Wind off the bay drives salt and rain into the west walls, and the hundred-year blocks off Rucker and Grand hide rot behind their original siding. We open those walls knowing what we'll probably find, because these blocks hide the same rot in the same places. Call (206) 735-1286 for a free quote and you'll get somebody who opens walls like these for a living.
Three things, mostly: the bay, the age of the housing stock, and ground that drains slow. Here's how we build for each one.
Wind comes in off the water carrying salt, and the west and north walls pay for it first: paint lets go early, bargain fasteners streak, cedar grays out and checks. It's worst from Rucker Hill down to the marina. We flash every edge and spec hardware that can live a block from saltwater.
North Everett and Riverside still have houses on their first siding, built back when flashing was more of a suggestion. They're good houses, and the rot works quietly where those old details quit, behind trim and under sills. We check behind a board before we write the number, so the quote survives whatever the wall is hiding.
A lot of Everett yards sit over hardpan, a packed layer a couple of feet down that rain can't get through, so winter water just sits in the soil. Soaked ground is what rots a post and tips a footing. We set fence posts in concrete and dig deck footings deep enough that the inspector has nothing to add.
One crew for the whole list, from fence lines out by Silver Lake to kitchens in the old blocks off Colby. Open any card for the work and the warranty behind it.
We cover everything between Lowell and the waterfront: rot repair in Riverside, fences out by Silver Lake, siding in Bayside and Port Gardner, old-house work all over North Everett. The goat votes for whichever job is closest to the marina.
Everett runs its own permitting through City of Everett Permit Services on Wetmore Avenue, and we've been through that process enough times to know what the city wants to see. If your fence, deck, or remodel needs a permit, we file it, track it, and meet the inspector while you're at work.
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.

Tell us what the Everett house needs. A photo of the wall, the fence line, or the stain works better than a perfect description, and somebody who actually does this work will look at it and call you back.
Your photo goes to the crew, not a queue. You usually hear back within one business day at (206) 735-1286.
