Why Sawyer Remodel Miami Is Country Club’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Country Club homeowners call us because they want a General Contractor who understands the quirks of 1960s – 80s concrete block construction. We’ve opened up enough of these ranches to know what’s behind the drywall before we touch it: aluminum branch wiring, sagging ceiling joists, shower walls with no waterproofing. The difference is, we write allowances for those discoveries into the contract up front. You’re not getting a surprise change order after demo; you’re getting a plan for what happens when the surprise shows up.
Our crews come background-checked and uniformed, and every job runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: live arrival time, photo updates before and after, and a written price before any tool is picked up. Luca Romano leads our team, and he holds every project to The Relay Standard: the number on the invoice is the number you approved. That’s not a slogan. It’s how the contract reads.
When a homeowner off NW 199th Street asks about a General Contractor for a whole-home remodel, we talk about permits, elevation, HOA sign-off, and the brands we install. When a neighbor on a winding side street asks about a tub-to-shower conversion, we talk about the waterproofing we’ll put behind the tile. Both conversations end the same way: with a written estimate and a date on the calendar.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Country Club
A licensed General Contractor in Country Club is the person who pulls permits, coordinates trades, and carries the liability when a project goes wrong. The work runs the full range: kitchen remodels ($14,000 – $45,000), bathroom remodels ($9,000 – $28,000), impact window installation ($8,000 – $25,000), and home additions ($45,000 – $130,000). What sets one contractor apart is what happens when the wall comes off and what’s behind it didn’t match the blueprint. Here’s how we handle that.
Inspection Before Demo
Before demolition starts, we open a few strategic inspection points and look at what we’re dealing with. In Country Club ranches, that means checking for aluminum wiring, looking at the slab height relative to finish grades, and confirming the roof structure wasn’t overstressed by a past retrofit. We write our findings into the scope of work, not into a change order that shows up after you’re committed.
Allowances, Priced Before Work Starts
For any unknown, we define the allowance at the contract stage. If we find framing issues or outdated circuits, the allowance covers it and the price for that work is approved in writing before our team touches it. You never get an invoice line you didn’t sign off on. That’s how it works on every project, from a small vanity install to a full addition.
Residential General Contractor in Country Club
A residential General Contractor in Country Club handles the specific challenges of older single-family homes: outdated systems behind finished walls, floor slabs only slightly above grade, and strict HOA rules on exterior changes. The cost driver in this area isn’t usually the finish work. It’s what we find when we open up the structure, and that’s where experience in this exact housing stock matters. Here’s what a remodel in Country Club tends to involve.
Opening Up 1960s – 80s Ranches
Most Country Club homes were built between the 1960s and the 1980s with concrete block walls and tile roofs. When we open the walls in one of these houses, we typically find original wiring that needs to be brought to current code, and sometimes joists that have deflected under the weight of later tile roof retrofits. We handle that with written allowances and we price the fix before we start the repair.
HOA-Sensitive Exterior Work
If your project touches the exterior, the HOA matters. Window styles, paint colors, roof materials, and even the profile of a new front door can trigger review. We submit the paperwork and word the scope so the inspector and the HOA both sign off the first time. That spares you a punch list delay at the very end of the project.
Trusted Brands We Service in Country Club
We install products from brands that stand behind their warranties, and we keep local Country Club jobs moving with materials sourced from Florida supply houses, not shipped from out of state. For roofing and exterior work, we use GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning products. For kitchens and baths, you’ll see Cambria and Caesarstone counters, Kohler and Toto fixtures, and KraftMaid cabinetry. When a product is back-ordered, we tell you before it affects the schedule, and we give you alternate options with prices. No silent swaps.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Country Club Homes
- Aluminum branch wiring from the original build. Once we open a wall, code requires us to address it. We write the rewire into the allowance so it’s priced before demo, not after.
- Slab height and FEMA elevation requirements. Most of Country Club isn’t in a flood zone, so original slabs sit low. Raising finishes often triggers elevation corrections that a cheap quote never includes.
- Failed waterproofing behind original shower tile. We regularly find no membrane behind 40-year-old tile. We install a full Schluter waterproofing system before new tile goes up.
- HOA delays on exterior changes. A contractor who doesn’t know Country Club’s HOA rules on window and trim styles gets bogged down at inspection. We submit the right paperwork from the start.

FAQs About General Contractor in Country Club
Opening a 1970s Country Club home typically triggers a rewire for original aluminum branch wiring, new GFCI and AFCI protection, reinforced roof-to-wall connections if the tile roof was retrofitted, and sometimes slab elevation corrections to meet current FEMA standards. The exact list depends on the scope, but we identify every trigger during inspection and price it in writing before demo. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll walk your specific house through its likely triggers.
We write allowances into the contract for the known unknowns: framing repair, rewiring, waterproofing replacement, and elevation work. When we find a problem, we send you a photo, the scope, and the price for approval before we touch it. The number on the invoice is the number you approved. No surprise change orders. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll show you what a real allowance looks like.
Most elevation upgrades can be done in a way that preserves the original low-slung profile of your Country Club ranch. We’ve handled this by raising finish floors internally where required and matching the exterior so the home keeps its lines. It’s a technical fix, but it doesn’t have to turn your ranch into a lifted house. Call (850) 801-8046 if your project involves slab work and you want a straight answer.
HOA requirements in Country Club can dictate window styles, exterior paint colors, roof materials, and even the type of front door you can install. We submit all required paperwork before work starts, and we word the scope so the HOA and the building inspector both approve the first time. That keeps the punch list clean at sign-off. Call (850) 801-8046 if you’re planning exterior work and want someone who knows the process.
You should expect the building inspector to check electrical, framing, waterproofing, and any elevation work. We schedule the inspection, meet the inspector on site, and we stay until the sign-off is complete. If the inspector flags something, the fix is already covered by the allowance we wrote at contract time. That’s what a real general contractor does. Call (850) 801-8046 for a free written estimate on your whole-home project.
