Every deck builder job in Arlington has to answer the local ground and weather. Here is what we build for.
Downtown and the hill neighborhoods drain fine. Down toward Haller Park and out in the valley, the Stilly backs water into the ground most winters, and soil that stays soaked into May is what makes a shallow post lean and a deck footing sink. Down there we dig deeper, pour more concrete, and grade the base so water moves off instead of sitting against the wood.
The early-1900s homes around Olympic Ave still carry their original cedar under decades of paint, and the flashing from back then lets water in behind the trim, where rot works quietly for years. We open up a section before we quote, so what we find is already in the number.
Most of what's gone up around Smokey Point and Gleneagle came with a builder-grade fence: skinny posts, shallow holes, rails that sag early. When one comes down we reset the line properly, bigger posts, real depth, concrete under every one.
Here's what a deck build covers, all of it priced before the first footing goes in.

Arlington issues its own permits through City Community and Economic Development. If your fence, deck, or remodel needs one, we pull it and meet the inspector.
We opened in 2024, so the honest review count is still zero, and it stays honest. While it climbs, here are four commitments you can verify yourself.
Whoever pulls the board at your inspection is on the crew that rebuilds the wall. We don't broker your project out to strangers.
The terms are written into the contract you hold in your hands. You read them first, then you decide.
The figure we hand you is the figure you pay. A change order in writing is the only thing that can move it.

Composite costs more the day it goes in and asks for almost nothing after. Cedar is cheaper up front, feels like real wood because it is, and wants a wash and fresh stain every couple of years to stay that way. We build both, and once we've seen how much sun and shade your yard gets, we'll tell you which one we'd put on our own house.
Size, height off the ground, and railing do most of it. In the current market composite lands between $60 and $100 a square foot installed and cedar between $40 and $65, but those are market ranges, not a bid on your deck. The full breakdown lives in what a deck costs around Snohomish County, and the design visit turns it into three real numbers for your own ground.
Under 30 inches off the ground at the lowest point of the yard, usually no. Over that line, yes, and a roof over the deck or a walkout underneath changes the answer too. When yours needs one we pull it, handle the paperwork, and meet the inspector, so you don't burn a day off waiting at a counter.
Yes, if it's built for that ground. Low ground near the Stilly holds water long after the river drops, so footings go deeper, posts get rated for ground contact, and concrete gets crowned to shed water. We walk the lot before we price anything.
Most weeks, yes. Behind the original trim on those Olympic Ave blocks there's usually a little rot, so we check behind the trim first and the quote covers what we found.
