Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Westwood Lakes
If you’re planning Westwood Lakes Home Remodeling like a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or room addition, you’re probably wondering who actually shows up, what it will cost, and whether the number on the contract will survive contact with the walls. Those are the right questions. A full kitchen remodel in Westwood Lakes typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, and a bathroom lands between $9,000 and $28,000. The bigger variable isn’t the finishes on day one, it’s what’s behind the drywall in a home built between the late 1970s and early 1990s.
We’re Mason Remodeling, and as a General Contractor, we serve Westwood Lakes with a simple operating rule: written price before work starts, named crew before arrival, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise after completion. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Westwood Lakes’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners in Westwood Lakes tell us the same thing on repeat: they’ve had quotes that looked great until the wall came open. A 1985 ranch off SW 130th Avenue is a different animal than a newer build in Miramar. We know those houses because we’ve worked in them. Cast-iron drain lines, aluminum branch wiring, load-bearing headers a previous owner may have notched to make a pass-through fit. None of that scares us, but all of it needs to be priced or at least priced for discovery before we close a wall.
Every project here starts with a written price, not a verbal number. That’s the Threshold Group standard and it isn’t waived, ever. Before any crew member parks on your street in Westwood Lakes, you get their name and photo by text or email. They show up in a clean marked uniform, with a photo ID badge at the door. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. Not a pro-rated fix. Not a re-inspection fee. We come back.
Isaac Pruett leads the Mason Remodeling team and holds every job to the same written-scope discipline whether it’s a $5,000 small bath or a $130,000 addition.
Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Westwood Lakes
When a Westwood Lakes homeowner calls about Construction Company work, they’re usually deciding whether a house is worth improving or replacing. That’s a real decision for a lot of 1980s-era properties here. The bones are often good, the layout is dated, and the finishes are tired. Our job as the construction company you hire is to assess what’s structural, what’s cosmetic, and what the sequence should be so you don’t end up with new tile over a failing subfloor.
Room Additions and Structural Work
We handle room additions in Westwood Lakes from foundation to roof tie-in, including permit drawings and inspections. The numbers on a full addition here run $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation type, and whether you’re tying into an existing truss roof. We don’t start carpentry until rough-in and subfloor corrections pass inspection.
Because so many Westwood Lakes homes share the same 2×4 wall construction and 30-to-40-year-old rough-in, discovery matters more than ever. We write change-order triggers into the initial scope, not the fine print.
Driveways, Patios, and Hardscaping
Paver driveways in Westwood Lakes run $7,000 – $18,000, concrete $4,500 – $12,000, and a paver patio $3,500 – $11,000. We coordinate with Belgard and Unilock material lines so the color and finish you pick is the one that shows up.
Remodeling Contractor in Westwood Lakes
Hiring a Remodeling Contractor in Westwood Lakes is not a singular job title, it’s a sequence of scopes: demo, rough-in, inspection, drywall, finish. The contractor’s real value is in the sequence and in the written scope that holds it together. That’s the part people get wrong. A loose verbal allowance on countertops, for example, becomes a surprise the moment you choose Cambria or Silestone.
Kitchen and Bath Sequence
We scope kitchens by the actual opening, not by square footage dreams. A small kitchen in Westwood Lakes runs $9,000 – $20,000; a full kitchen $14,000 – $45,000. Cabinets (KraftMaid or Wellborn) run $4,000 – $13,000 installed. Countertops $2,000 – $6,500. A backsplash $800 – $2,500. Walk-in showers $4,500 – $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion $3,500 – $10,000. Those numbers are written into the line items, not buried in an allowance that grows.
Change Orders That Shouldn’t Surprise You
Here’s the difference. We price the likely hidden conditions in Westwood Lakes: cast-iron drain replacement, aluminum wiring remediation, load-bearing header corrections. You’ll see that as a discovery line item. Then if it isn’t needed, you don’t pay it. If it is needed, you approved it in writing before it happens.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lakes
We install and service specification-grade materials from a short list: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and Owens Corning roofing, and Belgard or Unilock hardscaping. For Westwood Lakes customers, this means we know lead times, we know which lines hold up in South Florida humidity, and we can often source replacement parts locally without waiting on a freight delivery. You won’t see us pushing a generic line just to hit a number.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Westwood Lakes Homes
- Loose verbal allowances on finishes. The quote says “countertops included” but doesn’t say which grade. Then the upgrade to Silestone or Cambria arrives as a change order. We line-item the actual material by name before you sign.
- Notched or cut load-bearing headers. We see it in Westwood Lakes ranches where someone opened a pass-through or added an island and cut the header to fit, no permit, no engineer, no inspection. It fails rough-in every time and it’s dangerous until corrected.
- Skipped permits on interior work. Some contractors tell homeowners permits don’t matter inside the house. They matter when you sell. Unpermitted rough-in has no inspector sign-off and it surfaces at closing.
- Starting finish work before the subfloor is corrected. New tile over a flexing 1980s subfloor lasts about a year. We correct the rough-in and subfloor first, then sequence the finish work. That’s the only order that holds a warranty.

FAQs About General Contractor in Westwood Lakes
A kitchen remodel in Westwood Lakes includes demolition, rough-in correction if the home is a 1980s build, plumbing and electrical updates, permit inspections, drywall, cabinet installation, countertop fabrication and install, backsplash, and finish plumbing. The inspector checks rough-in before we close walls, and final after finishes. You get a written scope with each phase listed so you know what happens and in what order.
Because many quotes are built for a “typical” Florida home that doesn’t match the actual housing stock here. Westwood Lakes was largely built between the late 1970s and early 1990s, so original cast-iron drains and 2×4 walls are common. A quote that ignores those conditions will be wrong the first time a wall opens. We price the likely hidden conditions as a written discovery line item so you aren’t surprised.
Yes, structural, electrical, plumbing, and any work that moves or opens a load-bearing wall requires a permit and inspection in Westwood Lakes. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and you get sign-off before we close the wall. Skipping permits saves nothing if you plan to sell later; unpermitted rough-in shows up in a title review. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you what your specific job triggers.
A small bathroom in Westwood Lakes is usually a 2 – 3 week sequence. A full kitchen with discovery work is 4 – 8 weeks. A room addition can run 10 – 16 weeks depending on foundation and permit review. The biggest variable in Westwood Lakes is whether we have to correct rough-in that wasn’t visible during the estimate. That’s normal for the housing stock here, and it’s why we write the sequence into the contract instead of promising an impossible date.
A documented change in scope: cast-iron drain replacement that was hidden, aluminum wiring remediation, a notched header that needs a proper engineer-stamped fix, or you upgrading a finish during the job. Those are real changes, written on a change order you sign before the work continues. What won’t make the price go up: us already having the job. The written price on a standard scope holds. For an exact quote on your specific project, call (803) 680-2547; estimates are free and in writing.
If you’re planning work in Westwood Lakes, get the scope and the price in writing before anyone swings a hammer. We’ve built our reputation in this exact housing stock, and the first call is the cheapest part of the project. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
