What does a bathroom remodel cost in Fruitridge Pocket?

From our pricing engine: $10,000 – $43,500+ for a small bathroom, $7,000 – $28,500+ for a tub-to-shower conversion, $8,000 – $34,500+ for a shower remodel and $13,000 – $51,500+ for a full bathroom. Replacing galvanized pipe or a cast-iron drain in a 1940s or 1950s house is a separate line.

Is Fruitridge Pocket part of the City of Sacramento?

No. It is an unincorporated pocket of Sacramento County, bordered by the City of Sacramento and the Lemon Hill area, with Fruitridge Road and Stockton Boulevard running through it. Building permits therefore come from Sacramento County, not the city.

Is Fruitridge Pocket water hard?

It depends on the meter. 89.6% of residents get City of Sacramento water, which averaged 83 mg/L (moderately hard) in the 2025 report. The other 10.4% are on California American Water's Fruitridge Vista wells, which averaged 169 ppm — hard — in its 2024 report.

How old are Fruitridge Pocket homes?

Mostly mid-century: the median was built in 1957, 56.2% before 1960 and 76.8% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). 24.4% are from the 1950s and 18.7% from the 1940s.

Who issues bathroom permits in Fruitridge Pocket?

The Sacramento County Building Permits & Inspection Division. Work that moves plumbing, adds circuits or changes framing needs a permit.

Which nearby areas do you serve?

All of Fruitridge Pocket and Lemon Hill, plus Sacramento, Florin and Elk Grove.

Reviewed against U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020–2024 estimates and 2020 blocks, state water-system boundaries, the City of Sacramento's 2025 Consumer Confidence Report and California American Water's 2024 Fruitridge Vista report. Pricing and permit details: Oakwood Remodeling Group, license #1125321.

Local housing stock

Fruitridge Pocket Homes: Small Mid-Century Houses

This is a compact, unincorporated neighborhood of about 6,095 people, bordered by the City of Sacramento and Lemon Hill, with Fruitridge Road, Stockton Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard among its streets. Building here happened mostly in two waves: 18.7% of homes are from the 1940s and 24.4% from the 1950s.

It is a young neighborhood in a mid-century shell — the median resident is 36.3, and 38.5% of households include children. 57.0% of homes are owner-occupied, and the median owner-occupied value is $362,200. Bathrooms have to be durable, easy to clean and fit into small floor plans.

Water hardness

Fruitridge Pocket Water: Moderately Hard or Hard

UtilityResidentsHardness
City of Sacramento89.6%Average 83 mg/L; 34–63 from river plants, 15–154 from wells (2025)
Cal Am – Fruitridge Vista10.4%Average 169 ppm, range 36–340 (2024 report)

The City of Sacramento says about 80% of its supply comes from the American and Sacramento rivers and about 20% from wells, so a city customer's hardness shifts with the source. Cal Am's Fruitridge Vista system, by contrast, runs mainly on deep wells. On hard water, pick matte or brushed fixtures, coated glass and a darker grout, and consider a softener; on city water those choices are optional. The city's report is on its Consumer Confidence Report page.

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!
