Deck Repair and local data in Ramsey County
43% of homes in Ramsey County's covered ZIP codes — roughly 101,447 houses — were built between 1960 and 1999, the age group whose original or added-on decks generate most repair work. Another 44% predate 1960, where the ledger attachment deserves a close look.
Water starts most repairs: measurable rain or snow falls on about 54 days a year (about 29.2 inches in total), and rot begins where water sits — board butt joints, post bases and behind the ledger.
About 93 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.
