Deck Stairs and local data in Georgia
Stair landings and stringer bases sit low and stay wet; with about 49 freezing nights a year in our covered Georgia ZIP codes, a concrete landing or footing at the bottom of the stringers keeps stairs from heaving.
About 0.5 inches of snow a year makes slip-resistant treads and a graspable handrail especially important on exterior stairs.
Homes here have a median build year of 1993; stairs on older decks often predate today's consistent riser and tread limits and are commonly rebuilt during other deck work.

When is the best time for deck stairs in Georgia?
Average lows near Georgia 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–November.
The coldest month is January (average low 33°F) and the hottest is July (average high 89°F). July is typically the wettest month, with about 4.7 inches of precipitation — plan finish work around it. Use the winter months to settle the design and apply for permits, so footings can go in as soon as the ground allows.
