Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Parkway
We’re Sawyer Remodeling, and we’ve worked on enough Parkway homes to know what’s behind those mid-century walls before we open them. Most houses here went up between the late 1940s and early 1970s, and that changes how every remodel gets scoped, priced, and permitted. If you’re planning a kitchen, bath, or addition in Parkway, call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll write you a price before any tool leaves the truck. That means a line-item scope, a fixed number, and no phone tag when you have questions.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Parkway’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Parkway homeowners tend to ask the same three questions: what will this cost, when will you show up, and who exactly is walking through my door. We answer all three before work starts. Every project runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live arrival time, photo updates before and after, and a written price in your hands before demo day. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know the person at your door is the same person we said would be there.
Luca Romano leads our crew, and he’s walked enough Parkway jobs to know that the original galvanized plumbing behind a 1963 kitchen wall will usually need replacing before the new cabinets go in. That’s not a surprise we spring on you mid-project. It’s a line item we flag during the estimate so your written price reflects the real job. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every project: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That applies to the tile, the trim, and the panel upgrade.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Parkway
When you hire a General Contractor in Parkway, you’re not just paying for labor. You’re paying for someone to manage the permit counter, coordinate the electrician and plumber, order materials so they arrive in the right sequence, and keep the job moving when the inspector finds something unexpected. In Parkway, that last part matters more than most homeowners expect. The housing stock is old enough that walls hide things.
What a GC Actually Coordinates
We pull permits, schedule inspections, and manage subs so you don’t have to. For a Parkway kitchen remodel, that means the rough-in inspection happens before drywall, the final inspection happens before you use the stove, and we’re on site for both. We also write change orders when a wall opens up and reveals something the permit office will want fixed before sign-off.
The Cost of Not Having a Written Scope
A contractor who quotes verbally and starts swinging a hammer is guessing. In Parkway, a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, and a kitchen runs $14,000 to $45,000. The difference between the low and high end is usually what’s hiding behind the walls: galvanized supply lines, a 60-amp panel, or framing that was never strapped. We price those as allowances in the written estimate, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
General Contractor Services in Parkway
General Contractor Services in Parkway cover a lot of ground, but the jobs we handle most are kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, room additions, basement finishing, and decks. Each one has its own permit path and price range, and each one moves at a different speed. A deck can go from footings to final in two weeks. A home addition runs multiple inspections and a longer calendar.
Kitchen and Bath Work
A Parkway kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint or moving plumbing and walls. Bathroom remodels start around $9,000 and climb to $28,000 when you’re adding a walk-in shower, moving a toilet, or replacing cast iron drain lines. We’ll show you where your project falls in that range before you commit.
Additions, ADUs, and Conversions
A home addition in Parkway runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU starts around $90,000. Garage conversions land between $30,000 and $80,000. These are big-ticket jobs with structural engineering, foundation work, and a full permit file. We manage that entire process and keep you updated with photo logs and a digital invoice you pay from a link.

Trusted Brands We Service in Parkway
We install and service materials from manufacturers we can stand behind, which matters when Parkway’s older homes need updates that will last. Kitchen jobs often include KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria or Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler fixtures. Exterior work pulls from James Hardie siding and GAF roofing. For deck and concrete work, we’ve used Sakrete mixes rated for Sacramento’s wet winters and dry summers. Parkway homeowners don’t get mystery suppliers or off-brand substitutes. You get a written spec that names the materials, and those materials arrive with manufacturer backing.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Parkway Homes
- Galvanized plumbing that’s already failing. Parkway’s mid-century homes were plumbed with galvanized steel, which corrodes from the inside out over 60 years. It’s common to open a wall for a kitchen remodel and find supply lines that are nearly closed off with rust.
- Undersized electrical panels. Many Parkway homes still run on 100-amp panels, which can’t support a modern kitchen with an induction range, double oven, and dedicated circuits for small appliances. Code requires an upgrade before inspection will pass.
- Contractors who skip the permit. We see this everywhere in Parkway. A homeowner gets a low verbal quote, work starts, and then the inspector never comes because no permit was pulled. When they eventually sell the house, the unpermitted work becomes a disclosure problem.
- Change orders that feel like gotchas. The honest version of a change order is a written document that shows what changed, why it changed, and the new line-item price. The dishonest version is a text message asking for more money. We do the first one.

FAQs About General Contractor in Parkway
How do I know if my Parkway remodel needs a permit?
Any structural change, plumbing relocation, electrical work, or addition in Parkway requires a permit, and most kitchen and bath remodels touch at least two of those. If you’re moving a wall, adding circuits, or replacing a drain line, you need a permit file opened. We pull permits ourselves and schedule the inspections, so sign-off happens before the final walkthrough. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll tell you what your specific project needs.
What should be included in a written scope of work for a Parkway kitchen remodel?
The scope should name every material by brand and line, list every trade, show the permit path and inspection points, include an allowance for rough-in surprises, and state the total fixed price. In Parkway, that allowance matters because older homes frequently need galvanized repiping or panel upgrades once walls open. Ours includes all of that in writing before you sign. Call (254) 272-5876 to see a sample scope from a past Parkway job.
Why do older Parkway homes often require a change order during remodeling?
Because the original plumbing and electrical systems don’t meet current code, and you can’t know that until the wall is open. A change order is a written document that updates the price and scope when the job’s reality differs from the estimate. We write change orders in plain language with line-item prices, and you approve them before the work continues. That way nothing shows up on the final invoice that you didn’t see coming. Call (254) 272-5876 for a quote that builds this in from day one.
How long does a typical bathroom remodel take in Parkway?
A standard Parkway bathroom remodel runs 3 to 5 weeks from demo to final inspection, assuming no major surprises. If we find cast iron drains that need replacing or a subfloor that’s rotted around the toilet, that adds time and gets written into a change order. We’ll give you a calendar with milestones before we start, and you’ll get photo updates at each step. Call (254) 272-5876 to schedule your estimate.
Can you help with a home addition or ADU in Parkway?
Yes. Home additions in Parkway run $45,000 to $130,000, and ADUs start around $90,000. These projects need structural engineering, foundation plans, and a full permit file with multiple inspections. We manage that entire process, from the architect’s drawings to the final sign-off. Luca can walk your lot and tell you what’s feasible before you spend money on plans. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free site consultation.
