The issue readings, priced apart by frame
| Issue reading | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Board replacement | $500-$4,000 per-job band | $175-$875 per board |
| Railing | $500-$4,000 issue row | $150-$5,000 type row |
| Visit overall | rows priced apart | $750-$2,500 most repairs |
Each reading is one frame's own counting of one issue: an issue row counts the named issue alone inside one repair visit, priced by issue, and per-issue rows are never blended into a restoration row.
The issue rows, priced apart
| Issue row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Mold and rot | $200-$500 | in most-repairs band |
| Termite or other pests | $200-$600 | in most-repairs band |
| Fastener replacement | in issue rows | $50-$200 |
| Post replacement | in issue rows | $150-$500 per post |
Frame A prints its issue rows as their own lines; Frame B prints its own type rows beside them, and a row with no printed line in one frame stands as in that frame, never filled from the other frame.
The stair and surface rows, priced apart
| Issue line, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Loose stairs | Frame A | $25-$50 per stair |
| Stair repairs | Frame B | $150-$300 per stair |
| Resurfacing | Frame A | $15-$50 per square foot |
| Cleaning and sealing | Frame B | $300-$1,500 |
| Pressure washing | Frame A | $200-$450 |
The stair rows count a stair reading inside the repair visit alone: whole-deck replacement is its own field, named apart, and no row here prices a replacement. The two frames count the same board job differently -- Frame A reads board replacement at $500-$4,000 as one per-job band, while Frame B reads a board row at $175-$875 per board as its own by-type row. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged.
The totals behind the rows, and the neighbours named apart
Behind the rows stand the headline lines: Frame A issue rows from a $25-$50 stair row to a $500-$4,000 board band, Frame B type rows from a $50-$200 fastener row to a $150-$5,000 railing row. The repair visit against the restoration ticket prices apart on the repair-vs-restoration guide. Named apart, never a row here: the restoration project ticket, the restoration guide own field with its board repair rows standing inside a restoration ticket and never a row here; deck staining, a finish project on its own hub; pool decks, priced on the pool-deck guides; and whole-deck replacement, a new deck purchase on the deck cost hub.
