Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Kendall
Home remodeling in Kendall usually means working on a 1970s to 1990s CBS-block home, and that comes with a specific set of realities: cast-iron or polybutylene plumbing behind the walls, aluminum single-pane windows, and Miami-Dade County permit requirements that a lot of out-of-area crews quietly skip. We scope for those realities from the first walkthrough, not after demo starts. If you’re planning a kitchen, bath, or whole-home remodel in Kendall, you’ll get a written price before any work begins, a named and photo-verified crew at your door, and a 365-day guarantee on the finished job. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule a free estimate. Isaac Pruett leads our Kendall projects, and our scheduling runs through our South FL office so we can get a crew to your street quickly.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Kendall’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Kendall homeowners tend to ask the same three things before they let anyone past the front door: who exactly is coming, what’s the written price, and what happens if something’s wrong a year from now. We answer all three before we ever unload a tool. Every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard, which means you get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and a photo ID badge at the door on arrival. You’ll recognize who’s coming. Your price is in writing before demo starts, on every project, no exceptions. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
We know Kendall’s housing stock because we work on it every week: the CBS-block construction, the original plumbing rough-ins, the permits Miami-Dade actually enforces, and the neighborhoods from West Kendall to the Falls area. That local knowledge is what keeps a quote honest. Isaac Pruett has walked hundreds of these homes, and he will tell you the same thing every time: the price we write down is the price you pay unless you change the scope yourself.
Styles & brands we work with
Whole House Remodel in Kendall
A Whole House Remodel in Kendall is less about tearing everything down and more about sequencing the work so you’re not living in a construction zone for eight months. These projects typically run $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, structural changes, and finish level. The biggest cost drivers here are plumbing and electrical rough-in replacement, window swaps, and any load-bearing wall changes that require engineering and a permit. We scope all of that before the first swing of the hammer, so the written price reflects what’s actually behind the walls.
Structural Repairs and Permit-Ready Rough-In
In Kendall, a whole-house remodel frequently includes structural repairs that went unnoticed for decades: sagging lintels over original window openings, corroded cast-iron drain lines, or roof strapping that needs to meet current Miami-Dade wind code. We handle those as part of the permit package, not as a surprise change order. The county inspects electrical, plumbing, and load-bearing work before walls close, and we pull every permit ourselves.
Flooring, Windows, and Doors as One Scope
Replacing original aluminum windows and dated doors during a whole-home remodel makes sense in Kendall because single-pane aluminum is an energy and noise problem year-round. Impact window installation typically runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on opening sizes and product, and floor installation gets scheduled after the rough-in passes inspection so new subfloors are clean and flat. We coordinate those trades so the job moves in order.
Luxury Home Remodeling in Kendall
Luxury Home Remodeling in Kendall usually means a kitchen and primary bath overhaul with higher-end materials, custom cabinetry, and fixture packages that need ordering lead time of four to eight weeks. Budgets for these projects commonly fall between $60,000 and $130,000 when they touch multiple rooms, and the material selection drives most of that range. We work with specification-grade brands so you’re not choosing between big-box leftovers: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, and Grohe fixtures are all available through our supplier network.
Kitchen-Level Finish Work
A luxury kitchen in a Kendall CBS home often includes a full cabinet run replacement, quartz or granite counters, a kitchen island, and a tiled backsplash. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000, countertops run $2,000 to $6,500, and an island runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size and plumbing. We order samples early and lock allowances in writing before demo, so there’s no sticker shock when you’re standing in the showroom.
Primary Bath and Walk-In Shower Builds
Luxury primary baths in Kendall usually replace a dated tub with a walk-in shower, upgrade the vanity, and add proper waterproofing that will actually hold up to Florida humidity. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. We use Schluter strip, the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring, on every tiled shower we build, because that’s where water intrusion starts if the edge is left unfinished.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
Kendall homeowners often ask whether we’re locked into one product line. We’re not. We install and service a wide range of professional-grade brands across cabinetry, surfaces, and fixtures, including KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone, Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. We also work with prefab and panelized systems from Abodu, Cover, and Dvele where the project calls for an ADU or a faster build schedule. Because our South FL office coordinates Kendall projects daily, parts and material runs don’t get delayed waiting on a warehouse in another county.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Original cast-iron and polybutylene plumbing: Homes built before about 1995 in Kendall often have supply and drain lines that are at or past their service life. We scope for replacement behind kitchen and bath walls, because the county requires that rough-in to be permitted and inspected before walls close.
- Single-pane aluminum windows with failing seals: The original windows on most 1970s-1990s Kendall homes leak air, rattle in wind, and let heat in during the summer months. Swapping them during a remodel, rather than after, keeps new drywall and paint from getting damaged by moisture.
- Undersized electrical panels and missing dedicated circuits: A 1990s Kendall kitchen often has one shared circuit for everything, which doesn’t meet current code for a range or a microwave. We include panel and wiring upgrades in the permit scope so final inspection passes cleanly.
- Subfloor rot from years of humid walls and old tile: Bathroom floors near original tubs and shower pans frequently show water damage once the old tile comes up. We repair or replace the subfloor and add waterproofing before new tile goes down, instead of tiling over a weak base.
Pricing for Home Remodeling in Kendall, FL
Real numbers help you decide if a project fits your budget before you book a walkthrough. Here are the ranges we see on Kendall projects right now:
| Project | Typical Kendall Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 – $20,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |

What moves a Kendall project toward the high end of those ranges is almost always what’s behind the walls: replacing polybutylene lines, upgrading an electrical panel, or rebuilding a subfloor. What moves it down is a smaller footprint, keeping the existing layout, and choosing mid-tier finishes. We write allowances and scope in plain language on every line item, so you know what’s covered and what a change will add.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Kendall
Yes, and not just for load-bearing changes. Miami-Dade County requires permits and inspections when you touch plumbing, electrical, or structural elements, which means opening a wall to replace cast-iron drain lines or running a new circuit for a range needs sign-off before the wall closes. We pull every permit on your project and schedule the inspections ourselves. Call (803) 680-2547 if you want to know what applies to your specific floor plan.
The main guardrail is a written price before demo starts, with allowances for finishes locked in writing. We avoid vague allowance language, so a Silestone or Caesarstone counter selection doesn’t add thousands at the showroom. The price changes only if you change the scope. Call (803) 680-2547 to see a sample line-item scope for your project type.
A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Kendall typically takes 4 to 10 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on whether rough-in replacement, window swaps, or structural repairs are part of the scope. Whole-home projects run longer, usually 4 to 8 months, because Miami-Dade inspections are scheduled in sequence. We give you a written calendar at contract, not a verbal estimate.
Yes. We work with KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for surfaces, along with Kohler, Moen, and Grohe for fixtures. For prefab and panelized projects, we also work with Abodu, Cover, and Dvele systems. Call (803) 680-2547 to get brand-specific pricing for your Kendall remodel.
We do, from application through final sign-off. That includes plumbing, electrical, structural, and any window or door replacement that falls under Miami-Dade code. You won’t be asked to meet an inspector or chase a permit office. If a county inspector requests a correction, we make it and schedule the reinspection on our timeline.
