Why Sawyer Remodeling Is West Miami’s Preferred General Contractor Company
West Miami homeowners keep calling us back because we write the price down before any tool leaves the truck. No allowance games, no vague “we’ll see what we find” pricing. The Relay Visibility Guarantee means you get a live arrival time, photo updates before and after, and a written price locked in before demo day. That’s the standard Luca Romano set when he started running jobs here, and it hasn’t softened.
Our crews know West Miami’s housing stock. We’ve opened walls near SW 62nd Avenue and found cast-iron drain lines that predate the moon landing. We budget for that. We also know Miami-Dade County’s permitting process well enough to keep a project moving without plan revisions stalling your draw schedule. Reviews from West Miami customers consistently mention the same two things: the price didn’t change, and the crew actually showed up on time.
Response time to West Miami is straightforward. Booking a free estimate happens fast, and you’ll speak to a live person at (254) 272-5876 whenever you call.
Styles & brands we work with
Residential General Contractor in West Miami
Residential General Contractor work in West Miami means running a remodel on a concrete-block home built before impact windows were code. It’s kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and garage conversions where the bones of the house are solid but the plumbing, electrical, and openings need real attention. A full kitchen remodel in West Miami runs $16,520 – $53,100, a bathroom $10,620 – $33,040, and a home addition $53,100 – $153,400. Those numbers assume we’re re-piping and upgrading the panel if the house needs it, which most pre-1970 West Miami homes do.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels on Block Homes
Hanging cabinets on block isn’t the same as wood framing. We anchor to the masonry, not drywall. We also verify the drain line condition behind the wall before we set cabinets, because West Miami’s original cast-iron often looks fine until you touch it.
Additions and Garage Conversions
Small-lot setbacks in West Miami change what you can build. We check the property lines against Miami-Dade County’s current code before we draw anything, so you’re not paying an architect to redesign after plan review. Garage conversions run $35,400 – $94,400 and usually trigger impact window requirements.
Hire a General Contractor in West Miami
Hire a General Contractor in West Miami when the project touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing walls, which describes almost every remodel here. A general contractor pulls the permits, schedules the inspections, and carries the project from demo to final sign-off. Homeowners hire us for small bathroom remodels at $5,900 – $14,160, kitchen islands at $3,540 – $11,800, and cabinet installation at $4,720 – $15,340. The scope sheet tells you exactly what’s included before you sign anything.
Written Scope, Fixed Price
Our written scope lists every allowance, every brand, and every line item. The number on the invoice matches the number you approved. If we find something behind the wall that changes the plan, we write a change order and you approve it before we proceed. That’s the whole system.
Background-Checked Crews
You’ll know who’s walking into your home. Uniformed, background-checked technicians, with a live arrival time sent before they show up. No wondering if the crew is coming or not.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Miami
We install and service a broad roster of manufacturer-backed products, so West Miami homeowners aren’t stuck choosing from off-brand mystery materials. For cabinets, we regularly bid KraftMaid and Wellborn. Countertops come from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Fixtures are Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. For modern prefab builds and extensions, we’ve worked with Mighty Buildings and Dvele systems on projects where West Miami’s small-lot constraints make off-site construction the smarter move. If you want a specific brand, say so at estimate time and we’ll line it up.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in West Miami Homes
- Cast-iron drain lines from the 1950s and 60s. Original pipes look intact until you open the wall, then they weep or crumble. We budget for re-piping in any pre-1970 West Miami kitchen or bath scope, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
- Undersized electrical panels. Most West Miami ranch homes run 100-amp panels that were fine for 1962 but can’t handle a modern kitchen with induction, double ovens, and a separate fridge. A subpanel or full upgrade is often required before rough-in inspection sign-off.
- Block-wall anchoring done wrong. Out-of-area crews sometimes treat concrete block like wood frame and use standard fasteners. That fails inspection and delays your permit. We anchor properly to masonry, with the right header details for load-bearing walls.
- Impact window and setback requirements missed. Miami-Dade County code applies to West Miami, and additions or garage conversions that don’t account for impact ratings and small-lot setbacks get kicked back at plan review. We verify code first, then draw.

A full kitchen remodel runs $16,520 – $53,100. A garage conversion runs $35,400 – $94,400, and a home addition starts at $53,100 and can reach $153,400.

What moves the number? If the house needs a full re-pipe rather than a partial, if the panel goes from subpanel to full service upgrade, or if impact windows are required on an addition, your price shifts accordingly. We front-load those costs into the scope. You approve the real number before demo, not after.

FAQs About General Contractor in West Miami
Yes. Any remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, structural walls, or changes the footprint requires a permit through Miami-Dade County, which governs West Miami. We pull permits on every job and schedule inspections through final sign-off. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll tell you exactly which permits your project needs.
The two big ones are cast-iron drain line failure and undersized electrical panels, both common in pre-1970 West Miami concrete-block homes. A mid-project discovery of corroded drains can add thousands if it wasn’t scoped. We budget for both upfront so the change order is rare and small, not a gut punch.
A bathroom remodel runs about 2 – 3 weeks, a kitchen 4 – 8 weeks depending on cabinet lead times, and a garage conversion or addition 8 – 16 weeks. West Miami’s permit review times through Miami-Dade County can add 2 – 4 weeks at the front end, which we account for in the schedule we hand you at contract signing.
At minimum: every line item with a dollar amount, brand names for cabinets and fixtures, allowance amounts if you haven’t selected finishes yet, permit fees, and the change order process. Our written scope includes all of that, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise so you have a year of accountability after the project closes.
Yes, in most cases. Garage conversions in West Miami run $35,400 – $94,400 and often trigger Miami-Dade County impact window requirements and small-lot setback rules. We verify code compliance before we draw, so you’re not paying for plan revisions after the draw schedule is set.
