General contractor work in Redondo Beach runs $45,000 – $130,000 for a full home addition, $14,000 – $45,000 for a kitchen remodel, and $9,000 – $28,000 for a bathroom remodel.

Why Mason Remodeling Co Torrance Is Redondo Beach’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Our General Contractor team has pulled permits, passed inspections, and finished remodels on Redondo Beach properties from the 1920s beach bungalows near the Esplanade to the 1970s tract homes up toward 190th Street. We know which inspectors serve this city, what the coastal overlay adds to a permit review, and which beach-cottage foundations hide surprises. Homeowners here tend to ask the same three questions before hiring anyone: who is coming to my door, what does it cost in writing, and what happens if something fails later. We answer all three before we ever send a crew.
Every technician we dispatch is background-checked and identity-verified under The Threshold Standard. You receive the crew member’s name and photo before the visit. They arrive in a clean marked uniform, show a photo ID badge at your door, and introduce themselves by name. No anonymous subcontractors, no “we’ll send someone out.” Redondo Beach homeowners, especially those often home alone or with young kids, tell us this is the reason they sign the contract.
We deliver a written price before any work begins. Not a rough estimate, not a verbal range. A line-item price you can hold us to. And every completed project carries a written guarantee with clearly stated terms: what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long – 365 days from the completion date, through our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails in that window, we return and make it right at no charge. Free second visit, no dispute process, no conditions.
Isaac Pruett leads our Redondo Beach work, and he insists on one thing above all: the coastal-spec materials go in every quote, even when the homeowner has never heard of them. That is the difference between a remodel that lasts 8 years and one that lasts 25.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Redondo Beach
A Licensed General Contractor in Redondo Beach handles the scope, permits, scheduling, and inspections for any project that changes the structure, systems, or footprint of your home. That includes kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, room additions, garage conversions, and whole-home renovations. What makes this city different is the coastal building code overlay: within the marine influence zone, fastener materials, flashing specs, and exterior finishes are reviewed more strictly than inland. We plan for that from the first site walk, not after the permit review flags it.
Permits and Coastal Compliance
Redondo Beach pulls building permits through the city’s Community Development Department, and coastal-adjacent properties may trigger additional review. We pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and stay on-site until the final sign-off. If an older cottage has unpermitted additions – and many 1940s and 1950s bungalows do – we verify what’s grandfathered before we start, so you don’t hit a stop-work order mid-project.
When Redondo Beach Homeowners Call Us
Most calls come in three situations: a growing family needs more space without moving, a kitchen or bath has hit the end of its life, or a new buyer just closed on a beach cottage and wants the layout fixed before move-in. Kitchen remodels in Redondo Beach run $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much structural work the existing framing demands. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000, heavily influenced by whether we’re keeping the existing footprint or moving plumbing.
Residential General Contractor in Redondo Beach
A Residential General Contractor in Redondo Beach manages renovation and addition work on single-family homes, duplexes, and small multi-unit structures – essentially everything that requires a building permit and a coordinated crew. On a typical project we’re running the electrician, plumber, framer, tile setter, and the city inspector’s schedule simultaneously. The mild marine climate means we can frame and pour concrete year-round, which matters when you’re trying to get a room addition weather-tight before the fall marine layer settles in.
Home Additions and ADUs
Room additions in Redondo Beach start around $45,000 for a modest bump-out and climb to $130,000 or more for a full second-story or primary suite. ADU construction – garage conversions, detached backyard units – runs $90,000 – $220,000, with the higher end reflecting coastal-grade exterior materials, engineered foundation work, and the tighter setback requirements on Redondo Beach’s narrow lots. We price line-by-line so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Kitchens, Baths, and Whole-Home Work
We quote kitchens and bathrooms with material partnerships across KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe fixtures. That means we can price your remodel with professional-grade materials the same week we walk the space – not two weeks later after we’ve shopped around. Whole-home remodels on 1920s-1950s beach bungalows usually involve rewiring, replumbing, and re-insulating before we even touch the finishes. We budget for that honestly.
Trusted Brands We Service in Redondo Beach
We work with specification-grade manufacturers across every trade we manage, and we’ve installed and serviced products from Abodu for prefab ADUs, Cover for panelized additions, and Dvele for high-performance modular homes. When a Redondo Beach homeowner brings us one of these brands, we handle the site prep, foundation, utility connections, and finish work directly. We keep local stock on fast-moving parts for these systems, which shortens turnaround when a panel needs replacement or a connection detail fails under marine humidity.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Redondo Beach Homes
- Corroded fasteners and failing flashing within the salt-spray zone. Standard galvanized nails and hardware within three blocks of the Esplanade corrode within a decade. We see popped nail heads, rust-stained stucco, and flashing that crumbles when you touch it.
