Apple Valley homes and decks

More of Apple Valley's homes date from the 1980s and 1990s than from any other period, 44 percent in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey. A deck built with one of those houses is now between about 27 and 46 years old, past NAHB's estimate of 20 to 30 years for a wood deck in a northern climate.

Lakeville homes and decks

Lakeville is 88 percent owner occupied and 72 percent detached houses in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey, with 48 percent of homes built since 2000. Lakeville is its own city, so the setbacks and permit rules to check are Lakeville's, not Burnsville's.

Eagan homes and decks

More than half of Eagan's homes, 56 percent, were built in the 1980s and 1990s, according to the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey. Decks built before 2004 may be CCA-treated lumber, which manufacturers stopped making for homeowner use at the end of 2003; the EPA does not require removing it, but it matters when an old deck comes out.

Savage homes and decks

Savage is 86 percent owner occupied in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey, with a median year built of 1997. It sits in Scott County rather than Dakota County and is its own city, so the setbacks on a quote should be Savage's.

Rosemount homes and decks

Half of Rosemount's homes were built in 2000 or later (50 percent in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey), and 87 percent are owner occupied. Decks built with the earliest of those houses are now past 20 years, the low end of NAHB's range for a wood deck in a northern climate.

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.
