Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across West Perrine
General contractor work in West Perrine typically starts with a walkthrough, a written scope, and a price you can hold us to before we ever move a wall. Most kitchens here run $14,000 – $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 – $28,000, and a home addition $45,000 – $130,000 depending on what’s behind the block walls. We serve West Perrine from our scheduling office in Miami, so you get a local crew and a live person when you call (803) 680-2547, not a call tree. Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he will be the first one to tell you what the job actually costs.
West Perrine’s homes are mostly 1950s – 1970s concrete-block construction on wide lots along streets like SW 168th, SW 104th, and near West Perrine Park. That changes how every project gets priced and sequenced. Block walls mean load-bearing decisions early, cast-iron drains hide behind them, and the electrical is rarely up to current code. We plan for that from the first walkthrough, so the number we write down is the number you plan around. Call (803) 680-2547 when you’re ready and we’ll come out to look.
Why Mason Remodeling Is West Perrine’s Preferred General Contractor Company
West Perrine homeowners keep calling us back because we do what a lot of competitors skip: we open the wall before we quote the finish. A kitchen remodel here isn’t a cabinet swap. It’s often a 1962 block wall coming down, a header going in, and wiring that was never meant for a modern appliance load getting replaced. We build that reality into the first number, so you don’t get a friendly bid in week one and a painful change order in week six.
Our crew shows up the way we describe them. Every technician is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard, and you get a name and photo before anyone arrives, plus a photo ID badge at your door. For West Perrine homeowners who are home alone during the day, that’s not a nice-to-have. It’s the reason they don’t dread answering the door.
We’ve worked throughout West Perrine, from the older blocks near SW 168th Street to the ranch-style homes spreading out toward the Turnpike. That local reps means we know where the cast-iron drains fail and which additions will pass inspection the first time. Free estimates, written pricing, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise back it all.

Hire a General Contractor in West Perrine
Hire a General Contractor in West Perrine when the project touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or permits, and you want one person accountable for the whole thing. A general contractor in this part of Miami-Dade is the difference between chasing three trades yourself and getting a single written price with one schedule and one point of contact. On an open-plan kitchen remodel in West Perrine, that matters: the job might require a structural engineer’s letter for the header, a plumbing rough-in relocation, and an electrical panel upgrade all before the first cabinet lands.
Structural Work on Block Homes
Most West Perrine homes built before 1980 use concrete block for both exterior and interior bearing walls. Removing a wall between a galley kitchen and dining room means installing a header and possibly a beam pocket in the block, not just cutting drywall. We carry the engineer’s review and the permit that goes with it. Budget the structural scope before the tile, not after.
Permits and Inspection Sign-Off
We pull permits on every job that requires them, including garage conversions and additions. In West Perrine, where lots are wide and work can be tucked behind a fence, skipping permits is tempting to some contractors, but it’s not something we’ll do. Unpermitted work gets flagged at resale and insurance review, and fixing it later costs more than doing it right the first time.
General Contractor Services in West Perrine
General Contractor Services in West Perrine cover kitchens, baths, whole-home remodels, room additions, garage conversions, and impact window installations, all scoped against what the house actually is. A 1960s block ranch on a half-acre lot is not the same job as a newer wood-frame home in a different part of Miami-Dade, and pricing has to reflect that. Kitchen remodels here run $14,000 – $45,000. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000. Garage conversions run $30,000 – $80,000 depending on whether you’re adding plumbing for a bath or keeping it simple.
Whole-Home Remodels and Additions
When West Perrine homeowners outgrow their space, they usually have room to add on rather than move. A home addition costs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation requirements, and whether the roofline ties into the existing block structure. We coordinate the engineer, the permit package, and the subs so the addition doesn’t stall at inspection.
Impact Windows and Openings
We also handle impact window installation, a frequent request in West Perrine as homeowners upgrade older single-pane units. Impact windows run $8,000 – $25,000 for a full home depending on the number of openings and the product spec. It’s one of the few jobs where the product choice drives the price as much as the labor.

Written pricing means the allowance is stated plain, so you know before you pick that Cambria slab whether it fits the number we gave you.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in West Perrine Homes
- Block walls hiding deferred repairs. We routinely find undersized wiring, failed cast-iron drains, and termite damage once we open a wall in a 1960s West Perrine home. That’s not a surprise to us, and it shouldn’t be a surprise to you. We write the scope to account for what those homes actually hold.
- Bids that ignore the lot. A big lot makes an addition look simple, but the setback, drainage, and flood elevation in West Perrine can change the foundation and slab work substantially. A bid that doesn’t mention site prep is not a real bid.
- Garage conversions without plumbing scope. Converting a garage to living space often seems cheap on paper, but adding a bathroom means cutting into the slab to run new drain lines. That’s real money, and it shows up before drywall, not after.
- Cabinet and counter allowances set too low. If the allowance in your bid covers builder-grade boxes and you wanted KraftMaid and quartz, the final number will move. We set allowances to realistic local pricing for the products West Perrine homeowners actually ask for.
Pricing for General Contractor in West Perrine, FL
Here’s what you’re planning around in West Perrine, with real ranges from our own local jobs:
| Project | Typical West Perrine Range |

What moves the number isn’t mystery. It’s the condition of the block walls, the age of the wiring and drains, the permit scope, and the finish level you actually want. A 1962 galley kitchen with a cast-iron drain and a panel from the Carter administration will land higher than a 1980s kitchen in better shape. Ask for a written quote that names those items. Ours does. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll put one together for free.

FAQs About General Contractor in West Perrine
Yes, if that wall is load-bearing, and in most 1950s – 1970s concrete-block West Perrine homes, interior walls between a kitchen and living room are bearing. You’ll need a permit, an engineer’s letter for the header, and an inspection of the beam and connections. Unpermitted wall removal can fail at resale and complicate an insurance claim. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you whether your specific wall needs it.
Because most of the cost is hidden in the walls, not the finishes. One bid assumes the wiring and drains are fine; another, like ours, scopes for the cast-iron and undersized circuits common in 1960s West Perrine homes. One bid prices builder-grade cabinets; another prices KraftMaid and Cambria. The honest bid should read like a line-item list, not a round number. That’s what we write.
A standard full bathroom remodel in a West Perrine block home takes three to five weeks once demolition starts. If the job opens up a failed drain or requires moving plumbing through the slab, count on a few extra days. We’ll give you a written schedule at the start and update it if we hit something structural behind the wall.
Yes, and on the wide lots in West Perrine, it’s often the smartest path to more square footage. A garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000 depending on whether you add a bathroom and kitchenette, and an ADU runs $90,000 – $220,000 when built as a separate structure. Both require permits, and the plumbing scope through the slab is usually the biggest cost driver. We handle the whole package, from engineering to final inspection.
A written scope of work, a line-item price, a payment schedule tied to milestones, the permit responsibility, and the warranty terms. Mason Remodeling puts all of it in writing before any tool is unpacked, and we state the guarantee plainly: 365 days from completion, if the work isn’t right, we make it right at no cost. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate with a written price.
