Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Wrightwood
Finding a general contractor in Wrightwood who understands mountain construction is different from hiring one down the hill. At 6,000-plus feet, your project has to account for snow load on roofs, freeze-thaw cycles in concrete, and San Bernardino County permit requirements that assume high-wind and snow exposure. Sawyer Remodeling handles all of it: kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, additions, decks, and driveway work, with a written price before any tool is picked up. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate and we’ll scope your Wrightwood project the right way from day one.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Wrightwood’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Wrightwood homeowners don’t want a contractor who shows up late, quotes low, then disappears when the surprises hit. Our reputation in town is built on the Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live arrival time, photo updates before and after each phase, and a written price before work starts. That means when our crew drives up Highway 2 to your place, you already know who’s coming, when they arrive, and exactly what the invoice will say.
We’ve worked in the village area, off Lone Pine Canyon Road, and up in the neighborhoods around Mountain High. What we hear from Wrightwood customers over and over is that other contractors quote the job using low-desert assumptions, then act shocked when mountain conditions add scope. Our estimates already factor in snow-rated roofing, freeze-thaw subfloor repair, and high-wind window flashing. You get an honest number the first time.
Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. If something isn’t done right, we come back and make it right, no argument. That’s not a marketing line, it’s part of the contract. And when you call, a live person answers, 24/7, no voicemail loop.
Luca Romano leads our crews, and every technician who steps onto a Wrightwood property is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who is walking into your home before they arrive. That’s the standard we’ve run under since 2005.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Wrightwood
A Remodeling Contractor in Wrightwood usually means a kitchen or bathroom overhaul, but it can also be a full interior rework of a mountain cabin or a mid-century home up near Table Mountain. We scope every remodel around the realities of this town: freeze-thaw movement under floors, older framing that may hide load-bearing surprises, and finish materials that need to hold up to snow country winters.
Kitchen and Bath Scopes
A kitchen remodel in Wrightwood typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop choice, and whether we’re moving plumbing or taking out walls. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installation landing between $4,500 and $12,000. We write the scope line by line so you see exactly where your budget goes.
We recently finished a kitchen remodel in the Wrightwood village area off Highway 2 where the original 1960s cabinetry had been built around a load-bearing wall and the subfloor was out of level from decades of mountain freeze-thaw movement. Our crew wrote the scope in writing, pulled the San Bernardino County permits, replaced the subfloor, ran new rough-in for a Kohler sink and Moen faucet, and set KraftMaid cabinets with a Cambria countertop. Before final inspection sign-off, we held a punch list meeting with the homeowner. The final number matched the $14,000 to $45,000 quote because allowances and the change order process were documented from day one.
Surface and Cabinet Selection
We bring Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertop samples to your Wrightwood home, along with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet door options and Kohler, Moen, and Grohe fixtures. You’re choosing from real, manufacturer-backed products, not mystery supplier stock. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500; cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000.
Licensed General Contractor in Wrightwood
A Licensed General Contractor in Wrightwood is the person you want when the job touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or anything that San Bernardino County will need to inspect. That’s home additions, garage conversions, ADUs, deck construction, and most full-gut remodels. We carry the license, pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and manage every trade so you don’t have to chase four different subcontractors.
Additions and ADUs
Home additions in Wrightwood run $45,000 to $130,000 and ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000. These are the projects where snow-load roof framing and high-wind shear requirements change the engineering and the material list compared to a comparable build in Rancho Cucamonga or Upland. We plan for that from the first site walk, so the allowance schedules reflect mountain-rated lumber, roof systems, and window packages, not low-desert defaults.
Permits and Inspections
When you work with our General Contractor team, permit pull and inspection sign-off are part of the job, not an add-on. We’ve watched too many Wrightwood homeowners hire a cheap crew who skipped permits on a cabin remodel, only to find out at resale or later inspection that the rough-in electrical, load-bearing changes, or structural work can’t be signed off without reopening finished walls. Don’t take that risk. Get it permitted the first time.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wrightwood
We stock and install local inventory for Wrightwood customers across the full remodel. Cabinet lines include KraftMaid and Wellborn; counters include Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone; fixtures include Kohler, Moen, and Grohe; roofing runs GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning; siding is James Hardie. Some Wrightwood homeowners ask about prefab and panelized options like Abodu, Cover, or Mighty Buildings for ADUs and additions. We’re familiar with those systems and can assess whether a panelized build makes sense for your lot, your snow loads, and your county permit path. Turnaround on quoted material orders is fast, and we keep you updated with photo progress at each phase.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Wrightwood Homes
- Freeze-thaw subfloor movement. Decades of freeze-thaw cycles shift wood subfloors out of level, and you feel it the moment you step on the floor. We regularly see Wrightwood kitchens and baths where the floor dips a half-inch or more and needs leveling before any new tile or cabinet goes in.
- Snow-load roof framing that was never upgraded. Older cabins up here were built before current snow-load standards, and remodels or additions that touch the roofline often require structural reinforcement. We flag this in the estimate, not after demo.
- High-wind window and door flashing failures. Water intrusion around windows is a constant problem on exposed lots near Mountain High. Proper flashing and high-wind-rated installation are standard on our window and door scope, not an upgrade.
- Driveway and patio paver failures from freeze-thaw cycles. Poor base prep and low-desert material assumptions make concrete and paver surfaces crack, heave, and shift within a few mountain winters. We spec freeze-rated bases and sealed pavers from the start.

FAQs About General Contractor in Wrightwood
Yes, if your project touches electrical, plumbing, load-bearing walls, or structural work, you need a San Bernardino County building permit, and Wrightwood’s mountain location means the county reviews for snow load and high-wind exposure. We pull the permits, schedule inspections, and make sure every trade signs off before final payment. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll tell you exactly which permits your project requires.
Because mountain projects involve choices you haven’t made yet, like cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the subfloor needs replacement after we open it up. Allowances let you choose finishes at real prices without pretending the final number is set in stone. Change orders only happen when the scope actually changes, and every one is documented in writing before work continues. That’s how we keep the final invoice within the range we quoted, not thousands above it.
A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Wrightwood typically runs 6 to 12 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on permit review times, material lead times, and what we find when we open the walls. Additions and ADUs run longer, often 4 to 8 months. The Relay Visibility Guarantee means you get a schedule, photo updates at each phase, and live arrival times, so you always know where the job stands. Call (254) 272-5876 to get a written schedule for your project.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common projects we do up here. Freeze-thaw cycles in Wrightwood crack concrete driveways and heave paver patios when the base prep wasn’t mountain-rated. Paver driveway installation runs $7,000 to $18,000 and paver patio installation runs $3,500 to $11,000, with freeze-rated base material and sealed pavers included. We scope the repair around your specific drainage and sun exposure, not a generic template.
A punch list is the final walkthrough list of small items that need correction before you sign off: paint touch-ups, cabinet door alignment, grout cleanup, a crooked outlet plate, the works. We walk the finished job with you, write down every item you flag, and fix them before final inspection sign-off. You don’t pay the final draw until the punch list is cleared. That meeting is standard on every Sawyer Remodeling project in Wrightwood.