- Unpermitted grandfathered additions on older beach cottages. Many 1920s-1950s bungalows have enclosed porches or added rooms that were never permitted. Starting a remodel without verifying what’s grandfathered can trigger stop-work orders and thousands in added permit fees.
- Painted carbon-steel railings and fence posts that blister and rust. The marine exposure along the Esplanade destroys interior-grade paint and untreated steel within a few years. We specify powder-coated aluminum or stainless for anything facing the ocean.
- Paver patios with failing joints from wind-driven sand and salt spray. Redondo Beach’s persistent dampness plus fine sand works into paver joints, erodes the base, and leaves pavers shifting by year three. We seal joints with polymeric sand and compact the base to marine-grade density.
Pricing for General Contractor in Redondo Beach, CA
Coastal-spec work costs more than inland work, and it’s cheaper over a decade. Here’s what we quote for the jobs we do most often in Redondo Beach:
| Project | Redondo Beach Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement (coastal-spec, stainless/hot-dip hardware) | $10,000 – $22,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel (marine-grade fixtures, sealed joints) | $10,000 – $30,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation (polymeric sand, sealed joints) | $4,000 – $12,000 |
| Vinyl Fence Installation (stainless hardware, concrete posts) | $4,000 – $10,000 |
The gap between an inland-spec roof and an ocean-ready roof on the same Redondo Beach house is typically $3,500 – $5,500. That covers hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails, stainless flashing, and sealants rated for salt air. The inland roof will corrode and need replacement in under 10 years. The coastal roof goes 20 or more. Call (424) 337-6939 and we’ll send a written line-item quote – free, no obligation, and it holds as fixed pricing with no change orders.

FAQs About General Contractor in Redondo Beach
Within three blocks of the Esplanade, yes – you need stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners, period. Standard galvanized nails corrode within a decade in Redondo Beach’s salt air, popping nail heads and rust-staining stucco. Further inland, standard galvanized may survive, but the price difference is small enough that we specify coastal-grade hardware on every project. Call (424) 337-6939 and we’ll quote the exact material delta for your block.
Budget $1,800 – $4,500 above an inland kitchen quote. That covers stainless cabinet hardware, marine-grade hinges, sealed joints on stone surfaces, and moisture-rated underlayment. A standard kitchen remodel in Redondo Beach runs $14,000 – $45,000; a coastal-spec remodel on an ocean-facing home runs toward the higher end of that range. The added cost prevents mold, rust, and swelling that would otherwise surface within a few years.
Marine-grade window frames add $250 – $700 per window, depending on size and whether you’re choosing aluminum, vinyl with stainless hardware, or wood-clad frames. For a home with ocean exposure along the Esplanade or off Catalina Avenue, that typically adds $2,000 – $6,000 to a full window replacement project. The alternative – standard frames with ferrous hardware – will show rust staining and binding within 3 – 5 years of salt air exposure.
Verify it before you start any work. We check building records against the actual floor plan, confirm what’s grandfathered versus what was never documented, and file for retroactive permits where required. This costs $800 – $3,000 in most cases and takes two to six weeks, but it prevents a stop-work order mid-project. Ignoring it is how remodels stall for months. We handle the verification before we ever pull the first permit.
Wind-driven sand and salt spray work into the joints, erode the base, and leave pavers shifting within a few years. Inland paver patios fail from freeze-thaw; Redondo Beach paver patios fail from salt erosion and persistent moisture. We compact the base to marine-grade density and seal the joints with polymeric sand, which locks out sand and salt. A properly sealed patio here runs $4,000 – $12,000 and stays level for 15+ years instead of 5.
On a 1940s beach bungalow off Catalina Avenue, we found original galvanized nails in the roof sheathing so corroded they snapped under finger pressure. Our crew replaced the roof with hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails, stainless flashing, and a raised-seam metal roof. The homeowner had three bids from inland contractors that did not mention salt-air corrosion. Our coastal provisions added $4,200 to the scope of work, but they prevented a repeat failure in under 10 years. That’s the difference between pricing a job for Redondo Beach and pricing it for anywhere else.
If you’re planning a remodel, addition, or whole-home renovation in Redondo Beach, call (424) 337-6939. We’ll put the coastal-spec price in writing before any work starts, introduce you to the crew by name and photo before they arrive, and back the finished job for 365 days.
