Need more space but love your University Place neighborhood? A room addition lets you expand your home on your existing lot — adding the bedrooms, bathrooms, or living space your family needs without the cost and disruption of moving.
Cascade Pro, Inc designs and builds custom room additions throughout University Place and Pierce County, handling everything from architectural design and engineering to permits, construction, and final inspection.
Every home and family is different. Here are the most common types of additions we build:
Add one or more bedrooms to accommodate a growing family, create a dedicated guest room, or build a primary suite with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Bedroom additions are one of the most requested projects and add measurable value to your home.
Whether it’s a full bathroom, half bath, or expanding an existing small bathroom — adding a bathroom solves one of the most common homeowner complaints. We handle plumbing, tile, fixtures, ventilation, and all finishes.
Expand your home’s common areas with a new family room, sunroom, or great room. These additions create the open, comfortable living space modern families want without changing the rest of your floor plan.
When your lot doesn’t allow outward expansion, going up is the answer. A second-story addition can double your living space. We handle the structural engineering needed to support the new floor and tie the new level into your existing roofline.
Every room addition project follows a structured process to keep timelines tight and surprises to a minimum:
A room addition is a major investment that permanently changes your home — so it has to be done right. Cascade Pro brings the experience, licensing, and project management to deliver additions that feel like they’ve always been part of your house. University Place combines suburban comfort with proximity to Tacoma and JBLM. The area’s higher income levels and strong property values mean home improvement projects deliver excellent return on investment.
Room addition costs in University Place vary widely based on the size of the addition, complexity, foundation requirements, and finishes. A small single-room bump-out will cost significantly less than a multi-room or second-story addition.
Key factors that influence your project budget:
We provide detailed, line-item estimates after our initial property evaluation. You’ll know the full scope and cost before we break ground.
That depends on your lot size, zoning setback requirements, and lot coverage limits. During our consultation, we evaluate your property to determine the maximum addition size your lot can support within local building codes.
Absolutely — that’s a core part of our design process. We match the roofline, siding, trim, and architectural details so the addition looks like it was always part of the original home. Mismatched additions hurt resale value, so we take integration seriously.
Most room additions take 3 to 8 months from design through completion, depending on size and complexity. A single-room bump-out is faster than a multi-room or second-story addition. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during our initial assessment.
In most cases, yes. We plan the construction sequence to minimize disruption to your daily life. There will be some noise and activity, but we keep work areas contained and communicate the schedule so you know what to expect each week.
We handle the design and architectural work in-house, coordinating with licensed architects and structural engineers as required by your project. You don’t need to hire a separate architect — it’s all included in our full-service approach.
Adding permitted square footage to your home will likely increase your assessed value, which may affect property taxes. However, the increase in your home’s market value typically far exceeds the tax impact. We recommend consulting with a tax advisor for specifics.
Don’t let a lack of space push you out of the neighborhood you love. Cascade Pro, Inc builds custom room additions throughout University Place that give your family the space it needs while adding lasting value to your property.

University Place is one of the most desirable residential communities in the South Puget Sound, known for its well-maintained neighborhoods, top-rated schools, and proximity to Chambers Bay Golf Course. Homeowners here take pride in their properties, and home improvement projects in U.P. tend to deliver strong returns on investment thanks to the area's consistently high demand.
The housing stock in University Place is predominantly mid-century to 1990s-era single-family homes, many of which are prime candidates for basement remodeling, room additions, and ADU construction. Neighborhoods like Sunset, Bridgeport, Cirque, and the areas surrounding Chambers Creek Properties each have their own character and specific considerations we're well versed in.
University Place operates under its own municipal code with a planning department that emphasizes maintaining the community's residential character. We work closely with U.P.'s Community Development office to ensure every project — from a garage conversion to a full room addition — aligns with local setback, height, and lot coverage standards. Our experience across dozens of U.P. projects means we know exactly what to expect at each phase of the permitting and inspection process.
