Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Horizon West
A general contractor in Horizon West typically charges $8,000 to $20,000 for a roof replacement, $14,000 to $45,000 for a full kitchen remodel, and $8,000 to $25,000 for impact window installation. Most Horizon West projects run through a two-step approval process: first the HOA architectural review board, then the building department permit. We know both steps cold, which means we can sequence the work so your project doesn’t stall halfway through. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll walk you through the schedule from day one.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Orlando Is Horizon West’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Horizon West homeowners deal with something most Florida contractors don’t see every day: a master-planned community where the HOA design review board can veto a roof color before a permit gets pulled. Our crews work in subdivisions like Lakeside at Hamlin, Summerport, and Wickham Park every month, so we already know which submittal packets pass and which ones come back stamped “revise.” That experience keeps your calendar from slipping.
Mason Remodeling Co Orlando operates as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, founded in 2004. Since then, we’ve built a process around one thing: a written price before any work starts. Not a verbal estimate. Not a ballpark. A line-item price, in writing, delivered before the first tool leaves the truck. Every crew member who comes to your Horizon West home is background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before the visit. At the door, they show a photo ID badge and a clean marked uniform. We call it the Threshold Standard, and it’s not optional.
Styles & brands we work with
Residential General Contractor in Horizon West
Residential General Contractor work in Horizon West means managing projects that pass through an HOA architectural review committee that, in this community, genuinely enforces colors, materials, roof pitches, and fence styles. Whether you’re adding a room, redoing a kitchen, or replacing windows, the board wants to see a submittal packet that matches the original builder’s palette. When we take on your project, we file that packet ourselves, often pulling the original builder’s specs so your application looks like it belongs in the neighborhood.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels Under HOA Review
A kitchen remodel in Horizon West runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the HOA approval process is usually triggered when the work changes exterior walls, windows, or any external vents. Interior-only remodels typically sail through, but if you’re bumping out a wall or adding a range hood vent through the exterior, expect the board to want manufacturer specs and color chips. We build that review time into the schedule so your cabinets arrive after approval, not before.
Exterior Work: Windows, Roofing, Additions
Impact window installation in Horizon West averages $8,000 to $25,000, and it’s one of the most common projects here. The HOA almost always requires the new windows to match the existing frames and glass tint. We pull the original window schedule from the builder when we can, which shortens review time. For additions, the board will look at roofline, stucco texture, and exterior paint before you get a permit, so we file both applications in parallel where the municipality allows it.
Hire a General Contractor in Horizon West
Hire a General Contractor in Horizon West who already understands the approval sequence. The wrong approach is to order materials, tear into the work, and hope the board signs off. That’s how homeowners end up with a custom countertop that gets rejected because the stone color doesn’t match the original builder palette, or a paver driveway border that violates the approved streetscape standard. We file first, confirm approval, then pull permits and order materials.
Scheduling Around the HOA Calendar
Most Horizon West architectural review boards meet on a set monthly schedule, and review windows commonly run 30 days. We map your project backward from that date. Demolition starts after the approval letter lands, not before. That way you don’t get a half-torn roof with exposed underlayment sitting through two weeks of thunderstorms while the committee deliberates.
Fixed Pricing and the 365-Day Done Right Promise
Every Horizon West project starts with a written price. No surprise invoices, no change order creep. And every completed job is covered by 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. That’s 365 days from the completion date, stated plainly in writing. If a repair or installation fails, the return visit is free. No dispute process, no conditions.
Trusted Brands We Service in Horizon West
We install and service cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and we source countertops from Cambria and Silestone. For Horizon West homeowners, that matters because many HOA design standards reference specific color lines from these manufacturers. When the board asks for a specific Silestone color or a Wellborn cabinet finish, we can match it without a custom order guess. Our local crews keep common hardware and touch-up materials on the truck for faster turnarounds.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Horizon West Homes
- Builder-grade shingles curling early. Horizon West homes built since 2000 often carry cheap composition shingles that break down under storm-driven UV. We’ve replaced roofs in subdivisions like Lakeside at Hamlin at the 12-year mark, well before the 20-year expectation.
- Stucco cracking in high heat. The subtropical summer heat and intense sun cause stucco to expand and crack, and HOA standards dictate exact patch materials and paint colors. We match the original finish so the repair disappears.
- Countertop orders rejected after the fact. We’ve seen well-meaning homeowners order Cambria or Silestone slabs, only to have the design review board require a different color that matches the original builder palette. That’s a reorder and a delay. We confirm the color with the board before the slab is cut.
- Hurricane-season permit backlogs. During peak storm season, the building department can run a 10-day permit backlog on top of the HOA’s 30-day review. We factor both into the schedule, so you’re not staring at exposed underlayment when the afternoon storms roll in.

FAQs About General Contractor in Horizon West
Typically 30 days. Horizon West HOAs hold monthly design review meetings, so if your submittal misses the cutoff, you wait until the next meeting. We file the packet before we order materials and before we pull permits, so the 30-day review window runs parallel to nothing. The work starts after approval, not before, which means no half-finished project sitting in limbo. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll give you the exact timeline for your street’s board.
Usually yes. Most Horizon West HOAs enforce the original builder’s exterior palette, and that includes stucco color, texture, and even the paint sheen on soffits and trim. We can pull the original builder submittal for your specific lot in many cases, which removes the guesswork. If you want to change colors, we’ll file a variance, but we’ll also tell you honestly whether it’s likely to pass before you spend money on the change. Call (850) 920-7745 to review your HOA’s standards.
In most Horizon West townhome communities, yes. The HOA wants to confirm the new windows match the existing frame profile, glass tint, and grid pattern, so they’ll require a submittal even for like-for-like impact window swaps. The good news is that matching the original window schedule is usually the fastest approval path. We’ve handled this in subdivisions across Summerport and Wickham Park, and we’ll file the packet for you. Call (850) 920-7745 for an exact quote on your windows.
Very unlikely without approval. Garage conversions change your home’s livable square footage and often alter the driveway parking count, which most Horizon West HOAs regulate. You’ll need a design review submittal, and some HOAs restrict garage conversions entirely. Before you plan the layout, we’ll pull your governing documents and tell you what’s enforceable. If the conversion is allowed, expect a garage conversion in Horizon West to run $30,000 to $80,000. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll check your HOA’s rules for you.
Structural changes to the roofline trigger both an HOA design review and a full building department permit with engineering stamps, which can extend the approval timeline beyond the standard 30-day review. The HOA will want to see roof pitch, material specs, and elevation drawings that match the neighborhood’s architectural standard. We coordinate both applications and often submit the same submittal packet the original builder filed, which keeps the board from stalling on unfamiliar details. Call (850) 920-7745 for a free estimate and an honest read on the timeline.
