We know Brentwood homes. Not from a map, from being inside them. The 1960s ranch off Balfour Road with original cast-iron drains under the slab. The newer build in the Vineyards at Marsh Creek where the previous owner’s DIY tile job is already cracking. Every project starts the same way: we look at what’s behind the walls before we quote a single number. Because in Brentwood, what’s behind the walls is usually the story.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Brentwood’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Brentwood homeowners call us because we put the price in writing before demo day and keep it there. No verbal allowances that balloon into change orders. No “we’ll figure it out when we open the wall.” You approve a number, and that’s the number on the final invoice. Our Bathroom Remodeling team works under The Relay Visibility Guarantee, which means a live arrival time, photo updates before and after each day’s work, and a digital invoice you pay from a link.
Luca Romano runs our jobs with a simple rule: the homeowner knows who’s walking into the house before the truck parks. Background-checked, uniformed technicians on every project. Calls answered by a live person around the clock. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every remodel we finish in Brentwood: if it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing, for a full year after close-out.
Styles & brands we work with
Small Bathroom Remodel in Brentwood
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Brentwood usually runs $5,000 to $12,000, and it’s the most common project we quote for homes off Lone Tree Way and around the downtown grid. These are the hall baths and guest baths where the footprint stays put, but the 1980s vanity, the cracked floor tile, and the tired tub all come out. It’s not about square footage. It’s about working inside an existing space and making every inch count.
What Gets Replaced
Vanity, countertop, faucet, mirror, lighting, floor tile, and usually the toilet. In a lot of Brentwood ranches, the original drywall behind the tub has moisture staining, so we factor for green board or cement board replacement. The line items are honest and the price doesn’t slide once the tile comes off.
The Brentwood Factor
Older homes here often have galvanized supply lines that are heavily corroded by the local hard water. If the shutoff valves are fused, that replacement becomes part of the scope and the price. We quote it upfront, not as a surprise. A small bathroom remodel is the right project when you’re prepping a home for sale or finally addressing the bath your kids use every night.
Shower Remodel in Brentwood
A Shower Remodel in Brentwood costs between $5,000 and $12,000, and it’s the upgrade we recommend most for the 1970s and 80s homes clustered near Sunset Road and around the Sand Creek corridor. We remove the old shower pan or tub, inspect the subfloor, address any water damage, then install a properly waterproofed shower system with the tile and fixtures you’ve chosen. No shortcuts on waterproofing, and that’s non-negotiable with us.
Walk-In Showers and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Sawyer Remodeling gets a lot of calls from Brentwood homeowners who want the tub out and a walk-in shower in its place. That’s our Bathroom Remodeling crew’s bread and butter. We pour a new pre-sloped pan, run the Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor), and install a frameless glass enclosure if you want one. Budget $4,500 to $12,000 for a standalone walk-in shower installation, or $3,500 to $10,000 when we’re converting your existing tub.
Frameless Glass and Fixtures
Frameless glass enclosures are the most requested finish in Brentwood right now, especially in the newer homes around the Shadow Lakes and Trilogy communities. We partner with names like Kohler, Moen, and Grohe for shower fixtures, and we stock the common parts for Brentwood jobs so lead times don’t stretch a three-week project into two months. Shower remodels are where buyers look first, and where homeowners get the most daily return.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brentwood
We work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Toto fixtures. Manufacturer-backed products with warranties that outlast the install. Sawyer Remodeling keeps the common vanity sizes, trim pieces, and fixture parts on hand for Brentwood customers, so we’re not waiting on a shipping truck for a wax ring or a shower valve. We also service the occasional build from Abodu and Dvele out here, especially when an ADU bathroom needs a tile refresh or a walk-in shower conversion. You pick from proven brands, we handle the rest.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Brentwood Homes
- Cast-iron drain lines under the slab. Homes built in the 1960s and early 70s in Brentwood often have original cast-iron waste lines that rust from the inside out. We run a camera inspection before quoting, because replacing a collapsed section changes scope and cost in ways a surface quote never catches.
- Galvanized supply lines with heavy mineral buildup. Brentwood’s hard water leaves scale on the inside of old galvanized pipes. By year 40, the flow to a showerhead can look like a garden hose. We typically replace galvanized supply lines with PEX during any remodel where the walls are already open.
- Water damage hiding under the tile. The hot, dry summers pull moisture out of wood subfloors, but winters bring damp that reveals old leaks around tub flanges and toilet seals. In Brentwood’s 50-year-old ranches, we find soft subfloor around the bathroom entry more often than not.
- Unpermitted prior work. We see a fair number of Brentwood bathrooms where someone tiled over a shower without a waterproofing layer, or moved a toilet without a permit. That work doesn’t hold up, and it can complicate a resale. We pull permits and pass inspection sign-off on every job.

Call (254) 272-5876 to talk through whether your project needs a permit.
