Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Venice
A general contractor in Venice coordinates the whole job: permits, crew, materials, inspections, and the 47 phone calls in between. Most Venice remodels we handle sit in the $45,000 – $130,000 range for additions, $90,000 – $220,000 for ADUs, and $9,000 – $28,000 for bathrooms, with kitchens running $14,000 – $45,000. If you’re on a walk street east of Abbot Kinney or a canalside cottage, call (213) 632-5711 first, because the salt air and the staging logistics change the plan before the first wall comes down.
We know Venice not as a map pin but as a set of very specific problems: 1920s post-and-pier foundations sitting over shallow groundwater, fog that eats electroplated fasteners, and streets where a dumpster will get cited if you park it wrong. Our crews run jobs from the canals to the avenues, and we price for the coastal conditions, not the inland fantasy.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Los Angeles Is Venice’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We started in 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, and the way we run a Venice job is the same today: every crew member is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and introduced to you by name and photo before they step through the gate. That matters on a walk street where a stranger with a wheelbarrow could be anyone. It matters more when you’re often home alone or have young kids in the house.
The Threshold Standard is a named process, not a sales line. You get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, a photo ID badge at the door, and a clean marked uniform. Mason Remodeling, led by Isaac Pruett, puts a written price in front of you before any work starts, on every project, every time. No verbal estimates that grow on the final bill.
We carry a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. Every completed project gets a written guarantee with clearly stated terms, including what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long. And a live person answers the phone at (213) 632-5711 around the clock, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays.
Styles & brands we work with
General Contractor Services in Venice
General Contractor Services in Venice mean running the entire job from a single point of accountability: design coordination, structural engineering, permit pulls, demo, framing, finish work, and final inspection sign-off. This is what a Venice homeowner needs when the project touches load-bearing walls, plumbing, electrical, or the foundation, or when the scope is large enough that sub-contractors would otherwise pass you around like a voicemail loop. Kitchen remodels here run $14,000 – $45,000; a small kitchen, $9,000 – $20,000; cabinet installation, $4,000 – $13,000; countertops, $2,000 – $6,500.
Coastal-Spec Kitchen and Bath Work
We don’t spec cabinets and tile the same way for a beach bungalow as for an inland home. Salt air means we call for marine-grade hinges, stainless drawer slides, and sealed edges on exposed millwork. Bathroom remodels in Venice run $9,000 – $28,000; walk-in showers, $4,500 – $12,000; tub-to-shower conversions, $3,500 – $10,000.
Whole-Home and Addition Coordination
A whole-home remodel in Venice means coordinating the structural engineer, the coastal zone consultant, and the inspector, then keeping the schedule moving when fog delays stucco curing. Home additions run $45,000 – $130,000; ADU construction, $90,000 – $220,000; garage conversions, $30,000 – $80,000.

Construction Company in Venice
A Construction Company in Venice handles permits, site logistics, materials, crews, and inspections when a job is too big to run as a handyman call. The day-to-day of it is less glamorous than the renderings: protecting the sills from rain during rough framing, scheduling concrete pours around high-tide groundwater, and staging drywall on a sidewalk without blocking the mail carrier. Driveway replacement runs $5,000 – $14,000; paver patios, $3,500 – $11,000; paver driveways, $7,000 – $18,000.
Permitting and Coastal Zone Work
Venice sits inside the California Coastal Zone, which adds a layer of review on top of standard L.A. city permits. We coordinate the paperwork, the comments, and the resubmissions, and we don’t start demolition until the permit is in hand. Roof replacement runs $8,000 – $20,000; roof repair, $400 – $1,800; impact windows, $8,000 – $25,000.
Foundation and Structural Repairs
Post-and-pier foundations under 1900s bungalows need a different eye than slab-on-grade construction. We inspect for rusted post anchors, rotted sills, and drainage problems before we quote a remodel, because you can’t tile over a foundation that’s still moving. Concrete driveway installation runs $4,500 – $12,000; driveway sealing, $250 – $700.
