Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Sacramento’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005. Every job we run in Sacramento operates under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live arrival time, before-and-after photo updates, and a written price before a single tool gets picked up. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who is walking through your door. And when you call, a live person answers. No voicemail loops.
Luca Romano leads the Sacramento crew. He’s the one you’ll talk to about scope, schedule, and what the permit inspector will look for. That continuity matters on remodels, especially in older Sacramento homes where the subfloor tells a story before the tile ever goes down. We don’t hand your project off to a rotating cast. The person who walks the job is the person who writes the price.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Sacramento
A shower remodel in Sacramento costs $4,500 – $12,000 for a complete tear-out and rebuild, and it’s the right move when your existing shower leaks, the tile has cracked, or the pan has failed. In Sacramento’s pre-1950s bungalows, we often find the subfloor under the shower has settled or rotted, which means the real scope isn’t just tile and glass. It’s getting the framing flat before waterproofing goes in.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we install in Sacramento, especially in Land Park, Curtis Park, and East Sacramento, where the older homes need more thought around floor leveling. A new walk-in in Sacramento runs $4,500 – $12,000. That includes the shower pan, waterproofing, tile or solid-surface walls, and the glass enclosure.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
A frameless glass enclosure gives a small Sacramento bathroom more visual breathing room than a curtain or framed door ever will. We install them as part of our shower remodels. The glass is measured after the tile is set, so the fit is exact on walls that are rarely perfectly plumb in older Sacramento homes.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Sacramento
A tub to shower conversion in Sacramento runs $3,500 – $10,000, and it’s a smart move for homeowners who want easier entry and a more open bathroom without moving walls. The conversion means pulling the tub, reworking the drain to center the shower, waterproofing the new footprint, and installing tile or solid-surface walls. In Sacramento homes with cast iron tubs and original plumbing, the drain work can be the most involved part.
Alcove Conversions
Many Sacramento bathrooms built in the 1950s and 60s have a standard 60-inch alcove tub. Swapping that alcove tub for a walk-in shower uses the same footprint, which keeps the job fast and the cost near the bottom of the range. We’ve done dozens of these in neighborhoods like Tahoe Park and Hollywood Park.
Freestanding Tub Replacements
If your bathroom has a freestanding tub and you’d rather have a shower there, the conversion usually involves more plumbing and flooring work, which pushes the price toward the upper end. We’ll tell you exactly where the cost lands before you commit. No allowances for surprises later.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sacramento
We stock and install fixtures and surfaces from Kohler, Moen, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, so you’re not waiting on a mystery supplier with a three-week lead time. Our Sacramento supply relationships mean faster turnaround on the brands homeowners actually ask for. We also work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for vanities, and Schluter waterproofing systems go into every shower we build.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sacramento Homes
- Expansive clay soil under older homes. Sacramento’s valley clay swells and shrinks with moisture, and pre-1950s homes in neighborhoods like Land Park and Southside Park often sit on shallow footings. We regularly see subfloors that are a half-inch out of level before demo even starts.
- Galvanized steel supply lines. Many 1920s through 1960s Sacramento homes still have original galvanized pipes. They corrode from the inside, which means low water pressure at the new shower head if you don’t replace the stub-outs during rough-in.
- Shower pans that were never waterproofed correctly. We’ve removed tile showers in Sacramento where someone used drywall behind the tile and no pan liner. Water travels, the grout cracks, and the joists rot. The fix is a full tear-out, not a re-grout.
- Permits skipped on previous work. We see flips and older remodels in Sacramento neighborhoods like Oak Park where a shower was added without a permit. When you go to sell, it surfaces during inspection. We pull permits and close them, so there’s a paper trail.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Sacramento
A full bathroom remodel in Sacramento costs $9,000 – $28,000, while a small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 – $12,000. The spread depends on the size of the room, whether plumbing moves, and what you choose for finishes. We give you a written, line-item price before any work starts so you’re not guessing. Call (254) 272-5876 for an exact quote.
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, altering walls, or replacing valves and drains, Sacramento’s building department wants a permit and a rough-in inspection before the walls close. We handle the permit application, schedule the inspection, and make sure the sign-off happens. Skipping the permit means a future buyer’s inspector flags it, and opening a finished wall to inspect costs more than the permit did.
A tub-to-shower conversion in Sacramento runs $3,500 – $10,000, with most standard alcove conversions landing between $4,000 and $7,000. The variables are drain relocation, waterproofing scope, and whether you choose tile or a solid-surface wall system. Our quote is fixed before we start. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate.
Most bathroom remodels in Sacramento take 3 – 6 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on scope. A straight tub-to-shower conversion can be done in 2 – 3 weeks. The permit inspections add a few days, and custom glass or special-order vanities can stretch the schedule. We give you a calendar upfront and send photo updates as each stage completes.
The biggest price shifters are rotted or out-of-level subfloor framing, corroded galvanized plumbing behind the walls, and changes you make to fixtures or finishes after the quote. Because Sacramento’s clay soil shifts older homes, we often find framing issues only visible after demo. We write our allowance terms into the contract so any change is approved by you in writing before we proceed. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll walk you through exactly how change orders work.
