Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Miami Lakes

Mason Remodeling has provided general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and Miami Lakes Home Remodeling since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family. Every crew member who steps onto a Miami Lakes property is background-checked, uniformed, and introduced by name and photo before arrival.

Why Mason Remodeling Is Miami Lakes’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Miami Lakes homeowners ask the same three questions before the first board comes off: who is coming, what does it cost, and what happens if the work isn’t right. We answer all three in writing before tools arrive. That’s the Threshold Standard: every technician is identity-verified, shows a photo ID badge at the door, and arrives in a clean marked uniform. You learn the crew member’s name and see their photo before they ring the bell.
Our reputation in Miami Lakes comes from handling the details other contractors skip. The Town’s permit process, product approval numbers for impact openings, slab-on-grade floor repairs, load-bearing headers on older ranches like the ones off Ludlam Road and in the Loch Lomond neighborhood. We coordinate these without drama, and our General Contractor team keeps you informed at every step, from rough-in to final walkthrough. Every project gets a written price and a written guarantee with clearly stated terms, including what is covered, what is excluded, and for how long: 365 days from the completion date.

General Contractor Services in Miami Lakes
General Contractor Services in Miami Lakes cover the full arc of a residential project: scoping the work, pulling Town permits, scheduling licensed trades, ordering materials, managing the build, and closing inspections. A Miami Lakes homeowner needs this when the job touches more than one trade – a kitchen remodel that moves plumbing and electrical, a bathroom gut with a Schluter strip (the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring) and a new shower pan, or a home addition that requires structural engineering. Kitchen and bath remodels in Miami Lakes typically run $16,520 – $53,100 for kitchens and $10,620 – $33,040 for bathrooms. We deliver a written price before any work begins on every project, so you know the number before we open a wall.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Kitchen remodels in Miami Lakes often start with a slab-on-grade home where the existing layout hides water damage under the tile. We inspect the subfloor before quoting, because a leveled floor changes the cabinet run and the countertop fabrication. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Silestone surfaces, and Kohler or Moen fixtures are standard spec-grade options we can lock into the written price so the final number doesn’t drift after selections.
Room Additions and Structural Work
Room additions in Miami Lakes require the Town’s floodplain and wind-borne debris review, which means engineering letters and product approvals before the permit is issued. We handle that paperwork as part of the scope, and the written quote ties the structural work to a line item, not a vague allowance. Home additions in Miami Lakes range from $53,100 to $153,400, and the price holds because the scope is written and signed before we start.

Construction Company in Miami Lakes
A Construction Company in Miami Lakes operates differently from a handyman crew or a subcontractor gig. We act as the general contractor of record: we pull the permit under our name, schedule and supervise the licensed plumbers, electricians, and roofers, and we’re the ones who stand behind the work at final inspection. A Miami Lakes homeowner needs a construction company when the project requires structural modification, impact-rated openings, or coordination across three or more trades on site at the same time. Garage conversions in Miami Lakes run $35,400 – $94,400, and impact window installation ranges from $9,440 to $29,500. Every line is in the written price before we begin, and any change order is also written and signed before the new work starts.
Permit Coordination and Draw Schedules
Miami Lakes is one of the few Miami-Dade towns where new construction and major renovations are governed by a locally adopted Florida Building Code with its own wind-borne debris and floodplain review through the Town’s Building Division. Plans here often clear faster than unincorporated Miami-Dade, but they still require product approval numbers for every opening before a permit is issued. We walk those products through review, and we tie draw payments to inspection milestones so you’re never paying ahead of the work.
Written Change Orders
Every project has surprises when walls open. The difference is what happens next. In Miami Lakes slab-on-grade homes, a hidden subfloor repair or a load-bearing header requirement can change the number. We write every change order with a specific price and get your signature before proceeding. No verbal estimate grows on the final bill.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Lakes
We stock and install specification-grade products across Miami Lakes jobs because finish selections drive the final price. That means KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for surfaces, Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe for fixtures, GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning for roofing, and Belgard, Unilock, and Techo-Bloc for hardscaping. For homeowners interested in panelized or prefabricated options on a room addition or ADU, we can coordinate with builders like Dvele and Mighty Buildings where the project fits. When a Miami Lakes customer specifies one of these lines, we lock the model and finish into the written quote so the allowance doesn’t drift upward mid-job.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Miami Lakes Homes
- Slab-on-grade floor damage hidden under tile. Miami Lakes homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have slab foundations, and water intrusion or shifting can leave a subfloor that needs repair before new flooring goes down. A bid from a photo misses this, and the repair shows up as a surprise change order later.
- Load-bearing walls in older ranch layouts. Homes off NW 67th Avenue and around Miami Lakes Drive frequently have a bearing wall between the kitchen and living area. Removing it means an engineer’s letter, a new header, and a Town permit amendment. We account for that possibility in the scope review before the quote goes out.
- Impact openings without product approval numbers. The Town of Miami Lakes requires product approval numbers for every window, door, and opening before the permit is issued. A crew that works mostly in unincorporated Miami-Dade may skip this step, leaving the work uninspected and creating resale problems when the homeowner sells.
- Allowance drift on cabinets and counters. A quote with a generic “allowance” for cabinets or countertops gives the contractor room to raise the number after you’ve picked finishes you love. We lock brand and model lines like KraftMaid or Silestone into the written price so the selections are priced before the contract is signed.

FAQs About General Contractor in Miami Lakes
Yes. The Town of Miami Lakes Building Division requires permits for any kitchen or bath remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, structural, or opening work. The Town uses a locally adopted Florida Building Code with its own wind-borne debris and floodplain review, and product approval numbers are required for every window, door, and opening before the permit is issued. If a contractor says permits aren’t needed for this scope in Miami Lakes, get a second opinion. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll confirm what your project needs.
A typical kitchen or bath remodel in Miami Lakes runs 8 to 14 weeks from signed contract to final walkthrough. A home addition or garage conversion runs 4 to 8 months depending on engineering, Town permit review, and inspections. The biggest schedule variables are the Town’s plan review queue, product approval submittals, and material lead times on cabinets and impact-rated windows. We put the calendar in writing with the quote so you know the sequence before we start.
Three things: hidden slab damage, structural findings, and finish selections that weren’t locked into the written quote. In the Loch Lomond neighborhood off Ludlam Road, we took a 1970s ranch with a failing subfloor and a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room and opened the plan. The scope started as a kitchen refresh at $28,400 but grew to $41,900 after the engineer’s letter required a new header and the owners added impact windows on the south elevation while the walls were open. Every change was written, priced, and signed before the new work started. And we closed the permit with a passed inspection sign-off and walked the punch list with the owners the same afternoon the final draw was released. Call (803) 680-2547 to get a written quote that anticipates these triggers.
Yes. A written estimate, a written scope of work, and written change orders are standard under Florida law. That means every change order is a document with a specific price and your signature before the work proceeds. Verbal quotes that grow on the final bill are not a quirk, they’re a failure of process.
No, and that’s the honest answer. Planned construction in Miami Lakes requires a Town permit, which takes time for review, product approval submittals, and scheduling. You should expect 3 to 6 weeks from signed contract to the first day of demolition on a typical kitchen or bath job. We don’t promise same-week starts because the Town process doesn’t allow it, and we’d rather give you a real calendar than a false one. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule your free estimate and we’ll map out the timeline for your specific project.
