Real questions from Snohomish and King County homeowners — answered by a licensed WA contractor.
Doors & Windows · Weatherstripping & Drafts
Why are my windows foggy between the panes?
Fog between the two panes of a sealed insulated window means the seal has failed and moisture is trapped inside. The glass unit (called an IGU) can be replaced without replacing the whole window frame — usually $150–$400 per unit. It won't fix itself and it won't get better.
Exterior & Weatherproofing · Siding & Exterior Paint
How often should I repaint the exterior of a PNW home?
In Snohomish and King County, expect to repaint a well-prepped exterior every 8–12 years. Homes on windward exposures (south/west facing, no tree cover) hit the shorter end. The single biggest factor is the caulking and prep before paint — a cheap paint job over bad prep fails in 4 years.
Exterior & Weatherproofing · Siding & Exterior Paint
How do I know if I have wood rot in my siding or trim?
Take a screwdriver and press firmly (not hard) against suspect wood — mainly the bottom edge of trim, corner boards, and any spot with peeling paint. Sound wood resists; rotten wood dents or crumbles. In the PNW, rot almost always starts at horizontal surfaces or trim-to-siding joints where water sits.
Exterior & Weatherproofing · Decks & Outdoor Structures
How often should a deck be stained or sealed in the PNW?
Semi-transparent stain lasts 2–3 years on a PNW deck; solid stain lasts 4–6 years; clear sealer lasts 12–18 months. Whichever you use, plan on a full clean and re-coat schedule and stick to it — a deck that's gone gray from neglect needs more than a re-coat, it needs board replacements first.
