Who issues permits for deck resurfacing in North Carolina?

When is the best time for deck resurfacing in North Carolina?
Average lows near North Carolina stay above freezing almost all year, so construction can run nearly year-round; the most comfortable months for staining and sealing wood are March–May and September–October.
The coldest month is January (average low 32°F) and the hottest is July (average high 90°F). August is typically the wettest month, with about 4.3 inches of precipitation — plan finish work around it. January brings the most snow on average (about 1.6 inches), so footings and framing are best finished well before then. Use the winter months to settle the design and apply for permits, so footings can go in as soon as the ground allows.
