Mason Homes is a licensed general contractor serving Carrollwood homeowners in Carrollwood Village, Lake Carroll, and Northdale. We handle kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, whole-home renovation, flooring, and countertop installation throughout north Tampa's established residential communities.
Carrollwood is one of Tampa's most popular neighborhoods for remodeling. The community was built primarily in the 1970s-1990s, and many homes still have their original kitchens and bathrooms. CBS (concrete block stucco) construction is standard here — solid structures with good bones that reward smart updates rather than teardowns.

Carrollwood Village is the original planned community in the area, with homes dating to the late 1970s and 1980s. The Carrollwood Village HOA maintains active deed restrictions and an architectural review process — exterior modifications (paint colors, windows, additions, fencing) require HOA approval before you can pull a permit with the City of Tampa. Interior remodels do not need HOA approval. Village homes range from 1,400 to 3,000+ sq ft, with many featuring the enclosed galley kitchens and compartmentalized floor plans typical of the era.
Homes around Lake Carroll offer a mix of 1980s originals and early 2000s new construction. Lot sizes here are generally larger than Carrollwood Village, which gives homeowners room for additions — Florida rooms, bonus rooms, and expanded master suites are common projects. Some lakefront properties have flood zone considerations along the lake edge.
A large residential area north of Carrollwood Village, built primarily in the 1980s-1990s. Northdale homes are mostly single-story CBS construction with 3-4 bedrooms. The most common remodeling request in Northdale: updating original 1980s kitchens — replacing dark oak cabinets, laminate countertops, and fluorescent lighting with painted cabinets, quartz countertops, and recessed LED lighting.
Carrollwood kitchens from the 1970s-1990s share common traits: dark wood cabinets, laminate countertops, single-basin sinks, and closed-off layouts. The most popular upgrade is opening the kitchen to the living area — removing the pass-through wall or bar-height peninsula — and installing new cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, and modern lighting. Mid-range Carrollwood kitchen remodels run $25,000-$65,000 (per Estimate Florida Consulting). Open-concept wall removal adds $8,000-$25,000 depending on structural requirements.

Original Carrollwood bathrooms often feature cultured marble vanity tops, fiberglass tub/shower combos, and vinyl flooring. A standard bathroom update — new vanity, quartz or granite top, tile shower, porcelain tile floor, and updated fixtures — costs $18,000-$45,000 (per NovaCoreBuilders and CraftLine). Tub-to-walk-in-shower conversions are the single most requested bathroom project in Carrollwood.

Many Carrollwood homes still have original carpet, vinyl, or ceramic tile. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the most popular replacement — it handles Florida humidity, resists water, and installs over existing slab foundations without moisture issues. LVP for a typical 1,800 sq ft Carrollwood home runs $8,000-$15,000 installed.

Carrollwood is within the City of Tampa limits. Permits are issued through the Hillsborough County Development Services (hcfl.gov/businesses/permits-and-records).
HOA note: Carrollwood Village and some Lake Carroll subdivisions have active HOAs. If your project includes any exterior changes — window replacements, additions, new entry doors, paint — get HOA approval first, then pull the City permit. Interior-only remodels (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring) do not require HOA approval.
Every Mason Homes project begins with an on-site consultation — we look at the space, listen to your goals, and put together a fixed-scope estimate you can compare line-by-line. No pressure, no obligation.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Carrollwood? A mid-range kitchen remodel in Carrollwood — new cabinets, quartz countertops, flooring, appliances, and lighting — runs $25,000-$65,000 (per Estimate Florida Consulting). High-end projects with custom cabinetry and premium appliances range from $60,000-$100,000. The biggest cost variable is whether you remove a wall to open the kitchen: structural wall removal adds $8,000-$25,000 including the engineering report ($300-$800) and permits.
Do I need HOA approval for a kitchen remodel in Carrollwood Village? Not for an interior-only kitchen remodel. The Carrollwood Village HOA reviews exterior modifications — paint, windows, additions, rooflines. If your kitchen remodel stays inside the existing footprint, you only need a Hillsborough County building permit (for plumbing, electrical, or structural changes). Permit cost: $200-$800. Cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, and painting do not require any permit.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Carrollwood? A standard bathroom renovation — new vanity, countertop, tile shower, flooring, and fixtures — takes 3-5 weeks from demolition to final inspection. Master bathroom remodels with tub-to-shower conversions, heated flooring, or layout changes take 5-8 weeks. Add 10-15 business days for Hillsborough County permit approval before construction starts.
Are Carrollwood homes good candidates for open-concept renovation? Yes. Most 1970s-1990s Carrollwood homes have compartmentalized floor plans with walls separating the kitchen, dining room, and living room. CBS construction means the load-bearing walls are typically the exterior walls — many interior walls are non-load-bearing partitions that can be removed without structural beams. A structural engineer's report ($300-$800) confirms which walls are load-bearing before any work begins.
