Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Citrus
If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Citrus, you need a number that holds up once the walls come open. A full bathroom remodel in Citrus typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, and the honest truth is that most of the real cost lives behind the tile, not in front of it. Mason Remodeling has been your trusted General Contractor in Citrus since 2004, and our crews work throughout the San Gabriel Valley with pricing and process built around what these older homes actually contain. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule a free estimate and get a written price before any work begins.
Citrus is a small, unincorporated pocket of Los Angeles County with housing stock that skews mid-century. For a bathroom remodel, that changes everything about how a project should be scoped. We’ll get into exactly what we find behind these walls and what it means for your budget below.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Citrus’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
The core of our reputation in Citrus comes from something most remodelers don’t do: a fully written price before a single tool is unpacked. That’s the no-hassle upfront pricing policy we apply on every project, every time, no exceptions. The quote you approve is the number you build against, and any change gets documented in writing before work continues, never sprung on the final invoice.
Our crews arrive in clean marked uniforms, every member identity-verified and background-checked. We call it The Threshold Standard: you get each technician’s name and photo before the visit, and a photo ID badge is shown at the door on arrival. For homeowners in Citrus who may be at home alone or with young children, that’s not a luxury. It’s how opening your front door should feel.
We’re led by Isaac Pruett, and the way Isaac runs a Citrus job is the same way the rest of our company runs every job: permits pulled, inspections passed, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that covers every completed project. If the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you, including a free return visit if a repair or installation fails. The guarantee terms are written plainly on every project: what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team coordinates scheduling and dispatch from the brand’s Los Angeles office, with crews serving Citrus locally. You’ll always reach a live person when you call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because a question about your project shouldn’t wait until Monday morning.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Citrus
A Shower Remodel in Citrus usually means gutting an existing tub surround or aging stall shower and rebuilding it to current plumbing and waterproofing standards. In these homes, that often includes replacing the shower valve and supply riser while the wall is open, because the original fixtures predate modern pressure-balancing code requirements. This work typically runs $3,000 – $8,500 for a shower replacement, while a full walk-in shower installation in Citrus runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on tile choices, glass enclosure type, and the condition of the framing behind the existing surround.
Mason Remodeling installs specification-grade shower components from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe, so you’re not choosing from a limited builder-grade menu. The job starts with a site assessment and written scope, then demo, rough-in inspection, waterproofing, tile, and final trim and glass. We never guess at the cost. The written price shows every line.
Frameless Glass and Walk-In Installations
Frameless glass enclosures are a popular upgrade in Citrus for homeowners converting a cramped tub alcove into a step-in shower. We measure after tile is set, order the tempered glass panel or hinge assembly from a professional supplier, and anchor it with proper care for the studs behind your tile.
Walk-in shower installation in these older homes sometimes means reinforcing floor framing before the pan goes in. We inspect and address that in the written scope, not as a change order discovered after the floor is open.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Citrus
A Tub to Shower Conversion in Citrus is the most common large upgrade we handle in the area’s 1950s and 1960s homes. It’s exactly what it sounds like: removing the old bathtub and building a shower in its footprint. In Citrus, this runs $3,500 – $10,000 depending on the condition of the drain line, whether we are relocating the valve, and what tile and glass you pick.
The reason this conversion costs more here than in newer subdivisions is what we find under the tub: original cast-iron drain lines and galvanized supply pipes that often need replacement before the new shower pan can be set. The Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus projects we scope usually include a rough-in upgrade as a line item, not a surprise.
What the Conversion Involves
We disconnect and remove the old tub, inspect the drain and supply layout, and replace what current code requires. Then we frame or patch the alcove, install a waterproof pan and wall system, tile, trim, and set the new shower valve and fixtures.
Most Citrus homes converting to a walk-in shower receive a new pressure-balancing valve, a properly sloped pan, and a shower surround that carries waterproofing all the way up to the showerhead line. We do not skip that step. It is the single most common source of leaking showers we repair in neighboring projects.
Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus
Our Citrus crews work with name-brand products you can look up and trust before signing anything: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for vanities, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe fixtures. We also keep quick access to common replacement parts from local supply houses so a vanity installation or fixture swap doesn’t stall out waiting on a backordered component. If a brand like Sakrete, Abodu, Cover, or Dvele is part of your plan, we stock and handle those materials with the same care as everything else on the job. One call to (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you what’s in stock and what has a lead time before you commit.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Citrus Homes
- Galvanized supply lines behind the walls. Citrus homes built in the 1950s and 1960s often have original galvanized steel water lines. They corrode from the inside out, and once they’re exposed during demo, most homeowners replace them with PEX rather than tile over a ticking clock.
- Cast-iron drains pitted past reuse. The cast-iron drain lines in mid-century Citrus bathrooms may look fine on the outside and be paper-thin inside. Our crews identify this during the rough-in inspection and budget for replacement up front in the written price.
- Undersized or failed venting. Original venting in these older Citrus homes frequently does not meet current plumbing code. If your sink gurgles or the shower drains slow, a vent correction is part of the remodel, not a separate surprise.
- Rotted subfloor under the tub or toilet flange. Decades of small leaks at the toilet wax ring or tub overflow leave the subfloor soft and unsafe. We rebuild that framing, replace the subfloor, and only then set the new pan and tile.

A full bathroom remodel in Citrus runs $9,000 – $28,000.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus
Yes. Any bathroom remodel in Citrus that changes plumbing, electrical, or the footprint of the room requires a permit from Los Angeles County. We pull the permit and schedule all inspections, and we don’t close up walls until the inspector signs off. Skipping this step puts the next remodel or resale of your Citrus home into a correction process that costs far more than the permit fee. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll confirm exactly what your scope triggers.
Because what’s behind your walls has never been open before, and in Citrus homes from the 1950s and 1960s, the hidden plumbing often fails once exposed. Fixed-price quotes without a written change order process turn a rough-in replacement into a fight. Mason Remodeling writes the full scope, price, and change order procedure before you sign. If something surfaces during demo, you approve the change in writing before we proceed. No surprises. Call (803) 680-2547 to get a written price that accounts for Citrus’s real wall conditions.
Most full bathroom remodels in Citrus complete in 3 to 6 weeks from the first day of demo to the final walkthrough. The variables are the condition of the rough-in plumbing, the lead time on any custom tile or glass, and whether the scope stays as written. We’ll give you a calendar at contract signing, and we don’t disappear between phases. Call (803) 680-2547 for a timeline tailored to your project.
Our Citrus crews install KraftMaid and Wellborn vanities, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone tops, and Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe fixtures. We also handle specification-grade accessories from brands like Sakrete, Abodu, Cover, and Dvele if your project calls for them. We can walk you through a material list at your free estimate. Call (803) 680-2547.
Only two things, and both are documented in writing before any work continues: a change you request, like switching tile or adding a larger vanity, or a condition we could not see until the wall was open, like a cast-iron drain needing replacement or a rotted subfloor. We don’t gold-plate the scope, and we don’t bill for conditions we should have caught in the initial assessment. Call (803) 680-2547 to set up your free estimate and see the written price before any work begins.
