Remodeling, additions & ADUs in Placerville, CA

Placerville — the old "Hangtown" — is the El Dorado County seat and one of the foothills' most historic towns, with a protected Main Street district and a wide mix of older in-town homes and rural acreage stretching toward Apple Hill. That split, historic downtown on one side and rural parcels on the other, defines the work here.

Building in Placerville

In town, much of our Placerville work is sensitive renovation of older homes: updating systems and layouts while preserving the details that give these houses their value. On the rural properties surrounding Placerville, the demand shifts toward home additions, shop and outbuilding construction, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that add rental or multi-generational space.

Placerville's foothill elevation and forested, fire-prone surroundings shape the construction just as they do across the county — defensible space, ember-resistant detailing, and drainage on sloped lots all factor into how we build here.

What Placerville Projects Take Into Account

Local knowledge from ~1,860 ft elevation to the permit counter.

Permitting

Projects go through the City of Placerville or El Dorado County depending on location. We manage plans, submittals, and inspections for both, including the extra review historic-district properties can require.

ADUs on rural lots

California's ADU rules make added dwelling space more attainable than ever. We design and build ADUs around each property's setbacks, access, and well/septic systems.

Historic renovation

Careful updates to older Placerville homes — matching trim and profiles and respecting the character of the original build.

Fire-prone terrain

Forested foothill parcels call for defensible-space planning and ember-resistant construction on additions and outbuildings.
