FYI: some of those composites are flimsy crap. I don't remember which is
which, the rubbery sawdust type i used a couple years ago was a total
disappointment for twice the cost of pressure treated

I'm located in San Jose, CA. and have several questions on deck
renovation
project.

My deck is pretty old wooden construction and I'm planning to replace it
completely including the frame. Probably will do composite for the
surface
and redwood frame. Deck is about 1000 sq.ft and is elevated about 1ft
above
the ground, no stairs, just couple of steps to the backyard.
What is the typical cost of deck replacement labor?
Which composite material would you recommend? I'm thinking of Monarch
Exotic
Tigerwood, which I found from local dealer for $2.85/ln.ft

Would really appreciate good advices and approximate estimates.
Thanks.

Cn't really help you with much of that. I am not familiar with the
'composite' material you are using, I presume it is some form of plastic
laminate board. Whatever you use check that it is sustainably harvested,
FSC
Forest Stewardship Council type approval.
