Deck Repair and local data in Gwinnett County

Water starts most repairs: measurable rain or snow falls on about 80 days a year (about 56.3 inches in total), and rot begins where water sits — board butt joints, post bases and behind the ledger.
About 47 freeze-thaw days a year back screws out and open checks in unsealed boards, which is why loose fasteners and split boards top spring repair lists.
