Deck board replacement runs $25-$125 per square foot depending on material. Whole-job deck and fence repair pricing varies too widely by scope for one honest number without seeing the job. These are researched third-party ranges, not our prices.
| Job | Researched range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Deck board replacement | $25 – $125 / sq ft | Material-driven: pressure-treated pine at the low end, composite at the high end. |
| Deck repair, typical job | Post, rail and structural repair scope varies too widely for one range without a specific job description. | |
| Fence repair (post or section) | Ranges by material (wood, vinyl, chain-link) and whether a permit applies. |
The City of Longwood's guidance is that a small-area deck repair generally does not need a permit, but a larger repair does -- without a published bright-line threshold, so the City directs residents to call the Building Division to confirm. A fence permit application needs the signed contract (or an owner/builder statement), HOA approval where applicable, and two copies of a property survey showing fence and gate locations.
Central Florida's sun, seasonal rain and termite pressure are harder on exterior wood than a drier climate. Soft or spongy deck boards and leaning fence posts are a routine finding here, not a rare one -- especially on the two-thirds of Longwood's housing stock built between 1970 and 1989, where an original deck or fence structure is well past typical service life.
