FAMILY AND VETERAN-OWNED SINCE 1986

ABOUT GOLDEN EMPIRE USA

Golden Empire USA has been building and remodeling homes since 1986. We're based in Orange County and serve homeowners in Carlsbad and North San Diego County. 2026 is our 40th year, and we're still a family business.

SINCE 1986

OUR STORY

Our California contractor license was first issued on April 25, 1986. Four decades later, we're still the same kind of company: a family business that shows up, does the work right and stands behind it.

Over the years the work has grown from single repairs to kitchens, bathrooms, painting and outdoor living. What hasn't changed is how we treat a job: like it's our own home.
