Fast, Reliable Home Renovation Across The Hammocks
Home renovation in The Hammocks usually costs between $9,000 and $45,000 depending on whether you’re remodeling a bathroom, redoing a kitchen, or converting a garage. We’re a full-service Home Renovation contractor with crews working throughout The Hammocks, FL, and we put the price in writing before a single tool gets picked up. Most properties here were built out by the 1980s and 1990s, which means the real cost of your project is often hiding behind drywall, not in the catalog price of tile or cabinets. Call us at (254) 272-5876 and we’ll schedule a free estimate, walk the job with you, and give you a written price you can hold us to.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Home Renovation Company
We don’t bid projects in The Hammocks from satellite photos. Our team has walked enough 1980s and 1990s homes off SW 147th Avenue, 104th Street, and through the gated sections around Hammocks Boulevard to know what’s behind the stucco: aluminum branch wiring, cast-iron drain lines, and subfloor that’s seen three decades of humidity. That local knowledge changes how we write a scope of work. Instead of a lowball number that balloons at rough-in, we price the walls open before you sign.
Homeowners in The Hammocks keep hiring us because we don’t disappear between visits. The Relay Visibility Guarantee is how every job runs: live arrival time, photo updates before and after each phase, and a written price confirmed before work begins. Luca Romano, our lead, reviews every change order before it reaches you. We answer the phone around the clock with an actual person, not a callback queue.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing. If something isn’t right after we close the job, we come back and make it right. No argument, no fine print.

Home Improvement Contractors in The Hammocks
Home Improvement Contractors in The Hammocks do more than hang drywall and swap faucets. On a home built in this part of Kendall between 1985 and 1995, the job often starts with opening a wall and finding cast-iron waste lines that have been quietly rusting for 30 years. We scope for that on day one. A small bathroom remodel in The Hammocks runs $5,000 to $12,000. A kitchen remodel starts around $14,000 and can reach $45,000 if you’re moving plumbing, upgrading electrical, and pulling permits for load-bearing work.
What Actually Happens After You Sign
We submit permits before demolition starts, not after. Rough-in happens next: plumbing, electrical, any structural work on load-bearing walls. Then inspections get scheduled and signed off. Only after the inspector approves do we close walls and start finish work. You get photo updates at each stage.
Why Some Bids Are Lower
We’ve seen bids from out-of-town installers that exclude the dumpster, the permit fee, and the inspection sign-off. That’s not a cheaper kitchen. That’s a smaller scope of work with surprises waiting. Our written price includes the full job as we scoped it, and if we find something behind the wall, you approve the change order before we proceed.
Home Renovation Companies in The Hammocks
Home Renovation Companies serve The Hammocks with everything from cabinet swaps to full additions, and the ones worth hiring all do the same three things: pull permits, schedule inspections, and put their scope in writing. A cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000. Countertops run $2,000 to $6,500. A walk-in shower replacement runs $4,500 to $12,000. A home addition in The Hammocks can range from $45,000 to $130,000 depending on whether you’re adding a bedroom or a second-story suite.
Scope, Schedule, and Payment Draws
We break every The Hammocks project into clear phases with a payment schedule tied to completed work, not to a calendar date. You pay a draw when rough-in passes inspection, not when a subcontractor asks. The final draw happens at punch list, after you’ve walked the finished space. Digital invoices land in your phone, so there’s no paper chase.
What Homeowners Should Ask Any Contractor
Ask what happens when the crew opens a wall and finds aluminum wiring or a rotted subfloor. If the answer is vague, you’re holding the risk. We write the answer into the contract: any hidden condition gets a written change order with a line-item price, and you approve it before we touch it.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We install and service a full range of manufacturer-backed products for The Hammocks homeowners. Cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn. Countertops from Cambria and Caesarstone. Fixtures from Kohler. Roofing materials from GAF. When you’re choosing finishes for a kitchen or bathroom, we help you pick from proven brands so you’re not gambling on a mystery supplier. We also work with prefab and panelized options from Cover and Dvele when the project calls for a faster building envelope, and Sakrete products show up on our paver and concrete driveway jobs. We keep local stock of common trim, fasteners, and shower pan components so we’re not waiting on a shipment when your schedule is tight.

AfterCommon Home Renovation Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Aluminum branch wiring. Homes built in The Hammocks through the 1980s and early 1990s often have aluminum wiring feeding kitchen and bathroom circuits. It’s undersized for modern appliance loads, and it’s a fire risk if ignored. We upgrade it during rough-in, not after the backsplash is up.
- Cast-iron drain lines. The original waste stacks in many Hammocks homes are cast iron, and after 30-plus years in Florida humidity they’re often pitted or cracked. If you’re moving a toilet or reconfiguring a bathroom, we inspect the drain line before we set the new fixture.
- Moisture-damaged subfloor near tubs and showers. Seal failure around an original tub surround or shower pan means water has been sitting on the subfloor for years. We don’t tile over rot. The floor gets opened, inspected, and replaced if needed.
- Permit gaps from previous DIY work. A previous owner’s weekend project that skipped the permit can surface during your remodel. We pull the proper permits for our work and work through any code issues we find so your renovation passes inspection and doesn’t haunt a future resale.

FAQs About Home Renovation in The Hammocks
Because most homes here were built in the 1980s and 1990s with aluminum branch wiring and cast-iron drain lines, and those get discovered only after the wall is opened. A contractor who bids from photos misses those conditions. We price for what’s behind the drywall. When we find aluminum wiring or a rotted subfloor, we write a change order with a line-item price and get your approval before proceeding. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate that includes a wall-open allowance.

Anything involving plumbing rough-in, electrical changes, load-bearing wall removal, or structural additions requires a permit in The Hammocks, and inspections must be signed off.

Call (254) 272-5876 if you’re planning a remodel and want to know what your specific job needs.
