Mason Remodeling handles residential construction in Temple City, CA, from mid-century ranch homes off Las Tunas Drive to the larger custom builds near Live Oak Park.

If you’re pricing a project in Temple City right now, call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through what it should cost.
Why Temple City Homes Are Different
Temple City’s housing stock runs more toward original-condition 1940s and 1950s post-war builds than newer construction, which means remodeling work often uncovers galvanized plumbing, cloth-wrapped wiring, and framing that has shifted over seventy-plus years of San Gabriel Valley heat cycles. We plan for that. A bathroom tear-out on a home near Emperor Avenue is more likely to reveal cast-iron drain lines than a house built in the 1990s, and that affects both the timeline and the permit scope.
Summers here routinely push into the high 90s, so exterior work, roofing, and any project that requires opening walls gets scheduled around heat. Temple City sits on flat, stable ground with good drainage, so foundation issues are less common here than in hillside communities, but the tradeoff is hard, compacted soil that makes trenching for new sewer lines or water service a slower job than crews expect. Homes in the Cloverly area and around Temple City Park tend to be well maintained, but even those need seismic strapping and shear-wall upgrades when walls come open, because local building codes require it on any permitted remodel.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Temple City Services
The two calls we hear most from Temple City homeowners start with a kitchen that no longer works for the household or a bathroom that needs a full reset. Each of the three services below has its own Temple City page with detailed pricing and local notes.
General Contractor in Temple City
Most Temple City general contractor work starts as an addition, a structural repair, or a gut-and-replace after a plumbing failure. We coordinate the permit, the engineering when a wall moves, and every trade from demo to final inspection. On a Temple City project, expect city plan-check review to add two to four weeks before a shovel goes in the ground, and we build that into the schedule up front. Learn more on our General Contractor in Temple City page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Temple City
Original Temple City bathrooms are compact, often 40 to 50 square feet, and the typical ask is a tub-to-shower conversion with a new vanity and floor tile. We waterproof to the substrate, replace old cast-iron drains where they’re past useful life, and deliver a written price that covers the full scope, not just the visible finishes. See pricing and timelines on our Bathroom Remodeling in Temple City page.
Home Remodeling in Temple City
Whole-home remodeling in Temple City usually means opening up closed-off kitchens, adding a second bathroom, and replacing every system a 1950s house still has running. We sequence the work so you’re not without a working bathroom or kitchen longer than necessary, and we identify code-triggered upgrades, like panel replacement or shear-wall retrofits, before the first wall comes down. Full details are on our Home Remodeling in Temple City page.

Brands We Service in Temple City
We work with specification-grade material lines including Sakrete for concrete and site prep, plus prefab and panelized options from Abodu and Cover where a Temple City homeowner wants a faster ADU or addition timeline. The right material for a job depends on access, soil, and engineering, so we bring our brands into the conversation once we’ve seen the property.

What pushes a Temple City remodel toward the top of any range is usually plumbing age: a 1950s home with original galvanized supply lines will need repiping in the affected rooms, and that’s a four-figure line item on its own. Permit fees, plan-check, and engineering for any wall removal also sit outside the labor and materials number. Before we start, you get one written price that covers the full scope, so a mid-project change order is the exception, not the rule.
