ADU Construction

Custom ADU Construction in Tacoma

Looking to expand your living space, create a rental unit, or build a private retreat for family? NSS Home specializes in designing and constructing beautiful, functional ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) in Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Canterwood and surrounding Pierce County communities.

Whether it’s a detached backyard cottage, a garage conversion, or an in-home suite, we help you create a fully permitted, custom-built ADU that fits your needs and maximizes your property’s value.

Get started

A Better Home Starts Here

Most ADU projects stall in the same three places: zoning, setbacks, and a permit path nobody mapped out first. We handle all three, then build it. One accountable team from drawings to final inspection, on a fixed firm contract with a zero change order guarantee. You’ll know your number before we break ground, and it won’t move.

WHY YOUR PROPERTY DESERVES AN ADU

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN OUR ADU BUILDS

Every ADU we build is completely custom — designed around your goals, your property, and your budget. From the foundation to the final fixtures, we deliver functional, code-compliant spaces that look and feel like home.

An ADU gives you the flexibility to do more with what you already own — whether that means generating rental income, giving aging parents a place to stay, or creating a home office that’s separate but close.

At NSS Home, we make it easy. Our team handles everything — design, permitting, construction — and brings your vision to life with quality materials and efficient execution.

Building an ADU doesn’t have to be stressful. NSS Home guides you through every step — with full transparency, local expertise, and high-quality execution.
1. What qualifies as an ADU in Tacoma?
An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary residential unit on your property. It must include a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping space. Tacoma allows both detached and attached ADUs, depending on zoning.
Yes. ADUs require full permitting, zoning review, and inspections. NSS Home handles the entire process so your project is 100% compliant and stress-free.
Most single-family lots in Tacoma qualify, but size, setbacks, and design rules may vary. We’ll evaluate your site and walk you through the possibilities.
ADU size limits depend on your property and local codes, but they typically range from 400 to 1,000+ sq ft. We’ll help you design within legal limits — without sacrificing comfort or functionality.

We combine local knowledge, proven craftsmanship, and start-to-finish project management to deliver ADUs that are smart, stylish, and built to last.
