Accessory Dwelling Units

ADU Construction

Building an ADU in El Dorado County requires strict adherence to zoning, setbacks, and structural load codes. We handle the complex structural framing required for both detached guest houses and attached in-law suites. From the foundation to the roof trusses, our ADUs are built with precision, passing framing inspections on the first run.

Engineered Structures

Custom Outdoor Living

We don’t just build basic decks. DC Custom engineers and frames load-bearing pergolas, massive covered patios, and multi-level outdoor structures. We use heavy timber framing and Simpson Strong-Tie hardware to ensure your outdoor living space is a permanent, structurally integrated extension of your home.

WUI Protection

Fire-Resistant Upgrades

Living in Cameron Park means building smart. We specialize in fire-resistant siding installation and sustainable, eco-friendly framing practices that meet strict California Title 24 energy standards. We harden your home’s exterior envelope against wildfire threats while improving its overall energy efficiency.

Business Build-Outs

Commercial Tenant Improvements

When retail or office spaces need massive layout changes, load-bearing walls must be addressed safely. We specialize in commercial tenant improvements across Cameron Park, handling structural wall removals, heavy beam installations, and full framing overhauls to modernize your commercial property.

From cracked joists and sagging floors to unpermitted load-bearing wall removals from previous owners, we diagnose and repair structural damage. We sister joists, replace carrying beams, and perform seismic retrofitting to bring older homes up to modern code.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle the permitting process for an ADU in Cameron Park?

A structural contractor specializes in the load-bearing elements of a building — foundations, beams, joists, framing, shear walls, and seismic systems. General contractors coordinate overall construction; structural contractors have the specialty knowledge and licensing to diagnose and repair problems that affect a building’s structural integrity and safety.

Can you build custom covered patios that attach to my existing roof?

Absolutely. Attaching a heavy outdoor living structure to an existing roofline requires precise structural framing to avoid overloading your home’s original trusses. We calculate the structural load paths and ensure the tie-in is completely weather-tight and engineered for safety.

What makes your framing fire-resistant?

We utilize materials and methods that comply with California’s strict WUI codes. This includes installing fire-resistant siding, implementing specialized eave and soffit protection, and using specific underlayments that dramatically reduce the risk of structural ignition during a wildfire.

Do you do commercial structural work in Cameron Park?

Yes. We provide commercial tenant improvement services, specializing in structural layout changes, load-bearing wall modifications, and heavy commercial framing for businesses scaling up or rebranding their retail spaces.

About Cameron Park

Cameron Park is a census-designated place (CDP) tucked into the Sierra Nevada foothills of El Dorado County, California roughly 30 miles east of Sacramento, 40 miles southwest of Placerville, and approximately 70 miles from South Lake Tahoe. It sits at an elevation of around 1,200 feet on rolling, tree-covered terrain that gives it a character fundamentally unlike the flat valley suburbs of Sacramento to the west.

With a population of approximately 18,000 to 18,900 residents (U.S. Census 2020 count: 18,881), Cameron Park is not a large city by California standards. What it is, consistently and deliberately, is a well-established, high-income residential community where people choose to live because of the land itself — the topography, the tree cover, the lakes, the quiet pace, and the proximity to mountains that the valley cannot offer.

The community covers approximately 11.3 square miles, nearly all of it land, sitting in the oak woodland and chaparral zone where gray pines, manzanita, redbud, and black oak define the visual character of the landscape in every season.
