[quote=Anonymous]A lot of it is labor. We were charged $950 to install two self-supplied ceiling fans in our porch. And it cost $250/ per outlet (plus $150 to run the wiring). We had a pretty big deck installed, but just to give you an idea how quickly costs added up: our bare bones 400sq ft unscreened upper deck was $13k. Lower deck was $11,700. Steps were $3200. Stair lights were $725. The bare bones portico (screens, roofs, beams, etc) was $12k. We upgraded the deck to Fiberon ($10k)(which I hate btw), the posts runners and rails ($10k) and the portico ($6k). Added skylights ($1k a pop). And then we needed a bunch of little things that added up (support beams etc). In the end, we were quoted $70k, but actually ended up paying closer to $80k. And that was in 2019, so you can double it if you want to figure out the current cost. [/quote]
