What Our Customers Say
My experience with empire builders was good. They are very professional and thorough with their work. I would highly recommend them for any remodels, additions, etc. I included a photo of our new bathroom they built from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a pergola become a complete outdoor living space?
Yes. We can integrate a pergola with patios, outdoor kitchens, lighting, ceiling fans, fire features, screens, and other improvements to create a comfortable and functional outdoor living area.
Can I add adjustable louvers or motorized features?
Yes. We can install adjustable or motorized louvers that provide flexible control over shade, sunlight, ventilation, and rain protection. Lighting, ceiling fans, outlets, and automation can also be incorporated into the design.
Can you create a custom-built pergola that matches my home’s architectural style?
Yes. Our expert team creates custom designs based on your home’s architectural style, available outdoor space, and preferred pergola style. We can build traditional pergolas, modern structures, or innovative designs using wood, aluminum, and mixed materials.
What is the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?
A pergola typically uses an open-beam or adjustable-louver design to provide partial shade while allowing natural light into the outdoor area. A patio cover generally has a solid roof that provides more complete protection from the sun and rain. We offer both pergola construction and patio cover installation.
Can you install a pergola over an existing patio or deck?
Yes. We can evaluate an existing patio or deck to determine whether it has the structural integrity needed to support a new pergola. When upgrades are required, our skilled team can complete the necessary reinforcement or quality patio work before installation.
How do you make pergolas durable and weather-resistant?
We use high-quality materials, proper foundations, protective finishes, and proven construction methods to support durability and weather resistance. Material options such as powder-coated aluminum and properly treated wood can provide long-lasting performance in Sacramento, CA.
Do you build pergolas in West Sacramento and surrounding communities?
Yes. We build backyard pergolas, patio covers, and complete outdoor living spaces in West Sacramento and surrounding Sacramento communities. We begin with an initial consultation to create a design perfectly tailored to your yard, lifestyle, and shade requirements.
