Remodeling Company in Citrus, CA
Remodeling in Citrus, CA means working with homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, where original plumbing, wiring, and framing often hide behind decades of piecemeal updates. We’re Sawyer Remodeling, a general contractor that puts the written price in your hands before any tool gets picked up. Whether you’re gutting a 1960s bathroom in Citrus or adding square footage to a rancher off Barranca Avenue, you’ll know the cost, the schedule, and who’s walking through your door. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate.
Why Citrus Homes Are Different
Citrus sits in the San Gabriel Valley, where summer heat regularly pushes past 95 degrees and winter nights dip into the 40s. That temperature swing matters. Stucco exteriors common across Citrus expand and contract all year, which means hairline cracks around window frames and door openings are normal, but ignored cracks turn into water intrusion. Older Citrus homes, especially those built before 1970, were framed with lumber that has now had fifty-plus years to settle, so floors are rarely level and walls are rarely plumb. Any remodel here starts with correcting the framing before tile or cabinetry goes in.
The housing stock in Citrus leans heavily toward single-story ranchers and modest two-story homes on smaller lots, many with original cast-iron drain lines that have corroded from the inside. When we open a wall in Citrus, we plan for the plumbing we’ll find, not the plumbing we hope is there. Permits go through Los Angeles County, and any structural change – moving a wall, altering a roofline, adding a bathroom – requires plan review and inspection. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and close them out. That’s part of the written price.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Citrus Services
Most Citrus homeowners call us for one of three things: a full general-contract job, a bathroom remodel, or a broader home renovation. Each service has its own Citrus page with detailed pricing and process.
General Contractor in Citrus
As a General Contractor in Citrus, we run the whole job: permits, demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, finish work, and final inspection. Citrus homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have outdated electrical panels that won’t pass current code, so a remodel that starts as a kitchen update can require a panel upgrade before drywall goes back up. We coordinate every trade under one written price, and you get photo updates before and after each phase. No chasing subs, no surprise invoices.
Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus
Bathrooms in Citrus take a beating from hard water. The local water supply leaves mineral buildup on fixtures and shower glass, and older homes often have only one bathroom to begin with, so timing matters when we tear it out. Our Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus page covers full teardowns, tub-to-shower conversions, and vanity replacements, with the Schluter waterproofing system behind every tile install. You’ll see a written line-item price before any demo starts.
Home Renovation in Citrus
Whole-home renovations in Citrus usually mean bringing a 1950s or 1960s rancher up to how families actually live now: open floor plans, more storage, updated electrical, and better insulation for those hot valley summers. Our Home Renovation in Citrus page walks through the scope, from kitchen and bath overhauls to flooring, windows, and exterior upgrades. We phase the work so you’re not living in a construction zone longer than necessary, and every phase has a written price attached before it begins.

What won’t push the price up is change orders you didn’t approve. The number on your written estimate is the number on your invoice.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Citrus
Most Citrus projects start within two to four weeks of the signed estimate, depending on scope. Permits through Los Angeles County add time, typically one to three weeks for review on a bathroom or kitchen job. We handle the permit filing, so you’re not waiting on paperwork to come together. Call us for an exact timing estimate.
Yes, if you’re moving walls, changing plumbing or electrical, or adding square footage. Cosmetic work like painting, flooring, or a vanity swap typically doesn’t. We pull permits for every Citrus job that requires them and close them out with a final inspection. It’s part of the written price, not an add-on.
Yes, and many Citrus subdivisions have architectural review requirements for exterior work. We draft the submission materials and work within HOA timelines, so your renovation doesn’t stall at the review board. Interior remodels rarely need HOA approval, but we check before demolition begins. Call (254) 272-5876 to schedule a free estimate for your Citrus home.
