Elevating Your University Place Property
With its pristine parks, top-tier schools, and the breathtaking, world-class links of Chambers Bay, University Place offers an unparalleled coastal lifestyle. Whether you own a classic mid-century rambler near the golf course, a sprawling property on the hill overlooking Day Island, or a classic suburban home, your property should serve as a luxurious, modern sanctuary that perfectly frames your surroundings.
​
However, many of the older homes built during UP's earlier expansions 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 Pierce County 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 By safely opening up restrictive floor plans, upgrading outdated materials to true luxury standards, and designing smart, functional layouts, we transform dated houses into spectacular modern estates.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.

Mid-Century Modernizations & Additions
University Place boasts incredible mid-century architecture, but these older sprawling homes often require highly engineered structural updates to fit modern living. Whether you need to safely expand your home's footprint with a master suite addition or simply want to modernize your layout while preserving the iconic architectural lines of the era, we ensure flawless integration with your original structure.

Navigating University Place Permitting & Steep Slope Codes
Renovating a coastal home or building an addition on the hillside requires a local contractor who intimately understands how to navigate the City of University Place's specific municipal codes and critical area protections.
​
Whether we are managing complex steep-slope geotechnical engineering for a new cantilevered view deck, securing structural permits to safely remove load-bearing walls in a 1970s rambler, or navigating city zoning regulations for a new backyard ADU or master suite, Fusion Builders LLC handles the entire process. We manage all drafting, environmental reviews, and city inspections, ensuring your luxury project is fully compliant and completely stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions: University Place Remodeling
How do you design decks to maximize Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views?
For University Place 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 mid-century rambler?
Absolutely. Mid-century modern homes and classic ramblers are the backbone of University Place’s architecture, and they often feature closed-off kitchens that divide the home and block the views. 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.
Do I need special engineering to build a deck or addition on a steep slope?
Yes. If your property is located on the hillside overlooking the Narrows, Day Island, or Chambers Bay, the City of University Place classifies it as a critical area. Any structural additions or decks will require specialized geotechnical engineering to ensure soil stability and prevent erosion. We handle this entire specialized engineering and permitting process for you, ensuring your new build is safe, stunning, and fully compliant.
