Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Citrus Heights
Hiring a general contractor in Citrus Heights means finding someone who understands what your house is made of and how it was built. Most homes here went up between the late 1950s and early 1980s, and that changes how we scope kitchens, baths, additions, and structural work. A kitchen remodel in Citrus Heights typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on scope, a bathroom remodel $9,000 – $28,000, and a home addition $45,000 – $130,000. Call (803) 680-2547 for a written, line-item quote before any work starts.
We know the streets, the setbacks, the soil, and the permit counter. We plan for what we’ll actually find when walls come open in Sunrise Knolls, Arcade Creek, and neighborhoods off Auburn Boulevard. That planning is what keeps a Citrus Heights project on schedule and on price.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Citrus Heights’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners in Citrus Heights call us because we put the price in writing before the first tool leaves the truck. Not a verbal ballpark. A written price, on every project, every time. That’s been our standard since 2004, when Mason Remodeling started as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies.
Every crew member who comes to your door is background-checked and identity-verified under what we call The Threshold Standard. You get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they arrive in a clean marked uniform holding a photo ID badge at the door. No surprise faces. No wondering who’s walking up your driveway.
Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he holds every project to the same bar: permits pulled when required, rough-in inspections passed, punch lists closed, and a written guarantee that runs 365 days from the completion date. If something isn’t right within that year, we return and make it right at no cost to you.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Citrus Heights
When you hire a General Contractor in Citrus Heights, you’re hiring one responsible party for the entire job: demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, finishes, inspections, and the final walk-through. Citrus Heights homes from the 1960s and 70s often hide surprises behind drywall, and a good general contractor plans for them rather than hoping they don’t appear.
Before signing anything, insist on a formal scope of work with allowances spelled out. Here’s the failure we see most often: the homeowner assumes mid-grade finishes, the contractor prices builder-grade, and the first change order creates friction. Our written pricing eliminates that gap before we start.
Project Scoping and Permits
Most structural, electrical, and plumbing work in Citrus Heights requires city permits and inspections. Skipping permits on a kitchen remodel or room addition is the fastest way to stall a punch list indefinitely. We pull the permits, schedule the rough-in inspections, and close everything out with the city before you pay the final draw.
Older Home Complexity
Citrus Heights’s housing stock predates modern engineered lumber in many cases. Load-bearing walls aren’t always where blueprints suggest, and slab penetrations for plumbing or electrical can be more involved than in newer construction. We identify load paths early and price the real work, not an optimistic version of it.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Citrus Heights Homes
- Settled subfloors and uneven slab conditions. Homes built in the 1960s and 70s often have subfloor deflection around kitchens and baths. We level before we install cabinets and tile, or the finished work telegraphs the problem.
- Load-bearing walls hidden behind cosmetic updates. A wall that looks like a partition can carry roof load. We verify with a structural look before demo, not after.
- Undersized electrical panels. Many Citrus Heights homes still run 100-amp service. A kitchen remodel or ADU often triggers a panel upgrade, and that cost needs to be in your scope from day one.
- Moisture intrusion at slab edges. The flat, clay-heavy soil around Citrus Heights shifts with wet winters and dry summers, and older slab edges can wick moisture. We flash and seal at grade before finish work hides it.

FAQs About General Contractor in Citrus Heights
Yes, in almost every case. If you’re moving plumbing, electrical, or structural walls, the City of Citrus Heights requires permits and inspections. We pull permits as part of our standard scope, schedule rough-in inspections, and close out the project with city sign-off before you make your final payment. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll confirm what applies to your specific project.
A standard bathroom remodel in Citrus Heights runs about 3 to 5 weeks from demo to final inspection, assuming no hidden structural surprises. Older homes add time when we find rotted subfloor or cast-iron drain lines, but we build that discovery window into the schedule rather than promising an impossible date. We’ll give you a written calendar with milestone dates before we start.
A draw schedule sets when you pay for completed work: typically at demo, rough-in, drywall, and final inspection. On Citrus Heights projects, especially in 1960s and 70s homes where hidden conditions are common, a clear draw schedule tied to completed milestones protects you. You never pay ahead of the work, and change orders are written and approved before the next draw.
Yes. We bring finish samples and specification sheets to your Citrus Heights home so you’re choosing from real, vetted options, not guessing at a showroom. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures. Our written price reflects the exact finishes you select, with allowances stated up front. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule a selection meeting.
We stop, photograph it, show you exactly what we found, and give you a written change order with the cost to fix it before we proceed. Nothing hidden, no surprise invoice at the end. That’s the point of a draw schedule and a written scope: you decide with real information, not pressure. Most Citrus Heights homes have at least one surprise, and we plan for it.
