Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Kendale Lakes
Home remodeling in Kendale Lakes usually means opening up a house built in the 1970s or 1980s and finding out what the original builder hid behind the drywall. Most jobs in this neighborhood start between $5,000 and $45,000 depending on scope, and a full kitchen remodel here typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000. We know the houses here because we work in them every week. If you’re planning a remodel anywhere in Kendale Lakes, call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk through the numbers with you before you commit to anything.
What sets Kendale Lakes apart from newer South Florida developments is simple: the housing stock was largely built out between the early 1970s and late 1980s. That means most remodels begin with 8-foot ceilings, aluminum single-pane windows, and electrical panels that were sized for a different era. Our Home Remodeling team plans for those realities from day one, so the budget conversation starts where the real cost drivers are, not on a finishes checklist.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
We’re part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, founded in 2004, and every project runs through what we call the Threshold Standard. That means each crew member who steps onto your property in Kendale Lakes has been background-checked, identity-verified, and will arrive in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge. You’ll get the technician’s name and photo before they show up. Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he holds every job to that standard regardless of size.
Pricing is not verbal and not vague. Mason Remodeling delivers a written price before any work begins, on every project, every time. That written quote covers the scope as we understand it, including allowances spelled out line by line. If something changes once we open a wall near Kendall Drive or along 137th Avenue, the change order is a one-page conversation, not a surprise invoice.
Our work is also covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. That guarantee applies across general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodels in Kendale Lakes and the surrounding area.
Every completed project also includes a written guarantee with clearly stated terms. No fine-print games. And if a repair or installation fails, the second visit is free. You can reach a live person at (803) 680-2547 any time, day or night, weekends and holidays included.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Companies in Kendale Lakes
Home Remodeling Companies in Kendale Lakes have to understand one thing that national chains often miss: these are 40 to 50 year old houses, and the real work is rarely visible on the surface. A kitchen remodel here is not just cabinets and countertops. It often includes re-routing cast-iron drain lines under the slab, replacing galvanized supply lines, and upgrading a 50-amp electrical panel before the first tile goes down. A realistic kitchen remodel in Kendale Lakes runs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller kitchens falling between $9,000 and $20,000.
What matters when choosing among Home Remodeling Companies in Kendale Lakes is whether the price they quote accounts for what’s behind the walls. We write allowances into every scope so you know exactly what a Silestone slab or a Kohler fixture will add before you pick it, not after the invoice arrives.
What Makes a Remodel Here Different
Kendale Lakes homes were built when aluminum wiring was standard practice and single-pane aluminum windows were the norm. A remodel that touches electrical or plumbing almost always triggers code upgrades. We pull permits on any scope that includes load-bearing changes or electrical work, because skipping the permit means reopening finished work at inspection sign-off, which is an expensive way to save a filing fee.
Homes near the Kendall Drive and 137th Avenue corridor especially show a pattern we know well: original cast-iron drains under the slab, subfloors that swelled from old water heater leaks, and kitchens that were never designed for modern appliance loads. Our pricing reflects that reality.
What You’ll Actually See During the Job
From the first visit, you know exactly who is coming and what they’ll do. Every crew member arrives in uniform with a photo badge, and you receive their name and photo before the visit. The written price is delivered before any tools are unpacked. That’s not an upgrade or a favor; it’s how Mason Remodeling has operated since 2004.
Whole House Remodel in Kendale Lakes
A Whole House Remodel in Kendale Lakes begins with the structure itself, because most of these 1970s and 1980s homes have never been opened up since the original build. We start with the same question every time: what is behind the drywall, and what has to change before finishes go in. Depending on square footage and condition, a whole-home remodel in Kendale Lakes typically runs $45,000 to $130,000.
We just wrapped a 1979 house near the Kendall Drive and 137th Avenue corridor where the homeowner wanted a full kitchen, but the first demolition showed cast-iron drain lines under the slab and a subfloor that had swelled from an old water heater leak. Our crew repaired the subfloor, re-routed the drain, and re-set the cabinet run for KraftMaid boxes with a Cambria top before we could even talk backsplash. Because the scope was written down with allowances spelled out, the change order for the hidden plumbing and subfloor stayed a one-page conversation instead of a dispute.
