Homes in Picnic Point
Picnic Point is an unincorporated community on the wooded slopes between Mukilteo and Edmonds, above the Puget Sound shoreline. Most homes were built from the 1960s through the 1980s, with split-levels, daylight basements and two-story contemporaries designed to catch views of the water. Cedar siding, vertical board-and-batten and T1-11 are common on the older homes, with fiber cement on newer builds and remodels. Lots are often sloped, so tall decks, elevated walkways and multi-level decks stepping down the hill are a standard part of the housing stock.
Picnic Point sits right on the Sound, and homes facing west catch wind-driven rain and salt air that work into siding, trim and deck fasteners. Steep wooded lots drain toward the house on the uphill side, keeping foundation walls, sill plates and lower siding wet. Tall firs shade many homes and drop needles into gutters and onto decks. Wind storms coming off the water hit exposed bluff-top homes harder than inland neighbors, and the combination of salt, shade and slope makes this one of the tougher exposures in our area.
Homes along Picnic Point Road and the bluffs above Picnic Point Park face direct weather off the Sound and see the most wind and salt exposure. Lots in the wooded ravines between the shoreline and the upland streets stay shaded and wet. Higher neighborhoods closer to Highway 525 and the Mukilteo edge have newer homes and less exposure, while the Norma Beach area combines steep slopes with water-facing walls.

Chimney Chase Repair
Rotted wood-framed chimney chases rebuilt, sided and flashed so they stay dry. In Picnic Point, 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 Picnic Point, 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. Picnic Point has no city government, so Snohomish County Planning and Development Services is who we talk to. Routine repairs with matching materials are often permit-free, but structural repairs, new or rebuilt decks and bigger replacements typically need approval. Steep slopes and shoreline proximity can add review, which is why we contact the county early.
