Tacoma whole-home renovation for historic properties — careful Craftsman, Tudor, and Victorian rework with century-aware craft and modern systems behind the walls.
Tacoma whole-home renovation for historic properties — careful Craftsman, Tudor, and Victorian rework with century-aware craft and modern systems behind the walls.
A whole-home remodel in Tacoma has to respect what's already standing, and that changes block to block. The North End, Stadium District, and Proctor are dense with early-1900s Craftsman bungalows, Tudors, and Victorians — beautiful bones, but often carrying knob-and-tube wiring, lath-and-plaster, and cast-iron drains a renovation has to unwind before it can rebuild. South Tacoma and Central Tacoma trend toward 1940s–60s post-war stock with dated framing details, while the West End and waterfront view homes range from mid-century to modern.
Because our company is based in Kent, Tacoma is a 30–35 minute drive down I-5 — close enough to keep a months-long renovation supervised daily rather than from afar. Many of our whole-home clients fold a Tacoma kitchen remodel or a bathroom remodel into the same contract, and we run the same general-contracting work over in Bonney Lake.

A home remodel is bigger than any single trade — it lives or dies on sequencing, structural judgment, and one person owning the timeline end to end. That's us. Here's the range a Tacoma home remodel can cover, though scope swings dramatically from one project to the next.
Gut renovations, multi-room refreshes, and "down to the studs" projects. Sequenced room-by-room when you need to live in the home during work.
Square-footage additions including primary suites, bonus rooms, mudrooms, and bump-outs. Foundation, framing, roof, and finish work all in-house.
Wall removal, structural openings, and footprint reconfiguration. We work with structural engineers to spec engineered beams when needed.
Hardwood, engineered hardwood, LVP, tile, and refinishing existing hardwoods. Multi-room flooring projects coordinated with furniture move-out.
Interior and exterior paint, custom trim and millwork, baseboard, casing, crown, and new interior or exterior doors.
New window installation, retrofit replacements, larger-opening upgrades, and trim/sill work that matches existing.
Engineered beams, post replacement, foundation repair, and load-path corrections under permit and inspection.
Kitchen + primary bath + flooring + paint in one coordinated project — sequenced so subs do not step on each other.
We pull City of Tacoma permits for all structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work and schedule every inspection.
A few quick questions — about 30 seconds.

Tacoma Permits & Considerations
The City of Tacoma requires a building permit for virtually every home remodel beyond cosmetic paint and flooring — that means structural changes, additions, window enlargements, electrical or plumbing alterations, and most layout reconfigurations. The bigger the project, the more it pulls in: plan review, energy-code compliance, and separate mechanical permits.
We file through the Tacoma Permit Center, shepherd plan review, and coordinate inspections at every phase — foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final — with the full record kept in your project file. On a project this size, unpermitted work is a resale landmine that appraisers and inspectors are trained to find.
Honest Pricing
Home remodels swing far wider than a single kitchen or bath — one room versus a full addition is a different animal entirely. Tacoma sits mid-market for the region. The three ranges below cover the scopes we build most often.
One-room remodel, flooring throughout, paint and trim, door/window swaps, light electrical updates.
Multiple rooms updated, new flooring throughout, kitchen or bath included, new doors/windows, electrical and plumbing updates.
Layout reconfiguration, structural changes, full additions, whole-home gut renovations, complete systems updates.
Home remodels are scope-driven, so treat these as honest starting ranges for the Tacoma projects we build most. Complex additions, foundation work, or premium finishes can push well past the top number — and when they do, you'll see it in a line-item estimate with allowances called out clearly, never as a surprise.
