Beam repair $500-$1,500 (cosmetic exterior work). Porch partial board replacement + new railing + finishing on ~350 sq ft: $3,000-$8,000
Range depends on extent of rot discovered during work, railing style chosen, and whether any structural surprises emerge. The beam work is straightforward; porch cost depends on percentage of boards needing replacement.
