Training & Ongoing Support
You don’t need a construction background to own a Sawyer Remodeling location. What you need is the willingness to follow a system that’s been running since 2005. We teach you the trade, the operations, the software, and the sales rhythm before your first project ever starts. Then we stay on the line with you after you open. Here’s exactly what you get, from your first week to your hundredth job.
Initial Training
Before you launch your Sawyer Remodeling business, we put you through a structured training sequence that runs from week one to opening day. You’ll learn how to scope a bathroom remodel and a whole-home renovation using real project examples from the Relay Home Co. family. We show you how to read a job, identify what’s involved, and put a written price in front of a homeowner before any work starts. That pricing discipline is the core of The Relay Standard, and we drill it until it’s second nature.
You’ll also learn the operations side: how to schedule, how to hire and vet technicians, and how to run the background-check process on every person who walks into a customer’s home. We teach you the dispatch flow so you can give live arrival times instead of four-hour windows. And you’ll get hands-on time with the software stack that powers the business, including the photo-update system that sends before-and-after images to clients as projects progress. Marketing comes next: local search setup, review generation, and how to talk about materials from KraftMaid, Cambria, Kohler, GAF, and James Hardie without sounding like a brochure.

Launch Support
Opening the doors is where most franchise concepts go quiet. That’s not how we operate. Your launch support starts weeks before your first job and runs through your first closed project. We help you set up your local marketing presence from scratch: Google Business Profile, service-area pages, local ad campaigns, and the review engine that feeds your reputation in your specific market. Each Sawyer Remodeling location is independently owned and operated, so the marketing is built around your city, your neighborhoods, and your local customer base, not a generic corporate template.
We also coach you through your first jobs in real time. When a quote goes out, we’re available to walk through the scope with you. When a homeowner pushes back on pricing, we help you hold the line on written estimates without losing the project. The goal of launch support is simple: get you to a point where you’re running leads, closing jobs, and sending photo updates without needing to check in daily. Most owners hit that rhythm within their first 60 to 90 days.

Once you’re up and running, support doesn’t stop. Here’s what stays active on your behalf:
- Field coaching and job review: Regular calls to walk through active projects, pricing questions, and any customer situations that need a second set of eyes. Real coaching, not checklists.
- Marketing and lead generation: Ongoing local campaigns, seasonal promotions, and review-generation support so your phones keep ringing without you having to become a full-time marketer.
- Vendor and material relationships: Access to the Relay Home Co. buying programs with manufacturers like KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Caesarstone, Kohler, Toto, GAF, and James Hardie, so your pricing and material sourcing stay competitive.
- Technology and software updates: The dispatch, photo-update, invoicing, and live arrival tracking tools are maintained and updated centrally, so you always have the latest version without managing software vendors.
- National brand campaigns: Relay Home Co. runs brand-level marketing that supports every location. When homeowners search for remodelers who put prices in writing and send photo updates, your local business benefits from that lift.
- Peer network access: You’re part of the Relay Home Co. family of independent local businesses. Other owners share what’s working in their markets, and you can borrow or adapt it for yours.
