Home Improvement Contractor in Indian Hill, Ohio
Empire Home Solutions is a family-owned general contractor serving the Village of Indian Hill, Ohio. Indian Hill is unlike anywhere else we work, and we build for it accordingly. Homes here sit on large, wooded lots, carry real architectural pedigree, and fall under one of the region’s most rigorous review processes. So a project here isn’t just construction — it’s construction that has to clear the Village’s standards and match the character of the street. Because we handle the documentation, the review submittals, and the craftsmanship to that level, Indian Hill homeowners get a contractor who works the way their community expects. Every project we complete carries our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

Building to Indian Hill's Standards
Most contractors treat Indian Hill like any other suburb. It isn’t, and that mismatch is where projects go wrong. Here’s what working here actually requires.
- Architectural review awareness. Exterior projects in the Village often face design scrutiny, so plans and materials must be documented and submitted properly, not improvised.
- Large-lot logistics. Long driveways, mature tree canopy, and generous setbacks change how we stage equipment, protect landscaping, and access the work.
- Material quality that matches the home. Builder-grade finishes look out of place on these properties, so we spec materials to the caliber of the house.
- Discretion and cleanliness. We treat the property, the landscaping, and your privacy the way a high-end home deserves throughout the project.
- Long-term thinking. Homeowners here build to keep, so we build for decades, not for a quick flip.
If you’ve been let down by a crew that didn’t grasp any of that, we understand the frustration, and we work differently.
Our Process for Indian Hill Projects
We tailor every project to how Indian Hill actually works — its lots, its Village process, and its standards. Here is how it runs.
1. Site Consultation
First, we walk your property and assess the specifics that shape an Indian Hill project — lot grade, mature tree coverage, driveway access, and existing structures — before we talk scope.
2. Village Zoning & Review Planning
Next, because Indian Hill maintains its own Planning Commission and zoning ordinance, we determine upfront whether your project needs Village-level approval on top of any county requirements. So there are no permit surprises mid-project.
3. Design & Material Selection
Then we scale and style the design to suit larger Indian Hill properties, selecting materials that match the character of your home rather than builder-grade defaults.
4. Fixed-Price Quote
After that, you get one number, in writing, before any work begins. No open-ended estimates.
5. Permit Submittal & Construction
Finally, we submit through the appropriate Village or county process, then build to your approved plan — managing every trade to Indian Hill’s standard from start to finish.
Custom Decks & Outdoor Living
Indian Hill’s large, wooded lots are ideal for ambitious outdoor spaces. We design and build custom decks, multi-level structures, and paver & stone patios, with full 3D design and review-ready drawings.
Roofing
From roof replacement to storm damage repair, we install and repair roofing to spec, matching materials to your home’s architecture rather than defaulting to the cheapest shingle.
Basements
We finish, renovate, and waterproof basements , turning lower levels into home theaters, wine rooms, guest suites, and gyms suited to these homes.
Gutters & Siding
We install and repair seamless gutter and siding, protecting these homes from Ohio’s freeze-thaw and heavy tree-canopy debris.
Concrete & Hardscape
We pour driveways, walkways, and decorative and stamped concrete sized for Indian Hill’s longer approaches and larger footprints.
Additions & Remodeling
We build home additions, manage full remodels , and act as your general contractor on multi-trade projects from design through final review.

Indian Hill Home Improvement FAQs
Do you handle Indian Hill's architectural review requirements?
Yes — the Village of Indian Hill requires a zoning permit for decks, separate from any Hamilton County requirement, with its own fee schedule. We handle this submittal directly as part of your project.
Do you work on large, wooded Indian Hill lots?
Regularly. Long driveways, mature canopy, and wide setbacks are typical here, and we plan equipment staging, tree and landscape protection, and site access around them rather than forcing a suburban approach onto an estate lot.
What kinds of projects do you take on in Indian Hill?
The full range: custom decks and outdoor living, roofing, basement finishing and waterproofing, concrete and hardscape, gutters and siding, home additions, and full remodels. As a general contractor, we can also manage large multi-trade projects end to end.
Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
Yes. We’re fully insured and bonded, hold an A+ BBB rating, and pull all required permits — important on high-value properties where proper coverage and compliance are non-negotiable.
How do I start a project in Indian Hill?
Call us or request a consultation online. We’ll visit the property, discuss your goals and any review requirements, and provide a written, itemized quote before any work begins.
