A home addition can give you the extra room you’re missing without asking you to give up a house, neighborhood, and location that already work for you. Home additions in Folsom can take the form of a new bedroom, family room, home office, or a larger expansion that changes how the house functions. Empire Builders keeps the addition moving as one coordinated construction project, from planning through the finished space. Call (916) 237-1478 to schedule an obligation-free initial 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Custom room additions, including bedrooms, family rooms, home offices, primary suites, bathrooms, and expanded living areas
Second-story additions that add square footage without requiring a larger footprint on the property
Attached and detached ADUs, garage conversions, and additions planned with future ADU use in mind
Foundations, framing, structural connections, roofing, siding, windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and other building systems
Design-build planning, architectural plans, permits, project management, flooring, cabinetry, cabinets, countertops, lighting, fixtures, paint, and finish work
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
