Deck Repair Calculator

Formula

To calculate the cost of deck repair:

\[ DR = (A \cdot m) + (B \cdot n) + C \]

Where:

$ DR $ is the total cost of deck repair ($)
$ A $ is the area of the deck (sq ft)
$ m $ is the cost per square foot for material ($)
$ B $ is the labor hours required for repair
$ n $ is the cost per labor hour ($)
$ C $ is the additional cost for special requirements or equipment ($)

Deck Repair Definition

Deck repair refers to the process of fixing or restoring a deck to its original or functional state. This could involve a range of activities such as replacing damaged or rotten wood, fixing loose or broken boards, repairing cracks, re-staining or painting, and overall maintenance to ensure the deck is safe and aesthetically pleasing.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Area of Deck (A) = 200 sq ft
Cost per Square Foot for Material (m) = $5
Labor Hours Required (B) = 10 hours
Cost per Labor Hour (n) = $20
Additional Cost (C) = $100

Using the formula:

\[ DR = (200 \cdot 5) + (10 \cdot 20) + 100 = 1400 \]

The total cost of deck repair is $1400.
