Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Citrus
Most general contractor projects in Citrus fall into one of two buckets: remodeling what you already have, or adding square footage you don’t. Either way, the work starts with an honest scope and a written price before demolition day. We serve homeowners throughout Citrus, from the foothill streets near Barranca Avenue up to the neighborhoods off Baseline Road, and we quote every project in real dollar figures so you can decide before you commit. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk your property with you, not rush through it.
Our General Contractor team knows what Citrus homes actually need. The housing stock here trends mid-century, the lots run irregular along the foothill slope, and many of the original builds sit on raised foundations instead of slabs. That changes how we scope, how we price, and how we sequence the work. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, room addition, or garage conversion, the conversation should start with your home’s bones, not a catalog.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Citrus’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Citrus homeowners call us because they want to know exactly who is coming to their door and exactly what the work will cost before it starts. Our crews arrive in clean marked uniforms, show a photo ID badge at the door, and are introduced by name and photo before the visit. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it applies on every job in Citrus, from a small bath refresh to a full ADU build. No surprises about who is in your home, and no surprises on the invoice.
Isaac Pruett leads our remodeling teams, and the standard he holds is simple: a written price on every project, a written guarantee on every completed job, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that covers workmanship for a full year from the completion date. If something isn’t right within that year, we make it right at no cost to you. No dispute process, no conditions, no charge for the return visit.
Response time to Citrus matters because the foothill areas around Glendora and San Dimas sit outside the dense metro core. We schedule Citrus projects in full workdays, not half-day drop-ins, so our crews aren’t fighting the 210 Freeway at rush hour just to get a half shift in. You get a real construction crew on site, with a real schedule, and a project manager who answers the phone.
Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Citrus
A Construction Company in Citrus handles the structural side of home improvement: room additions, garage conversions, ADU construction, and any work that touches framing, foundations, load-bearing walls, roofing, or exterior envelope. This is the work that requires permits, inspections, and a general contractor who understands how Citrus’s raised-foundation homes are framed. Because many mid-century ranch houses here sit on post-and-beam floor systems rather than slab-on-grade, any addition or conversion starts with verifying what’s under the existing floor. In Citrus, a room addition typically runs $45,000 – $130,000, a garage conversion $30,000 – $80,000, and an ADU $90,000 – $220,000 depending on site access and utility runs.
Room Additions and Foundation Work
The biggest cost driver on a Citrus addition isn’t square footage, it’s what’s under the floor. Raised foundations with post-and-beam framing often need joist reinforcement or leveling before new framing ties in. We inspect the existing foundation, pull the permit, and write the repair into the scope before we pour anything. No verbal walkthrough pricing that falls apart when demo starts.
Garage Conversions and ADU Builds
Citrus lots are deeper than they look from the street, and many homeowners are converting attached garages or building detached ADUs in the rear yard. Both require plan check through the local building department, and both trigger inspections on electrical, plumbing, and structural connections. We handle the full sequence: plans, permits, rough-in inspection sign-off, and final. You’ll get a written price covering the entire build, not a ballpark that drifts.
Remodeling Contractor in Citrus
A Remodeling Contractor in Citrus works inside the existing footprint of your home: kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, and finish work like cabinet installation, countertop installation, and walk-in shower builds. This is where the raised-foundation reality hits hardest. We were scoping a galley kitchen remodel in the Citrus foothills where the homeowner wanted KraftMaid cabinets and a Cambria island, but the pre-demo inspection showed the original 1950s subfloor had deflected under the old tile. Our crew pulled the flooring, sistered the load-bearing joists below, re-leveled the subfloor, then set the new cabinets. Because that repair landed outside the original scope of work, we wrote it up as a signed change order before a single cabinet box was opened. The final walkthrough punch list was just two door adjustments and a backsplash caulk line.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels
Citrus kitchens remodeled in 2026 typically cost $14,000 – $45,000; bathrooms run $9,000 – $28,000. If you’re keeping the existing footprint and replacing surfaces, cabinets, and fixtures, you’ll land on the lower end. If you’re moving plumbing, opening walls, or leveling subfloor, plan for the upper end. We use specification-grade product lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone for surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe for fixtures, so your selections hold up to daily use.