Trusted Brands We Service in Venice
We install and service specification-grade systems from KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for surfaces, Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe for fixtures, and GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning for roofing. On the modular and prefab side, we’ve coordinated with Abodu, Cover, and Dvele on ADU and addition projects in Venice. We keep common replacement parts staged for Venice jobs, and because we’re working from the Los Angeles office, a hardware run doesn’t stall a workday.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Venice Homes
- Electroplated hardware failing within two winters. Standard deck hangers, zinc fence posts, and mild steel anchor bolts rust visibly within 5 – 7 years a half-mile from the beach. We specify hot-dip galvanized and stainless hardware, which costs more up front and gets you out of a rebuild cycle.
- Shallow groundwater under post-and-pier foundations. New pier pads heave or sink without compacted gravel and proper drainage, and drywall cracks appear within a year. We test soil and drainage before we pour, and we write the fix into the plan, not into a change order.
- Walk-street demo logistics eaten by a dumpster citation. Starting a walk-street demo without a neighbor driveway staging agreement means the first dumpster gets cited and the hand-carry change order eats the allowance. We secure staging agreements before we mobilize.
- Historic bungalow window and trim rot from fog. Original 1920s wood windows and sashes rot from salt fog on the ocean side of the building. We replace with marine-rated Douglas fir or fiberglass and prime all six sides before installation.
Pricing for General Contractor in Venice, CA
A remodel runs on the coastal plan, and the coastal plan runs on stainless and hot-dip hardware, not the electroplated box-store stuff. That accounts for a portion of the difference between a Venice bid and a Mar Vista bid on the same footprint.
| Project | Venice Price Range |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 – $220,000 |
These ranges reflect what we’re quoting right now across Venice, from Oakwood to the canals. The spread is wide because a 30-square-foot bathroom in a stucco cottage is a different job than a master bath with a wet room on a walk street. Call (213) 632-5711 and we’ll give you a written, line-item price before any work starts. Free estimates, no obligation.

FAQs About General Contractor in Venice
A Venice kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000, and the delta over an inland kitchen comes down to materials and staging. Within a half-mile of the beach, we specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware, marine-grade cabinet hinges, and sealed edge treatments on exposed millwork, all of which cost 15 – 30% more than inland-spec equivalents. Walk-street access adds hand-carry labor and neighbor driveway staging agreements that don’t exist on a standard lot. Call (213) 632-5711 for an exact quote for your street.
We hand-carry materials from the nearest cross street or neighbor driveway, and we secure the staging agreement in writing before demolition day. That means dumpsters, lumber drops, and concrete pumping all get planned around neighbor access, and the labor cost is written into the bid, not discovered mid-job. Call (213) 632-5711 and we’ll come walk your street and tell you exactly how we’d stage it.
Yes, with the right permits and the right materials. Venice’s historic preservation review may require matching the original window profile, and the Coastal Zone adds its own layer of approval. We work with marine-rated Douglas fir or fiberglass replacements, prime all six sides, and submit the window schedule as part of the permit package. You’ll get modern glass and the original look. Call (213) 632-5711 to talk through your street’s specific review process.
We inspect the foundation brackets and sill plates. On a canalside cottage off Eastern Canal, we pulled a rotted 1920s wood-frame kitchen subfloor and found the original galvanized post anchors reduced to rust flakes from decades of salt fog. Before the subfloor went back, we specified hot-dip galvanized post bases, stainless joist hangers, and a pressure-treated sill plate, then tied the new scope into the same permit that required inspection sign-off on the bracket replacement. Call (213) 632-5711 and we’ll do the same inspection on your place before we write a bid.
We tie draws to completed, inspected milestones, not to calendar dates. Foundation and framing sign-off triggers one draw; rough electrical, plumbing, and mechanical trigger the next; cabinetry, countertops, and tile trigger the third; and final inspection releases the last. Before any work starts, you get a written price and a written draw schedule that matches the scope. Call (213) 632-5711 and ask for a sample draw schedule on your job.
If you’re weighing a general contractor for a Venice remodel, the fastest way to get a real number is to call (213) 632-5711. We’ll walk the site, check the foundation, check the staging constraints, and give you a written price with the coastal-spec materials already in it. Estimates are free, and there’s no obligation to move forward.
