Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Ojus
If you’re searching for a General Contractor in Ojus, you’re likely wondering what the job will cost, who exactly will show up at your door, and whether the work will pass Miami-Dade inspection the first time. Those are the right questions. A kitchen remodel in Ojus typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, a bathroom remodel $9,000 to $28,000, and permits route through Miami-Dade County’s ePlan portal, not a local Ojus building department. Since 2004, Mason Remodeling has scoped and built projects across Ojus with written pricing delivered before any work starts. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule a free estimate and get exact numbers for your project.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Ojus’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Ojus homeowners don’t hand their house keys to just anyone. The neighborhood’s ranch homes and mid-century builds along NE 186th Street and near Greynolds Park carry real structural quirks: load-bearing walls where you’d rather see open sightlines, original subfloors that need sistering, and High Velocity Hurricane Zone product rules that touch nearly every exterior-facing change. We’ve walked those homes, pulled their permits, and closed their punch lists.
Our crews arrive under General Contractor standards that are the same whether we’re working a full gut remodel or a single bath vanity. That means background-checked and identity-verified technicians, each introduced to you by name and photo before arrival, each wearing a clean marked uniform and carrying a photo ID badge at the door. It’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s non-negotiable on every Ojus job.
We deliver a written price before any work begins. Not a verbal ballpark that grows on the final bill. The number we agree on is the number you pay, and if something isn’t right within a year of completion, we come back and make it right at no cost under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Isaac Pruett leads our Ojus work with a simple rule: scope it properly the first time, price it in writing, and show up with people you’ve already seen.

Remodeling Contractor in Ojus
A Remodeling Contractor in Ojus handles the full sequence of a renovation: demolition, structural rough-in, plumbing and electrical changes, drywall, finishes, fixtures, and the final inspection sign-off that Miami-Dade County requires before you legally live with the work. We were hired as the general contractor on a 1970s ranch off NE 186th Street near Greynolds Park for a full galley kitchen remodel. The homeowner wanted KraftMaid cabinetry, a Cambria quartz top, and a Kohler sink, but the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room had to stay. We stripped to the subfloor, sistered a few joists, pulled the Miami-Dade permit for the drain relocation and a new 20-amp circuit, ran the rough-in, passed inspection sign-off before drywall close-up, and then set cabinets and stone. Final punch list closed in one visit, and the homeowner got the open feel without a structural header.
For Ojus kitchens, expect $14,000 to $45,000 for a full remodel. A small kitchen that keeps its footprint typically lands at $9,000 to $20,000. Every scope we write includes line items for subfloor repair and wall furring where needed, not as pleasant surprises after demo day.
Scoped Takeoffs, Not Phone-Photo Quotes
We don’t price a remodel from a texted photo. A real takeoff means measuring the actual rooms, checking joist conditions, and confirming which walls carry load. That’s how we catch the subfloor rot that a photo won’t show.
On Ojus homes near the coast, we also verify that any windows or doors being touched carry Miami-Dade NOA product approvals. Skipping that check is how a well-priced bid turns into a permit rejection and a stalled job.
Written Price Before Demo Day
The full scope, every fixture, every allowance, and the final number go into a written proposal before a single tool is unpacked. There are no verbal estimates that grow on the final invoice, and no change orders that show up without your written sign-off.
Licensed General Contractor in Ojus
A Licensed General Contractor in Ojus carries the liability and responsibility for what happens on site: pulling permits through Miami-Dade County’s ePlan portal, scheduling inspections, coordinating subcontractors, and standing behind the finished work. When you hire Mason Remodeling, Isaac Pruett’s team owns the schedule and the paper trail from first takeoff to final punch list.
Ojus sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so there’s no separate Ojus municipal building department. Permits are filed through the county ePlan system and inspected by Miami-Dade code officers. That’s a meaningful distinction: a contractor who doesn’t file the right way can leave you with uncovered rough-in work that requires selective demolition to inspect afterward.
Permits, Rough-In, and Inspection Sign-Off
We never cover plumbing, electrical, or structural work before the inspector sees it. For a home addition in Ojus, which runs $45,000 to $130,000, the inspection sequence is critical: footing, slab, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final, each signed off in order.
If a repair or installation fails, we return at no charge, no dispute process, no conditions. That’s a written guarantee with clearly stated terms: what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long.
Milestone-Based Draw Schedules
You should never pay most of the job up front. We structure payments around completed milestones: deposit, demo and rough-in, inspection sign-offs, cabinet and fixture set, final punch. You keep leverage until the work is actually done and inspected.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
Ojus homeowners often ask whether we’ll work with the materials they’ve already chosen or whether we push our own product lines. The answer is both. We install specification-grade cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, surfaces from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. On whole-home and addition projects, we coordinate windows and roofing with manufacturers who carry the NOA product approvals Miami-Dade requires. We also respect homeowners who want a Dvele or Mighty Buildings prefab component integrated into an ADU or garage conversion. Our team knows those systems well enough to handle the site work, utilities, and county inspections around them. We stock common local parts for Ojus jobs and can source specialty finishes with quick turnaround.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Ojus Homes
After more than 20 years of pulling permits and closing punch lists across Ojus, we’ve seen the same failure modes repeat. Here’s what actually goes wrong when the wrong contractor takes the job.
- Quote-from-a-photo scopes. A contractor prices the job from a few phone photos, never walks the house, and misses subfloor damage, wall furring, or a load-bearing condition. The price looks great until demo day reveals $8,000 more in structural work. We walk every Ojus project before pricing it.
- High Velocity Hurricane Zone product misses. Ojus lies within Miami-Dade’s HVHZ zone. Windows, doors, and roofing need NOA product approval numbers, even on some interior remodels that touch the building envelope. A contractor who doesn’t check this may find the permit rejected after you’ve already bought materials.
- Covered rough-in before inspection. Drywall goes up, tile goes down, and only then someone remembers the inspector never saw the plumbing. Selective demolition at the contractor’s cost is the only fix. We schedule inspection sign-off before any close-up, every time.
- Front-loaded draw schedules. A contractor collects 70% by framing, then loses interest in the punch list. Now you’re fighting over a verbal “we’ll come back.” Our milestone-based schedule keeps your leverage through the final walk-through.

