Home services / Lynnwood, WA

Everybody drives
through Lynnwood.

Half the county passes through here every day; we're the truck pulling off at 164th, headed for a job. The houses behind all that traffic are ramblers and split-levels pushing sixty now, and the thing that ages them is water, sitting all winter in yards that drain slow. Call (206) 735-1286 whenever it suits you, day or night; you'll get one of the crew, and the walkthrough and the written quote are free.

Mostly because the city built out in a couple of big waves, so the houses share birthdays, share problems, and keep us coming back for the same three fixes.

Wet yards from 164th to 196th

Dig a post hole almost anywhere between 164th and 196th and a couple of feet down you hit hardpan, a packed layer rain can't soak through, so from October to spring the water just sits on top of it. Around here that standing wet, more than any freeze, is what leans fences and tips cheap footings. We set posts and pour footings deep enough to bear below the soggy layer.

Ramblers and split-levels turning sixty

Whole streets off 168th and around Alderwood Manor went up within a few years of each other, ramblers and split-levels still wearing the cedar or hardboard lap they were born with. North walls hold moss and shed paint first, and trim goes soft wherever a blocked gutter kept it wet. We fix what's letting water at the wall, then make the outside match.

The rules near Scriber and Hall Lake

The blocks near Scriber Lake and Hall Lake carry protected strips around the water, what the permit office calls a wetland buffer, and those strips can decide where a fence or a deck legally sits. It's a measuring job, not a dealbreaker. We confirm the setback with the city before anything gets drawn, so the plan we quote is the plan that gets built.

The full list, one crew, one number. The fencing card goes to a page built just for Lynnwood fence lines.

Alderwood Manor, Meadowdale, Lake Serene, the blocks around Scriber Lake and Hall Lake, and everything filling in around City Center and the light rail. If the address says Lynnwood we come out, even in the county pockets where Lynnwood is only the mailing address. The goat prefers the jobs near the Interurban Trail; better grass.

Lynnwood runs its own permit counter, Development and Business Services at City Hall on 44th Ave W. If the fence, deck, or remodel needs a permit, we file it, track it, and meet the inspector, so your weekday stays yours.

We can't show you reviews yet; the company opened in 2024 and we won't invent any. What we can show you is a contract that spells out every promise before a wall gets opened.

1
No handoffs

One crew opens the wall, dries the framing, and hangs the new drywall, and the people you meet at the assessment are the ones who do it.

2
Contract-backed warranty

What it covers sits in the contract itself. You read the terms first, then you sign.

3
Your quote holds

We put one number on paper and we build to it. Extra work gets a written price and your yes before it starts.

Before you ask

Why do fence posts lean in Lynnwood?

Water, mostly. A packed layer under the topsoil keeps rain from soaking away, so winter water sits right where a shallow post lives, and wet dirt slowly lets go of anything that was never set right. Ours go deep, in concrete, and they stay put.

Why does split-level siding go green on the north side?

The shaded wall never really dries out between October and May, so moss gets a foothold and old cedar or hardboard lap sheds its paint there first. We find what's keeping the wall wet, fix that, then re-side or repaint so the work holds.

Does building near Scriber Lake or Hall Lake change the rules?

It can, because the city keeps a protected strip around the lakes and the wet ground that feeds them, and that strip can move where a fence or deck is allowed to sit. We measure the setback with the permit office before we draw anything, and the quote reflects the real spot.

Do you handle Lynnwood permits?

Yes, we file Lynnwood permits ourselves, through the city's Development and Business Services counter. The paperwork, the tracking, and the inspection walk are part of what you're paying us for.

We're back and forth to Edmonds, Mukilteo, and Bothell all week anyway; one town over changes nothing but the drive time.

Costs, permits, and what actually fails in this climate, answered before you ever have to call anyone.
