Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Ojus
When you need a general contractor in Ojus, the price, the permit path, and the person walking through your door all matter. Here, you’re not dealing with a city building department. Ojus is unincorporated Miami-Dade, which means county zoning, septic and well setbacks, and drainage rules shape every project from day one. Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale has worked those rules for years, and we put a written price in your hands before any work begins. Call (754) 354-3720 and you’ll reach a live person who can talk through your project right then.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Is Ojus’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Most Ojus homeowners we meet have two questions before anything else: who is coming to my door, and what will this actually cost? We answer both before you commit. Every crew member is background-checked, identity-verified, and uniformed under The Threshold Standard. You get the technician’s name and photo before arrival, and they show a photo ID badge at the door. No surprises on people, and no surprises on price. A written price is delivered before work starts, on every project, every time.
We’ve built a strong reputation across Ojus by treating county permitting and open-lot drainage as the real project drivers they are. Our reviews from Ojus customers consistently mention the same things: clear scoping, honest pricing, and crews who clean up after themselves. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our brand’s Miami (South FL) office, but the crews serving Ojus know the local roads, the county inspectors, and the quirks of 1950s – 70s CBS construction. Isaac Pruett, who leads Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale, insists on one standard: the written quote you approve is the price you pay.
Styles & brands we work with
Residential General Contractor in Ojus
Residential General Contractor work in Ojus means something different than it does ten miles south. Because Ojus sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade, a job that looks simple on the surface, like building a detached workshop or adding a bedroom, carries county-level approvals. Zoning sign-off, septic and well setback verification, and drainage review all happen before the first footing goes in. Most Ojus homes are single-story concrete block from the 1950s through the 1970s, with flat or low-slope built-up roofs and original single-pane windows. That housing stock shapes how we frame, how we waterproof, and how we bring the structure up to current wind-load code.
A home addition in Ojus typically runs $45,000 – $130,000. The range is wide because lot size, septic placement, and access all pull the number in different directions. We scope every one of those variables before quoting, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Permit-Ready Planning for Ojus Lots
Before we quote an addition or detached structure, we walk the lot and map the existing septic tank, drain field, and well if there is one. Miami-Dade requires setback verification, and a misplaced addition can force a septic relocation that adds real cost and time. We’d rather catch that in scoping than surprise you after demolition starts.
Scoping Access and Material Delivery
Many Ojus properties sit off narrow, unpaved shellrock drives that a fully loaded concrete truck can’t navigate. When that’s the case, we plan for a pump truck or a material shuttle from the start. It’s a line item you should see before signing, not a change order halfway through.
Hire a General Contractor in Ojus
When you hire a General Contractor in Ojus, you’re really hiring someone to manage the county, the schedule, the subs, and the weather. We take that role seriously. The conversation usually starts with one question: can this be built on my lot, under Miami-Dade rules, without wrecking my budget? We answer with a written scope and a fixed price. An ADU, for example, runs $90,000 – $220,000 in Ojus depending on size, septic, and access. A garage conversion lands between $30,000 and $80,000. Those numbers mean something because we’ve already checked the setbacks and the drainage before we give them to you.
The Threshold Standard on Every Ojus Job
Every technician who steps onto your Ojus property is background-checked, identity-verified, and in a clean marked uniform. You’ll know their name before they arrive and see their photo ID badge when they knock. For homeowners who are often alone or have young kids, that matters. It’s not a perk, it’s how we operate.
Written Price, Written Guarantee
A written price is delivered before any work starts, and every completed project carries a written guarantee with clearly stated terms. If a repair or installation fails, we come back free, no dispute process, no conditions. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies across general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodels. If the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We work with specification-grade materials that hold up in Ojus’s salt air, humidity, and high-velocity hurricane zone. That means GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems when we’re re-roofing a flat or low-slope built-up roof, and impact-rated window lines when we’re replacing original jalousie or single-pane units. Because we order custom-sized impact windows for Ojus’s non-standard 1960s rough openings, we keep lead times tight and parts available locally. You’re not waiting on a stock size that doesn’t fit your house.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Assuming city permits apply. Ojus is unincorporated, so county building department approval and Miami-Dade Water & Sewer sign-offs are required. Missing that stalls the draw schedule and can halt work entirely.
- Skimping on drainage. Open Ojus lots sit near the Oleta River and Snake Creek. Without a graded swale or compacted base, the first heavy rain turns the build into a mud pit and the county flags the erosion control plan.
- Under-scoping access. A 40-ft concrete truck can’t make it down a narrow, unpaved Ojus drive. If that’s your site, we plan for a pump truck or shuttle from the start instead of springing it on you later.
- Non-standard window openings. Original 1960s CBS homes have rough openings that stock impact windows rarely fit. Reframing triggers full permit review under Miami-Dade product approval rules, and that takes time and budget we build into the quote.

What moves the number in Ojus? Septic and well setbacks, driveway access, drainage grading, and whether your structure needs custom-sized hurricane-rated windows. On a one-acre lot off NE 205th Terrace, our crew permitted and built a 600-sq-ft detached ADU with its own septic line and 50-ft well setback. We handled the county variance, coordinated the long material hauls down the private shellrock drive, and graded the open lot so stormwater sheet-flowed away from both structures. Inspection sign-off came before we closed the walls. That’s the kind of scoping that keeps your price honest. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate on your project.

FAQs About General Contractor in Ojus
Structures under 400 sq ft may qualify for a simplified permit path under Miami-Dade rules, but zoning sign-off is still required, and any electrical, plumbing, or habitable use changes the classification. Don’t assume a “storage shed” label gets you around review. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll tell you exactly what your structure triggers before you spend a dollar on plans.
Miami-Dade requires minimum setbacks from septic tanks, drain fields, and wells, and those setbacks often dictate where a detached ADU can sit. On larger Ojus lots this is workable; on smaller ones it can force a redesign or a septic upgrade. We verify setbacks during the site walk, before quoting, so the price you see accounts for reality.
Because Ojus sits near the Oleta River and Snake Creek, and the water table is high. A build without a graded swale or compacted base turns into a mud pit after one heavy storm, and the county’s erosion control plan won’t pass. We build drainage into the scope from day one, not as a reactive fix.
It depends on the age, capacity, and condition of your current system, and whether it was sized for additional bedrooms. Many 1950s – 70s Ojus septic systems are undersized for today’s code. We’ll evaluate yours and tell you plainly whether a connection, an upgrade, or a separate system is required. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll schedule a look.
Long, unpaved drives on Ojus acreage often can’t support a fully loaded concrete truck or a crane delivery. When that’s the case, we budget for a pump truck, a material shuttle, or staged deliveries. Those are predictable costs we include in the written quote, so there’s no surprise line item mid-build.
