Trusted Home Renovation for Orlando Homeowners
Home Renovation in Orlando runs anywhere from $5,000 for a small bathroom refresh to $130,000 for a full home addition, and most homeowners juggle three worries: a price that balloons mid-project, a contractor who goes quiet, and a crew they don’t recognize at the door. Sawyer Remodel Orlando has been cutting that risk out of the equation since 2005. Every job we take in Orlando, from College Park bungalows to Lake Nona new builds, runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, live arrival time tracking, and photo updates throughout the project. You’ll know who is walking into your home, what they’re doing, and what it costs, before a single tool gets picked up. Call (850) 809-0306 to talk through your project.
Home Renovation Contractors
Home Renovation Contractors are licensed general contractors who manage the full scope of a remodel, from pulling permits to coordinating subs, which is what you need when a project spans more than one trade and someone has to own the schedule. Sawyer Remodel Orlando handles both: we’re a general contractor with crews and trade partners we’ve worked alongside for years, so a kitchen remodel in Orlando that runs $14,000 – $45,000 or a bathroom remodel at $9,000 – $28,000 has one point of contact with written accountability attached. Luca Romano leads every project with a simple rule: the number you approve is the number you pay.
Permit Management Without the Runaround
Orlando and Orange County have specific permitting requirements for structural, electrical, and plumbing work, and the process slows down fast if paperwork isn’t filed correctly the first time. We pull permits, coordinate inspections, and keep a record of every approval so you’re not chasing the city yourself.
Subcontractor Accountability
When a renovation involves electrical, plumbing, and tile work, the homeowner usually ends up managing three different phone numbers. Not here. Our crew leads are background-checked and uniformed, and every trade partner answers to Sawyer Remodel Orlando, not to you, so one call gets you an answer on any part of the job.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovators
Home Renovators handle the hands-on transformation of a home, taking a dated space and rebuilding it for how you actually live, which is exactly what Orlando homeowners need when a 1990s floor plan fights a 2025 lifestyle. Sawyer Remodel Orlando works as your renovation partner from the first walkthrough to the final walkthrough, and we put the full project cost in writing before we start, so a whole house renovation in Orlando that lands between $45,000 and $130,000 is scoped line by line, not guessed at. You’ll get photo updates showing progress, not process.
Layout Changes That Pay Off
In neighborhoods like Thornton Park and Colonialtown, older homes carry charm but not open sightlines. We regularly open walls, reconfigure kitchens, and rework bathrooms, pulling the permit set and the structural engineering so it is done to code, not done twice.
Finishes That Hold Up in Florida Humidity
Orlando moisture punishes cheap materials. We spec cabinets from KraftMaid and countertops from Cambria or Silestone with the understanding that humidity and daily use are the real test, so we recommend products that won’t swell, warp, or delaminate three summers in.
Home Improvement Contractors
Home Improvement Contractors take on targeted upgrades like new cabinetry, a shower replacement, or driveway work, which is the right fit when the bones of the home are fine but the surfaces and fixtures have run their course. Sawyer Remodel Orlando handles those jobs with the same written-price discipline as a full home renovation, so a tub-to-shower conversion in Orlando at $3,500 – $10,000 or a paver patio at $3,500 – $11,000 comes with a fixed number before demolition day. The 365-Day Done Right Promise rides along on every scope, even the smaller ones.
Material Sourcing From Brands You Can Check
We don’t buy from the mystery aisle. Countertops come from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone; cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn; fixtures from Kohler, Moen, or Grohe. Every material has a manufacturer behind it and a published spec sheet you can read before you sign.
Single-Contractor Convenience
Many Orlando homeowners end up hiring four different companies for a bathroom, a driveway, and a window swap. You can do that, or you can run it through one office that answers the phone 24/7, shows up in uniform, and gives you a live arrival time before every visit.
Home Renovation Companies
Home Renovation Companies range from two-person operations to national marketing machines, and the difference usually shows in whether the phone gets answered and whether the price in the proposal survives contact with reality. Sawyer Remodel Orlando is part of the Relay Home Co. family of independent local businesses, but this location is independently owned and operated, run by Luca Romano and the crew that works the Orlando market every day. Since 2005, we’ve built the process around one thing: a written price before work starts, on every job, no exceptions.
What Separates a Renovation Company From a Handyman
A handyman is right for a loose door hinge. A renovation company is right for a kitchen remodel at $14,000 – $45,000 or a home addition at $45,000 – $130,000, because those jobs require permits, structural work, coordinating trades, and standing behind the result for a year. We do all of that in house.
The Digital Invoice Advantage
You won’t get a scribbled number on a carbon copy. Every Sawyer Remodel Orlando invoice is digital, payable from a link, and matches the written scope you approved. That is what keeps the invoice the same as the estimate, and it is a big reason homeowners stop shopping once they see how we run a job.
