Homes in Kenmore
Kenmore wraps around the north tip of Lake Washington where the Sammamish River flows in. Most of its homes were built from the 1960s through the 1980s: split-levels, ramblers and two-story houses on wooded slopes in Inglewood, Arrowhead, Moorlands and Uplake, with lakefront and view homes along the Juanita Drive side. Cedar lap, hardboard and T1-11 siding are common, and many homes have large decks facing the lake or the woods. Newer townhomes and apartments have gone up near downtown Kenmore and along Bothell Way, mixing modern construction into an older housing stock.
Kenmore gets weather from two directions. Homes near the lake catch wind-driven rain and fog rolling off Lake Washington, which hits lakeside walls and decks hard. Up the hills, tall evergreens keep siding and decks shaded, and moss grows quickly on north-facing surfaces. The Sammamish River valley at the city’s low end holds morning fog and damp air. Steady winter rain on wooded slopes means many Kenmore homes stay wet on at least one side from fall through spring.
Homes along Juanita Drive and the lakefront take wind and spray off Lake Washington, so view decks and lakeside walls wear quickly. Inglewood and Arrowhead are hilly and heavily treed, with shade and moss on north walls and decks. Moorlands and Uplake are steep in places, sending runoff toward the uphill side of houses. Neighborhoods near Saint Edward State Park have mature forest close to the homes, while downtown has newer, denser construction.

Learn moreWhat we fix most in Kenmore homes
Structural Repair
Rotted posts, beams, joists and sill plates replaced and reinforced, with shoring when needed. In Kenmore, that usually means rot that started in siding or a deck reaches posts, beams and sill plates.
Fascia & Soffit Repair
Rotted fascia, soffits and rafter tails replaced, with drip edge so the roof edge stays dry. In Kenmore, that usually means overflowing gutters soak the fascia and rafter tails at the roof edge.
Siding Repair & Replacement
Siding repair and replacement with the house wrap and flashing done right behind it. In Kenmore, that usually means water gets behind older siding at every window, corner and roof line.
Every visit starts with a free inspection: we probe the wood, check moisture, photograph what we find and give you a written price before any work starts. Small like-for-like repairs usually don’t require a permit, while structural work, new decks and larger replacements usually do. The City of Kenmore handles residential permits, and lakefront or steep-slope lots can involve extra review. We check with the City of Kenmore before starting and keep you informed about what the job needs.

A year-round checklist for Kenmore homes
Fall
- Clean gutters and downspouts before the first big storms
- Check deck boards, railings and stairs before they get slick
- Look over window sills and trim for cracked paint
Winter
- Watch for stains on ceilings under decks and balconies
- Note any spots where water pools against the house
- Check that downspouts drain away from the foundation
Spring
- Walk the house and press trim, sills and corners for soft spots
- Wash moss off siding, decks and roofs gently
- Book repairs early: summer schedules fill fast
Summer
- Repaint and recaulk while the wood is dry
- Reseal wood decks and recoat balcony surfaces
- Replace rotted wood before the rain comes back
Kenmore gets the same long wet season as the rest of the region, so most exterior damage builds slowly from October to May. A short walk around the house each season catches problems while they are still small.
