Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Ojus
Home remodeling in Ojus works differently than in most South Florida communities, and knowing that before you sign anything saves you real money and months of delay. Ojus sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which means your project pulls county permits, not city ones, and almost every renovation triggers FEMA flood-zone rules under the South Florida Building Code. We’re Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale, and our crews know exactly what Ojus inspectors look for, what the elevation certificate actually costs, and why your 1960s CBS windows will probably need custom sizing. Call (754) 354-3720 for a written price before any work starts.
We coordinate scheduling from our Miami (South FL) office, but the crews that show up at your door live and work in this area. They know the difference between a ranch home off West Dixie Highway and a garden apartment near the Oleta River. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You’ll get a name, a photo, and a written price before a single tool comes out of the truck.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Is Ojus’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Ojus homeowners call us because we put the price in writing before work begins, every time. Not a ballpark. Not a verbal estimate that grows on the final bill. A line-item written price that tells you exactly what the county permit costs, what the impact glass costs, and what your kitchen or bath remodel actually totals. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work for a full year from the completion date. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right at no charge.
We’re part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, founded in 2004, and we follow the Threshold Standard on every Ojus job. That means every crew member is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and introduced to you by name and photo before they arrive. They’ll show a photo ID badge at the door. No strangers walking up your driveway. No wondering who’s about to come inside. This matters in Ojus, where many homeowners are home alone during the day, raising young kids, or retired.
Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he’s particular about how a job gets quoted. If a project needs custom-sized impact windows because your 1960s rough openings aren’t stock dimensions, that goes in the written price before we start, not as a surprise change order later.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovation in Ojus
Home Renovation in Ojus means more than updating finishes. It means reconciling what you want inside the walls with what Miami-Dade County requires outside them. Most homes here are single-story concrete block or CBS construction from the 1950s through the 1970s, with flat or low-slope built-up roofs and original jalousie or single-pane windows. When we renovate an Ojus kitchen or bath, we’re usually dealing with 60-year-old rough openings, stucco exteriors that need hurricane-rated tie-downs, and drainage that has to handle heavy summer rainfall without sending water toward the foundation.
A full Home Renovation in Ojus typically ranges from $14,000 to $130,000, depending on whether you’re doing a single room or a whole-home remodel. A kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. If you’re adding square footage, expect $45,000 – $130,000 for a home addition.
Interior Renovation Scope
When we renovate a 1960s CBS ranch in Ojus, we often find original wiring that predates current load requirements and plumbing that’s been patched together over decades. County inspectors will want to see that electrical and plumbing upgrades meet current South Florida Building Code. We price that in from the start.
On a kitchen and bath remodel near the Oleta River, our crew scoped a job where the original jalousie windows had non-standard rough openings. We ordered custom-sized impact windows under Miami-Dade product approval, pulled county permits, and held the draw schedule until the inspection sign-off. The change order for reframing two openings was written before the first saw cut. That’s how it should work.
Exterior and Structural Work
Ojus sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone. Any renovation that touches an exterior wall, a window opening, or a roof line has to meet wind-load requirements. Salt air corrosion, even a few miles from the ocean, affects framing connectors, exterior cladding, and fasteners. We spec materials accordingly, using specification-grade products from manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed for roofing and weatherproofing.
Home Remodeling Companies in Ojus
Home Remodeling Companies in Ojus are not all the same, and the difference shows up in the contract. Some will quote you a number without a written scope of work that names county permits, impact glass, and drainage. Then the draw schedule stalls when an inspector demands an elevation certificate nobody priced. We’re a general contractor with the license and experience to handle the county side of the job, not just the carpentry side. For an overview of how we approach these projects across South Florida, see our Home Remodeling team’s process.
A typical whole-home remodel in Ojus runs $14,000 – $45,000 for a kitchen, $9,000 – $28,000 for a bathroom, and $45,000 – $130,000 for an addition. If you’re comparing companies, ask each one this: will the written price include the county permit, the impact glass, and the drainage review? If they hesitate, keep calling.
Project Pricing and Change Orders
We write a fixed price before any work starts. That price includes the permit line item, the materials, the labor, and the disposal. If a change order is needed because a window rough opening isn’t stock size, we write that change order before cutting, and you sign it before we proceed. No surprise invoices at the end.
