Historic Character & Modern Updates for Tacoma Bathroom Remodeling
Tacoma homeowners take pride in their city’s rich history, diverse neighborhoods, and stunning views of Commencement Bay and Mount Rainier. At Finecraft Construction, we specialize in bathroom remodeling that respects Tacoma’s unique architectural heritage—from charming North Slope historic homes and Proctor District craftsman bungalows to mid-century ramblers in South Tacoma and modern residences in Stadium and Old Town.
Tacoma’s location along the southern end of Puget Sound means coastal humidity, salt air, and cool, damp winters. Many older Tacoma homes feature original cast iron plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring, poor ventilation, and bathroom layouts that don’t suit modern lifestyles. Our process begins with a thorough in-home consultation. We inspect your plumbing, electrical system, waterproofing, insulation, and airflow. We check for hidden leaks, mold risks, salt corrosion, and structural concerns. Then we create a custom plan that balances historic preservation with durability, moisture control, and contemporary functionality.
We handle every phase of your remodel: demolition with careful salvage when appropriate, plumbing updates including cast iron replacement, electrical upgrades with GFCI protection, complete waterproofing, tile and flooring installation, vanity assembly, fixture mounting with period-appropriate or modern finishes, glass enclosures, and final touches. Popular upgrades for Tacoma homeowners include clawfoot soaking tubs for historic homes, walk-in showers with subway or hexagon tile, rainfall and handheld showerheads, dual vanities with quartz or butcher block countertops, heated flooring for cool Sound mornings, smart mirrors with LED lighting, and custom storage like built-in niches and refurbished antique cabinets.
For historic properties, we preserve original charm. For mid-century homes, we update functionality while respecting clean lines. We also offer universal design features such as curbless entry showers, grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and slip-resistant flooring.
Our team is licensed, insured, and experienced with Tacoma building codes and historic guidelines. We handle all permits and inspections. We pride ourselves on clean job sites, transparent pricing, and clear communication.
