Trusted General Contractor for Orlando Homeowners
Finding a general contractor in Orlando who actually shows up, keeps you informed, and stands behind the work shouldn’t feel like a gamble. That’s exactly the problem we solve at Sawyer Remodel Orlando. We’ve been running full-scale remodels and residential construction across Orlando since 2005, and every project operates under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, live arrival time tracking, and before-and-after photo updates so you’re never left guessing. Luca Romano leads our Orlando team, and we answer the phone live around the clock. Call (850) 809-0306 for a free estimate on your project.
Construction Company
A General Contractor in Orlando takes your home from the plan you have in your head to the finished space you live in, handling everything from tear-out to final inspection. If you’re facing a kitchen that doesn’t function, a bathroom past its useful life, or a whole-home renovation that’s too big for a handyman, you need a team that manages permits, subs, materials, and schedule under one roof. Sawyer Remodel Orlando operates as a full-scope construction company with transparent pricing: kitchens run $14,000-$45,000, bathrooms $9,000-$28,000, and home additions $45,000-$130,000 depending on scope and finishes.
Project Management With a Visible Schedule
Every job gets a written scope and a realistic timeline before demo starts. You’ll see photo updates before and after each phase, and the invoice you pay matches the number you approved. No surprises at the door, no ghosting between visits.
Permit-Ready From Day One
Orlando and Orange County have their own permit requirements depending on the scope, and we pull everything needed for structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Inspections get scheduled and passed before we call the project done.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor focuses on transforming what you already have rather than building new square footage, and that’s where most Orlando homeowners start. Maybe the 90s-era vanity has to go, the tub is getting harder to step into, or the kitchen layout fights you every time you cook. Sawyer Remodel Orlando handles bathroom remodels from $9,000-$28,000, small bathroom remodels from $5,000-$12,000, and kitchen remodels from $14,000-$45,000, with every price locked in writing before we start.
Material Choices You Can Actually Trust
We don’t push mystery suppliers. Countertops come from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone; cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn; fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. You pick from proven brands with manufacturer backing, and we install to spec so warranties hold up.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise
After we close out your remodel, you’ve got a full year of accountability. If something’s not done right, we come back and make it right, in writing, on every single project. That’s not a premium add-on; it’s standard.
Licensed General Contractor
A licensed general contractor carries the state license, insurance, and bonding required to pull permits, manage trade crews, and pass inspections on residential work in Orlando. The license isn’t a piece of paper; it’s proof the contractor has met Florida’s requirements for competency and financial responsibility. Sawyer Remodel Orlando holds the proper licensing and insurance to run remodels and renovations across the Orlando metro, and we pull permits on every job that requires them. Typical scopes we handle: kitchen remodels $14,000-$45,000, bathroom remodels $9,000-$28,000, and driveways $4,500-$18,000 depending on material.
Why Licensing Matters on Your Project
Unlicensed work can void your homeowner’s insurance, stall a sale at inspection, and leave you with no legal recourse if the work fails. We carry the coverage and credentials so the job is done to code and protected.
Inspection-Ready Workmanship
Orange County inspectors look at structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, and we schedule every inspection and stay until it passes. You’ll get confirmation that the work was approved, not just a verbal “trust us.”
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor specializes in single-family homes, townhouses, and small multi-unit properties rather than commercial buildings or high-rises. That matters because residential work comes with different codes, different material standards, and a different level of daily disruption to your family. Sawyer Remodel Orlando is a residential general contractor serving Orlando, our General Contractor in Winter Park, Casselberry, and surrounding neighborhoods, with clear pricing for the work homeowners actually need. Roof replacements run $8,000-$20,000, window replacements $4,500-$15,000, and vinyl fence installation $3,500-$9,000.
Living in Your Home During the Work
Most of our clients stay put while we remodel, so dust control, daily cleanup, and a tight schedule aren’t optional. We treat your home like people live in it because they do.
One Crew, One Point of Contact
You won’t juggle calls from five different subs. Our uniformed, background-checked technicians coordinate the whole job, and you’ll always know who’s walking through the door before they arrive.
Hire a General Contractor
Hire a general contractor when the project involves more than one trade, requires permits, or costs enough that getting it wrong would be painful. Painting a bedroom? A handyman works. Rerouting plumbing, moving walls, or replacing a roof? You need a licensed professional who owns the whole outcome. Sawyer Remodel Orlando makes the decision simple: written prices before any work begins, live arrival tracking, and photo documentation from start to finish. Small kitchen remodels start around $9,000, walk-in showers at $4,500, and paver patios at $3,500.