AfterPricing for General Contractor in Ojus, FL

FAQs About General Contractor in Ojus
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing drains, adding or relocating electrical circuits, changing wall framing, or touching the building envelope. Ojus is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, and permits route through the county ePlan portal, with inspections done by county code officers. A reputable Ojus general contractor files this before demo starts, not after. If you’re unsure whether your scope triggers permitting, call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you straight before you sign anything.
Three things: structural conditions behind walls and under floors, unpermitted work from a previous remodel that must be corrected to pass inspection, and any product changes you request mid-job. That’s why we do a real takeoff before pricing, not a phone-photo estimate. Our written proposal includes allowances for typical Ojus conditions, like subfloor repair and wall furring, so the number you sign is the number you pay. Call (803) 680-2547 for a scoped, written price.
A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Ojus typically runs 4 to 8 weeks. Home additions and whole-home projects run 3 to 6 months. The biggest schedule risk is waiting on Miami-Dade inspection slots, which is why we file permits as soon as the contract is signed and sequence our work so no inspection holds up two weeks of idle labor. We’ll give you a realistic calendar in writing before demo day. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through your timeline.
Ojus sits within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most demanding wind-code zone in the state. Products must carry NOA approval numbers, which means tested and certified assemblies, and the labor rules are stricter than in Broward or points north. For Ojus impact window installation, expect $8,000 to $25,000 depending on opening count and size. We specify HVHZ-compliant product from day one so the permit clears on the first submittal. Call (803) 680-2547 for exact numbers on your openings.
Fixture and material allowances by brand and line, a line-item labor breakdown, the permit number once filed, inspection milestones, a draw schedule tied to completed phases, and cleanup and site access terms. Plus the guarantee: 365 days from the completion date, what’s covered and what’s excluded, and a free return visit if a repair or installation fails. If a contractor won’t put those terms in writing, keep looking. Call (803) 680-2547 to see how we structure ours.
