Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Citrus
A full bathroom remodel in Citrus typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000, with walk-in showers running $4,500 to $12,000. Those numbers shift based on the age of your home, whether the county’s Wildland-Urban Interface rules apply to your lot, and how much plumbing or electrical work the walls have been hiding since the 1950s. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we’ve worked enough of these unincorporated Citrus lots to know exactly what the permit desk, the inspector, and the dumpster situation will look like before we hand you a written price. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate on your bathroom remodel.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Citrus’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our Bathroom Remodeling team has spent years navigating LA County Building & Safety in Alhambra, because that’s where Citrus pulls permits. There’s no city hall here. A contractor who’s used to Azusa or Glendora paperwork will stall on a Citrus job, and you’ll pay for the delay. We know the plan-check queue, the inspector’s expectations, and the Chapter 7A requirements that come with WUI-designated parcels, so your remodel doesn’t sit in limbo.
Trevor Nash leads every estimate, and he’s straightforward about what he sees. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when we say they will, and a live person answers our phone around the clock. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every project: if something fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s not a verbal assurance. It’s on the page you sign.
Walk In Shower in Citrus
Walk In Shower installation in Citrus is one of the most common requests we get from homeowners in the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes off Citrus Avenue and Barranca Street. The original tub surrounds in these houses tend to show water damage behind the tile after sixty years, and a curbless walk-in shower gives you a bathroom that’s easier to use and easier to keep dry. A walk-in shower install in Citrus runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on glass, tile, and whether we’re reinforcing the floor.
Shower Pan and Waterproofing Work
The single-wall stucco construction in Citrus homes means moisture control isn’t optional. We install cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile, and a waterproof membrane before a single piece of tile goes up. When the exterior wall is involved, we seal penetrations with Chapter 7A-compliant venting so the county inspector signs off without a rework cycle.
Glass and Fixture Selection
We install Kohler and Moen fixtures alongside frameless glass enclosures that hold up to Citrus’s summer heat without warping. Cambria quartz shower thresholds and vanity tops carry their own lifetime warranty, which runs alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. You’ll see the product names and prices in writing before we pull a permit.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Citrus
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Citrus fall into two groups: those who understand LA County’s unincorporated permitting path and those who assume it works like a neighboring city. We’re the first kind. A full bathroom remodel in Citrus runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the spread comes down to footprint, whether you’re converting a tub to a shower, and how much electrical or plumbing work the inspector will want brought to current code.
Full Bathroom Remodels on Tight Citrus Lots
Most Citrus parcels sit on the old agricultural grid, which means narrow streets and close lot lines. Staging a dumpster or material delivery often requires a county-issued encroachment permit, and we handle that paperwork as part of the estimate. We’ll show you a site plan before demo day so you know where the roll-off sits and how the crew gets in and out without blocking your neighbor’s driveway.
Small Bathroom Updates and Vanity Work
A small bathroom remodel in Citrus runs $5,000 to $12,000, and a vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. These jobs still go through the same county permit desk when plumbing moves, but they’re faster and less disruptive. We’ll tell you honestly if your project is a one-week job or a three-week job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus
We stock and install products from industry-recognized trade brands, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. For Citrus homeowners who care about long-term resale, these names matter. We keep a working inventory of common replacement parts for Citrus jobs and can source specialty hardware through our LA-area supply chain without holding up your schedule. If a fixture fails inside the guarantee period, we handle the warranty claim directly.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Citrus Homes
- County permit confusion: Contractors who try to pull Citrus permits through Azusa or Glendora waste weeks. We file through LA County Building & Safety in Alhambra from day one, which keeps plan check and inspection sign-off on schedule.
- Chapter 7A WUI requirements: Many Citrus parcels sit in the Wildland-Urban Interface, so exterior wall assemblies and vents must meet fire-resistant standards. Ignoring this means a failed inspection and rework that adds $1,500 or more to the job.
- Narrow street staging: The old citrus grid leaves skinny roads with no parking. We secure encroachment permits for dumpsters and material drops before the crew arrives, so the county doesn’t cite you and your neighbors don’t complain.
- Aging plumbing and electrical: Original 1950s slabs and single-wall stucco hide galvanized pipes and overloaded panels. We inspect during rough-in and quote any code-required upgrades in writing before work starts.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus
Do I need a permit to remodel my bathroom in Citrus?
Yes, most bathroom remodels in Citrus require a permit through LA County Building & Safety in Alhambra, not a city hall. Any work that moves plumbing, changes electrical, or alters exterior wall assemblies triggers plan check and inspection. We handle the permit filing, fee schedule, and inspection coordination as part of your written estimate. Call (936) 259-2607 to talk through your project’s specific permit path.
How does the WUI designation affect a bathroom remodel in Citrus?
If your Citrus property sits in the Wildland-Urban Interface, Chapter 7A fire-resistant construction standards apply to exterior walls, vents, and any penetration we make. That means specific materials for exterior vent covers and wall assemblies, and it adds an inspection step. We identify WUI status early in the estimate so you’re not surprised by material costs later. For an exact quote that accounts for your lot’s designation, call (936) 259-2607.
What should I expect for parking and staging on a narrow Citrus lot?
Many Citrus streets follow the old agricultural grid and are too narrow for a roll-off dumpster without blocking traffic. We secure a county encroachment permit for the dumpster and any material deliveries, and we show you the staging plan before demo starts. This keeps the county from citing you and keeps your neighbors from calling the office. Estimates are free, so call (936) 259-2607 to discuss your street’s specifics.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Citrus?
A full bathroom remodel in Citrus runs $9,000 to $28,000, while a small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 to $12,000 and a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. WUI requirements, code-upgrade electrical work, and encroachment permits can move the number within those ranges. We give you a written price before any work begins, and that price holds. Call (936) 259-2607 for a line-item quote.
How do you handle change orders and the punch list on a Citrus bathroom remodel?
If we uncover something behind the walls, like the crumbling 1950s electrical we found on a Citrus Avenue ranch, we stop and bring you a written change order with the added cost before doing the work. The punch list is part of the same process: we walk the finished bathroom with you, note anything that needs attention, and fix it. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers what we install for a full year after sign-off. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule a walkthrough.
Get Your Citrus Bathroom Remodel Priced Today
On a 1950s ranch just off Citrus Avenue in the unincorporated pocket near the foothills, our crew tore out a failing tub surround and found original single-wall stucco with crumbling 1950s electrical. We pulled the permit through LA County Building & Safety in Alhambra, added a dedicated 20-amp circuit during rough-in, and staged the dumpster in the driveway with a county encroachment permit because the street was too narrow for a roll-off. The homeowners got a walk-in shower with Kohler fixtures and a new Cambria vanity top, and we passed inspection sign-off after sealing the exterior penetration with Chapter 7A-compliant venting.
That’s what a Citrus bathroom remodel should look like: county paperwork handled, narrow-lot staging planned, and a written price you can hold us to. Trevor Nash will walk your bathroom with you, explain what’s behind the walls, and put the number on paper before a single tile is pulled. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule your free estimate.
