Elevating Your Tacoma Home
From the beautiful tree-lined streets of the North End and Proctor to the historic grandeur of the Stadium District and the sweeping views of the West End, Tacoma offers an unmatched Pacific Northwest lifestyle. Whether you own a century-old Craftsman, a mid-century view property near the Narrows, or a classic bungalow in South Tacoma, your house should serve as a luxurious, comfortable sanctuary that reflects the unique character of your neighborhood.
However, the historic homes that give Tacoma its incredible architectural soul often feature highly segmented, closed-off floor plans, outdated plumbing, and dark rooms that no longer fit the way modern families live and entertain. At Fusion Builders LLC, we specialize in high-end, transformative renovations. By safely tearing down restrictive walls, upgrading failing lath-and-plaster, and designing smart, open-concept layouts, we transform dated houses into spectacular, modern estates—all while preserving the historic charm you fell in love with. From the first design sketch to the final walk-through, we manage the heavy lifting so you can simply enjoy the transformation.
Our Custom Remodeling Services in Tacoma, WA
Historic & Craftsman Modernizations
Tacoma boasts some of the finest historic architecture in the state, but century-old Craftsman, Tudor, and Victorian homes require highly engineered, sensitive updates. We specialize in modernizing your home's layout, electrical, and plumbing while perfectly preserving its iconic architectural character—incorporating the original millwork, built-ins, and charm of the era while delivering top-tier modern, open-concept luxury.
Open-Concept Kitchens
The kitchen is the absolute center of your family's daily life. We specialize in removing restrictive load-bearing walls in older Tacoma floor plans to create sprawling, open-concept layouts that connect your cooking, dining, and living spaces. Our team installs expansive custom islands, beautiful quartz countertops, and premium cabinetry built to withstand both elegant hosting and the beautiful chaos of family life.
Custom ADUs & DADUs
Thanks to Tacoma’s progressive "Home In Tacoma" zoning initiatives, building a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) in your backyard or finishing a basement apartment is an incredibly lucrative way to generate high-value rental income. Whether you need a custom backyard cottage, a carriage house over your garage, or a multi-generational suite, we safely and seamlessly handle the entire build from the ground up.
View Decks & Outdoor Living
Whether you are looking out over Commencement Bay, the Narrows Bridge, or Mount Rainier, your Tacoma view is your property's greatest asset. We design and build premium outdoor living spaces tailored specifically to your lot. From expansive, multi-level composite decking with frameless glass railings to covered outdoor kitchens, we create the ultimate environment for year-round entertaining.
Navigating Tacoma Permitting, Historic Registers & Steep Slopes
Major renovations in an established city require a local contractor who knows exactly how to navigate complex municipal codes to prevent costly delays.
Whether we are securing structural permits to safely remove load-bearing walls in a 1920s North End home, managing steep-slope geotechnical engineering for a new cantilevered view deck near Ruston Way, or ensuring your exterior renovation complies with Tacoma's Historic Preservation Office, Fusion Builders LLC handles the entire process. We manage all architectural drafting, permit submissions, and local inspections, ensuring your luxury project is fully compliant and stays on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions: Tacoma Remodeling
Can you safely open up the floor plan in a century-old Tacoma Craftsman?
Absolutely. Older homes in neighborhoods like Proctor, Stadium, and the North End were built with highly segmented, closed-off rooms that block natural light. We work closely with licensed structural engineers to safely remove these load-bearing walls, address old lath-and-plaster, and install hidden support beams (flush beams). This transforms your historic home into a sweeping, modern, open-concept living area while preserving its original architectural soul.
Is it easy to build a Detached ADU (DADU) in Tacoma?
Yes! The City of Tacoma has implemented some of the most progressive and accommodating ADU laws in the state to help ease the housing shortage. Setback requirements and lot size minimums have been significantly relaxed. We will assess your specific lot's zoning, alley access, and utility connections to ensure a DADU is viable before designing the perfect custom guest house or rental property for your space.
Do you handle the permit process for homes in Tacoma's Historic Districts?
Yes. If your property is located within one of Tacoma’s Historic Special Review Districts (like the North Slope or Wedge Neighborhood), exterior changes require strict approval to ensure they match the neighborhood's heritage. We handle this entire design and presentation process for you, utilizing historically accurate materials and designs to gain swift city approval.
