Remodeling in Ruston
We know Ruston homes
Ruston packs two extremes into one tiny town: modest early-1900s workers' cottages from its smelter days on the compact grid above Commencement Bay, and brand-new condos, townhomes, and single-family homes at the Point Ruston waterfront development.
Ruston is one of the smallest cities in the state, and remodeling its old smelter-era cottages means working on tight lots with narrow streets, which our crews plan around carefully. Permits go through the Town of Ruston rather than Tacoma, even though Tacoma surrounds it on three sides, and it pays to work with a contractor who knows the difference. Most of our projects here are whole-interior updates and small additions that add function to homes under 1,500 square feet, often with terrific bay views.

Ruston questions
Remodeling in Ruston, answered
Are Ruston permits handled by Tacoma?
No, and it trips people up: even though Tacoma surrounds Ruston on three sides, permits go through the Town of Ruston itself. It is one of the smallest cities in the state, and it pays to work with a contractor who knows the difference — we file with the right office the first time.
What can be done with a small smelter-era Ruston cottage?
Quite a lot. Most of our Ruston projects are whole-interior updates and modest additions that add real function to homes under 1,500 square feet, reworking layouts so every foot earns its keep. These early-1900s workers' cottages have great character worth building on.
Is Ruston too small a town for your team to bother with?
Not at all — we like working here. Ruston is 20 to 25 minutes northwest of our Milton headquarters, and our crews plan carefully around the tight lots and narrow streets on Stack Hill and the old grid, from staging materials to parking, so projects run smoothly for you and your neighbors.
Can a remodel make more of our Commencement Bay view?
Usually, yes. Many Ruston cottages sit above the bay with terrific views that their original window placement never took advantage of, so we rework layouts, enlarge openings, and add decks oriented toward the water. It is often the single most transformative move in a Ruston remodel.
