Deck Replacement and local data in Atlanta
About 231,064 homes in Atlanta (44%) date from 1960–1999. Decks original to those houses are now past their structural life, not just their surface life, which is when replacement beats repair.
A replacement deck gets new footings to today's frost-depth rules; with about 49 freezing nights a year, shallow footings under older decks are a common reason a rebuild is recommended.
48% of occupied homes in Atlanta are owner-occupied, so rental owners make many replacement decisions and tend to favor low-maintenance boards.
