Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Granada Hills
When you’re planning construction work on a Granada Hills home, you need a general contractor who understands this specific terrain: the high-fire-severity zone plan checks, the mix of 1950s ranches and newer hillside builds, and the permitting reality that follows every roof, addition, or garage conversion here. We’re Mason Remodeling, part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, founded in 2004. Led by Isaac Pruett, our General Contractor team handles kitchens, baths, whole-home remodels, additions, and ADU-style conversions across Granada Hills, including the neighborhoods off Balboa Boulevard, Rinaldi Street, and San Fernando Mission Boulevard. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Granada Hills’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Granada Hills homeowners tell us the same thing: they want to know exactly who is walking through the door. Every Mason Remodeling crew member is background-checked and identity-verified under The Threshold Standard. Before your scheduled visit, you receive the technician’s name and photo. When they arrive at your door in Granada Hills, they show a photo ID badge and arrive in a clean, marked uniform. No surprises, no strangers.
Our written price guarantee matters more here than in most places. Granada Hills sits in a designated high-fire-severity zone, and that means exterior work like roof replacement or window changes triggers a wildfire exposure review during plan check. We’ve handled dozens of these reviews. We know what triggers them, what documentation the inspectors want, and how to keep a project moving without burning weeks. Isaac Pruett and the team coordinate every permit and inspection, and we hand you a written scope of work with an allowance sheet before demolition begins. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, every day, including holidays. That’s not a call center. It’s us.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Granada Hills
Hire a General Contractor in Granada Hills when the project involves more than one trade or requires structural, electrical, or plumbing changes. That’s when you need someone who owns the schedule, pulls the permits, coordinates every inspection, and carries the liability. In Granada Hills, that often means a kitchen remodel at $14,000 – $45,000, a bathroom remodel at $9,000 – $28,000, or a garage conversion at $30,000 – $80,000 depending on scope and finishes. We deliver a written line-item price before any tool is unpacked, and that number does not drift upward without a written change order you approve first.
Permits and Plan Check
Most structural work in Granada Hills requires city permits through LA Department of Building and Safety. We pull permits ourselves, schedule each inspection, and walk the final sign-off with you. For exterior work in the fire zone, we handle the wildfire exposure review as a normal step, not a surprise.
The Written Scope and Allowance Sheet
Before we start, you get a written scope of work that lists every line item and a separate allowance sheet that sets a specific dollar amount for fixtures and finishes. Pick Cambria instead of the standard quartz? That’s fine. You’ll know exactly what it adds before you commit, not after the invoice.
General Contractor Services in Granada Hills
General Contractor Services in Granada Hills cover the full rebuild sequence: demolition, structural framing, rough plumbing and electrical, insulation and drywall, finish carpentry, and final inspection sign-off. We handle kitchens, baths, whole-home remodels, room additions, and ADU-style garage conversions. A whole-home remodel in Granada Hills typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage and the condition of existing framing and foundation work. An ADU construction project runs $90,000 – $220,000, and a garage conversion lands at $30,000 – $80,000. Roof replacement on a Granada Hills home runs $8,000 – $20,000, with material choice heavily influenced by fire-zone requirements.
Garage Conversions and ADU Work
We recently handled a garage conversion off White Oak Avenue where the goal was a legal ADU-style living space rather than just a finished room. The crew replaced the old slab-on-grade garage floor, built up the subfloor, set new rough-in for plumbing and electrical, and coordinated framing changes around the existing load-bearing wall. The homeowner wanted KraftMaid cabinetry and a Silestone countertop in the kitchenette and Blanco sink in the bath; we completed the permits and inspection sign-off, then walked the punch list with the owner before handing over the keys.
Roof and Exterior Work in the Fire Zone
Granada Hills sits in a high-fire-severity zone where exterior construction, including roof replacement, decks, and window changes, triggers a wildfire exposure review during plan check. This is a real step in the process, not a penalty, and it affects both the calendar and material choices. We specify Class A roof assemblies, ember-resistant vents, and tempered glass as standard practice on these jobs, and we schedule inspections around that reality from day one.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Granada Hills Homes
- Foundation and subfloor surprises on older ranches. Many Granada Hills homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and previous unpermitted work often left slabs uneven or framing out of plumb. We find this in maybe one out of three remodels, and it’s the single biggest source of change orders when it’s not flagged upfront.
- Permit delays on garage conversions. Homeowners sometimes want to skip permits to start fast. That’s a mistake here. We’ve seen failed inspection sign-offs and tear-outs that cost more than the original permit would have.
- Scope creep on kitchen and bath selections. A homeowner approves a standard quartz allowance, then falls in love with Cambria or Silestone at the showroom. That’s legitimate, but it changes the price. Our allowance sheet gives you that number before the order goes in.
- Fire-zone plan check surprises on exterior work. Roof and window replacements in Granada Hills trigger a wildfire exposure review. If your contractor doesn’t know that going in, you lose weeks and potentially pay for a re-spec. We build it into the schedule from the start.

FAQs About General Contractor in Granada Hills
Yes. A garage conversion that changes the use of the space, adds electrical or plumbing, or alters load-bearing walls requires a city permit in Granada Hills. We pull the permit, manage inspections, and get final sign-off. Skipping it creates a liability if you ever sell, and we’ve seen unpermitted work require expensive tear-out to pass a later inspection. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through the exact permit path for your project.
Plan on six to ten weeks for a full kitchen remodel in Granada Hills. The wildcards: permit review, fire-zone plan check if windows or exterior walls are involved, and any concealed foundation or framing issues behind the old cabinets. We build two solid weeks of buffer into every schedule because older Granada Hills homes rarely match their as-built drawings exactly. Call for a written timeline tailored to your house.
A change order is a written document that adjusts your contract price for a specific change you approve. In Granada Hills, legitimate change orders usually come from two places: you changing a finish allowance (like moving from standard quartz to Cambria), or concealed conditions like a slab that needs leveling before flooring goes down. We never charge a change order without a written line-item breakdown you sign first. Call (803) 680-2547 to review what your project might add.
Yes, a roof replacement in Granada Hills requires a permit, and the fire zone absolutely matters. LA Department of Building and Safety triggers a wildfire exposure review on exterior work in this area, which means your roof assembly needs a Class A fire rating, ember-resistant vents, and the right underlayment. We spec GAF and CertainTeed materials that clear review without resubmission, and we schedule the inspection sequence so you’re not waiting weeks between phases. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free roof replacement estimate.
An ADU construction project in Granada Hills typically takes nine to fourteen months from initial design to final inspection sign-off. A home addition runs six to twelve months depending on scope. Two things add time here: the wildfire exposure review if exterior wall or roof changes are involved, and structural corrections on older homes where the existing framing or slab needs reinforcement. We give you a written schedule with inspection milestones, and we honor it. Call (803) 680-2547 to get your project on the calendar.
