What Our Neighbors Say

Lea B.Deck & Exterior
Working with Volsen Custom Works brought incredible new life to our property. We replaced three deteriorating decks and an old balcony with four brand-new structures, modern stairways, and sheltered patios. James built a drainage system underneath that keeps everything perfectly dry. We already have plans for them to renovate our kitchen and bathrooms next.
David D.Bathroom Remodel
There is no construction crew more devoted than this team. The sheer dedication they bring to perfecting every last detail through each phase is something I have never experienced before with any contractor. Protective coverings were placed on all surfaces and we received thorough daily progress reports. An exceptional group of professionals to collaborate with.

University Place FAQ

Yes — University Place is our home base. Our office and operations are rooted right here in the UP community. That means faster response times, no travel fees, and a genuine investment in the quality of work we do in our own neighborhood. When you hire us, you're hiring your neighbors.

UP homeowners frequently come to us for full kitchen and bathroom renovations, custom deck builds, whole-home remodels, flooring replacements, and outdoor entertaining areas. The mix of mid-century and newer homes here means we adapt our approach to each property's unique character and potential.

Absolutely. We manage all permitting through Pierce County, schedule required inspections, and make sure every phase of your project meets the applicable building codes. Permit coordination is part of our standard process — we don't leave that headache to you.

Because we're based here, we can usually schedule an initial walkthrough within a few days of your inquiry. Project timelines depend on scope and permitting, but our local presence means less scheduling friction and faster mobilization than contractors commuting from farther away.

Call us at (360) 689-3751 or reach out through our contact page. We'll arrange a free on-site visit at your University Place home, walk through the project scope with you, and put together a detailed, honest estimate — no obligation and no hidden charges.

Without a doubt. Volsen Custom Works is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington state. Every project in University Place and throughout Pierce County is backed by comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Your home is protected from day one.
