Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across The Hammocks
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or room addition in The Hammocks, you need a general contractor who understands what’s actually inside these walls. Homes here were largely built in the 1980s and 1990s, which means the plumbing, electrical, and framing rarely match the original permit drawings. That’s exactly why a walkthrough and a written scope matter more than a quick quote. As our General Contractor team works through The Hammocks, we start with one question: what will we find once we open it up? Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk the project with you before any number gets written.
Key Takeaways:
- A kitchen remodel in The Hammocks runs $14,000 to $45,000; bathrooms run $9,000 to $28,000.
- Homes here often have polybutylene supply lines and cast-iron drains hidden behind 30-year-old walls.
- You get a written price before any work starts, and a 365-day written guarantee when it’s done.
- The crew arrives in uniform, with a photo ID badge. You know the name and face before the door opens.
Why Mason Remodeling Is The Hammocks’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’ve walked enough The Hammocks houses to know the split-levels off SW 152nd Avenue, the two-story colonials near Hammocks Boulevard, and the single-story ranches tucked behind Country Walk. Each one hides its own surprises. What gets us the repeat work is simple: we don’t bid blind, and we don’t let surprises become arguments. Mason Remodeling has done general contracting since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family, and every project follows the Threshold Standard: background-checked, identity-verified crew members, introduced by name and photo before they arrive.
Our The Hammocks customers call because they want a fixed number in writing, not a verbal ballpark that grows. That’s the rule here. A written price before any work starts, on every project, every time. And when the work wraps, you hold a written guarantee with plain-language terms: what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long. If a repair fails within 365 days of completion, we make it right at no cost. No dispute process. No conditions.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in The Hammocks
A licensed general contractor in The Hammocks means somebody who carries the Miami-Dade permit sequence on your behalf, not somebody who tells you permits aren’t needed. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and carry the change-order paperwork so the work closes legally. What that costs depends on the scope: a bathroom remodel in The Hammocks runs $9,000 to $28,000, a kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000, and a home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000. Those ranges assume we’re opening walls, not just swapping finishes.
Permit and Inspection Handling
Miami-Dade inspections happen in a specific order: rough framing, rough plumbing, rough electrical, then insulation, then the finals. Miss one and the schedule slips a week. We file the permit set, coordinate the inspection windows, and walk the job with the inspector. You’re never the one calling the building department at 7:30 a.m.
Change-Order Discipline
No general contractor in The Hammocks can promise a remodel never changes scope. What we promise is that every change gets written, signed, and priced before the crew touches it. Adding a walk-in shower after demo? That’s a written change order with a number attached. Verbal agreements are how invoices become fights.
Residential General Contractor in The Hammocks
A residential general contractor in The Hammocks is different from a commercial builder in one important way: we work inside homes where people are living, often through the entire project. That means dust barriers, daily cleanup, and a schedule that respects the fact that your kids still need a bathroom tonight. For a bathroom remodel in The Hammocks, expect $9,000 to $28,000. For a full kitchen with cabinet replacement, anticipate $14,000 to $45,000 once you factor in KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry and a Cambria or Silestone top.
Working Inside Lived-In Homes
We sequence the work so one bathroom stays usable for most of the job. We protect floors, seal doorways, and keep a clear path to the service panel. Older adults and parents with young children are the homeowners we think about most, because they’re the ones home during the day.
Clear Daily Communication
Every project gets a schedule, and that schedule gets updated in plain English, not construction shorthand. You know who’s coming, what they’re doing, and what’s next. If something changes, we call. A live person answers our phone around the clock, every day of the year.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We install and service specification-grade cabinetry and surface lines that The Hammocks homeowners actually ask for: KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinets, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for countertops, Kohler and Moen for fixtures. We also work with national accessory dwelling unit systems from Cover and Mighty Buildings for garage conversions and backyard ADUs. We keep coordinated suppliers here in South Florida, so lead times for The Hammocks jobs stay reasonable. When a slab or a cabinet line is backordered, we tell you before you sign, not after demolition.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Polybutylene supply lines behind original walls. Built mostly from the 1980s into the 1990s, many homes in The Hammocks still carry gray polybutylene piping. Once we open a wall for a remodel, the right move is often a rough-in re-pipe before closing it back up.
- Cast-iron drain stacks under slab. The vertical stacks here are often cast iron, and after 30-plus years they crack. A bathroom remodel can expose a cracked stack at the toilet flange, and that changes the plumbing scope on the spot.
- Dropped soffits over old cabinets. Original 1980s kitchens in The Hammocks were built with soffits framing out the upper cabinets. Pulling them changes cabinet heights and sometimes exposes plumbing or wiring that was never on any permit drawing.
- Low allowances tricking a flat bid. Some contractors quote turnkey prices with allowances too low to buy the Cambria, Caesarstone, or KraftMaid lines the homeowner actually wants. The price then balloons at the showroom. We set allowances at real spec levels from the start.

One local project, start to finish: We scoped a kitchen remodel in The Hammocks on SW 152nd Avenue where the original 1988 cabinets were framed around a dropped soffit. Pulling the soffit exposed a polybutylene line feeding the fridge, so we added a rough-in re-pipe and adjusted the draw schedule before setting KraftMaid cabinets and a Silestone top. The punch list closed with a new valve at the wall and no drywall cut after paint.

FAQs About General Contractor in The Hammocks
Yes. Any remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural framing in The Hammocks requires a Miami-Dade permit and passed inspections. Cosmetic-only changes like paint and countertop replacement can sometimes go without, but when we’re opening walls, moving fixtures, or altering a load-bearing wall, we pull permits and close them out properly. Call (803) 680-2547 if you’re not sure which category your job falls into.
Because homes built in The Hammocks during the 1980s and 1990s often still carry polybutylene supply lines and cast-iron drain stacks. If we lock a price before seeing what’s behind the wall, we’re pricing a guess. A quick plumbing check before the contract means the number we write is the number that holds. Estimates are free, and a little up-front inspection saves real money later.
A bathroom remodel in The Hammocks typically runs three to five weeks. A full kitchen with new cabinets, counters, fixtures, and rough-in plumbing usually runs six to ten weeks. Add inspections into that: Miami-Dade rough and final inspections are scheduled in a specific sequence, and each one takes a few days to schedule around. We build the calendar with those windows included, not optimistic.
A change order is a written addendum to the original contract that states exactly what’s changing, what it costs, and how much time it adds. In The Hammocks we write one for everything: moving a wall, upgrading a shower, adding a pot-filler. Nothing gets done on a verbal nod. That’s how a $28,000 bathroom remodel stays a $28,000 bathroom remodel instead of becoming a $34,000 one.
We structure draws around milestones, not calendar weeks. A typical schedule is a deposit at contract, a draw after demo and rough-in, a draw after cabinets and tops are set, and the final draw at inspection sign-off and punch list completion. You only pay for work that’s been done and inspected. If a milestone slips, the draw slips with it, never the other way around.
