We’re Penhallow Remodeling, led by Trevor Nash, and we work on ranchette homes and horse properties throughout the Wilton area every week. If you’re planning a bathroom upgrade, the number to call is (936) 259-2607. We’ll give you a written price before any tile comes up.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Wilton’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Wilton homeowners call us because we understand what building here actually looks like. Every permit for a Wilton bathroom remodel runs through Sacramento County’s unincorporated review, not a fast city building department. That means fixture-count checks, septic setback confirmations, and inspection scheduling that most Sacramento-area contractors never see. We plan for that timeline from day one, so you don’t get a crew standing around waiting on paperwork.
Trevor Nash sets the standard on every job: a written price before work starts, a real arrival window, background-checked uniformed technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something fails inside that guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That promise isn’t negotiable, and it applies to every Wilton project we take.
Clients around Wilton keep telling us the same thing: they’ve been burned before by a contractor who gave a verbal number, then changed it after demo. We don’t do that. The number on day one is the number on the invoice, and the guarantee is in writing before a single cabinet is pulled.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Wilton
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Wilton usually focuses on a hall bath, guest bath, or a builder-grade second bath that’s still functional but feels dated. The job typically involves replacing the vanity top and faucet, swapping the shower surround, re-setting the toilet, installing new flooring, and refreshing lighting. In Wilton, this runs $5,000 to $12,000 depending on whether you keep the existing cabinet boxes or replace them, and whether any subfloor repair is needed around the shower pan.
What drives cost on a small Wilton bath is the substrate work. Wilton sits on expansive adobe clay that shrinks and swells with the seasons, and builder-grade subfloors on older ranchettes have often moved enough to crack grout and loosen a pan. We check that before we quote, so the number we hand you includes the prep work, not just the pretty finish.
Vanity and Countertop Swaps
Many Wilton homeowners keep a solid builder vanity cabinet and just change the top, sink, and faucet. That runs $800 to $3,000 for a Bathroom Vanity Installation depending on countertop material. We install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz, and those brands carry their own manufacturer warranties alongside ours.
Flooring and Subfloor Repair
Before tile goes down, we look at what’s underneath. On Wilton’s clay, a cracked subfloor or loose backer board will ruin new tile within two seasons. We quote the prep honestly, with specific line items, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Shower Remodel in Wilton
A Shower Remodel in Wilton typically means removing a builder-grade fiberglass or acrylic pan and surround, then rebuilding the shower with a properly prepped base, new waterproofing, and tile or solid-surface walls. Homeowners do this when the original pan has cracked, when grout keeps falling out, or when they want a walk-in shower instead of a tub. In Wilton, a shower replacement runs $3,000 to $8,500, while a full Walk-In Shower Installation with custom tile and a frameless glass enclosure runs $4,500 to $12,000.
The important work here is what you never see. Wilton’s clay soil moves, and a shower pan set on an unleveled or cracked subfloor fails fast. We rebuild the rough-in to code, level the base, and install a proper moisture barrier before the tile goes up.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Wilton runs $3,500 to $10,000. It’s a popular move in the 2000s-era ranchettes off Grant Line Road and around the Cosumnes River parcels, where owners want easier entry and more floor space. The job includes demo of the old tub, drain reconfiguration, pan installation, waterproofing, and new walls. County inspectors check the drain and fixture changes, so we schedule that rough-in inspection early and keep the project moving.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
We install frameless glass shower enclosures in Wilton homes where the shower sits in a corner or alcove. The enclosure is measured after tile is in, so the glass fits precisely. Clear silicone lines, clean mechanical fasteners, and no cheap U-channel brackets.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wilton
We work with material brands that hold up in Wilton’s climate and under Sacramento County’s inspection standards. Kohler and Moen fixtures are our default for shower trims and bath faucets because their cartridges are serviceable and replacement parts stay available for years. For countertops and shower curbs, we lean on Silestone and Caesarstone quartz, which carry manufacturer warranties that layer on top of our own 365-Day Done Right Promise. On jobs where clients need a more structural approach, we coordinate with trade partners experienced with products like Sakrete and Dvele for specific prep and building-science applications. We stock common replacement parts for Wilton jobs so a faucet swap or enclosure adjustment doesn’t mean days of waiting on a parts truck.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Wilton Homes
- Cracked shower pans from clay movement. Wilton’s expansive adobe clay shrinks and swells through wet winters and dry summers, and builder-grade fiberglass pans set directly on slab can crack or flex enough to break the silicone seal. We pull the old pan, level and reinforce the base, then set a new pan or tile base that won’t flex.
- Permit stalls tied to septic and well capacity. Sacramento County reviews fixture counts against the property’s septic system record before signing off on bathroom work. On a ranchette lot, that can slow a project by days or weeks if the system was never updated. We pull that record early and design the fixture plan around it.
- Builder-grade surrounds failing on 2000s-era homes. The 4-inch cultured-marble surround that builders installed in Wilton’s 2000s ranchettes doesn’t handle much movement. Grout cracks, water gets behind it, and the backer board rots. We tear out to the studs, replace the backer, and rebuild with proper waterproofing.
- Homeowners surprised by HOA or architect review. Some newer Wilton developments have architectural committees that need to sign off on changes that alter plumbing locations or visible materials. We help you pull the right approvals before demo so you don’t get a stop-work notice mid-project.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Wilton
It can, if the work changes structural or waterproofing elements covered under the original warranty. In Wilton, many 2010s-era homes still carry partial builder warranties that cover the shower pan, waterproofing, and plumbing rough-in. We keep the scope inside finish-work boundaries where possible, document what was done, and avoid touching structural elements that would trigger a warranty dispute. Call (936) 259-2607 if you want us to look at your warranty terms before you plan the job.
Yes, in most cases. Wilton is unincorporated Sacramento County, so permits run through the county, not a city department. Any work that changes plumbing, electrical, or the shower waterproofing assembly needs a permit and inspection. We pull the permits on your job, and we schedule inspections to match the county’s timeline, not the other way around.
A first upgrade on a builder-grade Wilton bath, replacing the shower surround, vanity top, faucet, and flooring, typically runs $5,000 to $12,000. If you want a walk-in shower with frameless glass, that pushes the scope to $4,500 to $12,000 for the shower work alone. We give you a written price with line items before any demo starts.
Yes. Wilton’s expansive adobe clay moves with seasonal moisture, and that movement can crack grout, split shower pans, and twist subfloor boards over time. We include subfloor inspection and correction in every quote, and we don’t set tile on a substrate that hasn’t been checked. Ignoring that is how you get a failed inspection and cracked tile six months later.
In some newer Wilton subdivisions, yes. Any change to plumbing location, exterior venting, or visible exterior materials may need an architectural review. Interior finish changes like tile, paint, and vanity replacement usually don’t. We check your HOA documents before we start and pull the approvals that are actually needed, so the project doesn’t stall on a committee review.
