Residential construction for Snohomish homeowners
Grizzly Construction & Excavation is based in Snohomish and builds concrete, foundations, house additions, ADUs, decks, fences and retaining walls for local homeowners. Planning starts with the property itself: grade, drainage, access, utilities and the permit authority responsible for the parcel.

Properties inside incorporated Snohomish begin with the City Permit Center; unincorporated properties use Snohomish County Planning and Development Services. The exact project and site conditions determine the final review path.

A local contractor with a broad residential scope
Grizzly is an owner-led construction company with more than fifteen years of construction experience. Its residential scope connects finished improvements with the excavation, foundation and site work below them, reducing avoidable handoffs on projects that cross several phases.
Snohomish includes older homes near the historic core, newer subdivisions, edge-of-town lots and rural properties outside City limits. Similar projects can have different starting points because access, grade, drainage, landscaping, wells, septic systems and existing detached structures affect what fits and how work should be sequenced.
Permit and zoning requirements change. The official jurisdiction—not this page—makes the final determination for a specific parcel.

Does the City or County issue my permit?

Yes. Start with the project goal, rough size, address, photos and any drawings already available. An early site conversation can identify questions that need design, engineering or permit research before final pricing.
