Patio Installation Pricing in Seattle, WA

Seattle is a high-cost market where patio installation runs about 30% above the national average. The city's tech-aerospace-trade economy supports higher wages, which translates to elevated contractor rates.

Local climate plays a direct role in patio installation costs here. Persistent rain creates moisture management challenges for roofing, siding, and foundations; mild temperatures reduce HVAC extremes.
