Homes in Mukilteo
Mukilteo’s housing falls into two fairly distinct groups. Old Town, around the lighthouse and ferry landing, mixes older cottages, mid-century houses and newer view homes stacked on the bluff above Possession Sound. Harbour Pointe, on the plateau to the south, was largely built out in the late 1980s and 1990s as a planned community of two-story homes with vaulted entries, three-car garages and a lot of hardboard or early fiber cement siding. Decks there are mostly pressure-treated, many attached at the second floor. In between, homes along the gulches and wooded slopes include 1960s and 70s split-levels with daylight basements and cedar siding.
Few towns around here take as much open-water exposure as Mukilteo. The bluff looks across Possession Sound toward Whidbey Island, and winter southerlies and northwesterly blows both arrive with nothing to slow them down. Rain hits siding sideways, salt air corrodes fasteners and flashing, and decks on the water side rarely dry out between storms. Up on the Harbour Pointe plateau, the issue is less salt and more wind and long wet stretches, while the wooded gulches stay shaded and mossy. Each setting wears down paint, sealant and wood in its own way.
Old Town homes on the bluff deal with salt, wind and steep lots, so view-side decks, windows and railings give out first. Harbour Pointe’s 1990s houses show their age in swollen hardboard, tired window flashing and second-story deck ledgers. Lots bordering Japanese Gulch and Big Gulch sit beneath tall trees that keep roofs, fascia and back walls damp. Toward Picnic Point and the city’s southern edge, sloped wooded lots send runoff toward the uphill side of the house.

Learn moreWhat we fix most in Mukilteo homes
Deck Repair & New Decks
Repairs, rebuilds and new composite decks, built on solid framing with the flashing done right. In Mukilteo, that usually means decks start to rot from the framing and ledger up, long before the boards look bad.
Chimney Chase Repair
Rotted wood-framed chimney chases rebuilt, sided and flashed so they stay dry. In Mukilteo, that usually means wood-framed chimney chases take water at the top and rot from the inside.
Siding Repair & Replacement
Siding repair and replacement with the house wrap and flashing done right behind it. In Mukilteo, 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. Replacing a few rotted boards or a short run of trim in kind is often permit-free. New decks, structural repairs and larger siding projects typically require one, and homes near the bluff or on steep slopes may get added review. We check with the City of Mukilteo first, so the work is properly covered from day one.

Mukilteo 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.
