Camino, CA · Apple Hill · El Dorado County

Camino Bathroom Remodeling at a Glance

Camino, the Apple Hill community on the ridge above Placerville, has some of the oldest housing in El Dorado County: about half its homes were built before 1970. At roughly 3,091 feet, its bathrooms also deal with colder winters than the valley below. Water from El Dorado Irrigation District is soft, though some properties may be on wells, and permits come from El Dorado County. Oakwood Remodeling Group is a bathroom-only contractor, license #1125321.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Camino?

Our pricing engine sets a Camino full bathroom at $13,000 – $51,500+, a shower remodel at $8,000 – $34,500+, a tub-to-shower conversion at $7,000 – $28,500+ and a primary suite at $24,000 – $86,500+. In a home built before 1970, replacing galvanized supply pipe, a cast-iron drain or old wiring is listed separately in the written estimate.

Is Camino water hard?

On El Dorado Irrigation District water, no. EID's Main system reported 8–16 mg/L hardness, averaging 12, in its 2019 report. All of Camino lies inside EID's district boundary, but only about two-thirds of the census area falls inside its mapped service area, so some homes may be on private wells whose water should be tested.

Who issues bathroom remodel permits in Camino?

El Dorado County. Camino is an unincorporated community, so building permits come from the El Dorado County Planning and Building Department. Moving plumbing, adding circuits and changing framing all require one.

How old are Camino homes?

Older than most in the region. The median Camino home was built in 1969, about half (50.9% ± 14.8) were built before 1970, and roughly three in four before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). A bathroom in a house that age often has galvanized pipe, cast-iron fixtures and wiring that predates ground-fault protection.

What is Apple Hill?

Apple Hill is the growers' association that formed in Camino in 1964, when local growers and El Dorado County's farm advisor and agricultural commissioner joined to market the area's fruit. It started with about 16 farms and today represents more than 50, including wineries and Christmas tree farms.

Which areas near Camino do you serve?

All of Camino and the Apple Hill area, plus Placerville, Pollock Pines, Shingle Springs, Cameron Park and the rest of El Dorado County.

On , Oakwood Remodeling Group (license #1125321) checked this page's pricing, permit authority, El Dorado Irrigation District water data and U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020–2024 estimates. Because Camino is small, only its most reliable census figures are shown.

Local housing stock

Camino Homes: Apple Hill Country, and About Half Built Before 1970

Rustic bathroom with a reclaimed wood vanity and vessel sink, a round wood-framed mirror, travertine-look walls, a glass shower with a pebble floor, a copper clawfoot tub and exposed wood beams

Camino is an unincorporated El Dorado County community of about 2,079 residents on 2.6 square miles, with its center at roughly 3,091 feet. It is best known as the home of Apple Hill. According to the Apple Hill Growers' own history, pears had long been Camino's primary crop when, in 1964, local grower Gene Bolster, El Dorado County pomology specialist Dick Bethell, agricultural commissioner Edio Delfino and Bob Tuck — who coined the name — formed the association. It began with about 16 farms and now represents more than 50.

The houses reflect that long history. Roughly two in five were built before 1960 (40.3%), and the median home value is $498,900. Many bathrooms in Camino have been partly updated over the years without ever being opened to the studs, which is where a full remodel earns its keep.

Older homes

Remodeling a Bathroom in a Pre-1970 Camino House

Galvanized supply pipe

Rust builds up inside steel pipe over decades, cutting pressure and sometimes discoloring water. With the wall open, the run to the bathroom is replaced.

Cast-iron drains and tubs

Durable, but old cast-iron drain lines can crack or scale inside. They are inspected, and replaced where needed, before the new floor goes down.

Outlets and grounding

Homes wired before ground-fault protection was required in bathrooms may have unprotected or ungrounded outlets. A remodel brings them to current code.

Ventilation

Some older bathrooms relied on a window rather than a fan. A ducted, humidity-controlled fan protects new finishes from moisture.

