McBride Construction - Snohomish's Best Fence Builders
3811 87th Ave SE, Snohomish, WA 98290
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prevent wood fence rot in Snohomish’s damp climate?
In Snohomish, moisture from the river and frequent rain accelerates wood rot. We address this by using rot-resistant woods like cedar or pressure-treated lumber, installing gravel or concrete footings to keep wood off the ground, and applying weatherproof stains or sealants. We also ensure proper airflow behind fence panels and recommend annual inspections to catch early signs of decay.
When should I repair my deck versus replace it entirely?
If your deck has isolated issues like a few rotten boards or loose railings, repair is often cost-effective. However, if the ledger board is compromised, the posts are rotted at the base, or the framing shows widespread decay, replacement is safer and more economical in the long run. We offer free inspections to assess structural integrity and provide an honest recommendation.
Can you build an ADU or guest house as part of a larger remodeling project?
Yes, we handle single-family home construction and ADU additions. Whether you need a detached guest house or a garage conversion, we manage design, permits, and construction. Our team works within Snohomish County codes and can integrate the ADU with existing structures, such as adding a bathroom or laundry room.

Local Business Overview
McBride Construction, based in Snohomish, Washington, has served homeowners across King, Snohomish, and Skagit Counties for over a decade. As a locally owned general contractor, we specialize in decks and railings, fences and gates, and full remodeling services—including kitchen and bath renovations, room additions, and ADU construction. Our work focuses on durable outdoor living spaces that withstand the Pacific Northwest climate. In Snohomish, we frequently address common fencing issues: moisture damage from the Snohomish River valley and vegetation overgrowth, such as blackberries and ivy. We combat wood rot by using pressure-treated lumber or cedar with proper sealing, and we install fences with adequate drainage and clearance to prevent ground contact decay. For vegetation damage, we recommend regular trimming and use of metal posts in high-moisture areas. Our team is familiar with local neighborhoods like Bickford and the historic district near First Street, and we often work along the Riverfront Trail area. Whether you need a custom deck built for entertaining or a privacy fence that lasts, we provide practical solutions tailored to Snohomish’s unique conditions.
