Fast, Reliable Home Renovation Across Homestead
Home renovation in Homestead means working with a contractor who understands what this city throws at a house. Hurricane-rated openings, slab-on-grade construction, high water tables, and a permit process that’s stricter here than almost anywhere else in Florida. Sawyer Remodeling handles all of it. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every project runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, live arrival time tracking, and before-and-after photo updates. No surprises at the invoice, no disappearing mid-project. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or whole-home update in Homestead, call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate.
Key takeaways for Homestead homeowners:
- Kitchen remodels in Homestead typically run $14,000 – $45,000 depending on scope, finishes, and what’s hiding under the old tile.
- Every structural or envelope change must clear Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product approval system.
- We put the price in writing before demo starts, and that number holds unless you change the scope.
- Permits, inspections, and a realistic calendar are part of the plan from day one, not an afterthought.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Homestead’s Preferred Home Renovation Company
Homestead homeowners call us because we run jobs the way they run their own lives: from a phone, with real updates, and a price that doesn’t drift. Every project gets a written scope, an allowance schedule for materials like cabinets and countertops, and a draw schedule tied to milestones, not vague “progress.” Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door before they arrive. And when you call, a live person answers. 24/7.
Luca Romano leads our team, and the standard he set from day one has not changed: if a material upgrade changes the price, you approve it in writing before we order it. That’s not a policy buried in a contract. It’s how we quote, how we schedule, and how we close out every job in Homestead. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the work for a full year after the final walkthrough. If it’s not done right, we make it right. In writing, on every project.
We know the neighborhoods. Redland, Leisure City, the communities off Campbell Drive and SW 152nd Ave. We know the housing stock: 1990s ranch homes with original builder-grade cabinets, post-Andrew construction that needs envelope upgrades, and newer builds in Waterstone that still require hurricane-rated window replacements. That local knowledge shapes how we quote and what we flag during the estimate.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovation Contractors in Homestead
Home Renovation Contractors in Homestead do more than swing hammers. The job here starts with understanding Miami-Dade code, the Florida Product Approval system, and what a slab-on-grade house does during a summer storm. Sawyer Remodeling is that contractor. We scope the work, pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep you updated with photo logs and a live arrival window for every visit.
Whole-Home and Kitchen Work
When a Homestead homeowner wants to open up a galley kitchen or convert a garage into living space, the first question we ask is structural. Load-bearing walls, roof tie-ins, window and door replacements, all of it has to clear HVHZ requirements. We handle that without slowing the schedule. A kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop selection, and whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical.
Bathroom and Wet-Area Renovations
Bathrooms in Homestead get punished by humidity and hard water. We see failing grout, moisture damage behind old tub surrounds, and subfloors that need leveling before new tile goes down. A full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. Walk-in showers start at $4,500. We quote the waterproofing system by name and show you where your money goes before you sign.
Home Renovators in Homestead
Home Renovators in Homestead need to be part scheduler, part code specialist, and part materials advisor. That’s the job at Sawyer Remodeling. We don’t hand you a price and disappear. We walk the site with you, flag what the inspector will look for, and build a calendar that respects the fact that Miami-Dade does not rush its permitting office.
Kitchen Renovators Who Plan for Reality
Our crew finished a kitchen remodel off SW 152nd Ave near the Homestead Air Reserve Base, swapping out 1990s oak cabinets for KraftMaid uppers and Silestone counters. The surprise was the subfloor. Slab moisture under the old tile meant we added a self-leveling underlayment before the new cabinets sat down. We pulled permits through Miami-Dade, passed rough-in and final inspection sign-off, and closed with a written punch list so the homeowner knew exactly what was still open.
Bathroom Renovators Who Quote the Whole Job
A tub-to-shower conversion in Homestead runs $3,500 – $10,000, but the real question is what’s behind the old tub. We quote the demo, the waterproofing, the valve replacement, and the finish trim as separate line items. If the subfloor is soft or the drain needs to move, that’s on the table before demo starts, not after. You’ll see it in the written estimate.
Trusted Brands We Service in Homestead
We stock and install materials from brands Homestead homeowners recognize. KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, Kohler fixtures, and GAF roofing products. For outdoor work, we regularly spec Sakrete concrete mixes for slabs, walkways, and paver bases because they hold up in South Florida’s heat and moisture. Abodu and Dvele are on our radar for ADU and prefab conversations where speed and precision matter. We keep turnaround tight because we order direct from regional suppliers and coordinate delivery windows around your schedule, not ours.

AfterCommon Home Renovation Problems We See in Homestead Homes
- Slab moisture under old flooring. High water table plus summer storms means moisture gets trapped under tile and vinyl. We test before we quote so the fix is priced upfront, not discovered after demo.
- Load-bearing walls hiding in plain sight. A 1990s ranch off Campbell Drive might have a wall that looks cosmetic but carries roof load. We identify it during the estimate, not after the sledgehammer comes out.
- Window and door openings that fail HVHZ review. If you’re replacing windows or widening an opening, the new product has to carry Florida Product Approval. We specify approved units from the start.
- Cabinet and counter allowance gaps. You pick Silestone on paper, then a Cambria slab catches your eye in the showroom. Without an allowance schedule, that’s a surprise invoice. We build allowances into every written quote.

FAQs About Home Renovation in Homestead
Yes, in most cases. Homestead sits in Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so any work that touches the building envelope, structural walls, plumbing, or electrical requires a permit and inspections. “Just cosmetic” work that turns out to involve a load-bearing wall or a window opening will get red-tagged if it wasn’t permitted. We pull permits as part of the job and build inspection dates into the calendar. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project triggers before you spend a dime.
A full kitchen remodel in Homestead runs $14,000 – $45,000. A smaller kitchen with stock cabinets and laminate counters can come in around $9,000 – $20,000. The spread comes down to cabinet construction, countertop material, whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines, and what’s under the old floor. We quote a fixed written price with an allowance schedule for finishes, so you know what’s covered before demo starts.
Most Homestead bathroom remodels run 3 to 5 weeks from the day we start demo to the final inspection sign-off. Permit turnaround in Miami-Dade can add 1 to 2 weeks before demo begins, depending on scope. We sequence the work so rough-in inspection, waterproofing inspection, and final sign-off all land on schedule. You’ll have the calendar in writing before the first hammer drops.
Yes, and we do it regularly in Homestead. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000 and usually stays contained to the footprint of the old tub. We demo the tub, check the subfloor, install a waterproofed shower pan with Schluter edge trim where tile meets floor, and finish with new valve and trim. The rest of the bathroom stays untouched unless you want us to expand the scope.
Three things: you change a finish selection beyond the allowance, we find hidden damage behind walls or under floors that wasn’t visible during the estimate, or you add scope. Anything else stays at the written price. If we find something, we stop, document it with photos, and get your written approval before spending another dollar. No exceptions.
