Local context
Why Homeowners in University Place Choose This Service
Remodels in University Place usually start with the stair that is already there. With midcentury homes and view homes common here, we plan layouts and materials that suit the existing architecture rather than forcing a one-size design.
University Place is mainly single-family homes from the 1960s onward, with view properties near the water.
We serve neighborhoods such as Chambers Bay, Day Island, Sunset Beach, about 35 miles from Seattle.
