Capital Construction is a family-owned, licensed general contractor handling kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Citrus Heights, CA with our own in-house crews, our own countertop fabrication shop and our own showroom on Auburn Boulevard in Sacramento. We don’t outsource your project to third parties. Every project runs under CA Contractor License #793440.
Most Citrus Heights homes sit in neighborhoods built between 1960 and 1979, and homeowners here deserve a kitchen remodel planned around real conditions: older wiring, older plumbing, compact original layouts. A remodel changes daily life and home value, so the project belongs with a licensed contractor who keeps it compliant with local building codes.

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel Services for Citrus Heights Homes
We handle the full kitchen remodel for Citrus Heights homes with one in-house team, including the flooring, tile and bathroom remodel work that often rides along with it. Walk-in showers and soaking tubs, backsplash tile, new floors: same crew, same standard. Your kitchen is where life happens, and we plan it that way.
Custom Cabinetry and Storage That Fits Older Layouts
Cabinetry is the largest decision in a kitchen remodel, in impact and in cost, typically 30% to 40% of a renovation budget. Custom cabinets are the most expensive line item, which is why they get designed around how you cook. In the compact 1970s and 1980s layouts common across Citrus Heights, smart storage beats square footage, and deep pull-out drawers recover space you already own.
Countertops Fabricated in Our Own Shop
You choose your slab in our showroom, and we fabricate it in our own shop instead of handing your kitchen to an outside vendor. We work in both natural and engineered stone. Citrus Heights homeowners pick quartz countertops most often for their low maintenance and durability, with granite, quartzite, porcelain slab, butcher block and laminate also available. Engineered stone in particular gives a modern kitchen a consistent look across long runs. The craftsmanship stays under our own roof, which is how quality control actually works.
Layout Changes, Walls, Plumbing and Electrical
We are a licensed general contractor, so structural changes and utility relocations are part of the project, not a referral to someone else. Older Citrus Heights homes often need plumbing and electrical updates, and we assess electrical capacity before the design is final. Moving a range or adding modern appliances frequently means new circuits. That work requires permits, and we pull permits and handle the paperwork.
Tile, Backsplash and Flooring Installation
Backsplash tile and new flooring finish the remodel, installed by the same crew to the same quality standard. Citrus Heights does not require a building permit to change residential floor coverings such as tile, wood, carpet or linoleum, which keeps that part of the scope simple.
Lighting and Daylight for Hot Sacramento Valley Summers
Layered lighting makes the space work: task, ambient and accent, not one fixture in the ceiling. Citrus Heights summers run warm and dry, so we favor energy-efficient LED fixtures and good window coverings on west-facing kitchen glass. Over a prep zone, the right task light is a genuine game changer for anyone who does real cooking.
Why Citrus Heights Homeowners Choose Us for Customer Satisfaction
The combination is hard to match: family-owned, in-house crews with no third-party outsourcing, CA Contractor License #793440, more than 20 years of experience, 700+ happy clients and a 4.9/5 rating as reported on our own site, an on-site showroom, a countertop fabrication shop, and upfront timelines and costs in writing. Serving Citrus Heights homeowners means our name follows us around the neighborhood, so customer satisfaction is not an abstraction here. Craftsmanship is the baseline, never an upgrade, and we take pride in delivering quality craftsmanship on every home improvement project we touch.
On surprise costs: your estimate defines scope, material allowances, permit responsibility and how concealed conditions get approved before anyone spends your money. Quality finishes hold value, and a well-executed kitchen remodel commonly returns 60% to 80% of its cost at resale.
On strangers in your house: the people who show up are ours. Licensed contractors carry the permit and inspection burden instead of handing it to you, and a contractor must hold a valid Citrus Heights business license before the city will issue a building permit. Ask every remodeler you interview for a license number, then come see our showroom and request your free, no-obligation estimate.
Competitive Pricing and a Remodeling Process Built to Exceed Expectations
- Free estimate and initial consultation. We measure, look behind what we can, and listen to your vision for the dream kitchen you have in mind. No obligation.
- Kitchen design and showroom selections. Cabinets, slabs, tile and flooring chosen in person from real materials, with key components ordered early.
- Written scope and upfront numbers. Allowances, timeline, competitive pricing and the change-order procedure for your project, in writing, before demolition.
- Permitting. Citrus Heights requires permits through its online Citizen Access Portal, and the stated 10-working-day plan-check period begins once Planning and Engineering approvals are complete. We file the required permits.
- Build, inspect, walk through. Our skilled craftsmen run the trades, and we schedule inspections with the city, which generally takes requests in by 4:00 p.m. for the next business day.
You get one point of contact from the first conversation to the final touches, and a crew that flags hidden issues when walls open rather than after. That remodeling process is how a Citrus Heights kitchen remodel stays on the schedule we handed you, and how expert craftsmanship ends up doing more than meet the plan. We aim to exceed expectations.
What Makes a Citrus Heights Kitchen Remodel Different
Age and layout. Most housing in Citrus Heights, CA went up between 1960 and 1979, so we plan for wiring and plumbing that predate modern appliance loads. The city reports 60% of housing was built before the 1978 residential lead-paint ban, and painted surfaces get handled with care during demolition.
Citrus Heights neighborhoods differ block to block. Development around Sunrise Mall and the Birdcage commercial area went up in the 1970s and 1980s, and the surviving 1910s to 1930s houses cluster along Old Auburn Road and Mariposa Avenue. Each vintage changes how we sequence the project.
One local rule matters early. Citrus Heights treats work that removes or replaces at least 50% of a building’s combined interior and exterior wall length in one year as new construction under current building and fire codes. That can reclassify an ambitious layout change, and we flag it during design, not mid-demolition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a kitchen remodel cost in Citrus Heights, CA?
There is no single kitchen remodel cost in Citrus Heights, because no two of these homes are alike. We give you a written, scope-based estimate instead of a guess. Cabinets, countertops, appliances, utility relocation, structural changes and concealed conditions all move the number.
What is the most expensive part of redoing a kitchen?
Kitchen cabinetry, especially custom cabinetry. We control that cost by designing in our showroom and fabricating countertops in our own shop, so the decisions that drive the budget get made in front of you with real materials.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen or bathroom in Citrus Heights?
Yes. Most kitchen remodels do. The city’s permit matrix says a residential kitchen or bathroom remodel requires a permit, and structural, electrical and plumbing work always does. Cabinet swaps without electrical or plumbing work are exempt, as are floor-covering changes. We submit to the Citrus Heights Building & Safety Division at 6360 Fountain Square Drive and schedule your inspections.
How much are Citrus Heights kitchen remodel permit fees?
No one can quote a flat figure, because remodel permits are valuation-based on the labor and materials required to complete the project. The current fee schedule adds plan check at 65% of the building permit fee, plus General Plan Update and Technology fees. Permit fees are part of your total cost in Citrus Heights, and we itemize them.
How long will my kitchen be out of service?
We set your schedule after design and selections and hand it to you upfront in writing. The Citrus Heights plan-check window runs 10 working days after Planning and Engineering approvals, and inspection requests in by 4:00 p.m. are generally scheduled for the next business day.
Will your own crew work in my home, and do you serve my part of Citrus Heights?
Yes to both. Our in-house team does the work on your project with no outsourcing to third parties. We serve Citrus Heights entirely, from Northwest and Rusch Park to Park Oaks, Sylvan/Old Auburn and Birdcage Heights, along with neighbors in Roseville, Orangevale, Fair Oaks and El Dorado Hills. If you’ve been searching for kitchen remodeling contractors near me, we’re the neighbors down Auburn Boulevard.
