Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Temple City’s Preferred Home Renovation Company

Homeowners in Temple City call us because we treat a remodel the way they’d treat it themselves: know the numbers, know the schedule, and don’t disappear. Led by Luca Romano, our Home Renovation team has spent years working in the San Gabriel Valley’s mid-century housing stock, and we understand what happens when a 1950s ranch on Freer Street meets modern plumbing and electrical demands. The walls are not always square. The subfloor is not always level. Good renovation work starts by respecting what’s already there, then making the new work stand up on its own.
What sets us apart in Temple City is the Relay Visibility Guarantee. Before a single tool gets picked up, you get a written price. You get a live arrival time the morning of the job. You get photo updates before and after, and you pay from a digital invoice when the work is done. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up to your door, not a rotating cast of day laborers. And if something is not done right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right, backed in writing. No argument. No ghosting.
When you call (254) 272-5876, a live person answers. That’s standing policy at Sawyer Remodeling, part of the Relay Home Co. family since 2005. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no phone tag. You’re planning a serious investment in your home. You deserve a contractor who treats the process seriously.
Styles & brands we work with







Home Improvement Contractors in Temple City
Home improvement contractors in Temple City handle the practical upgrades that keep a house functional and comfortable: flooring, drywall, windows, interior repairs, and fixture swaps. Homeowners near Live Oak Park often call us for these jobs when a house has been rented for a decade and needs a refresh before the family moves back in, or when a water heater failed and left damage in the hallway. The work in this category typically falls between $800 and $15,000, depending on whether you’re swapping a vanity or replacing windows across the whole house.
Interior Repairs and Drywall
Older Temple City homes settle, and settling means cracks. We repair drywall cracks, skim-coat textured walls, and make interior spaces look like they did when the house was first sold. On homes near Emperor Elementary, we regularly see corner cracks from foundation movement – standard for the area, and fixable.
Flooring and Fixture Updates
Flooring replacement, baseboard installation, and fixture swaps change how a room feels without touching the structural bones. If your hall bath still has the original 1960s tile, we can replace it with modern material while keeping the footprint intact.
Home Renovation Companies in Temple City

Home renovation companies in Temple City are not all created equal, and a full-scale remodel is where the differences show. This is the work we’re known for: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs, and whole-home transformations. A full kitchen remodel on a Temple City property runs $14,000 to $45,000. A home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000. Those numbers include labor, materials, and the written price you approve before we start.
Kitchen and Bath Transformations
We use Cambria and Caesarstone countertops for Temple City kitchens, along with Kohler and Toto fixtures. For cabinetry, KraftMaid and Wellborn. You choose from proven brands backed by manufacturer warranties – not mystery suppliers. A Bathroom Remodeling in Temple City project with us is handled with the same standards: Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor) on every wet zone, no shortcuts on waterproofing, no exceptions.
Additions, ADUs, and Garage Conversions
If you’re adding square footage or converting a garage into a rental unit, Temple City zoning and permitting rules matter. ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000 in this market; garage conversions run $30,000 to $80,000. We coordinate permits, pull them when needed, and schedule inspections so the job closes clean. For broader structural work, our General Contractor in Temple City services cover full-home projects, foundation-adjacent repairs, and large-scale remodels.
Trusted Brands We Service in Temple City
We install and service products from brands homeowners actually recognize: Sakrete for concrete and masonry work, Abodu and Cover for prefab and panelized ADU systems where the site allows, and Dvele for high-performance wall and envelope packages on larger additions. Because we work with these manufacturers directly, Temple City customers get faster turnaround on specialty orders and local stock access that a general handyman simply won’t have. When a product requires warranty work, we handle the manufacturer process – you don’t chase paperwork.

AfterCommon Home Renovation Problems We See in Temple City Homes
- Cast iron drain lines under slab foundations. Many Temple City houses built before 1970 still have original cast iron waste lines. They corrode from the inside, and by the time a remodel opens the floor, the pipe is often paper-thin. We replace these during kitchen and bath work so you don’t pay to open the floor twice.
- Galvanized steel supply lines. On older streets like Oak Avenue, original galvanized plumbing restricts water pressure and eventually leaks. Repiping during a remodel adds cost now but prevents drywall damage later.
- Unpermitted additions from previous owners. We see this throughout the San Gabriel Valley, and Temple City is no exception. A sunroom or enclosed patio was added decades ago without permits, and now a lender or buyer is asking questions. We assess, correct, and permit retroactively where possible.
- Stucco failures on 1950s and 1960s exteriors. Hairline cracks let water in, and Temple City’s dry summers followed by winter rain cycles make it worse. We repair stucco and replace failed sections during exterior remodels.
