Deck resurfacing and refinishing in Burnsville

Common questions

When does a Burnsville deck need a permit?

Burnsville's deck handout requires a permit when a deck is attached to the house, is 30 inches or more off the ground, or is part of an accessible route. It sets footings at least 42 inches deep, setbacks of 5 feet from side lot lines and 8 from the rear on most single family lots, and typically three inspections.

How long is the build?

The handout notes plan review takes 5 to 10 business days before a permit is issued. After that, size, material, inspections and weather set the schedule; ask for it in writing.

Wood or composite?

Wood is less expensive to build; composite costs more and, Trex says, never needs stain or paint. NAHB puts a wood deck at about 20 to 30 years in the North. Either way Burnsville requires approved treated lumber in the frame, and listed materials for composite.

Can the existing deck be resurfaced?

Possibly, if the frame is sound and meets the code. An inspection of the frame answers it.
