Deck Repair and local data in Kansas
54% of homes in our covered Kansas ZIP codes — roughly 148,646 houses — were built between 1960 and 1999, the age group whose original or added-on decks generate most repair work. Another 14% predate 1960, where the ledger attachment deserves a close look.
Water starts most repairs: measurable rain or snow falls on about 65 days a year (about 40.7 inches in total), and rot begins where water sits — board butt joints, post bases and behind the ledger.
About 77 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.

Kansas has no statewide residential contractor license. In Johnson County, where most covered Kansas ZIPs are, anyone doing work that requires a building permit, decks included, must hold a Johnson County Contractor's License, while the permit itself comes from the city.
