Accessory Dwelling Units
ADU Construction
Building an ADU in El Dorado County requires strict adherence to zoning, setbacks, and structural load codes.

From the foundation to the roof trusses, our ADUs are built with precision, passing framing inspections on the first run.

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.

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.
