AfterRemodeling Company in Citrus Heights, CA
Home remodeling in Citrus Heights typically runs from $9,000 for a small bathroom gut to $130,000 for a full home addition, with most whole-house projects landing between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on scope and materials. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we serve Citrus Heights homeowners from our Sacramento scheduling office with background-checked, uniformed crews who show up in the window we promised and leave a written price before any work starts. If your ranch-style tract home on the city’s aging slab needs more than a cosmetic refresh, call us at (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate that won’t change once demolition begins.
Why Citrus Heights Homes Are Different
Citrus Heights sits on some of the most expansive clay soils in the Sacramento Valley. The Vertisol clays beneath neighborhoods like Sunrise Ranch and Mariposa Avenue swell with winter rains and shrink through 100-degree summers, heaving slabs several inches annually. We’ve opened walls in homes off Greenback Lane to find stair-step cracks running from slab to eave, and we’ve measured door frames so far out of square that a standard pre-hung unit won’t fit without reframing.
The housing stock tells the same story. Most homes went up between 1950 and 1980 as slab-on-grade ranches with original stucco, single-pane aluminum windows, and 100-amp electrical panels that can’t handle modern kitchen loads. In the older tracts near Old Auburn Road, we still find galvanized supply lines and ungrounded outlets. These aren’t flaws to patch around; they’re the defining conditions of remodeling here. Summer concrete pours start before 10 a.m. to beat flash-setting. Every slab addition gets proper soil prep and vapor barriers because we’ve seen what happens when contractors skip that step on Citrus Heights clay. The 1960s subdivisions taught this market hard lessons about shortcuts.
Our Main Citrus Heights Services
Most calls from Citrus Heights homeowners fall into two categories: full-room transformations and structural projects that require permitted, licensed coordination. Here is how we approach the work that matters most here.
General Contractor in Citrus Heights
General contracting in Citrus Heights means managing the interplay between aging infrastructure and modern code. We pull permits through Sacramento County for load-bearing wall removals, electrical service upgrades, and room additions that must account for seasonal slab movement. Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and with a written scope and price already in your hand. Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. For larger projects that span multiple trades, General Contractor in Citrus Heights covers our full process.
Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus Heights
Bathroom remodels here often start with failing cast-iron drains or water damage behind original tile set directly on greenboard. We strip to studs, install cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and rebuild with Kohler or Moen fixtures on a written price that includes every line item. Small bathrooms run $5,000 – $12,000; full master gut renovations reach $9,000 – $28,000. See our full approach at Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus Heights.
Kitchen Remodeling in Citrus Heights
Kitchens in Citrus Heights ranches were built for 1950s cooking, not open-concept living. We remove load-bearing walls with proper beam sizing, upgrade electrical panels to 200-amp service, and install KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry with Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone countertops. A typical kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000; small kitchens start at $9,000. The written price includes cabinet line, countertop material, and all labor before we pull the first cabinet.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Citrus Heights
Yes, Sacramento County requires permits for structural changes, electrical and plumbing work, and any addition over 120 square feet. We pull all permits and schedule inspections as part of our written scope. Homeowners in HOA communities like some Sunrise Ranch tracts may need additional architectural review.
The expansive Vertisol clays beneath Citrus Heights heave seasonally, often requiring soil prep, vapor barriers, or engineered fill before new slabs or additions. These conditions add $2,000 – $8,000 to foundation-dependent projects compared to stable-soil sites, but skipping this step guarantees cracked concrete within two wet seasons.
Partially. Most Citrus Heights homeowners stay during kitchen or single-bathroom renovations by setting up temporary spaces, but whole-house gut renovations require moving out for 6 to 12 weeks due to dust, noise, and utility shutdowns. We sequence work to minimize displacement and always protect unaffected areas.
