Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Services for Citrus Heights Homes
We handle every part of a kitchen or bathroom remodel in-house, so your remodeling project in Citrus Heights stays with one team from demolition to the final walkthrough. Each of the services below is built around how your family actually cooks, bathes, gathers and lives in your space.
Full Kitchen Remodels (demo through final inspection)
A full kitchen renovation with us runs from demolition through the final city inspection under a single contract. We coordinate framing, electrical work, plumbing and finish trades ourselves, and in a city where roughly 60% of homes predate 1978, we check wiring and plumbing before we open walls. Proper electrical capacity matters for today’s appliances, so we confirm your panel can carry the load you want, and we plan lighting layouts that brighten work zones and the room as a whole. Whether you want a few targeted upgrades or a full remodel, you work with the same team the entire way.
DreamLine Custom Cabinetry & Cabinet Refacing
Cabinets are the biggest visual and budget decision in most kitchens, generally 30% to 40% of a kitchen remodeling budget. Our DreamLine Custom Cabinetry is made in America and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, built in our own shop and fitted to your layout. If your boxes are solid, cabinet refacing is a cost effective way to get a new look for less, and it typically finishes in under a week. Either path keeps the cost of your cabinets predictable from the start.
Countertops & Sinks (Quartz, Cambria, Silestone, Dekton, Granite)
We fabricate counters in our own stone shop, cutting Quartz, Cambria, Silestone, Dekton, Granite and natural stone to your exact kitchen. Quartz gives you a cool-to-the-touch surface that stands up to daily cooking. We handle sink cutouts and faucet placement as part of the same fabrication, so your sink sits flush and clean. A fresh backsplash ties the counters and cabinets together, and we fit your dishwasher and other appliances so everything lines up. Selecting durable materials is important for a kitchen that takes heavy use and the temperature swings of a Citrus Heights summer.
Bathroom Updates for Citrus Heights Homes
We remodel bathrooms across Citrus Heights with the same in-house accountability. A bathroom remodel with us covers new cabinets, counters, tile walls, flooring, lighting and fixtures, along with walk-in tub and shower conversions. Older homes here often hide water damage behind tile and around the tub, so we open walls carefully, correct the source, and rebuild with materials that resist moisture. Bathroom updates in a modest footprint reward smart storage and good lighting, and we design for both so the room is a place to rest at the end of an everyday schedule.
Flooring & Tile Installation
Our flooring installation covers hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl plank and tile, including RIVA Spain and Cortona Maxx, matched to your room’s traffic and style. Flooring ties the remodel together and holds up to the foot traffic a working kitchen or busy bathroom sees every day.
Opening Up Closed Layouts
A careful wall removal can transform a closed 1970s kitchen into an open space connected to dining and living areas. Many kitchens around the Sunrise and Birdcage area, developed largely in the 1970s and 1980s, were built compartmentalized, and widening a doorway or taking out a partition changes how the whole floor feels. We also handle ventilation, and a high-CFM ducted range hood keeps indoor air quality livable through hot summers.
Why Citrus Heights Homeowners Choose Us
You get one in-house team that never disappears mid-project. We design, manufacture cabinets, fabricate stone, pull permits and install under one roof, so there is no vanishing subcontractor and no second contractor to chase down when something needs finishing.
That accountability is backed by real credentials. We have been family-owned since 2001, served 19,000+ homeowners, hold CSLB License #853669, and stand behind every remodel with a 24-month labor warranty plus a limited lifetime warranty on DreamLine cabinetry. We are EPA Lead-Safe Certified and A+ BBB Accredited. A major renovation should not feel stressful, and our single-team model is how we keep it from becoming that.
We also know the local process. Contractors must hold a valid Citrus Heights business license before the city will issue a building permit, and the City of Citrus Heights Building & Safety Division, not the county, reviews plans, issues permits and inspects work inside city limits. We manage timelines, budgets and trade coordination, flag problems before construction starts, and keep your renovation compliant with current codes. Before you hire anyone, get multiple itemized estimates so you can compare scope and cost honestly.
When you want to see materials in person, our 20,000-square-foot Grand Kitchen and Bath Showroom lets you touch cabinet doors, stone slabs and flooring before you commit.
How Your Citrus Heights Project Works
Your remodel follows a clear path from first call to finished job, with no guessing at any stage.
- Free in-home consultation and showroom selections. We measure your space, learn how you use it, and help you choose cabinets, counters and flooring in our showroom.
- Design and written scope. You get a design and a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anything begins. We assess older-home conditions here, because homes from the city’s dominant building era often hide outdated wiring, plumbing or hidden water damage.
- City permit submission. We submit through the city’s online Citizen Access Portal, since Citrus Heights processes all building permits online rather than at a county counter.
- In-house build and trade coordination. Our own crews handle demolition through finish, coordinating every trade. Most kitchen remodels take roughly 5 to 8 weeks of active work, though your schedule depends on scope, permit review and material lead times.
- Inspections and final walkthrough. Depending on your scope, inspections may include rough framing, rough electrical, rough plumbing, drywall and a final. We walk the final result with you so you sign off on a kitchen that matches the plan. Requests we submit by 4 p.m. can generally be scheduled for the next business day.