Showers, Tubs, and Finish Work
Walk-in shower installations in Citrus run $4,500 – $12,000, and tub-to-shower conversions $3,500 – $10,000. We set the waterproofing system, the pan, the valve, and the tile, then we schedule the rough-in inspection before the walls close. A Schluter strip, the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring, is standard on our edges because it prevents the hairline cracks that Citrus’s seasonal temperature swings can open up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus
We keep a tight list of material partners so Citrus homeowners don’t spend weekends shopping showrooms blind. For cabinetry we work with KraftMaid and Wellborn. For countertops and surfaces, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. For plumbing fixtures, Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. For roofing, GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. For hardscaping, Belgard, Unilock, and Techo-Bloc. We also service prefabricated ADU and modular systems from Abodu, Cover, and Dvele when a Citrus homeowner wants a faster path to a permitted unit. Having one contractor who can quote across these lines means your allowances are set correctly from the start, not inflated or guessed at.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Citrus Homes
- Raised-foundation subfloor deflection. Citrus sits in the San Gabriel Valley foothill corridor, and many mid-century ranch homes were built on raised foundations with post-and-beam floor framing rather than slab-on-grade. We routinely find sagging or out-of-level subfloors that must be corrected before tile or cabinets go down, which is rare in neighboring flatland cities built on slabs.
- Verbal estimates that blow up mid-demo. Pricing a Citrus kitchen or bath remodel off a verbal walkthrough, then discovering raised-foundation joist or subfloor repair mid-demo with no signed change order, is the most common budget disaster we see. Our written price includes the work we can see, and our change orders are signed before extra scope begins.
- Skipping the rough-in inspection. Treating a Citrus permit as optional paperwork, and skipping the third-party inspection sign-off on rough-in plumbing and electrical before the walls close, forces a tear-out later. We pull permits on every job that triggers one and schedule the inspections ourselves.
- Allowance lines set too low. Setting allowances for tile, countertop, and fixtures below what Citrus homeowners actually pick means the Cambria or Silestone upgrade blows the budget before the draw schedule is even halfway paid out. We set allowances off real product pricing from our material partners, not generic square-foot guesses.

FAQs About General Contractor in Citrus
Yes, most kitchen and bathroom remodels in Citrus require a permit if you’re moving plumbing, altering electrical, removing or moving walls, or changing the footprint. We pull the permit ourselves and schedule the required inspections, including the rough-in sign-off before the walls close, so you’re never asked to sign off on unpermitted work. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you exactly which triggers apply to your project.
In Citrus, the usual culprit is a raised-foundation subfloor that was out of level or had joist damage hidden under the old tile or carpet. A contractor who priced off a verbal walkthrough now has an unexpected structural repair with no signed change order to cover it. We protect against this by inspecting the subfloor access before we quote, writing any foreseeable repair into the written price, and if something truly hidden appears, we stop and sign a change order before any additional work begins. Call (803) 680-2547 for an estimate that accounts for Citrus’s raised foundations up front.
An allowances line is a specific dollar amount set aside in your contract for materials you’ll select later, like tile, countertops, fixtures, and cabinet hardware. It matters because if the allowance is set too low, the upgrade you actually want, like Cambria instead of builder-grade quartz, blows the budget before the draw schedule is halfway paid. We set allowances off real product pricing from our material partners, so you’re making decisions with accurate numbers, not guessing. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through a sample allowance schedule.
A Citrus bathroom remodel usually takes four to seven weeks from permit submission to final walkthrough; a kitchen remodel commonly runs six to twelve weeks depending on structural work and material lead times. Any project that includes subfloor leveling, joist repair, or a room addition will extend the calendar. We give you a written schedule with milestone dates at the start, and we call when inspections are scheduled so you know the walls won’t close until the sign-off is in hand. Call (803) 680-2547 for a realistic timeline for your specific project.
Yes, garage conversions and ADU builds are common in Citrus, and both run through plan check and the local building department. A garage conversion typically runs $30,000 – $80,000, while an ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000 depending on site access, utility runs, and whether you choose a custom build or a prefabricated system from Abodu, Cover, or Dvele. We handle plans, permits, inspections, and construction as one written price. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate on your lot.
