The work usually takes three to eight weeks once permits and HOA approvals are in hand. We’re Mason Remodeling, founded in 2004 and part of the Threshold Group family, and we’ve helped homeowners across Lincoln plan, price, and complete remodels without surprises.

What makes the difference between a smooth remodel and one that drags on in Lincoln comes down to one thing most contractors skip: getting the approval layer done right before demo day. In Sun City Lincoln Hills, that means HOA architectural review and city permitting running in parallel. In Twelve Bridges, it means checking setback and structural requirements with the City of Lincoln. We know the process here because we’ve done it hundreds of times, and because our Home Remodeling team leads with the paperwork and the written price. That’s how a remodel stays on schedule.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Lincoln’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Lincoln homeowners tell us the same thing in different ways: they want to know who’s coming, what it’ll cost, and that someone will stand behind the work. We answer all three before the first tool is unpacked. Every Mason Remodeling crew member is background-checked and identity-verified. You’ll receive the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and a photo ID badge is shown at your door under The Threshold Standard. No exceptions.
Our Lincoln projects carry a written price delivered before work begins. That’s not a promotion. It’s how we’ve operated since Isaac Pruett started leading Mason Remodeling.

A live person answers our phones around the clock, every day of the year. No call trees, no voicemail loops. Just a person who can help you schedule your free estimate.

Full Home Remodel in Lincoln
A full home remodel in Lincoln brings every part of the house up to the same standard, and it’s usually the right call when a home in Sun City Lincoln Hills or Twelve Bridges has original finishes, tired plumbing, and a floor plan that no longer fits how the owners live. The scope usually includes kitchen and bath demolition, flooring, wall and ceiling work, door and window replacement, and finish carpentry, often in phases so you can keep living in the home. Expect $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, material grade, and how much structural work comes up after the walls come down.
Kitchen-First Full Remodels
Most Lincoln full remodels start in the kitchen because that’s where the household gathers and where the older homes show their age first. We’ve replaced builder-grade cabinets with KraftMaid or Wellborn lines, set Cambria or Silestone counters, and kept the permit and inspection paperwork moving so the project never stalls. A kitchen within a full remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000.
Bath and Laundry Roll-Ins
When the full remodel includes a bath update, we typically fold in a walk-in shower, new vanity, and fixture swap while the plumbing is already exposed. That’s more efficient than doing it later and keeps the tile and trim work continuous. A bath portion adds $9,000 to $28,000 depending on finishes and whether you’re converting a tub to a shower.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Lincoln
Hiring a home remodeling contractor in Lincoln means hiring someone who carries both the license and the local know-how: city inspection sequencing, Sun City HOA submittals, and the reality of working in homes built across three decades with very different framing and rough-in styles. We’re a general contractor, which means we schedule the trades, order materials, pull permits, and call inspections. You get one written price and one point of accountability, with a 365-Day Done Right Promise behind it.
Written Scope, Written Price
Before we start, we walk the project with you and put every line item in writing. Allowances are ranges, not guesses. If you upgrade from a standard cabinet line to custom maple and a Cambria Britannica slab, you’ll know the difference in dollars before the order goes in. No change-order gut punch at the end.
Inspection Coordination
Lincoln’s building department requires rough-in inspections before walls get closed. We schedule those before we ever hang drywall. In Sun City Lincoln Hills, we coordinate the HOA architectural submittal with the city permit so neither one sits waiting on the other. That sequencing is where a contractor proves their value.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lincoln
Lincoln homeowners often ask about the difference between nationally marketed prefab ADU companies like Abodu or Mighty Buildings and a traditional remodeler like us. The difference is marriage to process versus flexibility on an existing, older home. Prefab works for a clean backyard build; it doesn’t solve the 2004-era Sun City kitchen that still has its original plumbing rough-in. We carry specification-grade cabinetry lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn, surfaces from Cambria and Silestone, and fixtures from Kohler and Moen, so the upgrade path from builder-grade to your actual wish list is one written line item, not a separate design retainer.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Lincoln Homes
- HOA submittal skipped in Sun City Lincoln Hills. The owners start demo, a neighbor flags it, the HOA issues a stop-work order, and the project sits for three weeks. We submit the HOA package at the same time as the city permit so approval windows run concurrently.
- Allowances treated as final prices. A quote lists “countertop allowance $2,500.” The homeowner picks a $4,800 Cambria slab and is shocked by the final invoice. Our written price shows the allowance as a range and the exact cost to upgrade before you commit.
- Walls closed before inspection. The rough-in doesn’t get signed off, then the inspector requires the wall opened back up to verify. We schedule the rough-in inspection before drywall, every time.
- Builder-grade plumbing at end of life. Lincoln homes built before 2010 often have original gate valves and old supply lines. Replacing those while walls are open is cheaper than after. We note it in the written scope so it’s not a surprise add-on.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Lincoln
Yes. Any kitchen or bath remodel that moves plumbing, electrical, or walls in Lincoln requires a city permit and a rough-in inspection before walls are closed. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections as part of our written scope. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll confirm exactly what your project needs.
A kitchen or bath remodel in Lincoln runs three to eight weeks after permits and HOA approvals are issued. In Sun City Lincoln Hills, the HOA architectural submittal can add two to four weeks before demo starts, so we kick that process off on day one. Whole-home remodels run two to five months depending on scope.
Allowances are dollar ranges set aside for finish materials that haven’t been selected yet, like tile, counters, or fixtures. The danger is when a contractor writes an allowance as a fixed number and you pick something nicer. Our written price shows the allowance range and the exact upgrade amount before you commit, so the final invoice never surprises you.
No. Sun City Lincoln Hills requires architectural review for most interior remodels that change structure, plumbing, or exterior-facing elements. Starting before approval gets you a stop-work order. We submit the HOA package and the Lincoln city permit at the same time, so the wait runs in parallel instead of back-to-back. Call (803) 680-2547 to get started.
Yes. Moving a wall means structural engineering, a beam, and additional inspections, and it can add $5,000 to $20,000 depending on the wall and what’s inside it. We’ll tell you before you commit, in writing. That’s the only way a Lincoln homeowner should hear about a price change.
