A General Contractor Who Knows Pacific Homes

Pacific's housing stock is what shapes every remodel decision here. Pacific straddles the King/Pierce county line and most of its housing dates from the 1970s through the 1990s — modest single-family ranches and split-levels on standard suburban lots. The Lake Tapps corridor has newer 2000s–2010s construction with more square footage. Older Pacific homes often have galvanized supply lines and original 100-amp panels that need attention during any plumbing or kitchen remodel.

Pacific is one of our closest Pierce County jobs — about a 15-minute drive south of our Kent base along Highway 167 and West Valley Highway. That proximity matters — when materials show up damaged or an inspector needs a same-day correction, we are not driving in from Seattle.

What's Included

Everything a Home Remodel Touches — All Under One Contract

Home remodels are bigger than any single trade — they require sequencing, structural awareness, and one person who owns the whole timeline. That person is us. Below is what's typically included in a Pacific home remodel; scope varies dramatically by project.

Whole-Home Renovations

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.

Additions

Square-footage additions including primary suites, bonus rooms, mudrooms, and bump-outs. Foundation, framing, roof, and finish work all in-house.

Layout Changes

Wall removal, structural openings, and footprint reconfiguration. We work with structural engineers to spec engineered beams when needed.

Flooring

Hardwood, engineered hardwood, LVP, tile, and refinishing existing hardwoods. Multi-room flooring projects coordinated with furniture move-out.

Paint, Trim & Doors

Interior and exterior paint, custom trim and millwork, baseboard, casing, crown, and new interior or exterior doors.

Windows

New window installation, retrofit replacements, larger-opening upgrades, and trim/sill work that matches existing.

Structural Work

Engineered beams, post replacement, foundation repair, and load-path corrections under permit and inspection.

Multi-Room Projects

Kitchen + primary bath + flooring + paint in one coordinated project — sequenced so subs do not step on each other.

Permits & Inspections

We pull City of Pacific permits for all structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work and schedule every inspection.

Pacific Permits & Considerations

What to Know Before You Start

The City of Pacific requires a building permit for virtually all home remodels beyond cosmetic paint and flooring. That includes structural changes, additions, window enlargements, electrical or plumbing alterations, and most layout reconfigurations. Larger projects also trigger plan review, energy code compliance, and sometimes mechanical permits.

We pull every required permit through the Pacific Permit Center, manage plan review, coordinate inspections at each phase (foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, final), and keep complete documentation in your project file. Unpermitted home remodel work is a serious resale liability — appraisers and inspectors catch it.

  • Permits filed with the City of Pacific under our license, not yours
  • Rough-in and final inspections scheduled and met on-site
  • Pacific is a small city — permits are typically processed quickly compared to larger jurisdictions
  • Permit copies handed to you at close-out for resale records
