Serving NorCal
Citrus Heights sits in the suburban wedge between Auburn Boulevard and Sunrise Avenue — a mid-century build-out where the overwhelming majority of the housing stock dates to 1965–1985. That era produced a lot of gunite pools, detached block garages, and concrete flatwork that's now at end of life. We do consistent pool removal and demo work throughout the Sunrise Manor, Sylvan Highlands, and Mariposa neighborhoods. Sacramento County's building department (building.saccounty.gov) handles permits here — not a city department — which affects timeline and submittal requirements.

Frequently asked questions
How much does pool removal cost in Citrus Heights?
Partial pool removal (demolish shell, fill with engineered soil, compact) runs $4,500–$8,500 for most residential gunite pools in Citrus Heights. Full removal adds $2,000–$4,000. Permits come from Sacramento County building department at building.saccounty.gov. Most pool demo permits are issued over the counter or within a few business days.
Who issues demolition permits in Citrus Heights?
Citrus Heights is a city but contracts building and safety services through Sacramento County. Demolition permits are submitted through the Sacramento County Building Permits & Inspections division at building.saccounty.gov, not through the City of Citrus Heights directly. We coordinate required permits for our scope.
Do you handle tree removal before demolition in Citrus Heights?
We coordinate tree removal, but Sacramento County has tree ordinances that protect certain oak species and size thresholds. We assess the tree inventory before any clearing, flag species that need county review, and work with a licensed arborist when required. Citrus Heights has mature valley oaks and ornamentals in many backyards — this is a common step on larger jobs.
