Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Dallas
Finding a General Contractor in Dallas who actually shows up, puts the price in writing, and handles the surprises an older slab home throws at you is harder than it should be. Mason Remodeling Co Dallas does all three. We’re part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, founded in 2004, and every project starts with a written price before a single tool leaves the truck. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bath update, or home addition in Dallas, call (432) 302-8761 and we’ll schedule your free estimate.
What sets us apart in Dallas specifically is that we know what’s behind these walls. Expansive clay soil, cast iron drain lines from the 1940s in East Dallas, slab movement that racks framing over decades. We plan for it, write allowances for it, and you approve any change in writing before we touch it.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Dallas Is Dallas’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners across Dallas keep calling us back because we do the unglamorous work well. We check what’s behind the drywall before we quote, we pull the right permits whether you’re in a Dallas neighborhood or a MUD district at the county edge, and we don’t let a surprise turn into an argument. The price you approve is the price you see, unless we find something that requires a written change order you sign first.
Our crew verification standard matters here. Before any Mason Remodeling technician walks up your driveway in Lakewood, Casa Linda, or anywhere else in Dallas, you get their name and photo. They arrive in a clean marked uniform and show a photo ID badge at the door. We call it The Threshold Standard, and it’s not optional. For homeowners with young kids or older parents at home, knowing exactly who is coming before the doorbell rings changes everything.
Isaac Pruett leads our Dallas team, and he built the process around one rule: the written price comes first, always. That applies to a $9,000 small kitchen refresh or a $130,000 home addition. Estimates are free. Call (432) 302-8761.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Dallas
Hire a General Contractor in Dallas when the job touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing walls, which is almost every remodel in this city’s slab-on-grade housing stock. A kitchen remodel in Dallas typically runs $14,000 – $45,000. A small kitchen refresh lands between $9,000 – $20,000. Cabinet installation alone is $4,000 – $13,000. Bathroom remodels range from $9,000 – $28,000, and a full home addition starts around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 depending on square footage and structural work.
Structural Work on Moving Slabs
Dallas sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Over 40 or 60 years, that movement racks framing and throws doors out of square. Before we quote any remodel, we check for that movement. If we find undersized studs or shifted load paths, like we did on a 1960s slab-on-grade kitchen in Lakewood, we write a change order for engineered reinforcement before proceeding.
Code Upgrades Once Walls Open
Opening walls in a 1960s Dallas home often triggers electrical grounding upgrades, GFCI requirements in kitchens and baths, and sometimes structural strapping. We budget allowances for these in the contract, so you’re not blindsided. Your inspector signs off, then we close the wall. Written scope, written pricing, no surprises.
General Contractor Services in Dallas
General Contractor Services in Dallas mean managing the full job: permits, scheduling, trade coordination, inspections, and the written scope that holds it all together. A kitchen remodel in East Dallas with cast iron drain replacement, for example, involves a plumber pulling the old line, an electrician updating circuits, a tile setter, a cabinet installer, and a city inspector. We coordinate all of it.
Kitchen Remodels with Drain-Line Reality
Homes in Lakewood and Casa Linda built in the 1940s frequently have cast iron sewer lines that have corroded in the shifting clay. If we find one during a kitchen or bath remodel, the permit requires full replacement. That’s typically an $8,000-plus line item. We write a drain-line allowance into every East Dallas quote so you know the worst case before we open the floor.
Bathroom and Shower Work
A tub-to-shower conversion in Dallas runs $3,500 – $10,000. A walk-in shower installation is $4,500 – $12,000. Vanity installation starts at $800. Every one of those jobs gets a written price, a written guarantee, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise: 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 Dallas
We specify materials we’d put in our own homes. For Dallas kitchens and baths that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, and Grohe fixtures. We also work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems when a remodel expands into replacement windows, which it often does on 1960s Dallas homes with original single-pane aluminum frames. We order direct from these manufacturers and stage materials locally for Dallas projects, which keeps lead times predictable and lets us catch defects before they reach your house.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Framing racked by expansive clay. Slab movement over decades pushes studs and headers out of square. We check door alignment and wall runout before quoting, and we build reinforcement into the scope when needed.
- Cast iron drain lines failing under East Dallas slabs. 1940s-era lines corrode and collapse, and a remodel permit triggers replacement. We write the allowance into the contract so the change order isn’t a shock.
- Contractors building in MUD districts without the right permits. Unincorporated county areas and municipal utility districts each answer to a different permitting authority. We confirm who issues the permit before we start, because a stop-work order costs you weeks.
- Tile and drywall cracks within a year of completion. That’s usually what happens when someone tiles directly over a moving slab without accounting for movement. We use decoupling and movement joints where Dallas’s clay soil demands them.
Pricing for General Contractor in Dallas, TX
General Contractor pricing in Dallas is driven by two things: the age of your house and what’s hiding beneath the slab. Here are the ranges we quote most often for Dallas projects.
| Project | Dallas Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 – $20,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What moves a Dallas quote from the low end to the high end is usually structural: rot repair, beam sizing, drain line replacement, or code-triggered electrical work. We write allowances for these items into every contract. You approve every change order in writing before we proceed. There are no verbal estimates that grow on the final bill. Call (432) 302-8761 for a free, written estimate on your project.

FAQs About General Contractor in Dallas
Opening walls in a 1960s Dallas home typically triggers electrical upgrades: grounding and bonding brought to current code, GFCI protection on kitchen and bath circuits, and sometimes AFCI breakers at the panel. If your home still has a fuse box, the inspector will require a panel replacement before we can close the wall. We write these allowances into the contract upstream, so the permit process doesn’t blow up your budget. Call (432) 302-8761 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your house.
We write a drain-line allowance into every East Dallas remodel quote. If the line fails an inspection or camera scope, we replace it under permit and the allowance covers the cost. If the line is sound, you don’t pay the allowance. That’s how we protect you from an $8,000 surprise change order mid-project.
The clay soil under Casa Linda expands and contracts with moisture every season, and that movement transfers through the slab into your walls. A remodel alone won’t stop it. We check for slab movement before we start and build movement-tolerant details into the scope, like decoupling under tile and properly sized expansion joints. If your foundation needs piering, we’ll tell you before we remodel over it. Call (432) 302-8761 for a straight answer on your specific house.
A standard Dallas draw schedule is deposit, framing, rough-in, and final, with each draw tied to an inspection or milestone you can see. Change orders are priced, written, and signed before that line item is added to the next draw, so the schedule and the budget move together. You never pay for a change you didn’t approve in writing, and our General Contractor team follows this on every Dallas project.
Yes. Even a small bathroom remodel in Dallas requires a permit if you’re moving plumbing or altering framing, and the city will want a licensed contractor on the permit. Some MUD districts and unincorporated county areas have separate rules. We pull the right permit for the right jurisdiction before we start, and we close the permit with a final inspection. No open permits, no exposed liability.
