Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Madera
As a General Contractor construction company serving Madera, we handle projects that require structural work, permitting, and coordination across multiple trades. This includes room additions, ADU construction, garage conversions, and load-bearing wall removals. These are the jobs where getting the scope right up front matters most, because mistakes get expensive fast.
Madera’s housing stock drives a lot of what we see. Most homes in the city’s older neighborhoods, from Sunrise Avenue to Lake Street, sit on raised foundations rather than slabs. That means subfloor access is easier but structural changes require real engineering. When you open a wall in a 1960s ranch, you’re usually dealing with load-bearing framing that needs a beam, a footing, and a Madera County permit. A room addition in Madera typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and finishes.
Structural Changes and Additions
Opening a load-bearing wall, adding a second story, or extending a footprint means pulling permits through the Madera County Community & Economic Development Department. We handle that entire process, including structural engineering review and inspection scheduling. Budget for the structural work itself, not just the visible finishes.
Subfloor and Foundation Scope
Raised foundations in older Madera homes often hide rot, sagging joists, or undersized supports. We scope the subfloor during demo and price the repair as a written change order before any work proceeds. You’ll never get a surprise invoice at the end.
Remodeling Contractor in Madera
Finding a General Contractor in Madera who handles remodeling work means looking for someone who can price your project accurately before demo starts. That’s what we do. Our Madera remodeling work spans kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations, and the finishing work that goes with them.
A full kitchen remodel in Madera typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. A smaller kitchen refresh starts around $9,000. Bathroom remodels range from $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. These numbers reflect actual Madera market pricing, including the raised-foundation subfloor work that often surfaces once we open things up.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Every kitchen and bath remodel we complete in Madera starts with a written scope of work and a written price. That document covers allowances for cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and tile. If you choose a Cambria island top or KraftMaid cabinets, those costs are line-itemed in the bid, not guessed at later.
Whole-Home Renovations
Whole-home remodels in Madera wrap multiple scopes into one permit package and one schedule. We sequence the work so you’re not living in a construction site longer than necessary, and every trade is coordinated through a single point of contact. Expect a written schedule as part of your proposal.
Trusted Brands We Service in Madera
Mason Remodeling works with specification-grade material partners so Madera homeowners get professional products, not big-box compromises. For cabinetry, we order through KraftMaid and Wellborn. For countertops, Cambria and Silestone. Those partnerships matter on Madera remodels because lead times and availability vary by product line, and we can give you accurate timing based on what’s actually in their California distribution pipeline. We keep local stone samples in our Central Valley office and bring them to your Madera home during the estimate. No guesswork on color or finish.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Madera Homes
- Skipping a written scope of work: Verbal bids invite arguments when the job changes mid-stream. On Madera ranch remodels, we see this constantly. Homeowners compare ballpark numbers, pick the cheapest, then discover the “allowance” for cabinets was $2,000 short. We write down every allowance and every finish selection before work starts.
- Permits pulled late or not at all: Wall-opening work and rough-in plumbing in older Madera homes require Madera County permits and inspection sign-off. Skipping this stalls the project and can force rework after drywall is hung. We pull permits before demo begins and schedule inspections at the right points in the sequence.
- Underestimating subfloor repair on raised foundations: Bidding a kitchen or bath on the assumption the subfloor is sound is risky in Madera. Once demo starts, rot and sag surface. A proper scope includes a subfloor contingency line, so the repair cost is already budgeted, not sprung on you after the fact.
- Change orders without updated pricing: When a homeowner wants to add a window or shift a wall, the contractor should issue a written change order before doing the work. On Madera remodels we see too many cases where the change happens verbally and the invoice shows up with a number nobody agreed to. Every change we make gets a written price first.

FAQs About General Contractor in Madera
Yes, in most cases you do. Madera County issues building permits through its Community & Economic Development Department, and any structural change, plumbing relocation, electrical work, or wall removal requires a permit and inspection sign-off. Kitchens and baths involve enough rough-in work that unpermitted remodels are both risky and common in older Madera homes. We pull permits before demo starts and handle every inspection. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll confirm what your specific project requires.
We build a written scope with a priced contingency line for subfloor repair, framing corrections, and other conditions that only surface after demo. On raised-foundation Madera ranch homes, subfloor work is the most common hidden cost. The contingency has a stated maximum, and we issue a written change order before any work beyond the original scope begins. You’ll always see the number before we spend it.
A full kitchen remodel in Madera runs $14,000 to $45,000, with small kitchen refreshes starting at $9,000. The spread depends on cabinet grade, countertop selection, structural changes, and whether we’re repairing a raised-foundation subfloor during demo. KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops push toward the upper end. A budget kitchen with stock cabinets and laminate counters lands near the lower end. Call (803) 680-2547 for a written price on your specific kitchen.
Most Madera kitchen remodels take 4 to 8 weeks from permit issuance to final walkthrough. Bathroom remodels run 3 to 6 weeks. The Madera County permit office review cycle typically adds one to two weeks before demo starts, and structural changes like beam installation add inspection days. We give you a written schedule with your proposal, and we update it if anything shifts. No vague “it’ll be done when it’s done” answers.
Yes. Garage conversions in Madera run $30,000 to $80,000 depending on ceiling height, insulation requirements, and whether we’re adding plumbing for a bathroom. ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000 for detached units, with the spread driven by square footage, foundation type, and utility connections. Madera County permits both, and we handle the full package including site plan review. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk through what your lot can accommodate.
