Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Ojus
A general contractor in Ojus coordinates the permits, the crews, the inspections, and the budget so you’re not juggling six trades on your own. Most Ojus remodels run $9,000 to $45,000 depending on whether you’re replacing a vanity or gutting a kitchen, and the fastest way to a real number is a written, line-item estimate before any work starts. We know how unincorporated Miami-Dade permitting works here, which means fewer surprises at the inspection stage. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll scope your job in plain language.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Ojus’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Ojus sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade, so general contractor work here pulls permits through Miami-Dade County’s Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources rather than a city building department. That distinction matters: the 40-year recertification clock on mid-century homes along the Biscayne Canal corridor means many “small” remodels turn into structural and inspection sign-off conversations. Our team has walked enough Ojus ranch homes to know what a 1962 subfloor looks like when the tile comes up.
Luca Romano leads our crews with a simple rule: the written price you approve is the price you pay, and if something is not done right, we make it right. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing on every job. Ojus homeowners call us because we answer the phone live, send photo updates before and after, and never disappear mid-project.
Our Ojus customers tell us the same thing: the draw schedule made sense, the change orders were explained before they signed, and the punch list closed. That’s how a General Contractor should operate.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Ojus
Hire a General Contractor in Ojus when the job touches multiple trades, load-bearing walls, waterproofing, or county permits. We took a 1962 canal-front ranch off NE 205th Street from a gutted galley kitchen with a failing subfloor to a finished KraftMaid layout with Silestone counters; our first move was pulling the county permits and holding the rough-in inspection before any cabinets landed.
Scoped Work, Not Allowance Fog
Homeowners kept a written allowance schedule for tile and fixtures, signed one change order when a load-bearing wall tested marginal, and we closed a clean punch list on day 74. That’s the pace and transparency Ojus homeowners should expect.
Permits Before Demolition
In unincorporated Ojus, you don’t pull a city permit. You go through the county. We file that paperwork before the first hammer swing, and we hold inspections on schedule so your remodel doesn’t stall.
General Contractor Services in Ojus
General Contractor Services in Ojus cover kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, room additions, and the exterior work that South Florida humidity wrecks. A typical kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 – $45,000, while a small bathroom refresh starts around $5,000 and a home addition ranges $45,000 – $130,000.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Kitchens get KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, Silestone or Caesarstone counters, and Kohler or Toto fixtures if that’s your pick. Bathrooms get Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor), proper shower pan slopes, and ventilation that actually moves humid air out.
Additions and Openings
Room additions in Ojus mean new foundation ties, hurricane straps, and county inspections at every stage. We coordinate structural engineering, the concrete pour, framing, and the finish trades so you get one schedule, one point of contact, and one written price.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Soft subfloors under 1960s tile. Tearing out old bathroom tile in an Ojus ranch often reveals plywood that’s been soaking up humidity for 50 years. We inspect the deck before we quote the finish work.
- County permit surprises. Bidding a Miami-Dade county permit job as if it were a city-permitted job, then passing the delay and re-inspection cost to the homeowner as a surprise change order. We don’t do that.
- Vague draw schedules. Allowances quoted as a single lump make cabinets, counters, and impact windows impossible to reconcile. Our draw schedule is itemized from day one.
- Impact window timing. Ojus homes close to the coast need impact glass or shutters, and the permitting path through the county adds days if it’s not filed early. We sequence window permits alongside your interior scope so the schedule holds.

FAQs About General Contractor in Ojus
Miami-Dade County’s Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources issues permits for Ojus because the area is unincorporated, and yes, county review can add one to three weeks depending on the scope and the recertification status of the home. We file early and hold inspections on schedule. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your property needs.
Cabinetry is the biggest lever. Stock boxes with a simple door profile sit at the low end, while KraftMaid or Wellborn custom layouts with soft-close everything and a Silestone or Caesarstone island push you toward $45,000. What’s behind the drywall matters too: a failing subfloor or outdated plumbing stack adds structural and rough-in labor, and that’s where Ojus’s 1960s ranch stock often hides costs. We quote those conditions from a site visit, not a guess.
We never start a change without a signed, written change order that shows the new price and the schedule impact. If a load-bearing wall tests marginal during demo, you’ll see the structural engineer’s note and a fixed number before we touch it. No verbal “we’ll figure it out later.”
A punch list is the final walkthrough, and it should be short: a misaligned drawer, a paint touch-up, a piece of trim that needs re-caulking. We run the punch list with you in the room, photograph every item, and close it before we call the job done. You sign off, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise starts that day.
Yes. We put the price in writing before any work starts, and that number is the number on your invoice. No change order, no surprise. Call (254) 272-5876 to schedule your free estimate and we’ll send a written scope and price.
