Trusted General Contractor for Miami Homeowners
Finding a general contractor in Miami who shows up when they say they will, puts the price in writing before the first tool comes off the truck, and keeps you updated with photos between visits shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Sawyer Remodel Miami has done remodeling work under The Relay Standard since 2005, and every job runs on The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live arrival time, before-and-after photo updates, and a written price approved by you before work starts. Luca Romano leads the team here, and he’s built the crew around one idea: you should never have to chase a contractor. Call (850) 801-8046 and a live person answers, 24/7.
Construction Company
Construction Company is the catch-all term for a licensed firm that runs building and remodeling projects from the first permit to the final walkthrough. You need one when the job involves multiple trades: a bathroom remodel pulling a plumber, an electrician, and a tile setter into the same room, or a whole-home renovation that touches framing, drywall, and HVAC. Sawyer Remodel Miami, a General Contractor - Miami, handles these scopes with a written price before work starts, and our projects in Miami typically fall in the $10,620 to $53,100 range depending on the finish level. A small bathroom remodel starts around $5,900, while a full kitchen remodel with new cabinets and countertops lands between $16,520 and $53,100.
Multi-Trade Coordination
The hard part of a construction project isn’t any single trade’s work. It’s the sequencing: drywall can’t close until the rough-in inspection passes, tile can’t set until the waterproofing cures. Our crew schedules each trade in order and confirms arrival times the day before.
Permit Handling
Miami’s building department has its own rhythm, and pulling permits for structural work takes time and persistence. We file the paperwork, meet the inspector on site, and don’t ask you to figure out which forms go where.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor
Remodeling Contractor is the specific term for a builder who focuses on transforming existing spaces rather than new construction. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Kendall, Coral Terrace, and Coconut Grove call our Coral Gables General Contractor team when the footprint stays the same but everything inside it changes. Sawyer Remodel Miami has remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, and full homes across Miami since 2005, and every quote includes a fixed price for the scope, not an estimate that drifts. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $4,130 to $11,800, a walk-in shower installation $5,310 to $14,160, and a vanity replacement $945 to $3,540.
Demo and Rebuild
We protect the parts of the house that stay. Floors get covered, doorways get zippered off, and the demo crew removes exactly what’s scheduled to come out, nothing more.
Finish-Level Selection
Our material partners include Cambria and Caesarstone for countertops and KraftMaid for cabinetry, so you’re choosing from manufacturer-backed products, not whatever’s on sale at the local supplier this week.
Licensed General Contractor
Licensed General Contractor means the person responsible for the job carries a state-issued license, pulls permits in their own name, and answers to the building department when an inspector walks through. In Miami, unlicensed work is a real problem, especially after storm seasons when out-of-town crews flood the market. Sawyer Remodel Miami operates with full licensing and insurance on every job, and Luca Romano’s name goes on every permit application. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the work in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year after the project closes.
Inspection Compliance
When an inspector flags an issue, we fix it. That’s the point of the license: it’s accountability you can verify through the state, not a promise you hope gets kept.
Insurance Coverage
Licensed contractors carry workers’ compensation and liability coverage. If a crew member gets hurt on your property or a wall gets damaged, you’re not the one on the hook.
Residential General Contractor
Residential General Contractor is the term for a GC who works on homes rather than commercial buildings or industrial sites. The difference matters: residential work means living around a construction zone, protecting your family’s daily routine, and understanding what a kitchen remodel does to a household. The Home Addition scope is where this shows up most dramatically. In Miami, additions run $53,100 to $153,400, while ADU construction starts at $106,200 and a garage conversion runs $35,400 to $94,400. We’ve worked on
Living-In-Place Remodels
Most Miami homeowners stay in the house during the remodel. We schedule noisy work in blocks, keep dust contained, and make sure you can still make coffee in the morning while the tile sets in the bathroom.
Home Addition Sequencing
An addition isn’t just building new walls. It’s tying rooflines together, matching exterior finishes, and making sure the old part of the house still feels connected to the new part when the job is done.
Hire a General Contractor
Hire a General Contractor is the step where homeowners stop juggling subcontractors and put one person in charge of the whole project. You need that when the job involves more than two trades, when permits are required, or when you’ve got a budget you can’t afford to blow through. Sawyer Remodel Miami’s process starts with a written price, not a handshake. Before any work begins, you’ll know exactly what the project costs, who’s coming to your home, and when they’ll arrive. Our typical kitchen remodel in Miami runs $16,520 to $53,100, and a full bathroom remodel $10,620 to $33,040.
Written Price Before Work Starts
The number on the invoice is the number you approved. No change orders because the crew ‘found something’ behind the drywall: we look before we quote, and the quote includes what we find.
Vetted Crews Only
Every technician who walks onto a Miami job site is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s coming to your door before they knock, with a photo in the scheduling update so there are no surprises.
General Contractor Services
General Contractor Services is the umbrella term for everything from a single room refresh to a full-home renovation, managed under one contract and one point of contact. In Miami, our most common projects are kitchen and bathroom remodels, full home renovations, and exterior work like impact window installation and roof replacement. Impact windows run $9,440 to $29,500, and a roof replacement runs $9,440 to $23,600, reflecting Miami’s wind-load requirements and the permitting overhead that comes with coastal construction. Every project gets the same Relay Standard: live arrival times, photo updates before and after, and a written price you can hold us to.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
These are the projects that pay back twice: once in daily use and again at resale. We handle the full scope: demo, rough-in, waterproofing, tile, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and finish plumbing.
