Fence installation / Everett, WA

Fence installation
in Everett, WA.

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.

Cedar fence installation in Everett, WAFree quoteCedar privacy fencing

Most 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.

1
Ground that stays wet till May

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.

2
Salt air off the bay

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.

3
Old fences on old blocks

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.

Representative photos of the work we do.

An honest review page for a company our age is a short one, so we skip the testimonials. Here are four things you can check yourself instead.

1
One crew, quote to last picket

The people who walk your fence line are the ones who dig it. Nothing gets passed to a second outfit.

2
The warranty is part of the contract

Its terms print inside the document you sign, so coverage is settled before the first post hole.

3
The quote is the invoice

One written number for the whole fence. A signed change order is the only way it moves.

Before you ask

What does a fence cost in Everett?

Cedar privacy runs $35 to $60 a linear foot installed in the current market, vinyl $45 to $70, a walk gate $400 to $900, and tear-out of the old fence adds $3 to $5 a foot. Those are market ranges; Everett slopes, alleys, and old tear-outs move them in both directions. The only number worth planning around is the one we write standing in your yard.

Why do fence posts lean in Everett?

Water, and the ground that holds it. Frost heave isn't the local problem; the ground here rarely freezes deep, but it stays soaked from October into spring, and a post standing in wet soil rots at the ground line until it tips. Posts set deep in concrete, rated for ground contact, are what keep an Everett fence straight.

Do I need a fence permit in Everett?

Most back and side fences under six feet don't need one. Corner lots and taller runs can, since the city checks sight lines at intersections. Everett handles its own permits at the office on Wetmore, and when a fence needs paper we file it as part of the job.

Cedar or vinyl this close to the water?

Either one, as long as the hardware matches the air. Salt gets to fasteners and hinges long before it bothers a board, so near the bay we spec coated hardware whichever material you pick. Cedar wants a reseal every few years; vinyl wants a rinse. We build both, and we'll say which one fits once we're standing on your lot.

The ground story changes at every city line, so each town gets its own fence page. Same crew on every one of them.
