Absolutely. Whether you need an extra bedroom, a new family room, or a full interior makeover, we handle everything — permitting, construction, and finishing — to ensure a seamless blend with your existing home.

Can NSS Homes help with design ideas and planning?

Absolutely! Our in-house designers will work closely with you to create a layout, choose materials, and visualize your new space. We’ll guide you through every detail — from inspiration to installation.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Kitchen remodel timelines vary depending on the scope of work, material selections, and layout changes. Most projects follow a clear schedule from design to completion, and we’ll keep you informed at every stage.

Can I stay in my home while the kitchen is being remodeled?

Yes. In most cases, you can remain at home during your kitchen remodel. While your kitchen space will be temporarily inaccessible, our team works efficiently and keeps the worksite clean to minimize disruption.

Do I need a finalized design before starting the remodel?

Not at all. We’ll guide you through the design process, helping you make selections for layout, cabinetry, finishes, lighting, and more. Our goal is to create a kitchen that fits both your style and functionality needs.

Will I need permits for my kitchen remodel?

We’re a locally rooted, design-build team that values craftsmanship, communication, and care. From concept to completion, our process is built to deliver a kitchen that’s not only beautiful but truly works for how you live.

How long does a home addition take?

Timelines vary depending on size and complexity, but we’ll provide a clear project schedule and keep you updated every step of the way.

Do I need to move out during construction?

Usually not. We plan and phase our work to minimize disruption so you can continue living in your home during the project.

Will the addition match my existing home?

Absolutely. We specialize in designing additions that blend seamlessly with your current structure, materials, and finishes.

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.

Will I need a permit to build an ADU?

Yes. ADUs require full permitting, zoning review, and inspections. NSS Homes handles the entire process so your project is 100% compliant and stress-free.

Can I build an ADU on any property?

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.

How big can my ADU be?

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.