What Separates a Professional From a Guy With a Truck
Written contracts, permits, insurance, and a track record. We’ve been doing this since 2005 under The Relay Standard, and every project includes the same guarantees whether it’s a $3,000 backsplash or a $130,000 addition.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
Ask for a written line-item price, ask who pulls the permits, and ask what happens if the work fails. We answer all three up front, in writing, every time.
General Contractor Services
General Contractor Maintenance Checklist for Orlando Homeowners aside, general contractor services cover the full range of residential construction and remodeling work, from small upgrades to full-scale renovations and additions. Sawyer Remodel Orlando brings the same written pricing and visibility guarantee to every scope. Here’s what Orlando homeowners typically call us for, with the price ranges we quote: kitchen remodels $14,000-$45,000, bathroom remodels $9,000-$28,000, tub-to-shower conversions $3,500-$10,000, driveway replacements $5,000-$14,000, roof replacements $8,000-$20,000, and home additions $45,000-$130,000.
Bathroom and Kitchen Remodels
These are the two most common projects we run in Orlando, and they’re also where sloppy work creates the worst long-term problems. We waterproof properly, vent properly, and use the named-brand materials you’d choose yourself if you spent a weekend researching.
Exterior Work and Structural Scope
Roofing, siding, windows, driveways, and additions all fall under our GC umbrella. Same written price, same 365-Day Done Right Promise, same accountability on a $400 roof repair as on a six-figure addition.

Brands We Service
We install and service cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and we’ve completed hundreds of kitchen and bath projects using their lines. KraftMaid’s semi-custom frame options give Orlando homeowners flexibility without the full custom price tag, and we spec them correctly so doors, drawers, and hardware all line up the way they should after years of daily use. Wellborn’s cabinet boxes are built with plywood construction on select lines, and we know which collections hold up best in Florida’s humidity.
Countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone are our standard recommendations for Orlando homes because they handle heat, moisture, and daily abuse without the maintenance issues of natural stone. We template, fabricate, and install with tight seams and proper edge profiles. Whether you have KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, or any other make, we can help.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling or around windows. That’s usually a roof leak or failed flashing, and in Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms it only gets worse. A small repair now, typically $400-$1,800, beats a full ceiling replacement and mold remediation later.
- Cracks in drywall that keep coming back after patching. Recurring cracks can point to structural movement or settling issues. A licensed general contractor can assess whether it’s cosmetic or something that needs an engineer’s eye before you spend money on repeated patch jobs.
- Grout cracking or tiles popping in the shower. Water gets behind the tile and into the wall cavity, which means hidden mold and rot. Tub-to-shower conversions in Orlando run $3,500-$10,000 and are often cheaper than the demolition and rebuild that follows months of ignored leaks.
- Doors or windows that stick seasonally. Florida’s humidity swings cause expansion and contraction, but if doors won’t latch or windows won’t open without a fight, the framing or installation may be the real problem. We can tell you whether it’s a quick adjustment or a replacement job.
- Electrical flicker when the AC kicks on. Lights that dim briefly under load can mean an undersized panel or loose connections. Neither fixes itself, and both are exactly the kind of work that should never be DIY’d.
Safety note: Electrical panels, gas lines, and structural work carry real risk. We don’t recommend any homeowner open a panel or move a load-bearing wall without a licensed professional on site, and our Orlando team handles these jobs with permits and inspections on every one.

How Much Does General Contractor Cost in Orlando?
A typical kitchen remodel with a Goldenrod General Contractor runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or walls. Bathrooms land between $9,000 and $28,000, with small baths starting around $5,000. Walk-in shower installations run $4,500-$12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion is typically $3,500-$10,000. Driveway work ranges from $3,500 for asphalt paving to $18,000 for a paver driveway, and roof replacements span $8,000-$20,000 depending on the material and square footage. Home additions and ADUs are the big-ticket items: additions start at $45,000 and can reach $130,000, while ADU construction runs $90,000-$220,000.
What moves the price? Scope of demo, material selections, whether we’re working around existing plumbing or moving it, and any structural work discovered once walls open up. Orlando’s older neighborhoods around Colonialtown and Delaney Park often hide surprises behind drywall, so we quote honestly and build in a clear process for change orders. How do you avoid overpaying? Get a line-item written price, not a lump-sum number, and ask whether permits are included. Our free estimate includes the full written breakdown so you can compare apples to apples.