Renovation Contractors
Renovation Contractors are the licensed professionals who execute a remodel from demo to trim, and the good ones in Orlando carry insurance, pull permits, and give you a schedule they can actually hold. Sawyer Remodel Orlando fits that description, and we back it with a written guarantee on every project: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year after the job closes. Luca Romano runs the Orlando operation as a craft-first shop, which means the trim guy is a trim guy, not a rotating subcontractor learning on your dime.
Scope Written Before Tools Are Picked Up
No-hassle upfront pricing is not a sales line for us. It is the process. When you approve a renovation, you approve a written scope and a written number, so a kitchen island installation at $3,000 – $10,000 or an impact window installation at $8,000 – $25,000 stays where it started.
Photo Updates You Actually Receive
Every Sawyer Remodel Orlando project includes before-and-after photo updates. You’ll see the progress while you’re at work or traveling, which means you’re never wondering whether the crew actually showed up and what they did while they were there.
Whole House Renovation
Whole House Renovation means taking the entire footprint of a home and rebuilding it as one planned project, which is the right call when you have dated systems, a choppy layout, and a long list of “someday” repairs all fighting for the same budget. A whole house renovation in Orlando typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, structural changes, and finish level, and it is the most demanding project a homeowner will ever run. Sawyer Remodel Orlando handles entire-home work with a phased plan, a written price for the complete scope, and a live schedule you can follow from your phone.
Phasing That Keeps You in the House
Not every whole house renovation forces a move-out. In neighborhoods like Audubon Park and Delaney Park, we sequence the work so one bathroom stays functional while the other is gutted, and the kitchen relocation happens before the old one comes out. You’ll know the sequence before we start.
The Materials List You Actually Approve
Whole house work multiplies the material decisions, so we make them early. Cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and exterior finishes are selected and written into the scope with named brands like Wellborn, Cambria, and KraftMaid, so the finished product matches the plan, not a substitute.
Brands We Service
KraftMaid cabinetry shows up on many of our Orlando kitchen and bath projects because the construction is solid, the finish holds up to Florida humidity, and the warranty is actually useful when something goes wrong. We’ve installed enough KraftMaid cabinets to know which door styles and drawer systems survive daily use in a busy household, and we spec accordingly rather than pushing a sale on upgrades you won’t benefit from.
Cambria and Silestone countertops are our go-to quartz lines for Orlando kitchens because both brands handle heat, spills, and citrus acids without the sealing schedule natural stone demands. We’ve templated, fabricated, and installed both for years, and we know how to handle the edge profiles, overhang details, and sink cutouts that separate a clean install from a costly redo. Whether you have KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, or any other make in mind, we can work with it.

- Water stains on the ceiling or around windows. In Orlando, this is rarely a one-time drip. It usually means a roof leak, a window flashing failure, or a plumbing line weeping behind drywall, and small stains become mold and rot faster in Florida humidity than in most climates.
- Floor tiles that move or grout that keeps cracking. Moving tile means the subfloor is flexing or the thinset bond has failed. That is a structural or moisture problem underneath, and replacing the tile without fixing the cause means you’ll pay for the job twice.
- Doors and windows that stick in summer. Wood swells in Orlando humidity, but persistent sticking can also signal foundation movement or framing that has shifted. A renovation contractor can diagnose which one you’re dealing with before it becomes a structural repair.
- Electrical that flickers when appliances cycle. If your lights dim when the AC kicks on or the microwave runs, your panel may be undersized for a modern Orlando home. That’s not a repair-and-forget item; it’s a renovation scope item that should get addressed before you add more load with a remodel.
- One side of the house feels dramatically hotter than the other.That usually points to inadequate insulation, failing weather sealing, or single-pane windows doing nothing against Florida sun. A home improvement contractor can audit the envelope and fold the fix into a broader renovation without guesswork.
Our Process, Step by Step

- 3
Written scope and price. You get a line-by-line written price before any work starts, with materials named and labor broken out. No allowances that balloon later, no verbal “it’ll probably be around” numbers. If it is in the scope, it is priced.
- 4
Permits, scheduling, and the build.We pull the permits, file the paperwork, and give you a schedule with live arrival times and before-and-after photo updates at each phase. You’ll know what is happening while it is happening, not after you ask.
- 5
Walkthrough and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We do a final walkthrough with you, punch anything that needs punching, and then the clock starts on a full year of accountability. If it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing, on every project.
How Much Does Home Renovation Cost in Orlando?
A typical kitchen remodel in Orlando runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether walls move, and Goldenrod Home Renovation projects follow the same pricing structure. A small kitchen remodel lands at $9,000 – $20,000, while a bathroom remodel sits at $9,000 – $28,000 and a small bathroom at $5,000 – $12,000. Countertop installation runs $2,000 – $6,500, cabinet installation $4,000 – $13,000, and a walk-in shower installation $4,500 – $12,000. For bigger work, a home addition in Orlando runs $45,000 – $130,000 and a garage conversion $30,000 – $80,000. What shifts the number most: layout changes behind walls, the finish level you choose, and whether the project triggers structural or electrical upgrades. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written scope with named materials and fixed labor, which is the only kind of estimate Sawyer Remodel Orlando writes. Every free estimate includes the full price, not a teaser number.
