Deck Repair and local data in Silver Spring
54% of homes in Silver Spring — roughly 64,270 houses — were built between 1960 and 1999, the age group whose original or added-on decks generate most repair work. Another 30% predate 1960, where the ledger attachment deserves a close look.
Water starts most repairs: measurable rain or snow falls on about 81 days a year (about 48 inches in total), and rot begins where water sits — board butt joints, post bases and behind the ledger.
About 85 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.
