General contractor in Federal Way, WA, USA

Federal Way requires building permits for most attached decks and for fences over a certain height, typically six feet. The permit process involves submitting a site plan and structural drawings to the city's building department for review. We handle the permit application and all required inspections so the finished structure is code-compliant and will not create issues at resale.

Roofs on Federal Way homes built in the 1970s and 1980s are often at or past the end of their rated lifespan, even if they are not actively leaking. Signs that point toward replacement rather than repair include granule loss in gutters, curling or cracked shingles, soft spots in the decking, and moss growth that has penetrated the shingle surface. A full inspection from the attic side often reveals decking damage that is not visible from the ground.

Yes. Many lots in the western Federal Way neighborhoods have grade changes that require stepped or racked fence panels rather than a straight run. We assess the slope and soil conditions before setting posts, because proper post depth and concrete footing size both depend on the grade and the fence height.
