Most home projects don’t stay in one lane. A deck build turns up rotten siding behind the ledger. A basement finish needs a gutter fix first, because water finds finished drywall like it’s paid to. After 17 years providing residential construction services across Greater Cincinnati, we’ve structured Empire Home Solutions so one accountable team — with over 90 years of combined trade experience — handles the whole picture, permits included. No finger-pointing between subs. One number to call: (513) 773-1567.
Every division below builds to the same standard: materials rated for Southwest Ohio’s freeze-thaw climate, written pricing before work starts, permits pulled and inspections passed, and our lifetime craftsmanship warranty on the finished product. Most contractors cap workmanship coverage at 3 to 5 years; we don’t cap it at all, and that difference shapes how carefully everything below gets built.
Our biggest division — big enough to have its own phone line at 513-513-DECK(3325). We design and build in composite and wood for Ohio’s freeze-thaw climate, with footings set below frost depth per the Residential Code of Ohio on every single build.
Storm season in Clermont and Brown counties keeps our roofing crews honest. We inspect and photograph before we quote, so you see exactly why we’re recommending repair — or why replacement genuinely costs less over the next decade.
Every basement project we take on starts with moisture — because in Southwest Ohio’s clay soil, finishing before waterproofing is how homeowners end up paying for the same basement twice. Design, egress, framing, finishes: all handled in-house.
Seamless gutters sized for Midwest downpours and siding that survives freeze-thaw cycling without buckling — installed and repaired by the same crews, so drainage and cladding actually work together.
Driveways, patios, walkways, and decorative work poured for Ohio winters — correct base prep, correct air-entrained mix, control joints where they belong. That’s the difference between concrete that lasts 30 years here and concrete that spalls by year five.
For the projects that go beyond a single trade — room additions, whole-home remodels, and ground-up custom builds — we act as your licensed general contractor from design through final inspection.
We use proven materials selected for Ohio’s changing seasons, heavy rain, humidity, and freeze-thaw conditions. We focus on lasting performance rather than the cheapest available option.
Every project is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship warranty. If our workmanship fails, we return and make it right.
We may not always be the lowest-priced contractor, but we provide strong value through proper installation, durable materials, clear pricing, and long-term warranty protection.

Our core trades — decks, framing, concrete, and finish work — run on our own crews with 90+ years of combined experience. Where a project needs a specialty license (electrical, HVAC, plumbing), we bring in long-standing local partners we’ve worked with for years, and everything still runs under our supervision and our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
Yes — that’s the point of how we’re built. A basement finish that needs gutter drainage corrected first, a deck build that uncovers siding rot, an addition that needs roofing tied in: one project manager coordinates all of it, one written quote covers it, and one warranty stands behind it.