At Camino's elevation, the same open-wall moment is also the time to move supply lines away from exterior walls and unheated crawlspaces and to insulate any that must stay there. Helpful reading: replacing a cast-iron bathtub, replacing a shower valve and replacing a bathroom exhaust fan.

Water & materials

Camino Water: Soft EID Supply, and Wells Beyond It

EID's Main system (state system CA0910001) draws on several mountain sources. Its 2019 Consumer Confidence Report says Jenkinson Lake, at Sly Park Recreation Area, supplies nearly half of the system and is treated at the Reservoir A plant in Pollock Pines, while Forebay Reservoir in Pollock Pines feeds the Reservoir 1 plant. The 2019 report is the newest in the state's archive; EID publishes current reports itself.

On EID water, soft supply means clear glass stays clear with a squeegee and sealed stone is a reasonable choice. On a private well, test first — iron and manganese stain light surfaces, and hardness varies from well to well — and choose materials after the results are in.

Supply lines, valve, membrane, drain inspection

A pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve keeps the temperature steady when another fixture runs, which older two-handle valves did not. See shower waterproofing systems and the shower remodel cost guide.

Walk-in & aging in place

Walk-In Showers for Staying in Camino

Curbless walk-in shower with slate-look wall tile, a linear drain, stainless grab bars, a fold-down wood bench, a rain head and handheld shower, and a wide window onto golden foothills

A linear drain, as pictured, lets the floor slope in one direction so the entry can stay flat. Whether that means lowering framing or cutting a slab is confirmed on site. See upgrading to a curbless shower, aging-in-place remodels and accessibility bathroom permits.

Tub-to-shower

Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Camino

Open accessible shower area with stone-look tile, brushed brass grab bars and a handheld shower on a slide bar, a fold-down wood bench, a wood vanity with brass faucet and a round wood-framed mirror

Denis, Alex, and his team did a fantastic job on my project! It was a full gut, bathroom, laundry, and kitchen remodel. I even added a siding replacement on part of the house, along with some wood rot repairs. There were a ton of details throughout the various projects that they helped with or had suggestions on how to complete them, if there was a delay, they were on it, trying to find alternative vendors. If there were any changes or things that I didn't care for, they took care of it. I am very pleased with the final product and Oakwood Remodeling Group. I would highly recommend them for any of your remodeling needs.

I just purchased my first home in Loomis and Denis, Alex and the crew at Oakwood Remodeling Group did a wonderful job completely remodeling our bathroom. The quality of the work, attention to detail, and smooth process made a huge difference for us as new homeowners. We highly recommend anyone looking for bathroom remodeling in Loomis to get a free quote from Oakwood Remodeling Group.

From the very beginning Oakwood Remodeling Group has been extremely professional and Denis provided a reasonable quote to put up a set of very heavy barn doors. Artem, who came to our home was also very professional, funny, and did an outstanding job. In addition, they left our home very clean after the work was done and I was very impressed with their quality of work. I highly recommend them if you are interested in using them for a remodel job or just to put up barn doors.

I spent 35 years in the commercial construction industry as a carpenter, superintendent, then president of my own company and later as a senior project and construction manager building mostly offices, hospitals and schools. I know quality work when I see it, and I’m happy to report that Oakwood Remodeling Group does quality work. We contracted with Oakwood to replace out tub/shower with a walk-in shower. Their estimator Denis was courteous and thorough, and after several days clarifying details, he gave us a very competitive and firm price. One great advantage of using Oakwood is that their crews tend to do all the work themselves instead of scheduling and calling in a series of subcontractors. Illya and his helper did the demolition, plumbing, new tile, drywall, electrical and flooring themselves. No waiting for subs. Alex and all members of the firm were courteous, cooperative and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Oakwood Remodeling Group.

Alex and Denis were always professional, friendly, and very courteous throughout the whole process. Their pricing was fair and the quality of their work was excellent. It was great working with a team that was reliable and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for remodeling work!
