Lake Wildwood Bathroom Remodeling at a Glance

Lake Wildwood is a gated lake and golf community in the Nevada County foothills, and its bathrooms follow its residents: 66.8% of households have a member 65 or older, and 67.8% of homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s. That makes the typical project a long-overdue replacement designed for aging in place. The water, from Nevada Irrigation District's Lake Wildwood plant, is soft, and permits come from Nevada County. Bathroom-only contractor Oakwood Remodeling Group holds license #1125321.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in Lake Wildwood?

For Lake Wildwood, CA, our pricing engine gives $8,000 – $34,500+ for a walk-in or tiled shower, $7,000 – $28,500+ to replace a tub with a shower, $13,000 – $51,500+ for a full bathroom and $24,000 – $86,500+ for a primary suite. Accessibility features such as a curbless entry are itemized in the written estimate.

Is Lake Wildwood water hard?

No. The whole community sits inside Nevada Irrigation District's Lake Wildwood water system on the state's service-area map. NID's 2019 report put the Lake Wildwood treatment plant's water at 15 mg/L hardness, and its 2025 report lists 8 to 24 ppm across the plants it reports — all soft, from Sierra snowpack.

Who issues bathroom remodel permits in Lake Wildwood?

Nevada County. Lake Wildwood is unincorporated, so building permits come from the Nevada County Community Development Agency, which takes applications and schedules inspections through its online permitting system. Plumbing, electrical and structural changes require a permit.

Does remodeling work differently in a gated community?

The bathroom work itself does not, but the logistics do. The Lake Wildwood Association describes Lake Wildwood as an active, gated community, so crew and delivery access need to be arranged ahead of time, and any change visible from outside — a vent termination or a window — should be checked against the association’s current rules before work is scheduled.

Why is aging in place such a focus in Lake Wildwood?

Because 66.8% of Lake Wildwood households have a member 65 or older (ACS 2020–2024). Step-free entries, concealed backing for grab bars, seating, an adjustable hand shower and grippy floor tile keep the room safe for years, and all of them are easiest to build into a remodel.

Which areas near Lake Wildwood do you serve?

All of Lake Wildwood, plus Penn Valley and the nearby Nevada County communities of Grass Valley, Nevada City, Rough and Ready and Lake of the Pines.

Reviewed by Oakwood Remodeling Group (license #1125321) against Nevada Irrigation District water reports, Nevada County permitting information, the Lake Wildwood Association and U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020–2024 estimates.

Local housing stock

Lake Wildwood Homes: A 1970s–1980s Community Around a Lake

Tan tiled walk-in shower with a stacked stone accent column, a mosaic accent band, a recessed niche, a corner shelf and a pebble floor, entered between low tiled walls

The Lake Wildwood Association describes the community as an active, gated community about an hour northeast of Sacramento in the historic Gold Rush foothills of Nevada County, with an 18-hole championship golf course and more than 2,800 custom homes. The census area covers 3.1 square miles, and its center point sits at about 1,449 feet.

The building record is concentrated: 32.7% of homes from the 1970s and 35.1% from the 1980s. Residents skew older, with a median age of 57.3 and 42.2% of the population 65 or older. For a bathroom, that pairing — rooms forty-plus years old, households planning to stay — points toward a thorough replacement built around safety and comfort.

Aging in place

Walk-In Showers for Two in Three Lake Wildwood Households

Low-entry walk-in shower with gray tile, grab bars, a handheld shower on a slide bar, a pebble floor and a teak stool, beside a rustic wood vanity with a grab bar along its front rail
  • A shower you can step straight into
  • Backing for grab bars before the tile goes up
  • A bench to sit on while bathing
  • A hand shower that slides up and down
  • Textured tile that grips underfoot
  • Even lighting and easy-turn lever controls

Grab bars in wood-framed walls need solid blocking behind the tile to hold a person's weight, and a fully curbless shower needs its floor recessed below the rest of the room. Both are straightforward during a remodel and difficult afterward. See aging-in-place bathroom remodels, walk-in shower accessibility options and accessibility bathroom permits.

Water & materials

NID Water in Lake Wildwood Is Soft

Nevada Irrigation District treated and distributed more than 2.9 billion gallons of surface water in 2025, water that originates in the Sierra Nevada snowpack (state system CA2910023 for Lake Wildwood). Hardness in the 10s of milligrams per liter is soft by any common measure, including the U.S. Geological Survey's under-60 threshold.

That leaves room for materials that hard water punishes: clear glass, polished stone and unlacquered finishes. A squeegee handles soap film on glass, and sealed stone needs only pH-neutral cleaners. For older homes, the more important water question is behind the wall — the age and condition of the supply lines and shower valve.

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!
