Where we work: Auburn and the Sierra Foothills
Our Auburn location remodels bathrooms across Auburn and the surrounding Placer County and Nevada County foothill communities.
- Free in-home consultation
- Line-item written estimate
- Licensed: CSLB #1125321

Bathrooms and showers only, within reach of Auburn.
One focus — bathrooms and showers — in one connected territory. Our office is on Blocker Drive in Auburn, which is close enough to every community below to come back if a question comes up after the job.
These communities sit on four connected foothill corridors along I-80 and Highway 49. Our Sierra Foothills service territory guide maps the whole area, including which authority issues your building permit.
The Sacramento region — including Rocklin and Roseville — is covered by our Rocklin office at oakwoodremodel.com, same company, same licence.

Six offices cover these ten communities. Which one applies depends on city limits, not on your mailing address — and a bathroom remodel that moves a drain or a valve is permitted work.
| If you live in | Your permit comes from |
|---|---|
| Auburn, inside the city limits | City of Auburn Building Division (official page) |
| North Auburn, Meadow Vista, Newcastle, Penryn | Placer County |
| Loomis | Town of Loomis (official page) |
| Colfax | City of Colfax (official page) |
| Grass Valley, inside the city limits | City of Grass Valley (official page) |
| Lake of the Pines, Alta Sierra, Lake Wildwood — and Nevada City, which contracts its building services to the county | Nevada County (official page) |
Lake of the Pines has an Auburn mailing address — ZIP 95602 — but sits in Nevada County. The mail says Auburn; the permit does not.
Alta Sierra shares ZIP 95949 with Grass Valley, so addresses read “Grass Valley, CA 95949”. Alta Sierra is unincorporated, so the permit comes from Nevada County rather than the city.
Nevada City contracts its building department services to Nevada County: you apply with the city, then the city-approved plans go to the county, which issues the permit.
We pull the permit as part of the job, so this is ours to get right. It is still worth knowing which office you are dealing with before anyone quotes you a schedule — and what the fee is built from, which our cost guide sets out authority by authority.
Ask — the smaller foothill communities count too.
Applegate, Weimar, Ophir, Alta, Penn Valley and the rural addresses along I-80 and Highway 49 don't have pages of their own. Send us the address and we'll tell you plainly whether it is in range and which office issues the permit.
The Sierra Foothills territory guide lists those communities corridor by corridor, with the permit authority for each.

Share a few details about your home and project and we'll let you know whether your address fits our schedule, then take it from there.
