The Maritime City’s Premier Design-Build Contractor
Embrace the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Iconiq Construction specializes in high-end custom home remodeling across Gig Harbor, transforming historic downtown properties, Canterwood estates, and waterfront homes into resilient, light-filled sanctuaries designed to capture breathtaking Puget Sound views.
Local Construction Solutions
Remodeling in a coastal community requires more than standard building practices. From defending against marine weather to navigating strict waterfront regulations, we engineer our processes around Gig Harbor’s unique environment:
Older homes often fail to capture their scenic surroundings. We specialize in structural modifications—removing restrictive walls, vaulting ceilings, and installing massive multi-slide glass doors to bring the beauty of the harbor indoors.
Salt air, heavy wind, and coastal rain can quickly degrade standard materials. We upgrade your home’s envelope using marine-grade finishes, advanced weather-proofing, and ultra-durable fiber cement siding built for the Northwest coast.
Building near the water triggers strict environmental protections and Shoreline Master Program rules. Our local experts handle all critical area permitting, ensuring your waterfront addition or deck is fully compliant and legally sound.
We modernize aging golf-course and suburban properties. Our team replaces heavy, dark wood tones and compartmentalized rooms with bright, open-concept spaces featuring custom millwork and luxury modern finishes.
What We Do
From updating a secluded woodland retreat to executing a multi-million dollar structural addition on the waterfront, our licensed craftsmen handle every phase of your project.
Create a kitchen worthy of hosting. We design coastal-inspired luxury culinary spaces with custom frameless cabinetry, high-end hidden appliances, and expansive quartz islands perfect for entertaining.
Transform your master bath into a private spa. We install curbless walk-in wet rooms, freestanding soaking tubs, floating vanities, and programmable heated tile floors to ward off the damp coastal chill.
Need more space without sacrificing your view? We build seamless room additions, extended master suites, and second-story pop-ups that perfectly integrate with your home's original maritime or modern architecture.
Refresh your daily living experience. We perform complete interior overhauls, including load-bearing wall removals, custom mudrooms for wet weather gear, smart LED lighting, and modern fireplace modernization.
Shield your home against the elements. We upgrade exteriors with premium James Hardie siding, architectural metal paneling, rot-resistant trim, and highly efficient window packages designed for coastal exposure.
Keep your home completely dry year-round. Our roofing division installs high-performance architectural composite shingles and wind-resistant standing-seam metal roofs backed by premium weather warranties.
Achieve crisp, flawless surfaces. We deliver perfect Level-5 drywall finishing and apply premium, moisture-resistant, low-VOC paints engineered to hold their color through humid marine winters.
Maximize your outdoor coastal lifestyle. We design and build sprawling multi-level composite decks (like Trex), elegant stone patios, and glass-railed balconies to preserve your unhindered water views.
Ensure a rock-solid foundation. From heavily engineered retaining walls crucial for sloped waterfront lots to custom stamped concrete driveways, our structural concrete work blends immense strength with clean design.
Upgrade your foundation with resilient luxury finishes. We install wide-plank European oak, premium engineered hardwoods, and ultra-durable, waterproof luxury vinyl plank (LVP), expertly leveled for a silent step.
Capitalize on your property's potential. We design and construct beautiful Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) that function as standalone guest houses, rental income properties, or private home offices.
Unlock the hidden potential of your lower level. We provide complete basement waterproofing and build out vibrant daylight living areas, home theaters, or fully equipped at-home fitness centers.
Planning a total teardown or building on a vacant lot? Our custom home-building division manages everything from challenging site prep on hillside slopes to constructing your bespoke architectural masterpiece.

Questions & Answers
Costs vary widely based on your home’s age, proximity to the water, and chosen materials. A high-end kitchen remodel typically ranges from $45,000 to $90,000+, while multi-room additions or shoreline deck extensions require a custom quote based on structural engineering needs. We provide a highly detailed, line-by-line breakdown before you sign anything.
Yes. If your property is within 200 feet of the shoreline, your project may be subject to the Shoreline Master Program and critical area reviews. These regulations protect the marine ecosystem and dictate lot coverage and setbacks. Our team manages this complex environmental permitting process for you.
Cosmetic updates like replacing flooring or standard cabinets do not require permits. However, if your project involves moving plumbing or electrical lines, making structural wall changes, or building a deck over 30 inches high, a City of Gig Harbor or Pierce County permit is legally required.
Absolutely. Vertical expansions are a highly popular way to gain space and capture views of the Sound without increasing your ground-level footprint. We handle the architectural planning and the necessary structural engineering to ensure your existing foundation safely supports the new addition.
Review times depend on the city or county’s current workload and your project’s complexity. Straightforward interior renovations usually take 4 to 6 weeks for approval, while major additions or shoreline projects may take several months due to environmental reviews. We proactively manage the submittals to prevent unnecessary delays.
For localized projects like a kitchen or master bathroom, yes. We utilize heavy-duty plastic barriers and HEPA air scrubbers to isolate dust and noise from the rest of your home. However, for whole-house structural remodels or major second-story additions, we advise finding temporary accommodation for your family’s comfort and safety.
