Straight talk
What a Deck Actually Costs & How Long It Takes
Most builder sites duck this. We won't. Here's what we've seen across hundreds of Everett-area builds.
Cost
Most of the decks we build land between $8,000 and $35,000. Size, material, and how custom the build is move that number more than anything.
- Pressure-treated wood is the cheapest material, but you'll spend more on maintenance over time.
- Cedar sits in the middle and looks best out of the gate.
- Composite costs the most up front, but you'll never sand or seal it.
- Railings and stairs can be 20–30% of the project cost on their own.
- Permits in Everett typically run $200–$600, depending on city and scope.
We'll give you a clear written estimate after the on-site visit. No vague "starting at" pricing.
Timeline
Most homeowners are using their new deck within 4–8 weeks of the first call. Here's how it usually breaks down.
- Estimate to start date: typically 2–6 weeks, depending on permits and our schedule.
- Permit turnaround in Everett: 1–3 weeks for most residential deck permits.
- Standard build: 3–7 days on site.
- Larger or covered build: 1–2 weeks on site.
- Inspections & walkthrough: built into the final day on the job.
Weather can shift dates by a day or two — we'll keep you posted.
Reviews
What Everett Homeowners Say
Clear estimate before work began — no surprise costs. Composite deck in Everett looks great and held up through a full winter.
Organized crew, clean job site, and careful finish on the railings and stairs. Would hire again for our next project.
They planned the deck layout around our yard perfectly — covered the stairs, added a gate for the dog, and finished on schedule.
From the crew
What We Wish More Homeowners Knew
After years of building decks in Snohomish County, here's the stuff we wish every homeowner heard before signing with anyone.
The cheapest bid usually isn't the cheapest deck.
Cut corners on footings or framing and you'll be replacing the deck — or worse, repairing a collapse — within 5–10 years. Look at what's under the boards, not just what's on top.
Composite isn't maintenance-free.
It's low-maintenance. You'll still need to rinse it occasionally, clear leaves from the gaps, and avoid dragging metal furniture across it.
Permits aren't optional in Everett.
Decks over 30 inches off grade, with stairs, or attached to the house almost always need one. Skipping the permit can block your home sale later — buyers' inspectors find unpermitted decks fast.
Cedar darkens fast.
That warm honey color you saw in the showroom turns grey-brown in about six months unless you stain or seal it. Plan for the look you actually want a year in, not the look on install day.
Plan railing height before framing.
Code requires 36 inches minimum on residential decks. Get this wrong during framing and you'll redo the post layout — not just the rails.
Don't skip the on-site visit.
Quotes given over photos or square footage alone miss the real issues — drainage, slope, beam reach, how the deck sits against the house. If a builder won't come look, that's your first red flag.
Ask who's actually building it.
A lot of builders sell the work and sub it out to whoever's available. Our crew is our crew. You'll see the same faces from estimate to final walkthrough.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What deck material works best in Everett weather?
Composite decking is the most durable choice for Everett's wet climate — it resists rot, mold, and moisture without annual sealing. Cedar is a strong natural option with good rot resistance. Pressure-treated lumber is the most cost-effective for structural framing. We help you compare options during your free estimate.
Do you build both wood and composite decks?
Yes. Northwood Renovation builds cedar decks, pressure-treated wood decks, and composite decks in Everett and Snohomish County. We also combine materials — composite boards over pressure-treated framing is one of our most popular builds.
Can you build covered decks in Everett?
Yes. We build covered decks, pergolas, and shade structures in Everett and surrounding areas. Covered decks typically require a building permit in Everett — we handle the permit application as part of your project.
Do you handle deck stairs and railings?
Yes. Every deck we build includes properly framed stairs and code-compliant railings. We also build standalone railing upgrades and stair replacements for existing decks.
How long does a deck project usually take?
Most standard decks in Everett take 3–7 days to install once materials are confirmed and permits are in place. Larger or covered decks may take 1–2 weeks. We give you a clear timeline during the estimate.
Do you offer deck replacement for old or unsafe decks?
Yes. We provide full deck demolition and replacement in Everett, including inspecting existing footings, removing the old structure, and rebuilding with updated materials and design.
Do you offer free estimates for Everett deck projects?
Yes. We offer free on-site estimates for all deck projects in Everett and Snohomish County. We visit your property, review the space, and provide a clear written estimate with no obligation.

Custom Deck Installation
Every yard is different, so every deck we build is too. We design and install attached decks, freestanding platforms, multi-level layouts, and covered outdoor structures — sized to your space and built around how you'll actually use it.
A typical custom deck project includes on-site measurement, material selection, permit coordination, structural framing, board installation with hidden fasteners, and railing and stair finishing.
Composite Deck Installation
Composite is the most popular choice for our region. It resists rot, mold, moisture, and UV fading — no annual sanding, sealing, or staining required. We install composite boards from leading manufacturers over pressure-treated framing, with code-compliant railings and stairs.
Replacing an old wood deck with composite? We handle demo, frame inspection, and full rebuild in one project.
Wood Decks — Cedar and Pressure-Treated
Wood remains the warmest, most customizable option for Pacific Northwest backyards. Cedar offers natural rot resistance and a clean surface for custom shapes, built-in features, and stained finishes. Pressure-treated is the most cost-effective choice for structural framing and larger platforms.
Both can be stained, sealed, or painted to match your home's exterior.
Deck Replacement
If your existing deck is rotting, sagging, or unsafe, we handle full removal and replacement — including inspecting footings and existing framing before the rebuild.
Common upgrades during replacement: switching wood to composite, adding railings, extending the footprint, or replacing unsafe stairs. Deck replacement in Everett typically requires a building permit, which we handle as part of the project scope.
Covered Decks and Pergolas
A covered deck turns a four-month outdoor space into a ten-month one — rain protection in fall and spring, shade in summer. We build open-beam pergolas, solid roof additions, polycarbonate covers, and lattice shade structures, either integrated into a new deck build or added to an existing one.
