Classic Whole House Remodel Citrus Heights CA

Timeless Design Features

A “classic” bathroom emphasizes balance, neutral colors, and enduring design elements:

• Neutral palettes: whites, creams, grays, and soft pastels

• Subway tiles & mosaics

• Marble or quartz countertops

• Freestanding tubs & walk-in showers

• Shaker-style vanities with inset doors

• Chrome, nickel, or brass fixtures

• Symmetry in design

Classic vs. Trendy Bathrooms

• Classic bathrooms stay appealing for decades, adding resale value.

• Trendy bathrooms may look outdated in as little as 5–7 years (think vessel sinks or overly bold color schemes).

At Remodel California, we focus on timeless design choices that will continue to inspire long after trends fade.

Housing Styles & Common Bathroom Layouts

Citrus Heights homes are often suburban ranch, split-level, or mid-century builds. Many bathrooms are compact, so remodels often focus on:

• Expanding space through better layouts

• Maximizing storage in small footprints

• Updating outdated fixtures and plumbing

Local Codes, Permits, and Inspections

Bathroom remodels in Citrus Heights typically require permits for:

• Plumbing (new or relocated lines)

• Electrical (lighting, outlets, GFCI protection)

• Structural work (if walls are removed or moved)

Setting Your Budget & Cost Considerations

Typical bathroom remodel costs in Citrus Heights:

• Small updates: $8,000 – $15,000

• Mid-range remodels: $15,000 – $25,000

• High-end classic remodels: $30,000 – $60,000+

Major cost factors:

• Vanities & cabinetry

Always set aside a 10–15% contingency for surprises like water damage or outdated wiring.
