Deck Replacement and local data in Norfolk County

A replacement deck gets new footings to today's frost-depth rules; with about 143 freezing nights a year, shallow footings under older decks are a common reason a rebuild is recommended.
66% of occupied homes in Norfolk 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.
