How Our Walk-In Shower Remodeling Process Works
We walk every client through the full scope of the project before a single tool comes out. That means no surprises on cost, schedule, or what the finished product can look like.
Consultation & Planning
Every project starts with a free in-home consultation. We listen to your goals, evaluate the existing space and plumbing configuration, and ask the questions that shape a realistic plan. If your project involves a tub-to-shower conversion on a slab foundation, we identify drain relocation requirements at this stage, not midway through demolition.
Estimate & Schedule
Before work begins, you receive a detailed written estimate with itemized pricing and a clear project schedule. We don’t use vague ranges. You know what you’re paying and when each phase is scheduled to be completed.
Permitting
Projects that require a permit through the City of Citrus Heights Building Division, including those involving plumbing changes, drain relocation, or electrical work, are handled by our team. You don’t need to navigate that process yourself.
Construction
The construction phase follows a consistent sequence: demolition of the existing surround, inspection of the substrate and plumbing, installation of waterproofing membrane and cement board, tile setting, glass enclosure installation, and fixture connection. We keep you informed as each phase is completed.
Final Walkthrough
Every project ends with a walkthrough. We don’t consider the job finished until you’re satisfied with the result, and all work is covered by our 10-year craftsmanship warranty.
What Citrus Heights Homes Require on Shower Remodel Projects
Citrus Heights homes carry specific characteristics that affect how walk-in shower projects are planned and executed. Most were built between the 1950s and 1980s on slab foundations, which means tub-to-shower conversions that require drain relocation involve saw-cutting the slab and trenching a new drain line. That’s not unusual work for us, but it does affect scope, timeline, and permitting requirements.
Aging fiberglass surrounds and original tile in these homes are often concealing substrate damage or outdated plumbing connections. A shower remodel is a practical opportunity to address those underlying issues while updating the space for modern use.
Ventilation is worth noting as well. Many older Citrus Heights bathrooms have exhaust fans that weren’t originally vented to the exterior, which contributes to moisture buildup over time. A shower remodel is a natural point to correct that. We also factor in the regional water supply when recommending glass coatings and fixture finishes, since moderate water hardness can affect both appearance and maintenance over the long run.

Walk-In Shower Remodeling Questions
Here are answers to questions we hear regularly from Citrus Heights homeowners planning a walk-in shower project.
Do I need a permit to remodel my shower in Citrus Heights?
It depends on the scope. Same-location tile and fixture replacement typically doesn’t require a permit. Projects that involve plumbing changes, drain relocation, or structural modifications require a permit from the City of Citrus Heights Building Division. We handle the permitting process so you don’t have to.
What’s the difference between a walk-in shower remodel and a tub-to-shower conversion?
A walk-in shower remodel replaces an existing shower surround with a new custom design in the same footprint. A tub-to-shower conversion removes the tub entirely and reconfigures the space, which often includes relocating the drain. In Citrus Heights, where most homes are on slab foundations, that drain work involves saw-cutting and trenching.
How long does a walk-in shower remodel take?
Timeline depends on scope and materials. A surround replacement takes less time than a full conversion with drain relocation and custom tile. We provide a clear project schedule before work begins so you know what to expect.
Can a walk-in shower be designed for safety and accessibility?
Yes. Curbless entry, grab bars, a built-in bench, non-slip flooring, and a handheld showerhead on an adjustable slide bar can all be incorporated into the design. We discuss these options during the planning consultation and tailor recommendations to your household’s needs.
What wall materials are used for walk-in showers?
The most common options are porcelain tile, ceramic tile, natural stone, and engineered wall panels. Porcelain is generally recommended for shower environments due to its low porosity and durability. We guide you through material selection based on your design goals and how much ongoing maintenance you want.
How much does a walk-in shower remodel cost?
Pricing depends on the scope of work, material choices, and whether plumbing or structural changes are involved. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so you have a full picture of costs upfront. Call (916) 571-0651 to schedule your free estimate.
