Remodeling Company in Auburn, CA
Mason Remodeling is a full-service remodeling company serving Auburn, CA, with written pricing delivered before any work begins and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that backs every completed project. Auburn homes come in every shape and era: Gold Rush-era cottages in Old Town, mid-century tract homes in the foothills, and newer custom builds off Highway 49. That variety means your remodel rarely fits a template, so we price and plan each job around the house you actually live in, not the house we last worked on. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
Why Auburn Homes Are Different
Auburn’s housing stock spans more than a century and a half, and that spread changes how remodeling works here. Many homes in Old Town and along Lincoln Way were built before 1950, with redwood framing, lath-and-plaster walls, and electrical and plumbing systems that have seen several eras of code. Opening a wall in one of these houses means accounting for what you’ll actually find behind it: knob-and-tube wiring, cast-iron drain lines, or framing that has settled into a permanent lean. We plan for those discoveries, not around them.
The terrain matters too. Auburn sits across a series of ridges and canyons where homes on hillsides, including parts of Christian Valley and areas near the American River canyon, deal with drainage, retaining walls, and foundation movement that flatland houses never face. Summer days regularly reach into the 90s and dry conditions can shrink and crack older wood framing. Add in Placer County’s permitting requirements, which are stricter in designated historic zones, and the takeaway is simple: a competent Auburn remodel starts with a contractor who has worked this town long enough to know what to expect when the drywall comes down.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Auburn Services
Most Auburn homeowners call us for three types of work: general contracting on homes built before modern code, bathroom remodels that make a small foothills bath work harder, and whole-home projects that unfold room by room.
General Contractor in Auburn
General contracting in Auburn often means coordinating structural repairs, foundation work, and finishes across multiple trades on an older home. What starts as a kitchen update can turn into sill-plate replacement, seismic strapping, and a new drainage plan once we open the walls. We handle all of it, managing subcontractors who we have verified personally and who have worked with us before. The result is a project with one point of contact and one written price.

Bathroom Remodeling in Auburn
Many Auburn bathrooms are compact, built for a different era of plumbing, and squeezed onto hillside floor plans. A remodel here frequently involves moving lines, adding ventilation, and waterproofing for a house that has settled over decades. We use specification-grade materials from manufacturers like Cambria, Kohler, and Moen, and we install Schluter waterproofing systems behind the tile so moisture never reaches the framing. Every crew member arrives in uniform, verified by name and photo before the visit, and carries a photo ID badge at your door. Bathroom Remodeling in Auburn
Home Remodeling in Auburn
Whole-home remodeling in Auburn often means bringing a mid-century house into the current century without erasing what made it worth buying. We phaserooms so you can keep living in the house, schedule around Placer County inspections, and stage the work so no phase blocks the next. Whether it is a full interior update along Highway 49 or a hillside home near the canyon that needs new windows, insulation, and a reconfigured floor plan, we write one price for the entire job before a single tool is unpacked.

What pushes a job toward the higher end? Hillside access, older framing that needs structural correction, and Placer County permit requirements on homes in historic districts. What pulls it down? A simple footprint, good joist spacing, and a house that has not been through multiple DIY eras. Either way, the number we give you is the number you pay.
