Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Kendale Lakes
When a Kendale Lakes homeowner calls us about a kitchen remodel, bathroom conversion, or room addition, the first question is almost always the same: what will this actually cost, and who exactly is coming to my house? Our answer is a written price delivered before any work starts, and a crew you’ll recognize by name and photo before they ring the bell. Mason Remodeling has handled general contracting across Kendale Lakes since 2004, and we know the 1970s and 80s housing stock here well enough to flag cost drivers before demolition, not after. Call (803) 680-2547 and you’ll reach a live person who can schedule your free estimate.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Our General Contractor team has built its reputation in Kendale Lakes on one principle: the price we put in writing is the price you pay. No verbal estimates that grow on the final bill. No vague scope of work that leaves room for surprise invoices. Every project, from a small bathroom vanity swap to a full garage conversion, gets a written line-item proposal before a single tool is unpacked.
The crew coming to your home follows what we call the Threshold Standard. Every technician is background-checked and identity-verified. You receive their name and photo before the visit. They arrive in a clean marked uniform and show a photo ID badge at the door. If you’re home alone or have young children, you’ll know exactly who you’re opening the door to, and there’s never an unannounced stranger.
Kendale Lakes customers also know about our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost. That’s written into every contract, including what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long: 365 days from the completion date. A free return visit is provided if a repair or installation fails, no dispute process, no conditions.
Isaac Pruett, who leads our team, has built the company’s approach around answering two questions honestly: what does this cost, and who will be in my house. That’s the entire job, really.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Kendale Lakes
Hire a General Contractor in Kendale Lakes when your project touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or anything that needs a permit, and you’ll spend less time chasing subcontractors and more time knowing one accountable team runs the whole job. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and coordinate trades, so you’re not the one calling three separate plumbers and an electrician on a Saturday.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
In Kendale Lakes, a full kitchen remodel typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, while a small kitchen lands between $9,000 and $20,000. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 to $28,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion is usually $3,500 to $10,000. Those ranges assume 1970s-era subfloor and wiring are intact, which they often aren’t, so we’ll inspect before we quote.
Room Additions and Garage Conversions
A home addition in Kendale Lakes starts around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 depending on foundation work, roofline tie-in, and whether the existing panel can handle the added load. Garage conversions run $30,000 to $80,000. These are permitted projects, and we handle the drawings, the permits, and the inspections from day one.
General Contractor Services in Kendale Lakes
General Contractor Services in Kendale Lakes cover the full arc of a project: scope definition, permit submission, demolition, rough-in, finish work, and final inspection. We’re the single point of accountability, so when a change order is needed, you hear it from us, with the cost and the reason, before the work proceeds.
Complete Home Renovations
Whole-home remodels in this area often start with a specific discovery: the original 1970s or 80s framing is solid, but the electrical and plumbing are not. We’ll map the full scope before the first wall opens, including panel capacity, branch wiring, and drain lines. That’s how you avoid a $6,000 surprise in the middle of a $45,000 kitchen.
Driveway and Outdoor Hardscape Work
Paver driveway installation in Kendale Lakes typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, concrete driveways $4,500 to $12,000, and paver patios $3,500 to $11,000. We use specification-grade hardscape products from Belgard and Techo-Bloc, so you’re not limited to whatever the big-box store stocks.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Aluminum branch wiring from the 1970s. Kendale Lakes homes built in that era often have aluminum wiring running to kitchen and bath circuits, which doesn’t meet current code. It triggers a permit revision and an electrical inspection before we can close the wall.
- Undersized electrical panels. A 100-amp panel was standard in the 1980s. Add a modern kitchen with induction range, double oven, and five appliances, and you’ll likely need a service upgrade before your remodel passes inspection.
- Unpermitted past work. We’ve seen bathroom conversions and window swaps done years ago without permits. That surfaces at resale and requires retroactive permit work, which costs more than doing it right the first time.
- Scope-of-work ambiguity. A bid that says “replace vanity” but doesn’t mention subfloor condition or drain line compatibility is a dispute waiting to happen. We write line-item scopes so nothing is left to interpretation.

The biggest cost driver in Kendale Lakes is what’s inside your walls. Homes off SW 117th Avenue and around West Kendall Drive, built in the 1970s and early 80s, frequently need electrical work and subfloor repair that newer subdivisions don’t. A kitchen remodel at the low end of the range assumes you’re keeping the existing layout and the wiring is copper. If you’re moving walls, adding circuits, or the original aluminum branch wiring is still feeding the kitchen, the number moves up. We deliver a written price before any work starts, and we stand behind that number. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate and an honest walkthrough of what your specific house will need.
We were called to a 1978 ranch on SW 130th Avenue near Kendale Lakes Park where the plan was a simple kitchen update with KraftMaid cabinets and Silestone counters. Once we opened the wall, we found aluminum branch wiring feeding the kitchen circuit, so we pulled a permit revision and had an electrician run copper to that circuit with an inspection sign-off before our crew would hang cabinets. The client understood the change order once we framed it as an electrical safety requirement, not an upsell. That’s how a Kendale Lakes remodel should go: the problem gets named, the fix gets priced, and the work proceeds on schedule.

FAQs About General Contractor in Kendale Lakes
Yes. A tub-to-shower conversion changes the drain line configuration, which requires a plumbing permit and inspection, even if you’re not moving walls. Skipping the permit can flag the work at resale and cost more to correct later. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll handle the permit paperwork as part of the project.
Because Kendale Lakes homes built in the 1970s and 80s often have aluminum branch wiring, undersized electrical panels, and original plumbing that newer subdivisions don’t. A $14,000 kitchen in a 2015 build might be a $22,000 kitchen in a 1979 build once electrical and plumbing are brought to code. We’ll show you exactly where the money goes in writing before we start.
A standard bathroom remodel in Kendale Lakes takes three to five weeks from demolition to final inspection, assuming no hidden electrical or subfloor issues. If we need to pull a permit revision for aluminum wiring or replace a subfloor section, add a few days. We’ll give you a calendar at the start and keep it updated weekly.
We write it up, price it in writing, and get your approval before we proceed. No verbal agreements, no surprise invoices. If we open a wall and find something the original scope didn’t cover, you’ll see the exact cost and the reason before we do anything. The price we give you is the anchor; any change is documented and signed.
No, and you shouldn’t want to. Roof replacement requires a permit in Kendale Lakes, and unpermitted roof work is a red flag for insurers and buyers. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the work passes before we call it done. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through the whole process.
