Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Miami
Finding a general contractor in Miami who shows up, communicates, and puts the price in writing before work starts shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Sawyer Remodel Miami handles kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, and additions across Miami, Miami Gardens, and Coral Gables, with crews who understand what it takes to build here. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every job runs under the Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price, a live arrival time, and photo updates throughout the project. Call (850) 801-8046 for a free estimate.
Why Sawyer Remodel Miami Is Miami’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Miami homeowners call us because we run jobs on a standard that removes the normal contractor anxiety. The Relay Standard means you receive a written price before a single tool is picked up, a live arrival time so you’re not burning a day waiting, and before-and-after photo updates without having to ask. Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle every phase of the work, so the person at your door is someone we’ve vetted, not a sub we met yesterday. Luca Romano leads the team, and his name is on the work.
We also answer the phone like a business that actually wants the job. Live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops. If you’re deciding between a few General Contractor options in Miami, ask them what their written guarantee covers and for how long. We’ll tell you ours before you even ask: the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every project. If it’s not done right within a year of completion, we make it right.
Working on tight Miami lots, from Shenandoah to Little Havana to the condo corridors of Brickell, teaches you lessons you can’t get from a manual. You learn how to stage materials on a 40-foot frontage without blocking a neighbor’s car. You learn which older concrete-block homes have corroded rebar hiding behind stucco. You learn that a “simple” porch addition in Miami-Dade can trigger a roof-to-wall connection retrofit. Our crews plan for that before the first cut, not after the inspector shows up.
Styles & brands we work with
General Contractor Services in Miami
General Contractor Services in Miami cover the full scope of residential work: kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, room additions, basement finishing, and deck construction. In Miami, the framing, the waterproofing, and the finish work all have to answer to a specific set of demands: salt air, hurricane wind-load requirements, and dense lot constraints. A kitchen remodel in Miami runs $16,520 to $53,100. A bathroom remodel runs $10,620 to $33,040. A home addition runs $53,100 to $153,400 depending on structural work and code triggers.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels Built for Miami Conditions
Kitchen and bathroom remodels in Miami need moisture-resistant materials and finishes that won’t fail in 90% humidity. We install Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where tile meets the floor) as standard practice, not an upgrade. Prices are written plainly: a small kitchen remodel runs $10,620 to $23,600; a small bathroom remodel runs $5,900 to $14,160; a walk-in shower installation runs $5,310 to $14,160. We’re glad to explain exactly what each line item covers before work begins.
Home Additions and Structural Work
Room additions, garage conversions, and ADU construction in Miami are heavier jobs here than in most markets. An ADU construction project runs $106,200 to $259,600. A garage conversion runs $35,400 to $94,400. The numbers include planning for HVHZ compliance, which changes what can be done with existing walls, roofs, and foundations. We’ll walk you through the scope honestly before you sign anything.

Construction Company in Miami
Construction Company work in Miami means delivering a finished project while managing constraints that don’t exist in Orlando or Tampa. Our crews handle the full build, coordinating subs, pulling permits, and scheduling inspections. Impact window installation runs $9,440 to $29,500. Roof replacement runs $9,440 to $23,600. A full home addition runs $53,100 to $153,400. Those aren’t ballpark guesses. They’re what we’ve priced and built in this market.
Site Logistics on Tight Lots
One of the most overlooked parts of Miami construction is staging and site access. On a zero-lot-line home in Shenandoah, our crew staged materials in a single driveway lane and used a portable storage pod to keep the narrow street clear. It’s a small planning detail that keeps neighbors from calling the city and keeps material deliveries from becoming a traffic problem. Access affects the quote, not just the schedule. If a crane can’t reach your lot, or a dumpster can’t sit on-street, that changes cost and timeline. We factor that in up front, not after you’ve signed.
Permits and Inspections, Handled Directly
Miami-Dade permitting is its own animal. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and take responsibility for passing them. We don’t ask you to be the general and chase paperwork. When an inspector flags something, we’re on-site to address it, and any change order is run past you in writing with a clear price before moving forward.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We install and service a set of brands we’ve come to trust in Miami’s climate, where hurricane impact resistance and corrosion resistance aren’t optional features. For exteriors, we work with PGT and CGI impact windows, and CWS for durable window and door systems. For interior remodels, we specify materials from Cambria, Caesarstone, Kohler, KraftMaid, and James Hardie. Using components with real manufacturer backing, from brands with a track record in coastal markets, means you’re not getting a mystery supplier’s closeout. We keep inventory access tight for Miami customers so material delays don’t become schedule delays. When we quote you a brand, it’s a brand we’ve installed, warrantied, and stood behind.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Corroded rebar in mid-century concrete-block homes. Salt air penetrates stucco over decades, rusts the steel inside, and causes spalling that cracks the surface. Our crews have dealt with this repeatedly in neighborhoods like Shenandoah and Little Havana, where original 1950s block homes are being renovated today. We inspect for it early, not after the wall is open and the permit is at risk.
- Missing or outdated hurricane straps in pre-code wood-frame cottages. Many 1920s and 1930s homes in Miami never had roof-to-wall ties installed. Adding a porch, carport, or even a window often triggers the HVHZ retrofit requirement. That scope expansion should be explained before you set a budget, not as a surprise change order mid-project.
- Party-wall notice failures in zero-lot-line neighborhoods. Dense areas like Shenandoah and Coral Gables have homes sharing walls less than three feet apart. If a remodel affects a shared wall, Miami requires a party-wall notice to the neighbor. Missing this step leads to stop-work orders and a fast way to create a hostile neighbor. We handle the notice as part of our paperwork.
- Staging and parking underestimates. On tight Miami lots, there’s often nowhere to put materials, a dumpster, or a work truck without blocking a driveway or a narrow street. Poor planning triggers neighbor complaints, delayed deliveries, and sometimes fines. We plan site logistics before quote day, so the number you approve reflects your actual access, not a suburban ideal.

FAQs About General Contractor in Miami
The High Velocity Hurricane Zone code means any structural addition like a porch or carport triggers a full roof-to-wall connection retrofit if your home predates those requirements. We identify this trigger during the estimate, price it in writing, and coordinate the rough-in, inspection sign-off, and any change order before we close walls. Call (850) 801-8046 if you want us to check your home’s exposure.
Yes. We plan material staging and equipment placement before the job starts, using driveway lanes, portable storage pods, and scheduled deliveries that match the work phase. We’ve done this on tight lots in Shenandoah and Coral Gables. Your quote will reflect the actual access we’ll have on-site.
If the work affects a wall shared with an adjacent property, yes, Miami requires a party-wall notice to the neighbor before certain work begins. We prepare and serve the notice, and coordinate any needed access or protection. Skipping this is a common source of stop-work orders. Call (850) 801-8046 to get a free estimate on your specific project.
The inspector will flag it and require the damaged steel to be treated or replaced before the wall can be closed. We’ve handled this many times in older Miami concrete-block homes. We’ll stop, show you exactly what was found, price the repair in writing, and bring in the engineer if the city requires one. You approve the cost before we proceed.
Access is part of the price. If we can’t get a dumpster on-site, if deliveries have to be hand-carried, or if a crane can’t reach your roof, those are real costs we factor into the written quote, not surprises added later. Your estimate reflects what it will actually take to build on your lot. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll walk the site with you.
