Decking in Lake Stevens, WA
Decking for Lake Stevens homes, from Builders Service Company.
Lot sizes shape deck plans here. Snohomish County assessor records put the median lot at 0.17 acres, which leaves room for a deck off the back of most detached homes without taking over the yard. With 76% of homes owner-occupied, many owners are building a deck to use for years, so we design it to blend with the existing house and fit your budget, and build it to current building codes.
We build with three materials:
- Composite decking and vinyl decking don’t rot and don’t need staining, which keeps upkeep low.
- Wood decking suits a natural look or a tighter budget, with regular sealing to keep it sound.
On lakefront lots, railing choice matters most: we plan railings that keep sightlines open toward the water. Valley wind in this part of the county is a reason to pay attention to fastening and hardware on exposed decks. Wildfire risk is rated low, at the 34th percentile statewide, so material choice can focus on upkeep, looks and budget.
