Construction Built for Return on Investment
Folsom City Carpentry is the construction financial advisor Sacramento investors have been missing — every recommendation weighed against resale value and rental income, not just what looks good.
The Philosophy
We Think Like an Investor, Because We Work Like One
Most contractors price a job and move on. We built Folsom City Carpentry around a different question: does this line item make the property worth more, rent for more, or both? If a finish, layout choice, or material upgrade doesn't pencil out, we'll tell you — even if it costs us the upsell.
That's what "construction financial advisor" means in practice: a general contractor who treats your renovation budget the way a good CPA treats your tax return — looking for the highest return on every dollar, not just the highest invoice.
Built for Investors
Services Designed Around the Numbers
Turnkey Investment-Property Renovations
Full-scope renovations on investment properties — BRRRR rehabs, flips, and value-add rentals — delivered turnkey and occupancy-ready so you can list or lease immediately, not months after closing.
Rental ADUs
Detached ADUs and garage conversions built specifically to maximize monthly rental income on Sacramento-area investment properties, with unit configuration decisions driven by comparable rents, not guesswork.
Multi-Unit & Apartment Remodels
Investor-focused renovation services for apartment complexes and multi-family properties — phased construction, tenant coordination, and budget optimization to control vacancy and control cost.
Budgeting & Analysis
Construction Budgeting & Cost Analysis
Before we swing a hammer, we build a scope investors can actually track — required repairs, risk items, and value opportunities, priced as a detailed base scope with clear options and contingencies.

Scope the Property
Required repairs, risk items, and value opportunities — documented, not eyeballed.
- 02
Price the Real Work
A detailed base scope with clear options and contingencies, so there are no surprise change orders eating your margin mid-project.
- 03
Build with Accountability
Permits, trades, materials, and schedule managed through one general contractor — not a patchwork of subcontractors you have to babysit.
- 04
Close It Out
Inspections, punch work, and occupancy-ready turnover — built for resale, built for rent, built for long-term value.

What Our Clients Say
We hired Folsom City Carpentry to build an ADU on our property in El Dorado Hills, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Hunter was professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. He explained the process clearly, stayed on schedule, and handled the project the right way with permits and inspections.
Hunter built a detached garage for us and handled the permits and inspections. He explained everything clearly so we understood why certain structural elements were needed.
Our staircase and deck needed a rebuild and Hunter walked us through what needed reinforcement for safety. The finished structure feels strong and secure.
Common Questions
Investor Questions
Do you work with out-of-area investors?
Yes. A meaningful share of our work is for owners who are not local to the property, which is why we document jobs at every stage — you should be able to see what happened this week without driving to the site.
Can you work from my numbers instead of a finish schedule?
That is how we prefer to scope. Tell us the resale comp or the target rent and we will build the scope backward from it, including telling you where spending more will not return.
Do you subcontract the work out?
We self-perform. That is deliberate: when the crew doing the framing is our crew, there is no gap between what was promised and who shows up, and no third party to point at when something needs correcting.
Can you handle multiple properties at once?
Yes, and most of our repeat clients run more than one at a time. Sequencing several projects is easier when one contractor controls the trades and the calendar rather than coordinating four separate subs per site.
