Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Oakland Park
Hiring a general contractor in Oakland Park means trusting someone with a home that likely has 60-year-old plumbing, original electrical panels, and concrete block walls that don’t forgive mistakes. We get that. Mason Remodeling has worked through enough Oakland Park remodels to know exactly what hides behind those terrazzo floors and low-pitch roofs. Our crews arrive with a written price already in your hands, every technician’s name and photo sent to you before the visit, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise behind every job. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule your free estimate.
The older neighborhoods east of Dixie Highway and the newer townhome developments west toward I-95 each come with their own set of code triggers. That local knowledge is the difference between a quote that holds and one that balloons once walls are open.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Is Oakland Park’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Oakland Park homeowners call us because we don’t bid blind. Before we write a single number, we look at the era of the home, the roof pitch, the panel, and the plumbing. That inspection-first process catches what most contractors discover mid-job, when the budget is already blown.
Our customers in Oakland Park consistently mention the same three things: the written price showed up before work started, the crew arrived in clean uniforms with photo ID badges, and when a surprise did surface, it was priced and approved on paper before we touched it. No verbal estimates. No change orders that arrive as a surprise invoice at the end.
Every Mason Remodeling project is covered by a written guarantee with clearly stated terms, and if a repair or installation fails, we come back free, no dispute process. That’s the Threshold Standard, named after the Threshold Group family of home-service companies we’ve been part of since 2004.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Oakland Park
A Licensed General Contractor in Oakland Park should be the person who handles the structural, plumbing, electrical, and wind-mitigation work that a permit triggers when walls come open. That’s precisely what our team does. For an Oakland Park remodel, that often means a kitchen in the $14,000 – $45,000 range, a bathroom at $9,000 – $28,000, or a whole-home overhaul that can run $45,000 – $130,000 depending on scope and code upgrades.
Permit-Ready Scope of Work
We pull permits on every job that requires them, and we walk through Oakland Park’s structural and wind-load reviews before demolition starts. If your 1958 ranch needs hurricane strapping added when a wall opens, that’s accounted for in the contract, not a stop-work order later.
Change Orders That Don’t Surprise You
When we find what’s hidden, we write a change order, hand it to you, and wait for your signature before cutting further. No pressure. No “trust us.” Just the actual price for the actual work.
Residential General Contractor in Oakland Park
A Residential General Contractor in Oakland Park takes on the jobs that make a house function: kitchen remodels, bathroom overhauls, room additions, and the repairs that come with a 1960s concrete block home. Our Oakland Park kitchen remodels run $14,000 – $45,000. Small kitchens start around $9,000 – $20,000. Bathroom remodels range $9,000 – $28,000, while a walk-in shower installation typically lands between $4,500 and $12,000.
Whole-Home and Addition Work
For a room addition in Oakland Park, expect $45,000 – $130,000. That includes proper elevation, flood vents where FEMA requires them, and roof tie-ins that meet current wind code. A garage conversion in older neighborhoods often runs $30,000 – $80,000.
Mid-Century Home Expertise
Oakland Park’s housing stock isn’t generic. The original concrete block texture, the terrazzo, the low-slope roofs. We match them. That’s not a favor; it’s the job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Oakland Park
For impact windows and exterior openings on Oakland Park homes, we regularly work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems products because they hold up to Broward County wind-load requirements and the salt air that corrodes cheaper frames within a few seasons. We also specify Mr-Glass for certain retrofit applications where the existing frame stays. Because we coordinate directly with suppliers, our Oakland Park customers aren’t waiting weeks for a special-order sash or a replacement panel. Parts arrive, crews schedule, and the job keeps moving.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes
- Brittle gray water pipes under terrazzo floors. In the 1950s-60s ranches east of Dixie Highway, original gray water lines get hairline cracks from decades of high-water-table exposure, and the first sign is often a warm spot on the tile. Repair means cutting through terrazzo, and matching that finish afterward is a skill most contractors never learn.
- Undersized and outdated electrical panels. Original 60-amp panels can’t pass an inspection once you add a modern kitchen or a new bathroom circuit. We write a panel upgrade into the initial contract as an allowance, so it’s not a mid-job surprise.
- Failed waterproofing on low-pitch roofs. Oakland Park’s flat and low-slope roofs collect water during tropical storms, and decades of patch jobs leave rot underneath. Before we tie an addition into one, we open and inspect. Skipping this means your new addition fails the structural review.
- Non-compliant elevations on flood-zone lots. Many Oakland Park homes sit low enough that FEMA flood zone rules dictate finished floor heights and flood vents. We pull the elevation certificate and build to it, so your final inspection doesn’t stall over a non-compliant slab.

FAQs About General Contractor in Oakland Park
We cut the terrazzo only where the leak is, then patch and polish to match the surrounding finish. The patch won’t be invisible, but it will be close enough that you don’t see it from standing height. Full floor replacement is never the first recommendation unless the terrazzo is already failing. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free assessment.
Usually not a separate permit, but the structural review on your remodel permit will require it before you close the wall. We handle the strapping as part of the scope of work so your inspection passes the first time. It’s written into the contract up front, not added after the wall is open.
Because almost every home from the 1950s and 60s in Oakland Park has an original panel that can’t carry a modern kitchen or bath load and won’t pass current code. We write the allowance as a dollar range, and you approve the exact number when we settle the final scope. No one gets a surprise invoice for $3,500 on panel work. Call (754) 354-3720 to get an actual line-item quote.
We tie the new roof into the existing structure using hurricane clips and straps rated for Broward County wind loads, and we follow the elevation and slope requirements from your permit’s structural review. Low-pitch roofs need specific underlayment and flashing details to prevent the ponding that’s common after Oakland Park downpours. That’s included in the written price.
Yes. Matching that 1950s block texture is a craft, and our crews in Oakland Park have done enough additions to blend new block with old. We don’t promise a perfect match, but we get close enough that the addition looks like it belongs. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate on your room addition.
In Royal Palm Acres, we opened up a 1958 ranch for a kitchen remodel and found the original galvanized supply lines were so corroded the water pressure test failed before we even got to rough-in. Our crew wrote a change order for the entire re-pipe, brought the panel up to current wind-mitigation standards, and re-poured the slab after adding flood vents. The homeowners got a new kitchen and a home that finally passed inspection sign-off.
