Home Improvement & Construction Services in Amelia, Ohio
Empire Home Solutions builds decks, roofs, basements, gutters, siding, and concrete projects for homeowners throughout Amelia, Ohio. Here’s a local detail that shapes every project: as a small village, Amelia doesn’t run a large in-house planning department — it contracts its planning and zoning review to an outside civil engineering firm. So a “smooth” application here means a complete, accurate submission the first time, because corrections cost an extra round of outside review rather than a quick same-day fix. Because we know Amelia’s specific application types cold, we prepare each one right from the start. As a result, every Amelia project moves cleanly through review and carries our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

Signs Your Amelia Home Needs Attention
Some Amelia projects are driven by the home; others by the Village’s process. Here’s when to call.
- You’re planning an accessory building. Amelia requires its own dedicated zoning application for accessory structures, distinct from a standard building permit.
- You’re adding a swimming pool. The Village has a separate Swimming Pool Zoning Permit application, apart from other project types.
- Your home sits on an established Amelia street. Original decking, siding, or gutters may be reaching the age where replacement outperforms another repair.
- Your project touches a public right-of-way. Amelia has a specific Construction in Right-of-Way application that’s easy to overlook until it delays you.
- Your basement or crawlspace shows moisture. Common in some older housing stock along the OH-125 corridor.
- You want it submitted right the first time. Since review runs through an outside engineering consultant, a complete application avoids back-and-forth delays.
Recognize any of these? We handle both the construction and the paperwork behind it.
Our Process for Amelia Projects
We plan every Amelia project around the Village’s outside-review process. Here is how it runs.
1. Site Consultation
First, we assess your property and identify which Amelia application type your project falls under — accessory building, pool, right-of-way, or standard construction.
2. Complete Zoning Application Submittal
Next, because Amelia’s review is handled by an outside engineering consultant rather than in-house staff, we submit complete, accurate applications the first time. Consequently, you avoid the delays that come from correction rounds.
3. Design & Material Selection
Then we scope the design to your property and Amelia’s specific zoning requirements.
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 inspections as your specific Amelia project requires.
Decks & Patios
Roofing
Amelia’s established homes along the OH-125 corridor mean many roofs are reaching similar replacement timelines together. We handle repair replacement, and installation to match.
Basement Finishing & Remodeling
Older housing stock in parts of Amelia sometimes has basement conditions that differ from newer Clermont County construction. We finish and waterproof each property on its own assessment.
Gutters & Siding
Original gutter and siding on Amelia’s older homes often benefits from an upgrade to better-performing modern materials. We handle siding and seamless gutters
Concrete
Home Additions & Remodeling
When an Amelia home needs more space rather than just an update, we build home additions and manage full remodels as your single general contractor. Because additions often trigger Amelia’s accessory-structure or setback review, we identify which application applies and prepare it correctly from the design stage. As a result, the project clears the Village’s outside review without the delays a missed form causes.

Amelia FAQs
Does Amelia have its own building department, or does someone else handle it?
Amelia is a small village that contracts its planning and zoning review to an outside civil engineering firm rather than maintaining a large in-house department. That makes submitting a complete, accurate application on the first try more important, since corrections take an extra round of outside review.
Do I need a specific permit for an accessory building in Amelia?
Yes. Amelia has a dedicated Accessory Building Zoning Permit application, separate from other project types like swimming pools or right-of-way construction.
What if my project involves work near a public right-of-way in Amelia?
Amelia requires a separate Construction in Right-of-Way application for projects affecting that space. It’s worth identifying early, since it’s easy to overlook when your project is focused mainly on your own property.
What kinds of projects do you handle in Amelia?
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 Amelia projects end to end.
Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
Yes. We’re fully insured and bonded, hold an A+ BBB rating, and prepare the correct Amelia application for every project.