Warranty and Follow-Through
Every project we complete in Ojus carries a written guarantee with clearly stated terms, including what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies across general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodels. If a repair or installation fails within that year, we schedule a free return visit. No charge, no dispute process, no conditions.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We install and service materials from manufacturers that stand behind their products in South Florida’s climate. For Ojus roofing and weatherproofing, we use GAF and CertainTeed products that hold up to hurricane wind loads and humidity. We stock common flashing, underlayment, and sealants for these systems, so warranty follow-up and repairs move faster for Ojus customers. For cabinetry, we work with KraftMaid and Wellborn. For surfaces, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. For fixtures, Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. What we won’t do is install a brand we can’t verify, on a home we can’t warranty.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Original jalousie windows that won’t accept stock hurricane-rated replacements. Ojus homes from the 1960s often have non-standard rough openings. Stock impact windows rarely fit without reframing, which triggers full permit review under Miami-Dade’s product approval rules. We measure and order custom sizes before quoting, so the cost is in the written price, not a surprise later.
- FEMA flood-zone complications on interior-only projects. Even if you’re only changing interior finishes, an inspector may ask for an elevation certificate before signing off on structural changes. County permitting in unincorporated Miami-Dade means your remodel lives under FEMA rules, even when you’re not touching the roofline. We pull county permits and handle the certificate request as part of the scope.
- Flat or low-slope roofs with built-up roofing that hides trapped moisture. Many Ojus homes have flat built-up roofs from the 1950s – 70s. When we open a ceiling for a kitchen or bath remodel, we often find water intrusion that needs to be addressed before finishes go in. The fix goes in the written price, not left for the homeowner to discover later.
- Acreage drainage problems near Snake Creek Canal. Lots near the canal or Oleta River can hold water after heavy seasonal rain. If your remodel includes an addition or a detached structure, we check grading and drainage before quoting, because a county setback review can fail on drainage alone. Septic and well setbacks also matter on larger Ojus lots, especially if you’re planning an ADU or workshop.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Ojus
Yes, in most cases. Ojus is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so there’s no city building department to pull from. County permits are required for any structural change, electrical work, plumbing relocation, or window replacement. Even interior-only work can trigger a permit review if an inspector determines that the scope touches load-bearing walls or requires an elevation certificate. We pull every permit our jobs require and price the fees into the written estimate. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific project needs before you sign.
Because Ojus homes are older and often have non-standard rough openings. Many 1960s CBS houses here were built with jalousie or single-pane windows whose frames don’t accept stock hurricane-rated replacements. Custom sizing under Miami-Dade product approval adds 15 – 30% to material cost, plus the labor to reframe openings. Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood have more newer construction with standard openings, so stock windows fit more often. The cost difference is real, and we write the custom-size cost into your Ojus quote before work starts. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate.
A garage conversion in Ojus runs $30,000 – $80,000, but on acreage you should also budget for county permit fees, possible FEMA elevation certificate review, and drainage evaluation. If your lot is near Snake Creek Canal or the Oleta River, the county may require a grading plan or drainage retrofit before the conversion can be signed off. We’ll scope all of that before quoting, so you’re not hit with a stalled draw schedule. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll walk your specific lot.
No, not in Ojus. Detached ADUs in unincorporated Miami-Dade require county permits, FEMA flood-zone compliance, and setback reviews for septic and well clearance. If you’re near Snake Creek Canal, the county’s setback rules can force a redesign or deny the addition outright if drainage isn’t handled. A licensed general contractor who knows the county process is the difference between a permit that clears and a project that dies before the subfloor goes down. We handle ADU construction from $90,000 to $220,000, fully permitted. Call (754) 354-3720 for a written quote.
At the lower end, around $14,000 – $20,000, you’re getting new cabinets, countertops, a sink, and basic electrical and plumbing updates, with permits. At the mid to upper end, $25,000 – $45,000, you’re adding custom cabinetry, Cambria or Silestone countertops, a kitchen island, backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, upgraded fixtures, and possibly new impact windows if your rough openings allow stock sizing. The biggest cost swings in Ojus are custom window sizing, electrical upgrades on older homes, and permit complications from flood-zone rules. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote for your kitchen.
When you’re ready to price your Ojus remodel, call us at (754) 354-3720. A live person answers. You’ll get a name, a photo of the technician coming to your door, and a written price before any work begins. That’s how we’ve done it since 2004, and that’s how we do it in Ojus.
