What Homeowners Say
Real reviews from our Google profile — unedited, from real projects.
“We recently had Paul with GP General repair a damaged corner protector and sidings. His estimate was reasonable, his availability was timely, and his job was excellent. Our home hadn’t been re-painted in a while and the paint had considerably faded, yet he was able to match the color perfectly. Now we know who to turn to when in need of another repair work.”
“GP General replaced LP siding on our garage. Paul was very thorough when he came out to do the estimate; he listened to my concerns and was able to work out solutions on the spot. His crew did a great job and were very courteous. They also were careful about cleaning up (I didn’t find any nails!). Really happy with the job and can recommend GP General.”
“I highly recommend GP General Corp for siding replacement. We recently had our wood siding replaced with James Hardie lap siding, and Paul and his team did an excellent job.”
Built for here
Bowl weather, view stakes
Below 9th Avenue, Edmonds homes live in marine air — the same exposure that pits galvanized deck hardware and grays a stained cedar surface in two winters. Our Bowl-area decks get stainless fasteners and connectors and TimberTech’s four-side-capped composite, which treats salt fog as a non-event.
Up the hill in Seaview, Perrinville, and Westgate, the spec relaxes and the budget goes further — we’ll tell you honestly which side of that line your house sits on.
The design decision
Glass, cable or cedar — chosen on your deck
So many Edmonds decks exist for the ferry-lane sunset that railing is the design decision. All three are engineered to the 36″ guardrail code, and shown to you in samples on your own deck before you choose.
Glass panels
Preserves every degree of view and cuts the northerly breeze on exposed Bowl and Meadowdale decks.
Stainless cable
Nearly disappears, marine-rated by nature, and needs only occasional re-tensioning.
Cedar
Keeps the craftsman warmth these neighborhoods wear well, where warmth beats the last sliver of sightline.
Free on-site assessment

Free assessment anywhere in Edmonds, railing samples on site, and a free photorealistic rendering of the finished deck on your own house.
The usual job
Most Edmonds decks we touch are rebuilds
The typical call: a 1980s–90s cedar deck off the main floor, soft at the ledger, moss in the shade line, railing wobbling at the posts. The responsible fix is structural, not cosmetic — tear off, repair what the old ledger did to the wall (flashing and sheathing work is literally our trade), rebuild the frame to current code, then TimberTech surfaces and the railing your view deserves.
Where the frame is genuinely sound, we say so, and re-decking becomes the honest recommendation instead.

Common questions
Edmonds decks — FAQ
Glass or cable railing for an Edmonds view deck?
Glass gives the cleanest view and doubles as a windbreak — worth it on exposed Bowl and Meadowdale decks — but wants regular washing in salt air. Cable is nearly invisible, marine-rated by nature, and needs only occasional re-tensioning. Cedar still wins for craftsman homes where warmth beats the last sliver of sightline. We bring all three to the assessment.
How much does a deck cost in Edmonds?
New TimberTech composite: $70–$95/sf installed; elevated/structural rebuilds $95–$125+; re-decking a sound frame $55–$75. A typical 300 sq ft view deck with cable railing lands around $30,000–$40,000. Written line-item quotes are free, with a rendering of the deck on your actual house.
Can you fix what the old deck did to my siding?
That’s the part of deck rebuilds we’re most at home in — we’re a siding contractor first. Rotten sheathing behind old ledgers, missing flashing, stained cladding: repaired and re-integrated weathertight as part of the rebuild, not a change order surprise. It’s covered by the stated rot-contingency allowance in every quote.
Do you also work in Woodway or Lynnwood?
Yes — Woodway, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, and the whole Edmonds school-district area are inside our normal service map, along with Mukilteo and the rest of Snohomish County from our Everett base.
