Waterfront Homes on Wollochet, Horsehead & Henderson Bay
Building on the bays around Gig Harbor.
The bays around Gig Harbor hold some of the most sought-after waterfront in the South Sound, and many of the homes on them are ready to be replaced or reimagined. Fox & Dahlia Homes builds new waterfront homes and handles teardown-rebuilds on these shorelines, from the first site review to the final walkthrough.
Shoreline Rules Shape the House
Building near the water means shoreline setbacks, possible critical-area review and limits on what can change at the water's edge. We sort out what your lot allows before design starts, so the plan fits the rules instead of fighting them.
On an older bay home, the right answer isn't always a full rebuild. We look at the existing structure, the foundation and the site, and give you a straight comparison of remodel, addition and new build.
Designed Around the Water
Views, light, decks, and how the house steps down to the shoreline all get planned together, with materials chosen to hold up to marine weather.
Our design-build team handles shoreline review, design, permitting and construction as one group, with Joshua Renich in the field from start to finish. You get one point of contact and a schedule you can plan around.
Common Questions About Building on the Bays
What waterfront owners on Wollochet, Horsehead and Henderson Bay ask us most.
Rebuild in the same footprint?
Sometimes. Replacement rules depend on the parcel and current shoreline regulations, which we review with you first.
Docks and bulkheads?
We coordinate them as part of the project. Work at or below the waterline involves separate state and federal permits.
How long does it take?
It depends on permitting and size. We give you a realistic schedule after the site review, before you commit.
Remodel instead of rebuild?
Sometimes that's the better call. We compare remodel, addition and new build on cost, schedule and what each gets you.
