Every deck builder job in Mukilteo has to answer the local ground and weather. Here is what we build for.
The closer the house sits to the water, the faster paint and cedar give out, and the west wall always goes first. Salt rides the wind up the bluff and finds every nail head. We hang siding out here with stainless or hot-dipped fasteners, because a rusty nail streaks the wall years before it lets go.
Most of the neighborhood went up between the mid 80s and the early 2000s, so whole streets come due for siding and roofs within a few years of each other. A lot of that era got T1-11, the grooved plywood panel siding, and once water sneaks behind those grooves the panel never really dries. We replace it, fix the flashing that let the water in, and side over dry sheathing this time.
Japanese Gulch and Big Gulch cut right through town, and it's the same story on the wooded lots down toward Picnic Point: slope decides how deep a deck footing goes, how a fence steps the grade, and where the water ends up once the October rain settles in. Ground at the bottom of a hill stays soaked for months, and soaked ground, not frost, is what makes posts lean around here. So we set posts deep, in concrete, with gravel at the bottom so the water has somewhere to go.
Here's what a deck build covers, all of it priced before the first footing goes in.

Mukilteo issues its own permits through City Planning and Community Development. Fences and decks that need a permit, we pull it and meet the inspector.
The review section is empty because we opened in 2024, and it stays empty until real customers fill it. In the meantime the promises are signed: quote, warranty, and schedule, in ink before any digging starts.
The people who walk your quote are the people who swing the hammers. Nothing gets handed off to a sub you've never met.
It's printed in the pages you sign, not implied on a website. Read it before you commit to anything.
Your written quote is your invoice. If something has to change mid-job, it gets priced on paper first and you approve 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, it's normal; siding from that build era is wearing out across the whole neighborhood at once. The salt wind hurries the west walls along. We replace the siding, redo the flashing behind it, and put the new wall over sheathing we've checked and dried.
Yes, on the side facing the water it does. Paint chalks sooner, bare cedar grays and checks, and bargain flashing quits years early up on the bluff. So materials get picked for that wall, and the quote names exactly which ones.
