Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Manor
General contractor work in Manor usually falls into two buckets: upgrades to builder-grade homes that are only a few years old, and repairs tied to the expansive clay soil that runs through much of east Travis County. Our crews serve Manor weekly, and we schedule around the heat so crews start early in summer. If you’re dealing with drywall cracks, a kitchen that needs real counters, or a bathroom vanity that’s falling apart, call (903) 623-1966 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Austin Is Manor’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’re the General Contractor team that Manor homeowners call when they want to know exactly who is showing up. Every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard, and you get the technician’s name and photo before the visit. When they arrive, they’re in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge at the door. No exceptions, no surprises.
Manor homeowners also tell us they like knowing the price before the work starts. We put it in writing on every project. That means a line-item quote for your kitchen counters, a specific number for the vanity install, and a clear total on the home addition. If the scope doesn’t change, the price doesn’t change. And every project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we fix it at no charge.
Isaac Pruett, who leads Mason Remodeling, has built the team around one simple rule: prove who you are at the door, and put the price on paper before the first tool comes out. That’s how we’ve earned trust in Manor, and that’s how we keep it.
Styles & brands we work with
Residential General Contractor in Manor
Residential General Contractor work in Manor means something different than it does in older Austin neighborhoods. Most homes here were built after 2000 in large planned communities like Shadowglen and Presidential Meadows, with slab-on-grade foundations and builder-grade finishes throughout. The work usually starts with replacing those finishes: laminate counters, hollow-core vanities, basic backsplashes. A typical kitchen remodel in Manor runs $14,000 to $45,000, while a countertop installation alone is $2,000 to $6,500. Bathroom vanity installation falls between $800 and $3,000.
Builder-Grade Finish Upgrades
In newer Manor homes, the first things to go are laminate countertops and basic vanities. We regularly install Cambria quartz and Silestone surfaces in kitchens across Shadowglen, paired with a Kohler sink and a real tile backsplash. The job is straightforward: template the counters, set the sink, install the backsplash, swap the vanities. No plumbing rough-in changes, no structural work, no warranty worries.
Foundation-Related Repairs Before Cosmetic Work
We also handle the less glamorous side of newer Manor construction. When drywall cracks show up in a three-year-old home, the cause is usually the soil, not the framing. We check the slab first, recommend leveling if needed, then handle the cosmetic repair. Skipping that step means the cracks come back.
Hire a General Contractor in Manor
Hire a General Contractor in Manor when the project touches more than one trade, or when a mistake would be expensive. A home addition in Manor runs $45,000 to $130,000, and that’s not a project to coordinate yourself. We manage the subs, pull the permits, and keep the schedule moving. You get one point of contact, one written price, and one guarantee covering the whole job.
Room Additions and Garage Conversions
Many Manor homeowners add square footage before they sell, and garage conversions are common in subdivisions where lot sizes are tight. We handle the framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, and finish work. Every change is documented, and the final price is in writing before we start.
HOA and Warranty Navigation
Before we touch an exterior wall or pour a new slab, we check the HOA requirements. Manor communities like Shadowglen and Presidential Meadows require written architectural approval for additions and conversions. We prepare the drawings, submit the package, and wait for sign-off before any work begins. It adds time, but it prevents a stop-order or a fine. And if your home is still under the builder’s 10-year structural warranty, we sequence the work so rough-in plumbing and electrical stay untouched, keeping the builder’s inspection sign-off valid.
Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
We stock and install professional-grade products from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and we work with Wellborn cabinetry for Manor kitchens and baths. Because we’re in Manor every week, we can get countertop templates scheduled quickly and cabinet orders placed without the usual back-and-forth. If you want Cambria quartz in your Shadowglen kitchen or a Wellborn vanity in your Presidential Meadows bath, we can quote it and install it without sending you to a showroom across town.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Drywall cracks from expansive clay soil. Many Manor subdivisions east of Highway 130 sit on dark, clay-rich prairie soils that shrink in droughts and swell after rain. The result is slab movement and recurring drywall cracks in the first few years. We check the foundation before any cosmetic repair.
- Builder-grade finishes that fail early. Laminate counters peel, basic vanities warp, and backsplashes stain. These aren’t defects; they’re just entry-level materials. Replacement is usually a one-day or two-day job, and it transforms the room.
- Unapproved exterior modifications. Putting up a fence, adding a patio cover, or converting a garage without HOA written approval can trigger a stop-order. We handle the paperwork before the first cut.
- Warranty-voiding plumbing changes. Some homeowners move drains or vents during a remodel without realizing the home is still under the builder’s 10-year structural warranty. Altering rough-in work can void coverage. We sequence the work to avoid that.

FAQs About General Contractor in Manor
You need a general contractor if the job touches more than two trades, like cabinets plus counters plus electrical. Coordinating subs yourself in a newer Manor home is doable for a simple vanity swap, but a kitchen remodel with countertop templating, sink installation, and backsplash work runs smoother with one point of contact and one written price. Call (903) 623-1966 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you honestly if your job is big enough to need us.
Manor’s dark prairie soils shrink and swell with moisture changes, which can move your slab. If we’re doing a kitchen or bath remodel and we see existing drywall cracks or doors that stick, we check the foundation before we set cabinets. Installing expensive counters on a slab that’s still moving means the quartz can crack later. We’d rather catch the soil issue first. Call (903) 623-1966 if you’re seeing cracks and want a straight answer.
No, as long as the work doesn’t alter rough-in plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing framing. We keep countertop replacement and vanity installation to the finish layer, so the builder’s 10-year structural warranty stays intact. We also document the before-and-after so you have a paper trail if a warranty claim comes up later.
Most Manor communities, including Shadowglen and Presidential Meadows, require written architectural approval before any exterior change or addition. That includes garage conversions, patio covers, and room additions. We prepare the application package with drawings and material specs, submit it on your behalf, and don’t start work until the HOA signs off in writing. It takes a few weeks, but it prevents a stop-order or a fine.
For a typical Manor builder home, replacing laminate counters with Cambria or Silestone, adding a tile backsplash, and installing a new sink runs $5,000 to $9,000. If you’re also replacing cabinets or moving walls, you’re into the $14,000 to $45,000 range for a full kitchen remodel. The most common first-upgrade package we install in Manor is around $7,000, all in, with a written line-item quote before we start. Call (903) 623-1966 to get an exact price for your kitchen.
