Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Westwood Lakes
Home remodeling in Westwood Lakes, FL means working on homes built mostly in the 1960s and 70s, and that changes the scope of nearly every project. We know these houses: the cast-iron drain lines, the 100-amp panels, the load-bearing walls that sit exactly where you want the kitchen opened. Mason Remodeling serves Westwood Lakes with written pricing that accounts for what these homes actually conceal behind the drywall. If you’re planning a kitchen, bath, or whole-house remodel, call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home is likely to need before anyone opens a wall.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Westwood Lakes’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Westwood Lakes homeowners tend to ask the same three things: who is showing up, what it will cost, and what happens if it is not right. Our answer starts with The Threshold Standard. Every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified, arrives in a clean marked uniform, and shows a photo ID badge at the door. You receive the technician’s name and photo before the visit, not after. For customers who are home alone or have young children, that is not a perk. It is the difference between opening the door with confidence and not opening it at all.
Isaac Pruett founded Mason Remodeling in 2004 within the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, and the way we price has not changed since: a written price before any work starts, on every project, every time. No verbal estimate that grows on the final bill. In Westwood Lakes, where a simple kitchen update can become a plumbing rough-in replacement, that written price and the change-order process behind it are what keep budgets sane.
Every completed project carries a written guarantee with plainly stated terms. 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. Our Home Remodeling team applies that standard to kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, additions, and whole-house projects across the community.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Companies in Westwood Lakes
Home Remodeling Companies in Westwood Lakes work on a housing stock that is largely unchanged since it was built. Most homes still carry their original floor plans, their original cast-iron waste lines, and their original 100-amp electrical services. A kitchen remodel in Westwood Lakes typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, with small kitchen remodels landing between $9,000 and $20,000. Bathroom Remodeling in Westwood Lakes runs $9,000 to $28,000. Those numbers move when hidden conditions surface, and we will tell you exactly which conditions to expect in your house before we ever touch a wall.
Written Change Orders, Not Verbal Extras
When a 1970s galley kitchen in Westwood Lakes opens up and the cast-iron drain is rotten, that is not a surprise we deliver as a casual phone call. It is a written change order with a firm price, approved by you before any additional work begins. The goal is that the final bill matches what you knew was coming.
Permits Pulled When the Scope Requires Them
Removing a wall is not automatically cosmetic. In Westwood Lakes homes, interior walls are sometimes load-bearing even when the original drawings suggest otherwise. Mason Remodeling pulls a permit whenever structural work, plumbing rough-in, or electrical service changes enter the scope. The inspection sign-off protects the work and the resale value of the house.
Whole House Remodel in Westwood Lakes
A Whole House Remodel in Westwood Lakes usually means taking a well-loved 1960s or 70s build and bringing every system in it up to a consistent standard. That includes the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, windows, doors, and often the panel feeding it all. Whole-house remodels are priced as a single contract with a single written price, but the scope is broken into phases so you can see exactly where the money goes. Home additions run $45,000 to $130,000 in this market, and whole-house projects that touch every room typically build from each space’s individual remodel range upward. Call (803) 680-2547 and we will scope your house honestly.
One Contract, Clear Phasing
Mason Remodeling writes a whole-house project as one contract with cost by phase: demolition, rough-in, finishes, and close-out. That structure means the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to the entire job from the day the final inspection signs off, not to each phase separately. Homeowners see the total price, and they see it before we start.
Structural Repairs and Systems Upgrades
Most whole-house remodels in Westwood Lakes include some structural repair once framing is exposed, plus window replacement and door replacement where the originals have failed. We carry specification-grade product lines from KraftMaid, Silestone, Kohler, and Moen, so the materials match the quality of the new systems behind them. Any structural repair that touches load-bearing framing gets a permit and an inspection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lakes
Mason Remodeling works with specification-grade materials from names like Sakrete, Kohler, and Cambria, and we keep local parts access for Westwood Lakes customers in mind when we order. If you already have Kohler fixtures and want the remodel to match, or you have picked Silestone countertops and need the cabinet spec to line up, we can make that happen without a second sourcing delay. The material partnerships mean you are not choosing between what the local supply house happens to stock and what the design actually calls for.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Westwood Lakes Homes
- Cast-iron drains at the sink wall. On SW 106th Ave in Westwood Lakes we took a galley kitchen down to the studs and found the cast-iron drain at the sink wall rusted through. We pulled a plumbing permit and re-ran the rough-in before setting KraftMaid cabinets and a Silestone top. The surprise was honestly priced as a change order, and the inspector’s sign-off on the new drain line passed on the first walk.
- 100-amp panels under-realized in scope. A 1970s house in Westwood Lakes with an electric range, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a new island outlet circuit can max out a 100-amp service quickly. If the panel needs replacement, that is a written change order, not a handshake. We price it before we touch it.
- Galvanized supply lines behind original walls. Many Westwood Lakes homes still have galvanized steel supply piping. When the water is off and the walls are open, that is the cheapest moment to replace it. Missing that moment means paying to open the walls again later.
- Load-bearing walls hidden in the floor plan. The open-concept kitchen you want may sit where a bearing line runs. Miami-Dade permitting and inspection review catches this, and we would rather catch it first. Unpermitted removal is expensive and delays closing when you sell.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Westwood Lakes
A Westwood Lakes kitchen remodel at $14,000 to $45,000 typically includes demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in as far as it already exists, cabinet installation, countertop installation, backsplash, sink and faucet, and finish electrical. What it does not automatically include is replacement of failed cast-iron drains, panel upgrades, or structural work, and if those appear, you approve the written change order before we proceed. Call (803) 680-2547 for a line-item price on your specific kitchen.
In Westwood Lakes, any remodel that touches load-bearing walls, plumbing rough-in, electrical service changes, or structural repairs requires a permit and inspection in Miami-Dade County. Cosmetic finishes, cabinet swap-outs, and countertop replacement on existing boxes usually do not. Mason Remodeling pulls permits for every phase that legally requires one, and we never ask you to sign off on skipping an inspection.
A small kitchen remodel with no hidden conditions runs about four to six weeks from start to final walkthrough in Westwood Lakes. A whole-house remodel runs four to eight months depending on scope. The honest variable in Westwood Lakes is what we find when the walls open, and we would rather tell you that on day one than pad a promise we cannot keep. We provide a realistic calendar in the written scope.
Cast-iron drain replacement, a 100-amp panel upgrade, galvanized supply lines, or load-bearing conditions behind a wall are the four items that most often change a remodel price in Westwood Lakes. Each one gets a written change order with its own line-item price before any work starts on that item. Nothing is added to your bill on a verbal promise.
Yes, Mason Remodeling writes whole-house remodels in Westwood Lakes as a single contract with phased pricing, so the 365-Day Done Right Promise runs from final inspection across the entire project. You get one written price, one schedule, one point of contact, and one guarantee. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free walkthrough and scope.