Whole-Home Renovation
When a house needs everything, we phase the work so you’re not living in a full construction zone for six months. Kitchens first, then baths, then floors and paint, all sequenced around your schedule.

Brands We Service
We install and service Schluter waterproofing systems specifically because Miami’s humidity punishes shortcuts. Schluter’s edge trim, the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor, is one of the details we check first, and it’s on every one of our bathroom remodels. Their membrane systems, applied over the full wet area, keep the structural framing dry when the inevitable leak happens.
We’ve worked extensively with Toto and Delta fixtures in Miami homes. Toto’s skirted toilets and washlet systems need specific rough-in dimensions and electrical placement to install correctly, and we plan for those in the framing stage. Delta’s shower valves and trim kits are built to survive hard water, but the cartridges need correct pressure balancing at rough-in. Whether you have Delta, Toto, Schluter, or any other brand, we can help.

- Water staining on ceilings or walls. In Miami, what looks like an old stain can be an active leak from a roof or a plumbing line. If the stain grows after a heavy storm, water is still getting in, and the longer it sits, the more expensive the repair becomes.
- Doors or windows that stick seasonally. Miami’s humidity swells wood, but persistent sticking can mean shifting framing or foundation movement. A pro can tell the difference between normal moisture movement and structural settling that needs attention.
- Cracked tiles or grout lines in the shower. Grout isn’t waterproof, so cracked grout means water is reaching the substrate behind the tile. In a Miami bathroom, that moisture feeds mold inside the wall cavity within weeks.
- Spongy floors around tubs, toilets, or the kitchen sink. Soft subflooring means water has been soaking the wood underneath the finish surface. The repair usually means pulling up the floor and replacing the affected sections, and the longer it waits, the wider the damage spreads.
- Electrical warm spots on walls or outlets. A wall that’s warm to the touch around an outlet or switch suggests a wiring issue behind the drywall. That’s not a DIY fix, and it’s not something to wait on. Call a pro the same day.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Initial call and rough scope. You call (850) 801-8046, tell us what you’re thinking about, and we talk through what’s realistic for your budget. No obligation, no hard sell, just an honest conversation about what the project involves.
- 2
On-site walkthrough. We come to your home, look at the actual space, check access points, and measure everything. This is where we find the things that affect price: wall conditions, floor levels, plumbing locations, electrical panel capacity.
- 3
Written price delivered. Within a few days, you get a line-item written price. This is the number we hold, not a ballpark. The materials, labor, permits, and timeline are all in there, and the price on the invoice is the price you approved.
- 4
Scheduling and arrival tracking. Once you approve, we lock in dates and send a live arrival time the day before. On the day itself, you get another update when the crew is en route, and you see a photo of who’s coming.
- 5
Active work and photo updates. During the project, we send before-and-after photos at every milestone. You don’t need to call and ask how it’s going. When the job is done, you get the digital invoice you can pay from a link, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise starts on that day.
How Much Does General Contractor Cost in Miami?
A typical bathroom remodel in Miami runs $10,620 to $33,040 depending on the size of the room, the finish level, and whether you’re moving plumbing. A kitchen remodel runs $16,520 to $53,100, with a small kitchen remodel falling in the $10,620 to $23,600 range and a cabinet installation alone running $4,720 to $15,340. Countertop installation runs $2,360 to $7,670 depending on material, and a backsplash runs $945 to $2,950. A full home addition runs $53,100 to $153,400, and an ADU starts at $106,200.
What affects the price most in Miami is the condition of the existing structure. Homes built in the 1960s and 70s often have cast-iron drain lines that fail when opened up, and Miami’s building code requires wind-rated fasteners and hurricane strapping for structural changes. Both add cost that a cheap quote won’t include. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written price that itemizes materials, labor, and permits before work starts, which is exactly what we provide in our General Contractor Maintenance Checklist for Miami Homeowners process. The free estimate includes the full scope review, the walkthrough, and the written quote, all with no obligation to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Contractor in Miami
A general contractor is the licensed professional who manages a construction or remodeling project end to end, coordinating all the individual trades and bearing responsibility for the final result. In Miami, a GC pulls permits, schedules inspections, hires and supervises subcontractors, and is the single point of contact for the homeowner. Sawyer Remodel Miami has operated under The Relay Standard since 2005, with Luca Romano leading every project.
Most single-room remodels in Miami take 4 to 8 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, depending on the scope and the permit timeline. A small bathroom can finish in 3 to 4 weeks, while a full kitchen with new cabinetry and countertops runs 6 to 10 weeks. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific project.
Costs range from about $5,900 for a small bathroom remodel to $153,400 for a full home addition. Most Miami homeowners spend between $10,620 and $53,100 on kitchen and bathroom remodels. We give you a written price before any work starts so the number doesn’t change on you mid-project.
Yes, we install and service Toto and Delta fixtures regularly, along with Schluter waterproofing systems and other major brands. Our crews know the specific rough-in requirements for each brand, which means fewer surprises when the finish work starts.
