Call Sawyer Remodeling at (254) 272-5876 and we’ll walk your bathroom with you, take measurements, and hand you a number you can actually plan around.
We know Antelope because we work here. Our crews are in and out of the Antelope Highlands, Foothill Farms, and neighborhoods along Elverta Road and Walerga Road every week. We know the housing stock: 1970s and 1980s tract homes with original bathrooms, 1990s two-story builds with fiberglass tub surrounds, and newer construction on the north side near the school district. We also know Sacramento County’s permit process cold, which matters more than you’d think. More on that below.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Antelope’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Luca Romano, who leads Sawyer Remodeling, runs every Antelope job under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a written price before work starts, live arrival time tracking on the day of, and before-and-after photo updates so you’re never guessing what happened while you were at work. It’s not a slogan. It’s how we’ve built our reputation in Antelope since 2005, as part of the Relay Home Co. family.
Antelope homeowners deal with the same frustration everywhere else does: contractors who quote low, change the number mid-job, and go quiet for days. We built our process specifically to avoid that. Every bathroom we remodel in Antelope gets a written scope of work, named material allowances, and a fixed price. When the inspector signs off, you pay the number you approved. Not a dollar more, unless you add scope and approve the change in writing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who is walking into your home at 7:30 a.m. because we send you their name and a live arrival link before they knock. And if you call our office at any point during your Antelope remodel, a live person answers. Day or night.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Antelope
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Antelope handles the full gut-and-rebuild: demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, subfloor repair, waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures, and the final walkthrough. You need one when your bathroom has crossed from “dated” to “not working” – a shower that leaks into the subfloor, a vanity that’s falling apart, a tub you’re tired of stepping over. In Antelope, expect a full remodel to land between $9,000 and $28,000.
What the job actually involves
We start with a site walk and measurements at your Antelope home. Then we produce a written scope: which walls come down, where the plumbing moves, what tile and fixtures you’re choosing, and which county permit we’ll pull. Demolition follows, then rough-in. The rough-in inspection happens before any drywall goes back up. Then waterproofing, tile, flooring, vanity install, trim, and final inspection. You get photo updates at each stage.
Where Antelope homes need extra attention
Older Antelope homes hide moisture damage under vinyl flooring and behind fiberglass surrounds. We often find subfloor rot that was invisible before demo. That’s not a surprise we spring on you at the end. Our written scope includes a contingency line for subfloor repair, and we show you photos before any extra work is approved. You approve the change in writing, with a price, before we proceed.
Walk In Shower in Antelope
A Walk In Shower in Antelope replaces your tub or old shower with a curbless or low-curb shower, usually framed in tile or a custom acrylic system. Most Antelope homeowners choose this to age in place, modernize a master bath, or open up a small bathroom. Walk-in shower installation in Antelope runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, tile, glass, and plumbing changes. Tub-to-shower conversion is slightly lower, between $3,500 and $10,000.
Curbless showers and Schluter waterproofing
We use Schluter edge trim – the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor – and full Schluter or equivalent waterproofing membranes under every Antelope walk-in shower. That’s the difference between a shower that lasts 20 years and one that leaks into the subfloor in five. Antelope’s dry summers and wet winters put real stress on shower pans, so membrane waterproofing is not optional on our jobs.
Frameless glass and fixtures
For an Antelope walk-in shower, you’re choosing between framed, semi-frameless, and frameless glass enclosures. Frameless glass runs higher on material cost but is easier to clean and looks cleaner in a small bathroom. We install Kohler and Moen shower valves and fixtures, which gives you manufacturer backing plus our 365-Day Done Right Promise on the install. If it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing, for a full year after the job closes.
Trusted Brands We Service in Antelope
We spec KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for vanities, Cambria and Caesarstone for countertops, and Kohler and Toto for fixtures. That means your Antelope bathroom gets named-brand materials with manufacturer warranties behind them, not mystery-supplier boxes from a clearance warehouse. We also work with modular and prefab bathroom systems from Dvele and Mighty Buildings when clients want off-site precision and faster dry-in. Dispatching and scheduling for Antelope jobs is coordinated from our Sacramento office, but the crews and materials stage locally, so you’re never waiting on parts from another state.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Antelope Homes
- Hidden subfloor rot under vinyl flooring. Antelope homes built in the 1970s and 1980s often have original particleboard subfloor under sheet vinyl. Years of toilet condensation and shower splash rot it from above, and you won’t know until demolition. We budget for it, show you photos, and get written approval before replacing.
- Failed rough-in inspections because the permit was skipped. Sacramento County requires permits for any bathroom remodel that moves plumbing or electrical. Homeowners who skip it end up with drywall that has to be opened again for a third-party inspector. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
- Shower valves that don’t meet current code. Many 1980s Antelope bathrooms have non-pressure-balanced valves. Code now requires anti-scald valves on any shower we touch. It’s a $300 to $600 line item, but skipping it fails inspection and can scalde a kid.
- Disputes over what “included” means. Verbal scopes create arguments about whether the vanity was KraftMaid or Wellborn, whether tile was included, or whether the glass door was extra. Every Sawyer Remodeling Antelope job has a written scope and named allowances before we start. You’ll never argue with us about what you were promised, because it’s in writing.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Antelope
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, electrical, or structural walls, you need a Sacramento County building permit. The County uses an online portal, and inspections are often third-party, which means your schedule has to absorb inspector availability – not just a quick counter visit. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and keep you updated through final sign-off. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll tell you during the estimate exactly which permits your Antelope job needs.
