Deck Repair and local data in Scott County
48% of homes in Scott County's covered ZIP codes — roughly 25,278 houses — were built between 1960 and 1999, the age group whose original or added-on decks generate most repair work. Another 9% predate 1960, where the ledger attachment deserves a close look.
Water starts most repairs: measurable rain or snow falls on about 55 days a year (about 30.6 inches in total), and rot begins where water sits — board butt joints, post bases and behind the ledger.
About 74 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.
