Building a deck in Sandy

Sandy has a moderate outdoor season, which makes a deck a spring-through-fall centerpiece. Cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles mean footings set below the frost line and a stiffer frame — part of why deck costs here run a little above the national average. This area sees frequent severe weather, so impact-resistant materials and wind-rated fasteners and connectors are worth specifying. Much of the local housing stock is older, so projects here lean toward replacing tired decks and bringing footings up to current code rather than new builds.
