Expert Home Remodeling and Repair
About South Sound Design Build
Owners Jake Larrow and Nic Duncan founded South Sound Design Build in January 2026. They had been working together as separate business entities (PBJ Construction and Rainier Renovation and Repair) for over a decade in the South Puget Sound region. They have committed to join forces and merge into one single full service design-build and home repair company. From raw land aquisition through turnkey finish, we are your one-stop dream home experts.

Our Quality Guarantee
We believe a remodel should be built to last and completed with care. Every project we take on is approached with attention to detail, quality materials, and craftsmanship we’re proud to stand behind. From the first measurement to the final walkthrough, our goal is simple: deliver work that meets our standards and exceeds your expectations. If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right—because your home deserves nothing less.
At South Sound Design Build, we believe the best homes are built through craftsmanship, trust, and attention to detail. Our
company was founded on the idea that homeowners deserve a contractor who treats their home with the same care and
respect they would their own.
We began with a simple mission: provide high-quality renovation and repair work without the
frustration that so many homeowners experience during construction projects. Too often, people are left dealing with poor
communication, rushed workmanship, or projects that don’t live up to expectations. We set out to build a company that does things differently—where reliability, transparency, and pride in the work come first.
Our team specializes in residential remodeling and home improvement projects throughout the South Puget Sound area. From kitchen and bathroom remodels to additions, interior upgrades, and exterior improvements, we help homeowners transform their spaces while improving the long-term function and value of their homes. Whether the project is a small repair or a full renovation, we approach every job with the same commitment to quality and detail.
What truly sets us apart is our approach to craftsmanship. We believe great work comes from taking the time to do things right—using quality materials, proven building methods, and thoughtful planning. Just as important, we believe communication is key. Our goal is to make the renovation process straightforward and stress-free, keeping homeowners informed and involved from start to finish.
At the end of the day, our work isn’t just about construction—it’s about helping people create spaces where their families live, grow, and make memories. That responsibility is something we take seriously, and it’s why we stand behind every project we complete.
