Truckee Bathroom Remodeling at a Glance

Truckee's winters set the rules for its bathrooms: NOAA's Truckee station averages 229 freezing days and more than 207 inches of snow a year. Nearly half of the town's homes are second homes, most were built between 1970 and 1999, and the water comes from Truckee Donner PUD's deep wells at a moderate 78.0 mg/L. Permits come from the Town of Truckee. Oakwood Remodeling Group is a bathroom-only contractor, license #1125321.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Truckee?

Truckee figures from our pricing engine: $8,000 – $34,500+ for a shower remodel, $7,000 – $28,500+ for a tub-to-shower conversion, $13,000 – $51,500+ for a full bathroom and $24,000 – $86,500+ for a primary suite. Radiant floor heat and moving supply lines out of cold walls are separate lines.

Is Truckee water hard?

Moderately. 99.0% of Truckee residents are on Truckee Donner Public Utility District water, pumped from 10 deep wells; the district's 2025 testing averaged 78.0 mg/L, or 4.5 grains per gallon. That is enough to leave light spotting on glass and polished chrome.

Does a Truckee bathroom remodel need a permit?

Usually. The Town of Truckee Building and Safety Division says interior remodels can require a permit even without structural changes unless the work is purely cosmetic, such as painting, flooring, cabinets or countertops, and that most interior remodels need existing and proposed plans.

How cold does it get in Truckee?

NOAA's Truckee station records an average of 229 days a year with a low at or below freezing and a December–February average low of 16.3°F, with 207 inches of snow in a normal year. Pipe routing and floor temperature matter in every Truckee bathroom.

How old are Truckee homes?

Mostly 1970–1999: 64.9% of homes, evenly spread across the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with a median of 1989. 24.5% were built since 2000 (ACS 2020–2024).

Which areas around Truckee do you serve?

All of Truckee, plus Tahoe City, Olympic Valley, Alpine Meadows, Kings Beach and Tahoe Vista.

Local housing stock

Truckee Homes: Built 1970–1999, Half Used Part-Time

Lodge-style bathroom with exposed wood beams, a copper soaking tub, a slate-look floor and a wood double vanity

Truckee is an incorporated Nevada County town of about 17,066 residents across 32.3 square miles. Building came in three even decades — 19.2% of homes from the 1970s, 22.7% from the 1980s and 23.1% from the 1990s — followed by 24.5% since 2000. Only 10.6% predate 1970.

81.4% of homes are detached houses, 73.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied and the median owner-occupied value is $947,900. With nearly half of all homes used part of the year, a Truckee bathroom often has to cope with heavy holiday use and long, cold empty stretches.

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!
