What’s included in a kitchen remodel?

Our kitchen remodels cover everything from custom cabinetry and countertops to flooring, lighting, and layout redesign. We work with you to optimize space, functionality, and aesthetics — whether you’re cooking nightly meals or entertaining guests.

Do you offer home additions and full-home renovations?

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.

Is NSS Homes licensed and insured?

Yes — we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington. We’re also proud members of local builder associations and hold certifications that ensure your project is built to last.

Can NSS Homes build a fully custom home?

Yes! We specialize in building custom homes from the ground up. From architectural planning to finish selections, our team guides you through every step to bring your dream home to life — your vision, your way.

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?

Some kitchen remodels do require permits — especially if plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved. NSS Homes handles all permitting and inspections on your behalf to ensure everything meets code.

What makes NSS Homes the right choice for kitchen remodeling?

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.

Will I need permits for an addition?

Yes — and we take care of everything. Our team handles all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance to ensure your addition is fully approved and safe.

Why choose NSS Homes for your addition?

We bring unmatched attention to detail, clear communication, and years of trusted experience in Tacoma. With NSS Homes, you get more than space — you get peace of mind.

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.

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.

What makes NSS Homes the right choice for my ADU?

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