Applegate Bathroom Remodeling at a Glance

Applegate is an unincorporated Placer County community, listed by USGS as a populated place, 8.6 miles north-northeast of Auburn at about 1,999 feet. It has no Census boundary, and the water map is a patchwork: most test points around it, including the hamlet itself, are outside any public system, while the rest fall in small districts with soft water. Placer County issues building permits. Oakwood Remodeling Group remodels bathrooms only, license #1125321.

What does an Applegate bathroom remodel cost?

For Applegate our engine shows full bathrooms at $13,000 – $51,500+, primary suites at $24,000 – $86,500+, showers at $8,000 – $34,500+ and tub-to-shower conversions at $7,000 – $28,500+. Any well-water treatment is priced on its own.

Is Applegate on public water or wells?

It varies by parcel. Of 25 points we tested about 2 km apart, 15 — including the Applegate hamlet point — are outside any public water system, and 10 fall in small districts: Midway Heights, Meadow Vista, PCWA Weimar or Foresthill.

Is the district water hard?

No. PCWA's Weimar system and Midway Heights report 10.7 mg/L, Meadow Vista County Water District 20 ppm and Foresthill PUD 33.1 ppm — all soft. Private wells vary and need their own test.

How cold does Applegate get?

The nearest NOAA stations bracket it: Auburn, 8.1 miles southwest, averages 20 freezing nights a year and Colfax, 6.7 miles north-northeast, averages 37.

Who issues bathroom permits in Applegate?

Applegate is unincorporated, so permits come from the county: Placer County Building Services.

Where else near Applegate do you work?

Meadow Vista, Colfax, Weimar, Dutch Flat and Auburn.

Reviewed against USGS place names and elevation data, state water-system, Census boundary and FEMA flood maps tested at 25 points, the water quality reports of the four nearby districts, and NOAA climate normals. Pricing and permits: Oakwood Remodeling Group, license #1125321.

Because the Census Bureau draws no boundary around Applegate, there are no official housing counts; we evaluate each bathroom, and each water supply, at the house. Related: choosing a showerhead for your pressure.

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!
