Deck Repair and local data in Pierce County
49% of homes in Pierce County's covered ZIP codes — roughly 132,425 houses — were built between 1960 and 1999, the age group whose original or added-on decks generate most repair work. Another 24% predate 1960, where the ledger attachment deserves a close look.
Water starts most repairs: measurable rain or snow falls on about 96 days a year (about 40.8 inches in total), and rot begins where water sits — board butt joints, post bases and behind the ledger.
About 27 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.
