Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Olympia Heights
Most Olympia Heights remodels and additions start with a pricing question, not a construction question. A kitchen remodel in Olympia Heights runs $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom remodel lands at $9,000 – $28,000. A home addition spans $45,000 – $130,000. Those are real numbers shaped by one thing most contractors won’t mention until the backhoe shows up: the Miami Rock Ridge under your lot.
Sawyer Remodeling has been running jobs in Olympia Heights long enough to know that oolitic limestone sits 12 to 24 inches below most yards here. That changes excavation scope, footing depth, and your bottom line. We price it honestly, put everything in writing before a tool is picked up, and keep you posted with photos at every step. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free written estimate.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Olympia Heights homeowners don’t have time for a contractor who quotes low, then “discovers” rock excavation. We’ve built our local reputation on writing the real scope into the first estimate. That means the limestone line item is there from day one, not added as a surprise change order when digging stalls.
Every Sawyer Remodeling project runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. You get a live arrival time, before-and-after photo updates, and a written price approved before any work begins. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking into your home off SW 56th Street or Bird Road. Luca Romano leads the team, and he holds every job to that standard.
Our General Contractor team serves Olympia Heights with the same process on every job: a written scope, a fixed price, and a draw schedule tied to completed milestones, not vague “progress.” No phone tag, no ghosting between visits.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Olympia Heights
A Licensed General Contractor in Olympia Heights handles the full scope of a residential project: structural work, rough-in, finishes, and final inspection sign-off. You need one when the job touches a load-bearing wall, involves an addition, or reconfigures plumbing and electrical. In this market, that work typically falls within the ranges above, and the limestone under your lot is the first thing we verify before pricing footings.
Permits and Miami-Dade Inspection
Olympia Heights sits under Miami-Dade County permitting. Interior walls, additions, and most electrical or plumbing rough-in need permits pulled before work starts. We handle that end-to-end and make sure every inspection is scheduled and passed before you pay the next draw.
Written Scope, Fixed Price
Our written estimates include a line for rock excavation when the project needs it. No vague “site prep” allowance. The price you approve is the price on the invoice, and any change order gets its own written approval before work continues.
Residential General Contractor in Olympia Heights
A Residential General Contractor in Olympia Heights runs the day-to-day of your remodel or addition: scheduling subs, coordinating material deliveries, keeping the site clean, and protecting your home while work is underway. Homeowners along Coral Way and around Tropical Park hire us because we coordinate the whole job and keep them informed through photo updates at every phase.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels
Kitchen remodels in Olympia Heights run $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop selection, and whether we’re moving plumbing. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000. We spec KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces when that’s the right fit for your budget, and every selection is priced before you commit.
Additions and Extensions
Home additions in Olympia Heights run $45,000 – $130,000. The rock ridge is the big variable: a 400-square-foot addition can require a day of limestone excavation or three, depending on depth and grade. We test-dig early so your number holds.
Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
We stock and install a focused selection of materials that hold up in South Florida’s humidity and heat. On recent Olympia Heights jobs we’ve used Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, KraftMaid cabinetry, and Kohler fixtures. For exterior work, we’ve installed James Hardie siding and products from GAF and Owens Corning. Manufacturers like Sakrete supply the concrete and leveling compounds we use on footings and slabs here, where the limestone base demands a mix that bonds well to rock. We don’t push mystery suppliers, and every material line item is written into your estimate before work begins.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
- Limestone excavation not priced. Bids that skip the rock-ridge reality leave you with a change order the moment digging starts. We line-item it from the first estimate.
- Vague allowances. “Cabinet allowance: TBD” means your final invoice can blow past the original number. We write exact cabinet, countertop, and tile allowances with brand names and dollar figures.
- Missing permits on load-bearing work. A wall comes out, the job finishes, and Miami-Dade County never signs off. That’s your liability. We pull permits and schedule every inspection.
- Verbal scope of work. Backsplash, trim, hardware: if it’s not written, it’s up for debate at punch list time. Ours is written, line by line.

FAQs About General Contractor in Olympia Heights
Yes, if the job touches load-bearing structure, plumbing, electrical, or adds square footage. Miami-Dade County issues the permits and sends inspectors for rough-in and final sign-off. We pull permits for you, schedule the inspections, and don’t ask for the next draw until the previous inspection passes. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll confirm what your project needs.
You approve nothing until it’s written down. Any change to scope or material gets a separate change order with a specific price, and work doesn’t continue on that item until you sign off. That’s The Relay Standard, and it prevents the invoice creep Olympia Heights homeowners get burned by. Call (254) 272-5876 to talk through your project.
A draw schedule ties your payments to finished milestones, not vague percentages. For example: deposit at contract, first draw after rough-in inspection passes, next draw at drywall, final draw after punch list and final inspection sign-off. We write the exact schedule into your contract before work starts. Call (254) 272-5876 for a sample draw schedule based on your scope.
Usually yes, but it’s structural work. It requires an engineered beam, a permit, and an inspection through Miami-Dade County. We handle the engineering, pull the permit, and price the beam and labor in writing before we start cutting. Call (254) 272-5876 to find out if your wall is load-bearing and what it costs to open up.
Most bathroom remodels in Olympia Heights run three to five weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on whether the limestone base affects plumbing rough-in or layout changes. We give you a written timeline at contract, and photo updates keep you on top of every phase. Call (254) 272-5876 to schedule a walkthrough and get your exact timeline.
