Thanks everyone. We live in the county so we do not need approval of plans. We do need a permit and inspection upon completion, which the county recommends the GC do. Typically we are DIY'ers. We don't usually hire anyone to help but with a structure issue I thought it best to get help. I do think in the long run if I want to shed some of the cost my husband and I can install the decking material ourselves and install the fixtures. I didn't believe the lump quote was outrageous. It was about what I expected. I guess, I just assumed the number would include a little more than a lump sum. Should I wait until I get the other quotes before calling back the first guy back? Thanks again.
