Kyburz, CA · Highway 50 · El Dorado County

Kyburz Bathroom Remodeling at a Glance

Kyburz is a Highway 50 mountain community at about 4,079 feet, and almost every home in its ZIP code — 93.8% — is a cabin held for seasonal or occasional use. The houses are old, with a median build year of 1949. A Kyburz bathroom project is therefore usually a small, decades-old cabin bath that has to survive cold winters with nobody home. Water comes from a mutual water company's spring-fed streams or from private sources, and permits come from El Dorado County. Oakwood Remodeling Group works on bathrooms only, license #1125321.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in Kyburz?

Our engine prices Kyburz work at $10,000 – $43,500+ for a small cabin bathroom, $8,000 – $34,500+ for a shower remodel, $7,000 – $28,500+ for a tub-to-shower conversion and $13,000 – $51,500+ for a full bathroom. Freeze-protection work and water filtration are priced as separate lines.

Where does Kyburz water come from?

For homes on Kyburz Mutual Water Company, from two spring-fed tributaries of the South Fork American River; its 2025 report lists hardness of 41 ppm, which is soft. Most properties in the ZIP code sit outside any mapped public system and have their own springs or wells, which should be tested.

Who issues bathroom permits in Kyburz?

El Dorado County’s Planning and Building Department — Kyburz has no city government — for any bathroom work that touches pipes, wiring or framing.

How old are Kyburz cabins?

Old: the median home in ZIP 95720 was built in 1949, 81.2% predate 1970 and 32.3% predate 1940 (ACS 2020–2024). Most cabin bathrooms here are small and were built long before modern waterproofing and ventilation.

How do you winter-proof a cabin bathroom?

Keep supply lines inside heated space or insulated, add a shutoff that closes the bathroom quickly, make the system easy to drain before a long absence, and choose tile and fixtures that tolerate cold. At about 4,000 feet on Highway 50, freezing nights are a normal part of winter.

Do you work elsewhere along Highway 50?

Kyburz and the Highway 50 corridor, including Strawberry, Twin Bridges, Pollock Pines and Camino.

Reviewed using U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020–2024 estimates for ZIP 95720, 2020 Census blocks checked against state water-system boundaries, USGS elevation data and Kyburz Mutual Water Company's 2025 report. Pricing and permit information from Oakwood Remodeling Group, license #1125321.

Kyburz Homes: Old Cabins, Mostly Seasonal

Cabin bathroom with a wood-look plank tile shower wall, matte black shower fixtures and a tiled niche, a floating wood vanity and a window framing pine trees

Kyburz is not a Census-defined place, so the figures here describe its ZIP Code Tabulation Area — about 155.8 square miles, most of it forest. Building there came early: 32.3% of homes predate 1940, 20.6% date from the 1940s and 17.8% from the 1960s. 91.4% were built before 1980.

With so few year-round residents, the Census Bureau's population and home-value estimates here are too uncertain to publish. What is clear is that the typical Kyburz bathroom belongs to an old cabin that sits unoccupied for long stretches.

Surface water from a small system can carry sediment after storms, so a sediment filter ahead of new valves and a showerhead with a cleanable screen are sensible. For a private source, test before choosing stone or light grout. See showerhead options.

  • Drainable lines — supply runs laid out so the cabin can be drained before a long absence
  • Shutoffs — a bathroom valve and an obvious main that closes quickly
  • Pipe routing — lines kept inside heated space or insulated where they cannot be
  • Ventilation — a ducted fan on a humidity sensor so the room dries without anyone there

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.

We’ve used Oakwood Remodeling Group for several remodeling projects and have been really happy with their work on every project. 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!
