🛠️ How This Calculator Works
A base cost range per repair type is multiplied by a severity factor and a material multiplier (vinyl and composite cost more than wood).
📐 Formula
Range = base × severity × material📝 Example Calculation
Loose post, moderate, wood: Base = $80–$220 Severity ×1.6, Material ×1.0 Range = $128–$352

- DIY supply cost is 30–50% of contractor pricing for most repairs.
