Tahoma, CA · West Shore, Lake Tahoe

Tahoma Bathroom Remodeling at a Glance

Tahoma is a West Shore community of 2,132 homes where nearly three in four are second homes or vacation properties. Winters are long — 200 freezing nights a year at the local NOAA station — so a bathroom has to survive cold, empty weeks. The water is soft, interior remodels are generally exempt from TRPA review, and permits come from El Dorado or Placer County depending on the parcel. Oakwood Remodeling Group is a bathroom-only contractor, license #1125321.

Engine-derived range

How much does a Tahoma bathroom remodel cost?

Tahoma pricing from our engine: $8,000 – $34,500+ for a shower, $7,000 – $28,500+ for a tub-to-shower conversion, $10,000 – $43,500+ for a small bathroom and $13,000 – $51,500+ for a full bathroom. Winter access and freeze protection are planned into the schedule and scope.

Does an interior bathroom remodel need TRPA approval?

Usually not. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s exempt-activities packet lists interior remodeling as exempt when it does not change or intensify the use or increase density. Exterior changes, such as a new window or vent through a wall, are a different question.

How cold is Tahoma?

NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for its Tahoma station, at about 6,315 feet, record 200 nights a year at or below 32°F and winter lows averaging 21.5°F. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated crawlspaces are a real risk, especially in homes left empty.

Is Tahoma water hard?

No. The wells serving Tahoma test soft: 54 ppm in Tahoe City PUD's Tahoe Cedars system, 48 ppm in its McKinney/Quail system and 55.5 ppm at McKinney Water District.

Who issues bathroom permits in Tahoma?

The county the home is in. Tahoma straddles two counties — 672 of its 1,034 residents live in El Dorado County and 362 in Placer County at the 2020 Census — and both counties issue permits on TRPA's behalf under delegation agreements.

Which West Shore areas do you serve?

Tahoma, Homewood, Tahoe City, Alpine Meadows, Kings Beach and South Lake Tahoe.

Reviewed against the 2020 Census and ACS 2020–2024 estimates, NOAA climate normals, Tahoe City PUD and McKinney Water District water quality reports, state water-system and FEMA maps at 87 census blocks, and TRPA permitting guidance. Pricing and permits: Oakwood Remodeling Group, license #1125321.

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.

The quality of the work, attention to detail, and smooth process made a huge difference for us as new homeowners.

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!

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.
