Deck Replacement and local data in Minneapolis
About 218,142 homes in Minneapolis (43%) 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 147 freezing nights a year, shallow footings under older decks are a common reason a rebuild is recommended.
61% of occupied homes in Minneapolis are owner-occupied, and owners planning to stay often use a replacement to resize the deck around how they actually use it.

Minneapolis deck plans must show footings sized for the load and reaching a frost depth of at least 42 inches below grade, plus guards and baluster spacing where the deck is more than 30 inches above grade.
Why are Minneapolis deck footings so deep?
Because frost penetrates deep in Minnesota winters; the city's guide sets a 42-inch minimum, and northern parts of the state require more.
