We run jobs across Gladeview every week, from small bathroom gut-and-rebuilds near NW 71st Street to full additions on concrete-block homes off NW 17th Avenue. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, live arrival tracking on the day of the job, and photo updates before and after. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll walk you through what your project needs in plain English, no contractor double-speak.
Why Sawyer Remodel Miami Is Gladeview’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Gladeview homeowners call us because we understand what these houses actually look like behind the drywall. Most are 1950s-to-1970s concrete-block builds with original wiring, cast-iron drains, and flat roofs that have survived a lot of hurricane seasons. We don’t pretend a remodel here is the same as one in a new subdivision. It isn’t.
Every job runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. You know who is coming, when they arrive, and what it costs, all confirmed in writing before we pick up a tool. Luca Romano leads our crew, and he makes sure the permit history, inspection sign-offs, and material specs on your project are documented in a way your insurer will actually accept. No ghosting. No vague “we’ll figure it out later” pricing.
Trust in Gladeview comes from doing the work right on the first pass, especially when a failed inspection means another two weeks of waiting. That’s why we quote for code compliance up front, not as a surprise change order after demo.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Gladeview
Hire a General Contractor in Gladeview when the project touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or anything that requires a Miami-Dade permit. That covers kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, garage conversions, roofing, and impact window retrofits. A typical Gladeview kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000, while a bathroom remodel lands at $9,000 – $28,000. Home additions start around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 depending on foundation and wind-load work.
What Actually Happens First
Before framing begins, we check the existing panel and slab plumbing. Many Gladeview homes still run ungrounded two-wire electrical and cast-iron drains under the slab. If yours does, the panel upgrade and trenchless sewer liner go into the written quote before demo, not after.
Permits and Paperwork
We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and keep a clean record of every sign-off. That matters for your insurance later. A remodel that never passed wind-load inspection can become a denied claim after a storm. We don’t leave you holding that bag.
General Contractor Services in Gladeview
General Contractor Services in Gladeview mean we handle the full scope: demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, tile, finish work, and the final walkthrough. We don’t hand you a list of subcontractors to chase down yourself. You deal with one crew, one phone number, one written price. That said, let’s be specific about what Gladeview homes actually need.
Electrical Panel and Drain Work
If your home was built before 1980, plan on a panel upgrade and likely a trenchless sewer replacement. These aren’t optional extras in Miami-Dade. Inspectors won’t sign off on new framing over old two-wire circuits, and a cracked cast-iron drain under the slab will bite you later.
Impact-Rated Window and Roof Retrofit
Any remodel that touches exterior openings triggers Miami-Dade wind-load requirements. We rough in impact-rated windows from Delta or Toto and coordinate roof tie-downs to current code. Using non-impact-rated material from out of the county stalls the permit and fails the local product approval process.

Trusted Brands We Service in Gladeview
We stock and install name-brand materials that hold up in Gladeview’s humidity and sun. That includes Delta and Toto fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems for wet areas, and American Standard for tub and shower replacements. When we rough in a walk-in shower, we use Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor) because it prevents the slow moisture rot that older Gladeview bathrooms are known for. Local suppliers keep these in stock, which means we’re not waiting on a freight truck when your project hits the finish stage.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Gladeview Homes
- Original two-wire electrical still live behind the walls. We open up 1960s concrete-block homes near NW 79th Street and find ungrounded circuits feeding a new microwave and a window AC unit. Miami-Dade won’t pass a remodel over that, and neither will we.
- Cast-iron drain pipes rusted through under the slab. The first sign is a slow gurgle in the guest bath. By the time we see it, the trenchless liner or full replacement is already part of the quote.
- Flat roofs with old tie-downs and missing hurricane straps. If you’re adding square footage, the existing roof-to-wall connection often needs retrofitting to current wind-load code. Cheap quotes skip this and fail inspection.
- Non-impact windows installed by a handyman three owners ago. They don’t meet Miami-Dade product approval, and your insurer knows it. Any remodel touching those openings means replacing them with rated units.

FAQs About General Contractor in Gladeview
Yes, any remodel that replaces or expands exterior openings in Gladeview must meet Miami-Dade’s wind-load requirements, which means impact-rated windows or properly anchored shutters. If the opening changes size, the new window has to carry a current product approval. A cheap quote that skips this fails inspection and can void an insurance claim later.
Call (850) 801-8046 if you want us to check your specific window schedule against current code before you commit.
Because most homes here were built between 1950 and 1980 and still run ungrounded two-wire systems that can’t safely carry modern loads. Miami-Dade inspectors will not sign off on new framing, new circuits, or a room addition over an undersized panel. The upgrade goes in the first quote, not as a surprise after demo.
Want a straight answer on what your panel needs? Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll walk you through it.
It gives your insurer written proof that the roof tie-downs, impact windows, and structural connections meet current Miami-Dade code. Without that documentation, a storm claim can be denied or reduced because the insurer argues the home wasn’t brought to code. We keep the permit history and inspection sign-offs in your project file and hand you copies at close-out.
If you’re mid-project or planning one, call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll explain what documentation your carrier will want.
It includes the panel upgrade, trenchless sewer scope, impact-rated window and door rough-ins, roof tie-down retrofit, and full permit and inspection coordination. A cheap quote assumes none of that will be needed, then hits you with change orders after the walls are open. Our written price covers the code work up front because we know what these 1950s-1970s concrete-block homes look like behind the drywall.
For an apples-to-apples quote on your addition, call (850) 801-8046.
Usually not. A garage slab in a 1960s or 1970s Gladeview home was poured as a non-conditioned space, which means it often lacks the footing depth, vapor barrier, and anchor bolts required for living space. Converting it means bringing that slab to code, which we scope before quoting. Skipping it fails inspection and can leave you with moisture problems in the first wet season.