If demolition uncovers a surprise, we document it and bring you a clear change order before we proceed. You always approve added work in writing.
Remodeling in Citrus Heights: Neighborhoods, Homes & Permits We Know
We remodel kitchens and bathrooms across every part of Citrus Heights, and we know what the local housing stock actually demands. Official Citrus Heights neighborhoods include Northwest, Rusch Park, Arcade Creek, Park Oaks, Sunrise Ranch, Sylvan/Old Auburn Road and Birdcage Heights. We orient by the corridors residents use every day: Auburn Boulevard, Old Auburn Road, Sunrise Boulevard, Greenback Lane, Antelope Road, Madison Avenue, San Juan Avenue and Fair Oaks Boulevard. Families near Rusch Park or the Sunrise Mall shopping district call us for the same in-house accountability.
Around the historic core, Sylvan Corners marks where Auburn Boulevard, Old Auburn Road and Sylvan Road meet, and older Citrus Heights homes there often carry irregular additions that deserve a careful look before any cabinet swap. The majority of local housing was built from 1960 through 1979, about 60% before the 1978 lead-paint cutoff, which is why our EPA Lead-Safe Certification matters when we disturb painted surfaces. Many Citrus Heights homes we see were built with closed-off layouts that benefit from thoughtful layout changes.
Roughly 68% of homes here are single-family, and about 65% have two or three bedrooms, so smart storage and open layouts carry real weight in modest footprints. With a 60.7% owner-occupied rate, most of our clients are improving a home they plan to keep and maintain for years.
On the permit side, the Citrus Heights Building & Safety Division at 6360 Fountain Square Drive handles your project. One local rule we watch closely: when 50% or more of a dwelling’s combined interior and exterior wall length is removed or replaced within a year, the city treats the project as new construction and requires the whole building to meet current codes. That changes how we plan ambitious layout changes to interior walls. Parts of central and eastern Citrus Heights also have rolling terrain draining toward Arcade Creek, Cripple Creek and San Juan Creek, which matters if your project expands the footprint. Like the surrounding cities in the Sacramento area, the Citrus Heights area blends decades-old homes with newer pockets, and we tailor each remodel to the house in front of us.
Our team serves Citrus Heights CA from our nearby Sacramento-area headquarters and showroom.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Citrus Heights?
Yes, for most kitchen remodels that involve electrical, plumbing or wall changes, since the city lists kitchen and bathroom remodels as permit-required projects. Cosmetic swaps usually do not need one, and replacing cabinets without any electrical or plumbing work is exempt. Permits are issued by the City of Citrus Heights Building & Safety Division through its online Citizen Access Portal.
Does the City of Citrus Heights or Sacramento County issue my kitchen permit?
The City of Citrus Heights Building & Safety Division issues your permit, not Sacramento County, for any property inside city limits. That same division reviews your plans, issues the permit and conducts the inspections. We submit and manage all of it for you.
How long does Citrus Heights take to approve kitchen-remodel plans?
The city generally targets 10 working days for a first plan review and five working days for a resubmittal. That approval window comes before material lead times and active construction. Most kitchen remodels then take about 4 to 8 weeks to build, depending on scope.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Citrus Heights?
Accurate pricing starts with a free in-home measure, your material selections and a written scope, not a generic range. A mid-range kitchen remodel commonly runs $19,000 to $36,000, with cabinets generally taking 30% to 40% of the budget. City permit fees scale with approved construction valuation, and the 2026 schedule adds a 65% plan-check fee when applicable, a 6% General Plan Update Fee and a 4% Technology Fee. Here is how the typical ranges compare at a glance:
| Project type | Typical cost range | Typical active build time | What’s included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-range kitchen remodel | $19,000 to $36,000 | 4 to 8 weeks | Cabinets (30% to 40% of budget), countertops, flooring, trade work, permits |
| Cabinet refacing | Cost-effective alternative to full cabinet replacement | Under 1 week | New door and drawer fronts over solid existing boxes |
| Standard bathroom remodel | $12,000 to $28,000 | 2 to 4 weeks | Plumbing, fixtures, tile walls, lighting, ventilation, water-damage repair |
Can you remove a wall in a 1970s Citrus Heights house?
Yes, but we check structural conditions first and watch the city’s 50% wall-length rule, since most homes here were built from 1960 through 1979. Taking out the right walls can turn a closed kitchen into an open space. When 50% or more of the combined wall length is removed within a year, the city treats the project as new construction and requires full current-code compliance, so we plan accordingly.
Do you also handle a bathroom remodel and serve my area?
Yes, we remodel kitchens and bathrooms across Citrus Heights and the greater Sacramento area, including searches for kitchen remodeling near me from Sunrise Ranch, Sylvan Corners and every other neighborhood. A standard bathroom remodel runs roughly $12,000 to $28,000 and usually finishes in 2 to 4 weeks. We handle updated plumbing, new fixtures, tile walls, lighting, ventilation, low-flow fixtures and ADA-compliant bathroom updates, and we repair any water damage we find along the way.
