Window, Door & Trim Repair in Lake Stickney, WA
Rotted sills, jambs and trim replaced, with flashing so the water stops getting in. Paint cracks at a trim joint, water runs behind the casing, and the sill and framing underneath slowly go soft. We replace rotted sills, jambs and trim with rot-resistant material, add head flashing and sill pans, and keep your windows whenever they are still in good shape. We serve homeowners across Lake Stickney and nearby Lynnwood and Mukilteo.

Why window and trim repair comes up so often in Lake Stickney
Most Lake Stickney homes have had their original aluminum windows swapped for vinyl, but the installers often kept the old wood sills and casing and simply caulked the joints. Years later that caulk has cracked, and water runs into the sill and the framing below it. Entry doors on west-facing walls take wind-driven rain and rot at the threshold and lower jambs. We strip the trim, rebuild sills and jambs with solid material, tape and pan the opening so water drains out, and finish with primed wood or PVC casing that matches the house.
Lake Stickney is an unincorporated pocket around a small lake just west of Interstate 5, between Lynnwood, Mukilteo and south Everett. Much of the housing dates from the 1960s through the 1980s: single-story ramblers, split-levels and modest two-story homes on medium lots, many with original cedar or T1-11 siding and aluminum windows that have since been swapped out. Some manufactured homes and newer infill houses and townhomes sit alongside them. Decks tend to be smaller and lower to the ground, often built of pressure-treated wood and added after the house went up.
The lake and the low ground around it hold moisture, and older homes here sit fairly close to grade, so lower siding and sill plates stay damp in the wet season. Wind from the Sound reaches the area from the west, pushing rain into walls that have little flashing behind the trim. Mature trees on established lots shade roofs and decks. Many homes are now 40 to 60 years old, and the long run of mild, wet winters has slowly broken down original paint, caulk and wood on every side.
Our crew comes out from our Woodinville office, and we also work in nearby Lynnwood, Mukilteo, Everett and Martha Lake.

Neighborhoods and permits in Lake Stickney
Homes right around Lake Stickney and Lake Stickney Park sit lower and see more dampness than the surrounding streets. Neighborhoods closer to the Highway 99 corridor have older, smaller homes mixed with newer infill. Streets to the north toward Paine Field and south Everett include more 1970s split-levels, while the areas west toward Lake Serene and Mukilteo rise onto higher, more wooded ground.
Even with a Lynnwood or Everett mailing address, a Lake Stickney home answers to Snohomish County Planning and Development Services. A small repair using the same materials often needs no permit at all. Replacing framing, building a new deck or re-siding a large area usually does, and we confirm with the county first and handle any paperwork.
