Citrus Heights Whole Home Remodeling
Full-house renovations for Citrus Heights properties: floor plans, finishes, mechanicals, and structural updates handled under a single contract from a single licensed General B.
Whole-Home Renovations for Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights’s mid-century housing stock: particularly in the established mid-century neighborhoods, the newer master-planned subdivisions, and the newer subdivisions: was built fast in the 1960s-70s and is hitting the age where mechanical systems, roofing, and finish work all need replacement at once. Whole-home remodels make economic sense in this stock because the cost of doing kitchen + bath + flooring + electrical separately over 5 years runs more than doing them together once with proper sequencing.
ADC handles whole-home renovations as a single contract under one General B license: meaning one schedule, one set of permits, one warranty, and one phone number to call when something needs follow-up. We coordinate plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and roofing as sub-trades under our scope, with all permits pulled with Citrus Heights on day one.
For Citrus Heights clients buying older homes and prepping them before move-in, we typically scope: rough plumbing replacement (galvanized to PEX), full electrical service upgrade with new panel, kitchen + master bath gut, flooring, paint, and any structural reconfiguration the family wants. Timeline is usually 12-20 weeks depending on scope.
The reason whole-home makes sense in Citrus Heights is that the housing stock is all hitting the same wall at the same time. These 1960s and 70s ranch tracts, off Greenback, up around Sunrise, in the neighborhoods near the old town core, were built with galvanized supply lines, aluminum or undersized copper branch wiring, original panels, single-pane aluminum windows, and rock-lath or early drywall. Fixing one thing at a time means opening the same walls over and over. When we take a house down to the studs once, we replace the plumbing to PEX, rewire to modern circuits with a new panel, upgrade the windows, insulate walls that were never insulated, and re-sheet the whole thing. You pay for the disruption once instead of five times, and everything is on the same warranty and the same permit set.
Layout is the other big win in these homes. The ranch tracts were chopped into small formal rooms, a boxed-in kitchen, a hallway of tight bedrooms, sometimes a converted garage that was never done right. Families today want the public side of the house opened up, a real primary suite where two small bedrooms used to be, and the garage conversion redone to code with proper heating and egress. Adam checks which walls carry roof load during the walkthrough and designs the beams so the ceilings stay full height, then we reconfigure the plan around how the family actually lives. All of it permitted through the City of Citrus Heights and inspected, so the reworked house is documented for resale.
Because the summers here run long and hot, a whole-home remodel is also the right moment to fix comfort for good. We size the new HVAC to the reconfigured floor plan, seal and insulate the envelope, and often re-roof at the same time since the crew and the access are already there and the old composition roofs on these tracts are usually near the end of their life anyway. Doing the roof, the envelope, and the mechanicals together is what turns a hot, drafty ranch into a house that holds its temperature through a Sacramento Valley August without the power bill spiking.

Citrus Heights Whole Home Remodeling Questions
How much does a whole home remodel cost in Citrus Heights?
The range on a Citrus Heights whole home project is wide because the scope is. Cosmetic work across an existing layout sits at the bottom. A full gut with structural changes, a service upgrade, and new plumbing throughout sits at the top. House size sets the baseline and the age of the house decides what surprises show up. Adam walks it room by room before quoting. A mid-century house of that size taking on a kitchen, two baths, an electrical service upgrade, flooring, paint, and roofing is a full-scope project, and the number reflects how many trades are involved. Larger or more premium scopes scale from there. Itemized quotes within 48 hours.
How long does a whole home renovation take?
Citrus Heights whole-home remodels run 12-20 weeks depending on scope. We sequence trades to minimize idle time: demo and rough plumbing/electrical first, then drywall, then finishes, then flooring last. Adam provides a week-by-week schedule with your quote.
Can we live in the home during a whole-home renovation?
Usually no. The first 6-8 weeks involve demo and mechanical rough-in, which takes the kitchen, bathrooms, and main living areas offline simultaneously. Most Citrus Heights clients rent for 3-4 months during the renovation. We can schedule occupied phases (final finishes, paint) with the family back in residence.
Do you handle structural changes?
Yes. Wall removals, load-bearing modifications, foundation work, room additions, and second-story additions all fall under our General B scope. Structural permits with Citrus Heights, engineered drawings, and inspections handled.
What permits does Citrus Heights require for a whole home remodel?
Whole-home renovations typically require building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and sometimes structural permits with the local Building Division. Smoke alarm and CO detector compliance is enforced. We pull all permits as part of normal scope and coordinate inspections through final sign-off.
Why do the systems all seem to need replacing at once in my Citrus Heights home?
Because they were all installed at once. The 1960s and 70s ranch tracts here were built with galvanized plumbing, original panels, and undersized branch wiring, single-pane aluminum windows, and often uninsulated walls. Those components age on the same clock, so around this point they all reach end of life together. That’s exactly why a whole-home remodel pencils out. Taking the house to the studs once lets us replace plumbing, wiring, windows, and insulation in a single pass instead of opening the same walls five different times.
Should I re-roof during a whole-home remodel?
Usually it’s the smart time. The composition roofs on most Citrus Heights ranch tracts are near the end of their service life anyway, and when we’re already remodeling, the crew and the access are on site. Doing the roof alongside the envelope and mechanical upgrades means one mobilization instead of two, and it lets us tie the roofing, insulation, and HVAC work together so the house holds its temperature through the long Valley summers.
Can you turn two small bedrooms into a primary suite?
Yes, that’s one of the most common requests in these Citrus Heights ranch homes. The original tracts split the private side into a hallway of tight bedrooms, and combining two of them into a real primary with an ensuite and a walk-in transforms how the house lives. During the walkthrough Adam confirms which walls carry roof load and designs beams so you keep full ceiling height, then we rework the plumbing and electrical for the new bath. It’s permitted and inspected like the rest of the project.