When a Whole House Remodel Makes Sense
If you’re already planning a kitchen remodel and two bathroom updates, a Whole House Remodel often costs less per square foot than doing them separately over three years. It also lets us sequence the messy work, rough-in plumbing and electrical, structural repairs, window replacement, and subfloor fixes, before any finished surfaces go in. One permit package, one crew schedule, one written price.
What We Recommend You Budget For
Plan for the structural unknowns. A whole-home remodel on a 1980s Kendale Lakes house almost always includes electrical panel upgrades, drain line replacement, and window rough-opening corrections. We write those as allowances in the written price so you see the full picture up front, not as a surprise at rough-in inspection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
We install and service flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures from brands like KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, Kohler, and Moen, and we keep local parts stocked for Kendale Lakes customers so turnaround on material issues stays short. For full-home prefabricated builds, we work with Cover and Dvele when the scope calls for it. Every brand we use passes our specification-grade standard, and we back the installation with the same 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Call (803) 680-2547 if you want to know whether a specific brand or line fits your Kendale Lakes remodel before you buy anything. That conversation costs nothing.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Cast-iron drain stacks under the slab. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s in Kendale Lakes often have original cast-iron waste lines that are now rusted through or cracked. We find them during almost every kitchen and bathroom remodel, and they have to be replaced before rough-in can pass inspection.
- Aluminum wiring and undersized panels. A 50-amp panel was standard in many Kendale Lakes builds, and it cannot support a modern kitchen with a full appliance suite. Upgrading the panel and replacing aluminum branch circuits is a common line item on our written prices here.
- Swollen subfloors from old water heater and dishwasher leaks. Original water heaters sat in interior closets in many of these houses. When they leaked, the subfloor swelled. We regularly replace subfloor sections before flooring goes down near Kendall Drive and the surrounding blocks.
- Single-pane aluminum windows that have to come out. If your remodel changes wall openings or you’re replacing stucco anyway, the old aluminum frames usually cannot be re-flashed properly. Impact window installation in Kendale Lakes runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the count and opening sizes, and we coordinate that work so it does not stall the rest of the remodel.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Kendale Lakes
A home remodel in Kendale Lakes starts with a walkthrough and a written scope, then demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, structural repairs, insulation and drywall, finishes, and a final walkthrough against the written price. The part most homeowners do not expect is the rough-in work behind the walls, which on a 1970s or 1980s Kendale Lakes house often includes replacing cast-iron drains, aluminum wiring, and undersized panels. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate and we will map the sequence for your specific house.
A kitchen remodel in Kendale Lakes runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full job, and $9,000 to $20,000 for a small kitchen. The spread depends on whether the drain lines under the slab need replacing, whether the electrical panel must be upgraded, and which cabinet and countertop lines you choose. We write allowances for those choices into the price up front so nothing lands as a surprise.
Yes, any remodel in Kendale Lakes that touches load-bearing structure, electrical, plumbing, or window openings requires permits and inspections. We pull the permits ourselves and schedule the inspections as part of the job. Skipping permits to save the filing fee means the work can be opened back up at sign-off, which costs far more than the permit ever did.
The price changes if the scope changes, and in Kendale Lakes the most common triggers are hidden conditions: a cast-iron drain stack that has to be replaced, a swollen subfloor from an old leak, or aluminum wiring that no longer meets code. We write allowances into the original price to cover exactly those discoveries, and any change order stays a one-page document with your signature on it. You never pay for a hidden condition we did not show you first.
A bathroom remodel in Kendale Lakes typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, a kitchen 4 to 8 weeks, and a whole-home remodel 2 to 4 months depending on scope and inspection scheduling. Permitting in this part of Miami-Dade County adds time, and we build that into the calendar up front. Call (803) 680-2547 to get a realistic schedule for your project before you set any move-out dates.
