Deck Replacement and local data in Baltimore County
About 162,912 homes in Baltimore County's covered ZIP codes (57%) 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 92 freezing nights a year, shallow footings under older decks are a common reason a rebuild is recommended.
65% of occupied homes in Baltimore County's covered ZIP codes are owner-occupied, and owners planning to stay often use a replacement to resize the deck around how they actually use it.
