Our Process
01
Start With a Consultation
We'll talk about what you're missing from the house, what you'd like to add, and how you expect the new space to be used. We'll also discuss your budget, desired square footage, timeline, and any ideas you already have for the project.
02
Assess the Existing Home
Before defining the addition, we look at the property as it exists today. The foundation, framing, roof, ceiling heights, walls, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, access, and available space can all affect the scope and construction requirements.
03
Establish the Scope and Budget
We'll define the size and layout of the addition, construction requirements, material allowances, and budget. Our aim is to establish the project costs and expectations before detailed planning and construction begin.
04
Develop the Plans
The new space is planned around both your needs and the existing house. Depending on the project, that can include room layouts, windows, doors, roofing, siding, plumbing, electrical, lighting, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and other material choices.
05
Handle Permits and Approvals
Home additions need to meet applicable building codes and require the appropriate permits and inspections. We coordinate the required documentation, plan reviews, engineering, and inspections before construction moves into the next phase.
06
Build and Complete the Addition
Your project manager coordinates the trades and keeps the construction schedule organized. Framing, structural work, roofing, siding, windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, flooring, cabinetry, painting, and other installation work are completed according to the project scope. Before completion, we work through the remaining details and punch list with you.

What Our Customers Say
My experience with empire builders was good. They are very professional and thorough with their work. I would highly recommend them for any remodels, additions, etc. I included a photo of our new bathroom they built from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a home addition include a kitchen or bathroom?
Yes. An addition can include a new bathroom or expand the kitchen as part of a larger home remodeling project. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, for example, we can account for the new layout, cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing, lighting, and appliances. Existing cabinets and other parts of the current kitchen can also be evaluated to determine what should stay, be modified, or be removed.
How much does a home addition cost in Folsom?
The budget depends on the size and type of addition, structural requirements, plumbing, electrical, roofing, material choices, and interior finishes. A bathroom remodeling project or kitchen addition will have different requirements from a straightforward bedroom. We work through the scope with Folsom clients before establishing the investment, so you have a clearer idea of where your money is going.
How long does a home addition take?
The timeline depends on the Folsom project, its size, permitting, materials, inspections, and the amount of structural or utility work involved. Your project manager coordinates the sequence of trades so framing, plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinetry, painting, and other work happen in the right order. Once the scope is established, we’ll give you a more realistic schedule rather than promising a set number of weeks upfront.
Can you handle a larger renovation at the same time?
Yes. An addition can be part of a larger renovation, including whole home renovations, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, or other upgrades to the existing house. If you’re already opening walls, changing layouts, or connecting new construction to the home, it can make sense to address related work during the same project rather than treating everything as a separate job.
How do I know if an addition is the right choice for my home?
That depends on what you’re trying to change and what the property can accommodate. A professional assessment can help determine whether an addition, renovation, or another approach makes the most sense for the space. We’ll look at the existing house, available property, layout, and your plans, then help you understand the options before you commit to the project.
How do you handle changes during construction?
We establish a detailed scope before work begins to reduce unnecessary changes and unexpected costs. If you decide to adjust something once construction is underway, such as the kitchen layout, we’ll discuss the work involved, added cost, and effect on the schedule before moving forward.
Do you serve homeowners outside Folsom?
Yes. Empire Builders serves the Folsom area and nearby Northern California communities, including areas around Sacramento. If you’re considering a home addition or a larger home remodeling project, contact us to discuss your property, budget, and plans.
