Deck Replacement and local data in Suffolk County
About 86,858 homes in Suffolk County's covered ZIP codes (24%) 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.
36% of occupied homes in Suffolk County's covered ZIP codes are owner-occupied, so rental owners make many replacement decisions and tend to favor low-maintenance boards.
