Elevating Your Lakewood Estate
With its incredible parks, historic prestige, and the breathtaking shores of American Lake, Gravelly Lake, and Steilacoom Lake, Lakewood offers one of the most dynamic and beautiful lifestyles in the South Sound. Whether you own a sprawling historic estate near the Tacoma Country & Golf Club, a mid-century waterfront property, or a classic suburban home, your property should serve as a luxurious, modern sanctuary.
​
However, many of the older homes that define Lakewood’s charm feature highly segmented, closed-off floor plans that block natural light and no longer fit the way modern families live and entertain. At Fusion Builders LLC, we specialize in high-end, transformative renovations for discerning Pierce County homeowners. By safely tearing down restrictive walls, upgrading outdated materials to true luxury standards, and designing smart, functional layouts, we transform dated houses into spectacular modern estates. From the first design sketch to the final walk-through, we manage the heavy lifting so you can simply enjoy the transformation.

Outdoor Living & Custom Decks
If your property sits on American, Gravelly, or Steilacoom Lake, your view is your greatest asset. We design and build premium outdoor living spaces tailored to maximize your waterfront lifestyle. From expansive, multi-level composite decking with frameless glass railings—ensuring your views remain completely unobstructed—to heavy timber-framed covered outdoor kitchens, we create the ultimate environment for year-round entertaining.
Custom Additions & Guest Houses
Because of Lakewood's unbeatable proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), building a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) in your backyard is an incredibly lucrative way to generate high-value rental income from military professionals. Whether you are building an income property, a luxury guest house, or expanding your primary home with a master suite addition, we safely and seamlessly handle the entire build.
Navigating Lakewood Permitting, Shorelines & Building Codes
Renovating a waterfront estate or an older historic property requires a local contractor who intimately understands how to navigate highly complex municipal codes and environmental protections.
​
Whether we are securing Shoreline Master Program (SMP) exemptions for a new deck on Gravelly Lake, navigating the City of Lakewood's zoning regulations for a backyard ADU, or managing structural engineering to safely remove load-bearing walls in a mid-century home, Fusion Builders LLC handles the entire process. We manage all drafting, environmental reviews, and local inspections, ensuring your luxury project is fully compliant and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lakewood Remodeling
Do I need special permits to build or expand a deck on the lake?
Yes. Because of Lakewood's beautiful lakes, exterior projects near the water are heavily regulated. Waterfront properties must adhere to specific Shoreline Master Program (SMP) guidelines and setback requirements to protect the local ecosystem. We handle this entire specialized engineering and permitting process for you, ensuring your new deck is safe, stunning, and fully compliant with city and state laws.
Can I build a Detached ADU (DADU) in my Lakewood backyard?
Absolutely! Due to the high demand for housing created by JBLM and local Pierce County growth, the City of Lakewood is very supportive of Accessory Dwelling Units. We will assess your specific lot size, setbacks, and utility access to ensure a DADU is viable, and then handle the complete design, permitting, and construction of your new rental or guest house.
Can you remove load-bearing walls to open up my mid-century home?
Yes. Mid-century and older traditional homes are incredibly common throughout Lakewood, and they almost always feature closed-off kitchens that divide the home. We work closely with licensed structural engineers to safely remove these load-bearing walls and install hidden support beams (flush beams), transforming your home into a sweeping, modern, open-concept living area.
