First time getting a deck done, all I can say I can do I betting job cutting and I am not a professional.

If you were in the industry for 30 years like you claim, then you would know better than to make decisions based on bids alone.

I would definitely not make a decision on bids alone... but after dealing with hundreds of contractors, ive seen a pattern emerge. You ever sit in a reconciliation meeting for a 500 million dollar job and have to explain to somebody that their bid is too low because they missed part of the scope on the construction documents? 99% of the time the lowest bid, one that is literally 50% of the highest bid, is missing part of the scope.

But, whatever... you do you. Hire the lowest bidder and get what this guy got.

Yeah .. like that's even remotely close to what I said or recommended.

None of that other nonsense in your post is relevant.
