General Contractor in Citrus Heights, CA

Citrus Heights is one of the most established communities in the northern Sacramento suburbs. It became its own city in the 2000s, after decades as an unincorporated area, and its neighborhoods grew mostly in the postwar and later decades. The result is a wide stretch of single-family streets with homes that were built sensibly, on lots that are often smaller than those just east in Orangevale or Granite Bay.

That combination is why remodeling makes so much sense here. Many houses have good structure and good locations, near schools, parks and shopping, but interiors built for the habits of another era. Kitchens are closed in, bathrooms are tight and bedrooms are modest. Moving is expensive, and often the next home has its own compromises. Investing in the house you already own can solve the problem without giving up the neighborhood.

We work with Citrus Heights homeowners who want to stay put and make their homes work harder. Some want a new kitchen. Some want a primary suite. Some simply need more room, and are looking for ways to find it without leaving.

Because Citrus Heights is an incorporated city, it runs its own building and planning processes. That is different from unincorporated neighbors such as Orangevale and Carmichael, which use Sacramento County. For you, the practical effect is a different office, different forms and sometimes different timelines.

In general, work that changes structure, plumbing, electrical or mechanical systems, or that adds square footage, requires a permit. Zoning rules also govern setbacks, height and lot coverage, so we check these before plans are drawn. The city may also have requirements for converting garages or adding living space, and we review them early.
