The house hadn't been painted in 10+ years so rotted masonite siding was replaced where needed, exterior paint, replaced broken windows, fixed active plumbing leaks, new HW heater, and added a deck.

It does need some new sliding glass doors, power washing of the deck, some potential floor leveling, washer/dryer and potentially bathroom upgrades.

I did that last year to show drainage problems, pool/pool deck/driveway failures, water intrusion inside, wood rot, original finishes on interior...  

they found us not liable for the fall, but I still think I should have a lawyer on deck who knows me and my business.

There are many other reasons why, like we have a large house that accommodates large families (10+), a large yard, pool, deck etc.

Work has included entire replacement of lower level flooring/sub-flooring, new roof, replacement of half the interior sheetrock, reconstruction of front and back decks, reconstruction of kitchen and bathrooms from ground up.

The odd thing is that he is quoting 18K for the deck repair.

This is from 2010, but it's a slide deck from Bill Ackman (billionaire hedge fund manager) talking about Real Estate.

We market flooring, decking, roofing, plywood, windows, cabinets, paneling, lumber, countertops, kitchen sinks, paints, showers/tubs, siding, etc.
