Everett ground stays soaked from the first fall rain into spring, and the salt air off the bay works on hinges and fasteners all year. We set posts in concrete for the wet, spec hardware that shrugs off the salt, and haul the old fence away once the new one stands.

Free quoteCedar privacy fencingMost of the fences we replace in Everett went down one of three ways. Here's each one, and what we do differently so yours doesn't.
Frost isn't what kills posts here; most winters the ground never freezes deep enough to matter, but it never dries out either. Most of these yards sit on hardpan, a packed layer a couple feet down that rain can't drain through, so winter water just sits around a post and rots it at the ground line until the whole run leans. We dig deep, set ground-contact treated posts in concrete, and crown each footing so water sheds off instead of pooling against the wood.
From the waterfront up over Rucker Hill, the wind carries salt, and salt goes after metal long before it touches wood. Cheap hinges seize and cheap screws streak rust down a cedar board inside a couple of years. We spec coated fasteners and gate hardware built for salt air, so the one part of the fence that moves keeps moving.
The blocks off Rucker and Grand went up a hundred years ago, and some of their fence lines look halfway there themselves: posts soft at the dirt, panels held up mostly by the ivy that's pulling them down. Out by Silver Lake and Casino Road the story repeats a few decades younger. That much ivy would feed the goat for a week; what the fence line gets instead is a clean tear-out, priced up front with the haul-away, before the new line goes in.
Cedar privacy in the current market runs $35 to $60 a linear foot installed, vinyl $45 to $70, and a walk gate $400 to $900. Treat them as a county yardstick; what your yard costs turns on its slope, its gates, and how much old fence has to come out first. The math behind them, worked example included, is in what a fence costs in Snohomish County, and the real number is the free written quote we hand you after walking your line.
