See Your Project,
Before You Build
When committing yourself to a building project it is vital that the client and builder have a shared vision. This is much easier to accomplish when you have a visual representation of what the finished product will look like. It has been our experience when providing a client with a rendering of their dream deck for example, that the final design has gone through at least two minor-major changes before the design satisfies all of the client’s needs. There is a very good reason for this. It is hard to visualize in the mind the scale of a design and how all of the components of the design will work together.
We are committed to providing our clients with a clear picture of their concept and work diligently to collaboratively improve upon original designs, until we have satisfied all of our client’s needs and concerns. This improves the level of confidence in our clients allowing them to move forward with their construction projects knowing that they have been able to effectively communicate what they expect of us and set the foundation for a trust-based working relationship.

Tyger Roy has been my go-to for my home remodeling needs. He has replaced a bathtub for me, which necessitated completely redoing 2 of my bathroom walls. His tile work is excellent, and his drywall patches blend seamlessly with the rest of the walls. He also repaired my super steep deteriorating driveway. He matched the look to my existing concrete, and his repair eliminated the scraping that low cars were experiencing as they left my place. His biggest job for me was my deck - he and I went through several layout options before we got to the right design. He does all of the computer work himself. And when we had a setback due to the proximity of the septic tank to the deck, he worked with the county and me until a realistic solution was reached. He explained the details about every possible decision so that I would end up with exactly the deck I wanted. When I wondered if my visions were lining up to my budget, he was willing to politely reality check me - if I asked him to. Whenever it became clear that I wasn't understanding some detail of the process, he was happy to explain, draw out, or show me the concepts to be sure I completely understood them. And he never guesses on any of his work - from how to line up the railing gridlines, to where to set up his staining station, to where he could create a scrap pile - he always checks in. Which meant every detail of the deck was perfect, that I always knew which days were painting days, and no flower bulbs were buried by building materials. He tidies up after himself and leaves behind beautiful work. Tyger doesn't cut corners, and his attention to detail comes through on every one of his projects. I hear horror stories of construction projects gone wrong from others - I never once worried that I would get a sub-par result from Tyger. His work ethic and desire for perfection are evident in his projects, which exemplify excellence.

Tyger Roy (Owner) is the best contractor I’ve ever dealt with. He has worked for me for years now. He knows what he’s doing. He shows up on time when he tells you he’ll be there and if by chance something causes him to be delayed, he contacts you asap. When he starts a job, he stays on it until it’s done. He is honest and extremely hard working. When he has a question - he asks you! He doesn’t guess what you want, so you don’t end up with something you didn’t want. He started his trade as a cabinet maker which requires the highest accuracy and attention to detail and he has carried that ethic into everything he does. He is quick too. It takes real skill to work quick and well. I can highly recommend Empire Construction and Tyger Roy. 👍🏻

Tyger Roy is an exceptional contractor, who has worked on many projects for me. I have hired him for multiple jobs including foundation work, a stair rebuild, a kitchen remodel, the building of a pump hose and most recently and deck rebuild in Truckee CA. I really appreciated his dedication when the deck rebuild proved to be far more far more challenging than originally expected due to the extensive requirements by the town of Truckee. Tyger took care of everything and was professional throughout every hurdle the town put him through. I have found Tyger to be courteous, and hard working with a wealth of knowledge that makes him my go to guy for all my projects. I highly recommend him.

Tyger is the an excellent contractor with a broad scope of knowledge. He works with integrity and is a prompt communicator. He has done incredible work at The National Exchange Hotel assisting us in the kitchen, bar, guest rooms and common areas. He is always our first phone call anytime our historic property presents its challenges.

Quality and Precision Are Paramount
Tolerances are everything. The difference between a good product and a great product are the tolerances. We take pride in our work, just as you take pride in your home. It is our mission as a company and craftsmen to leave a job with a feeling of satisfaction and pride knowing that we served our clients well and took the project to completion hitting all of those details that others miss.
My first mentor taught me that by putting in small details all over the course of a project that are not necessary and skipped (or not even considered) by others will result in a superior product. He said that even if the client or others not directly involved in the project cannot specifically tell you why your product is better, they will know it is better because they are subconsciously picking up on those fine details that you scrutinize throughout a project.
It takes a trained eye to pick up on the small differences, but they make a substantial impact on people when they see the finished product. Anyone can learn to be a contractor and to build, but it is the confluence of knowledge and passion that is required to create something truly beautiful and lasting. It is the difference between a skill and a craft.
Let us apply our passion to your projects and let’s see what we can create!
