Free Estimate Range

See your numbers before
anyone comes to your house.

Most contractors make you sit through an in-home appointment before they will tell you what anything costs. We do it the other way around. Tell us about your project online and we will send you a written estimate range within 2 business days. If the number works, book your free design consultation at the property. If it does not, you have not lost an evening to a sales pitch.

ADU or Garage Conversion

Detached, attached, above-garage, junior, or a garage conversion. Not sure which fits your lot? That is one of the questions we answer.

Bathroom Remodel

Hall bath, guest bath, or primary suite. Full gut or finishes only.

Our Story

A heritage of excellence,
built into every project.

EMR Heritage Build Co. was built on a simple standard: run every project the way we'd want one run in our own home. That means daily communication so you're never left wondering what's happening, a job site kept clean and organized from day one, and trade partners who are vetted before they ever set foot on your property.

We partner closely with our clients to understand their vision, then execute it with discipline. No shortcuts. No surprises.

EMR Heritage Build Co. stands for two things: high quality building and an exceptional customer experience. Not one at the expense of the other. Behind the company is over 15 years of trade experience, a team of licensed trade partners held to a single standard, and a way of working that puts everything in writing before you commit to anything. Every claim on this page is one you can check.

We don't just build structures, we build the places where life happens.
Carlos Vasquez · Owner, EMR Heritage Build Co.
Owner-Led, Team-Built
Ownership stays involved from first walkthrough to final punch list. You are never handed off to a salesperson who disappears after the contract.
15+ Years of Trade Experience
Based in the northeast San Fernando Valley, with a team that knows the cities and how their building departments work.
Everything in Writing
Itemized scope, signed change orders, everything documented. No verbal deals.

The EMR Standard

A professional GC experience,
not just a handyman.

Communication

A written update every Tuesday and Friday, with photos. You will never have to call and ask what happened this week.

Cleanliness

A tidy, organized job site. The number one source of referrals from neighbors who see it every day.

Licensed Trade Partners

We only work with licensed, insured trades. Every license is verified active and every insurance certificate is on file before anyone starts work on your property.

What We Do

What we build.

Five things we do well, rather than a list of everything a license allows.

01
ADUs & Garage Conversions

Detached ADUs, attached units, junior ADUs, and garage conversions across the Valley. We handle feasibility, plans, the local permit path, and the build. Start with a free estimate range: whether your lot qualifies, what it realistically costs, and what the 2026 permit path looks like.

Your estimate range is free. Design, engineering, plans, and permit work are quoted separately if you move forward.

02
Bathroom Remodeling

Full bathroom remodels, from a hall bath to a primary suite. An itemized written scope, licensed plumbers and electricians, and a written schedule before demolition starts.

03
Kitchen Remodeling

Layout changes, cabinetry, counters, electrical, and plumbing coordinated under one contract. You get an itemized scope with allowances, so you know what is included before anything is demolished.

04
Home Additions

Room additions and expansions on existing homes. Structural, permits, and every trade coordinated by one licensed GC who is on site.

Tell us about your addition →

05
General Contracting

Full project oversight from permit to punch list, with every trade coordinated under one contract and one point of accountability. If your project does not fit neatly into the categories above, tell us what you are trying to do and we will put together a plan for it.

How We Work

Our Process

1
Free Design Consultation & Site Visit

We meet at your home, listen to your vision, assess the space, and ask the right questions before anything else. The consultation is free.

2
Your Written Scope Within 48 Hours

You get a clear, itemized written scope within 48 hours of the site visit. Not a lump sum, not a number scribbled on a business card. We walk through it together, line by line, before anything is signed.

3
Project Planning & Scheduling

We build a realistic schedule, confirm trade partners, pull permits, and order long-lead materials before breaking ground.

4
Construction & Ongoing Communication

A written update every Tuesday and Friday with photos, and an open line of communication throughout every phase of your build.

5
Final Walkthrough & Completion

We don't consider a project done until you do. Punch list completed, warranties delivered, fully satisfied.

6
Warranty & Follow-Up

You receive a written one-year workmanship warranty from substantial completion, with manufacturer warranties passed through and your statutory rights preserved. If something is wrong, you tell us in writing and we fix it at no cost.

Your price changes only when you approve a change in writing. Every change order is signed before the work happens.

Financing

Financing available through Acorn Finance (O.A.C.)

Most homeowners do not pay for a remodel out of savings. EMR Heritage Build Co. works with Acorn Finance, an independent financing marketplace, so you can compare real options before you commit to a project. You apply directly with the lender. We are not a lender, we do not take applications, and we do not see your credit information.

Financing is offered through Acorn Finance's lending partners and is subject to credit approval. Loan terms, rates, and amounts vary by lender and applicant. EMR Heritage Build Co. is not a lender, broker, or financial advisor.

Soft Credit Check to Prequalify
Checking your rate with Acorn uses a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score.
Compare Offers in One Place
Acorn shows offers from a network of lenders. You choose, or you choose none. These are options, not requirements.
Know Your Real Number First
Get your written estimate range and itemized scope from us before you apply for anything.
