Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Sunset’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve earned our reputation in Sunset by doing the unglamorous work first: checking subfloor condition, verifying drain line material, and confirming whether the joists can carry a heavier tile floor. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they want a contractor who shows up when promised, keeps them posted with photo updates, and hands over a price that matches the invoice. That’s The Relay Standard, and it’s how every Sawyer Remodeling project runs.
Luca Romano leads our team, and the first conversation with any Sunset homeowner is about scope, not sales. We talk through what the bathroom needs, what hidden problems are likely given the home’s age, and what the honest price range looks like before we ever schedule a site visit. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with a live arrival time on record. You’ll know who’s walking into your home before they ring the bell.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every bathroom remodel in Sunset. If something isn’t done right within a year of project close, we make it right in writing. No argument, no chasing.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Sunset
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Sunset handles the full gut-and-rebuild: demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finishing. Homeowners in Sunset typically call us when a bathroom has water damage behind old tile, a tub that’s outlived its useful life, or a layout that doesn’t work for how the family actually lives. A full remodel in Sunset runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on square footage and material choices.
Subfloor Assessment Before Tile
In Sunset, we start almost every bathroom remodel with a subfloor inspection. The 1970s ranch and lakefront homes that dominate this area were built with original 2×8 floor joists spaced 16 inches on center, and many still have cast-iron drain lines. Before any shower pan or tile goes down, we check for deflection, rot, and pipe condition. Skipping this step is how homeowners end up with cracked grout within a year.
Permit and Inspection Coordination
A bathroom remodel in Sunset that changes plumbing lines or electrical circuits requires a permit. We pull the permit, schedule the rough-in inspection, and stay on site through the final inspection sign-off. You never have to chase the building department or wonder whether the project is legal. That matters when you sell, because buyers and lenders in Sunset want to see the inspection paperwork.
Walk In Shower in Sunset
A Walk In Shower in Sunset replaces a tub or dated shower with a curbed or curbless shower, typically running $4,500 to $12,000 for installation. Sunset homeowners choose this upgrade most often in the primary bathroom, especially in the lakefront homes where a low-threshold shower works better for aging in place. The project includes waterproofing, drain relocation if needed, tile or solid-surface walls, and a glass enclosure if you want one.
Joist Reinforcement Before the Shower Pan
We recently completed a walk-in shower remodel in the Sunset Isles neighborhood off Miller Road. The homeowner had a leaking cast-iron drain and wanted a heavier porcelain tile floor. Before installing anything, we sistered two 2×8 joists to stiffen the floor for the added load. After passing the rough-in inspection and the final sign-off, the project closed with a Kohler fixture set and a custom Cambria vanity top, and the punch list was only three minor touch-ups.
Frameless Glass and Tile Choices That Fit Sunset Homes
Frameless glass enclosures are the most requested finish in Sunset, because they visually open up bathrooms that are often under 50 square feet in the older homes. We measure the opening precisely on site, account for any out-of-level walls, and order the glass to fit exactly. Tile selections range from classic porcelain to larger-format panels, and we always confirm the substrate can carry the tile weight before we order a pallet.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
We install fixtures and surfaces from brands Sunset homeowners actually recognize: Kohler and Toto for fixtures, Cambria and Caesarstone for countertops, KraftMaid and Wellborn for vanities. We don’t push mystery materials. When we order from these manufacturers, the products carry their own warranties, and our install follows their specs. That means a vanity top from Cambria in Sunset gets installed exactly the way Cambria requires, with the right overhang, support, and sealant. We also work with systems from Dvele and Mighty Buildings when a Sunset homeowner wants to integrate bath prep into a larger modular addition, which gives us flexibility on prefabricated components that speed up the rough-in phase.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Cast-iron drain failure: The 1970s homes in Sunset often still run on original cast-iron. By decades later, the pipes are rusting from the inside out, and a bathroom gut reveals pitting and cracks. We replace with PVC and bring the drain up to current code.
- Spongy or creaking subfloors: Old layers of vinyl and tile hide rot and weak joists. We’ve cut open floors in Sunset where the subfloor felt solid from above but had a slow leak underneath, softening the structure. A proper assessment happens before finish materials go in.
- Out-of-square walls: Original 2×8 framing was never perfect, and over 40 or 50 years those walls move. Curbless shower pans and frameless glass enclosures need flat, plumb surfaces, so we shim and correct framing before waterproofing.
- Unpermitted previous work: We’ve been called in to fix bathrooms where a prior owner installed a shower without pulling a permit. When the seller can’t produce an inspection sign-off, the sale stalls. We sort out the code issues and get the project legal.
