Home Remodeling & Construction Services in Lebanon, Ohio
Empire Home Solutions builds decks, roofs, basements, gutters, siding, and concrete projects for homeowners throughout Lebanon, the Warren County seat. Here’s the local detail that shapes exterior work here: Lebanon is one of the region’s genuinely historic towns, and its designated historic district — centered on the Broadway corridor and landmarks like the 1803 Golden Lamb — carries design-review expectations that ordinary suburban projects don’t face. So on Lebanon projects, we confirm whether your property falls within a historic or design-review district before finalizing any exterior plan. Because a review requirement discovered mid-project means reworking approved designs, we check it upfront. As a result, your Lebanon project moves cleanly through approval and carries our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

Signs Your Lebanon Home Needs Attention
Some Lebanon projects are driven by the home; others by the town’s historic character and process. Here’s when to call.
- Your home is in or near Lebanon’s historic district. Exterior work on older Broadway-corridor and downtown-adjacent properties may face design-review expectations a standard suburban lot wouldn’t.
- You own one of Lebanon’s older homes. The city’s long history means real historic housing stock, where decking, siding, and roofing need to suit the home’s era, not just the cheapest modern spec.
- You’re planning a deck or accessory structure. Warren County and City of Lebanon setback and permit requirements apply, which we confirm before designing.
- Your home is in a newer Lebanon subdivision. Original builder-grade materials may be reaching the age where replacement outperforms another repair.
- Your basement or crawlspace shows moisture. Conditions vary between Lebanon’s older core and its newer development on different ground.
- You want a contractor who checks historic status first. Rather than one applying a generic suburban approach to a historic town.
Recognize any of these? We handle both the construction and the review process behind it.
Our Process for Lebanon Projects
We plan every Lebanon project around historic character and the correct permit path. Here is how it runs.
1. Site & Historic District Assessment
First, we assess your property and confirm whether it falls within a Lebanon historic or design-review district before finalizing exterior design.
2. Permit & Design-Review Submittal
Next, we route the project correctly — through the City of Lebanon and Warren County for standard permits, plus any historic design review your property requires.
3. Design & Material Selection
Then we scope the design to your home’s era and Lebanon’s requirements, choosing materials that suit a historic or established property.
4. Fixed-Price Quote
After that, you get one number, in writing, before construction begins.
5. Construction & Inspections
Finally, we build to code and schedule City of Lebanon and Warren County inspections as your project requires.
Decks & Patios
Roofing
Lebanon’s mix of genuinely historic homes and newer development means roofing choices should suit the home’s era. For historic-district properties, we plan material and style around design-review expectations, not just a standard permit.
Basement Finishing & Remodeling
Basement conditions differ between Lebanon’s older historic core and its newer subdivisions on different ground. We finish and waterproof each home on its own assessment.
Gutters & Siding
On historic and established Lebanon homes, siding material and profile should complement the home’s character, and we handle seamless gutters built for Ohio’s freeze-thaw and Lebanon’s mature tree canopy.
Concrete
Home Additions & Remodeling
When a Lebanon home needs more space, we build additions and manage full remodels as your single general contractor confirming historic and zoning review before the design is finalized.

Lebanon FAQs
Is my Lebanon home in a historic district?
Lebanon has a genuinely historic downtown centered on the Broadway corridor, and older properties in and around it may fall within a historic or design-review district. Confirming this is a standard part of our site assessment before we finalize any exterior design for a Lebanon project.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Lebanon?
Yes. Decks and most structural exterior projects in Lebanon require a building permit through the City and Warren County, with setback and footing requirements we confirm and design around before submitting.
Does historic-district review add time to a Lebanon project?
It can, since design review is a separate step from a standard building permit. Building it into the timeline from the start — rather than discovering it mid-project — is exactly how we avoid delays and redesigns.
Do you work on Lebanon's older historic homes?
Yes. Lebanon’s long history means real historic housing stock, and we choose decking, siding, and roofing materials that suit an older home’s character while still standing up to Ohio’s freeze-thaw climate.
What kinds of projects do you handle in Lebanon?
Decks and patios, roofing, basement finishing and waterproofing, gutters and siding, and concrete, plus additions and remodels. As a general contractor, we can manage larger multi-trade Lebanon projects end to end.
Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
Yes. We’re fully insured and bonded, hold an A+ BBB rating, and confirm historic status and the correct permit path before any Lebanon project design begins.
