Construction & Remodeling in Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights is wall-to-wall mid-century ranch homes, and ADC Construction knows exactly what lives inside their walls. Kitchens, baths, roofs and the wiring and plumbing updates that come with them, all from one licensed, veteran-owned contractor.
Mid-Century Ranches Are Our Bread and Butter
Most of Citrus Heights went up between the 1950s and the 1970s, block after block of single-story ranches on tidy lots off Greenback, Sunrise and Auburn Boulevard. Sixty years on, these are honest houses with tired systems: original galvanized supply lines, panels from another era, and kitchens remodeled once in the 90s if at all.
That mix is exactly what ADC is built for. As a General B contractor we carry the whole scope ourselves: when the kitchen wall opens and the 1962 wiring shows up, our own crew deals with it, permitted and inspected, without a second contractor and a second invoice.
The classic Citrus Heights job for us is the open-up remodel. These ranches have separate small kitchens and dark family rooms; removing the right wall, sizing the beam properly and rebuilding the kitchen around an island turns the whole house around. See our Citrus Heights kitchen page for how those jobs run.
Bathrooms follow close behind. Original hall baths here are small, and the cast-iron drains under them are usually ready for replacement. We rebuild these bathrooms down to the subfloor when the situation calls for it, so the finished room sits on sound plumbing rather than on borrowed time.
Roofs in this city are mostly composition shingle and mostly at or beyond their rated life. We replace them, deal with any sheathing surprises the tear-off reveals, and handle wind-damage insurance claims when a storm gets there before you do.
Citrus Heights also has a practical streak we respect: owners here want durable materials and honest numbers more than showroom drama. That is our lane. We spend your budget where it lasts, tell you which upgrades are worth it, and skip the ones that only look good in a brochure.

What a 1960s Ranch Hides, and How We Handle It
Here is what we routinely find inside Citrus Heights ranches: galvanized steel supply pipe rusted to half its original diameter, cloth-insulated wiring on circuits now feeding modern appliance loads, and bathroom drains in cast iron that has been quietly corroding since the Johnson administration.
None of that should scare you. All of it is fixable, and remodel time is the cheapest possible moment to fix it, because the walls are already open. What should scare you is a contractor who tiles over it and leaves.
Our approach is simple. During the walk-through Adam tells you what your house likely hides based on its year and what we have found in its neighbors. The written scope carries a stated allowance for it. When demo confirms the situation, you get photos and a decision point, not a surprise invoice.
This is also why value remodels work so well here. Citrus Heights lots and floor plans are practical, and a house with updated systems, a rebuilt kitchen and a sound roof competes with homes costing far more one suburb over. Fix it once, correctly, and the house is set for another forty years.

Citrus Heights Owners Ask
Should I repipe my Citrus Heights house during a remodel?
If you still have galvanized supply lines, yes, and remodel time is the cheapest moment to do it since the walls are open anyway. We quote the repipe as its own line so you can see exactly what it costs.
Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and family room?
In most of these ranches, yes. We confirm whether the wall is load-bearing, size the beam with an engineer when it is, permit the change and rebuild the ceiling and floors so you would never know the wall existed.
My electrical panel is original. Is that a problem for a remodel?
Often the panel needs an upgrade before it can legally carry new kitchen circuits. We evaluate it during the walk-through and include the upgrade in the scope when required, permitted and inspected.
Do you handle permits with the City of Citrus Heights?
Yes, all of them: building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical. We prepare the plans, pull the permits and meet every inspection ourselves.
Is a full kitchen rebuild worth it in this market?
Citrus Heights homes respond strongly to a proper kitchen. Updated systems plus a rebuilt kitchen put a ranch here head to head with much pricier suburbs nearby, whether you are staying or selling.
How fast can you look at a wind-damaged roof?
Storm calls jump the queue. Call (209) 200-5302, send photos if you have them, and we will get eyes on it fast and document everything your insurer needs.
Can you make a small hall bathroom feel bigger without moving walls?
Usually yes. A curbless shower where the tub was, a wall-hung vanity, pocket door and correct lighting recover more room than people expect. When moving a wall genuinely pays off, we price that option too.
Do you work on homes near Rusch Park and the older north side?
All of Citrus Heights, north and south. The older the street, the more we assume about original systems, and the more useful our pre-demo inspection becomes.
