Elevating Your Steilacoom Property
As Washington State’s oldest incorporated town, Steilacoom offers an unparalleled coastal lifestyle defined by its quiet, tree-lined historic district, pristine parks, and breathtaking, panoramic views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Whether you own a century-old heritage home in the heart of town or a mid-century property perched on the hillside overlooking the Anderson Island ferry, your home should serve as a luxurious, modern sanctuary that perfectly frames your surroundings.
​
However, many of the older homes that give Steilacoom its incredible charm feature highly segmented, closed-off floor plans that block natural light and hide massive view potential. At Fusion Builders LLC, we specialize in high-end, transformative renovations for discerning homeowners. By safely opening up restrictive floor plans, upgrading outdated materials to true luxury standards, and designing smart, functional layouts, we transform dated houses into spectacular modern estates.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.

Historic Modernizations & Sensitive Updates
Steilacoom boasts incredible historic charm, but century-old and mid-century homes require highly engineered, sensitive updates to fit modern living. We specialize in modernizing your home's layout, electrical, and plumbing while perfectly preserving its iconic coastal architectural character. We ensure flawless integration with your original structure so your home maintains its historic soul while delivering top-tier modern comfort.
Waterfront View Decks & Outdoor Living
Your view of the Puget Sound, the Narrows, and the Olympics is your property's greatest asset. We design and build premium outdoor living spaces tailored to maximize your coastal lifestyle. From expansive, multi-level composite decking with frameless glass railings—ensuring your views remain completely unobstructed—to covered outdoor kitchens and elegant fire features, we create the ultimate environment for year-round entertaining.
Custom ADUs & Carriage Houses
Because of Steilacoom's quiet charm and close proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), building a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) or a Carriage House above your garage is an incredibly lucrative way to generate high-value rental income or create a private multi-generational suite. We safely and seamlessly handle the entire build, ensuring the new structure perfectly matches your primary home's historic aesthetic.
Navigating Steilacoom's Historical Preservation Board & Steep Slopes
Renovating a historic home or building on the coastal hillside requires a local contractor who intimately understands how to navigate the Town of Steilacoom's highly specific municipal codes and aesthetic guidelines.
​
Whether we are submitting architectural plans to the Steilacoom Historical Preservation Review Board for an exterior addition, managing complex steep-slope geotechnical engineering for a new view deck, or securing structural permits to safely remove load-bearing walls in a 1920s home, Fusion Builders LLC handles the entire process. We manage all drafting, design reviews, and town inspections, ensuring your luxury project is fully compliant and completely stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions: Steilacoom Remodeling
Can I remodel or build an addition on my home in the Historic District?
Yes, but it requires meticulous planning. If your property is located within Steilacoom’s Historic District, any exterior changes—including additions, new windows, and custom decks—must be reviewed and approved by the Historical Preservation Review Board to ensure they match the town’s architectural heritage. We handle this entire design and presentation process for you, utilizing historically accurate materials and designs that gain swift board approval.
How do you design decks to maximize Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views?
For Steilacoom hillside and coastal properties, preserving your sightlines is the number one priority. We highly recommend utilizing frameless glass railing systems or thin-profile cable railings paired with premium composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech). This ensures maximum safety, incredibly high durability against the salty marine air, and completely unobstructed views of the water.
Can you safely open up the floor plan in a century-old home?
Absolutely. Many of the beautiful older homes built during Steilacoom's early days feature highly segmented, closed-off rooms that block natural light and hide potential water views. We work closely with licensed structural engineers to safely remove these load-bearing walls and install hidden support beams (flush beams), transforming your historic home into a sweeping, modern, open-concept living area while preserving its original character.
