Trusted Home Renovation for San Antonio Homeowners
Home Renovation in San Antonio means working with the realities of our soil, our heat, and our housing stock. Homes here face foundation shifts from expansive clay, attic temperatures that cook cheap materials, and humidity that finds every weak seal. Sawyer Remodel San Antonio has handled these conditions since 2005, led by Luca Romano. We write the price down before work starts, send you photo updates as the job moves, and answer the phone when you call. The number is (432) 547-6806.
Most San Antonio homeowners we work with are deciding between a kitchen remodel at $14,000 to $45,000, a bathroom remodel at $9,000 to $28,000, or a whole-house renovation that can run $45,000 to $130,000. Whatever the scope, you’ll know the number before we touch a tool.
Home Renovation Contractors
Home Renovation Contractors are the licensed general contractors who coordinate the entire remodel: demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, finishes, and final inspection. You need one when the project spans multiple trades. A home addition in San Antonio, for example, involves foundation work, framing, roofing, HVAC, and finish carpentry, and trying to schedule those trades yourself is where most projects stall.
At Sawyer Remodel San Antonio, we handle the coordination. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, a kitchen remodel $14,000 to $45,000, and a full home addition $45,000 to $130,000. Every scope gets a written price before work begins.
Fixed-Price Quotes, Not Ballparks
We do not give “estimates” that drift. The price you approve is the price on the invoice. The Relay Visibility Guarantee is our standing rule: a written price, live arrival time, and before-and-after photo updates on every job.
One Point of Contact
You call one number, (432) 547-6806, and get a live person who knows your project. No dispatcher runaround, no “the project manager will call you back.”
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovators
Home Renovators are the hands-on crew who execute the remodel day to day. They’re the ones setting cabinets, floating drywall, laying tile, and trimming out windows. You need skilled renovators when the work has to look right, not just function. A botched tile layout in a walk-in shower is visible every single day.
Our renovators are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who is walking into your home before they arrive. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000, a walk-in shower installation $4,500 to $12,000, and a bathroom vanity installation $800 to $3,000 in the Home Renovation - Converse and greater San Antonio market.
Background-Checked, Every Time
Every technician who enters your home has passed a background check. You get a photo and name before arrival. No strangers, no surprises.
Craftsmanship That Holds Up to Texas Heat
San Antonio summers test every material. We install with expansion and contraction in mind, use the right adhesives for high-heat attics, and pick finishes that won’t warp when the humidity spikes.
Home Improvement Contractors
Home Improvement Contractors handle upgrades that improve function and value without necessarily changing the footprint: a new countertop, a backsplash, a vanity swap, a driveway replacement. You need one when the job is too big for a handyman but doesn’t require a full design-build team.
Sawyer Remodel San Antonio takes these jobs with the same written-price standard as full remodels. Countertop installation in San Antonio runs $2,000 to $6,500, backsplash installation $800 to $2,500, and driveway replacement $5,000 to $14,000. We carry Cambria and Caesarstone for countertops, and can source Tamko and Boral products where the project calls for them.
Small Job, Same Guarantee
The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to a $800 vanity install the same as a $130,000 addition. If it’s not done right, we make it right. In writing, on every job.
Materials You Can Verify
We quote named brands so you can look up exactly what you’re paying for. No “contractor-grade” mystery products with inflated prices.
Home Renovation Companies
Home Renovation Companies range from solo operators with a truck to full general contracting firms with project managers, designers, and warranty departments. The difference shows up when something goes wrong. A company with a written warranty and a live phone line answers the call. A solo operator may be on another job for three weeks.
Sawyer Remodel San Antonio operates under The Relay Standard, part of the Relay Home Co. family since 2005. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 to $12,000, a kitchen island installation $3,000 to $10,000, and a paver patio installation $3,500 to $11,000 in this market.
The Relay Visibility Guarantee
Three things, every job: a live arrival time, photo updates before and after, and a written price before work starts. This is not an upgrade. It’s how we operate, no exceptions.
Warranty You Can Hold
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every project. If a repair fails, we come back free. No argument, no fine print.
Renovation Contractors
Renovation Contractors are the licensed professionals who pull permits, schedule inspections, and carry the insurance that protects your home if something goes sideways. You need one for any job that touches structure, plumbing, or electrical. In San Antonio, that means most remodels beyond paint and trim.
We pull permits and pass inspections as standard practice. Impact window installation in San Antonio runs $8,000 to $25,000, window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000, and a garage conversion runs $30,000 to $80,000. PGT and CGI impact products are available where wind mitigation matters.
Permits Pulled, Inspections Passed
We handle the paperwork with the City of San Antonio and surrounding jurisdictions, including Home Renovation in Universal City. You don’t chase the permit office. You get a digital invoice you pay from a link, with every line item clear.
No Change Order Games
The price we write down is the price you pay. If we find something unexpected behind a wall, we show you photos, explain the issue, and get written approval before spending another dollar.
Whole House Renovation
Whole House Home Renovation in New Braunfels and San Antonio means reworking the entire home: kitchen, baths, floors, electrical, plumbing, sometimes the roofline. You need it when a house has good bones but every room feels dated, or when you’re buying a fixer in an established San Antonio neighborhood like Terrell Hills or Castle Hills and want to bring it current without knocking it down.
A whole-house renovation in San Antonio typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage and scope. A roof replacement adds $8,000 to $20,000. A kitchen and two bathrooms alone can account for half the budget. We sequence the work so you’re not living in a construction zone longer than necessary.
Phased Work, Clear Timeline
We split the project into phases: demolition, rough-in, drywall, finishes, punch list. You get photo updates at each phase, and you know what’s happening next before it happens.
Design Help Without the Upsell
We’ll help you pick finishes from KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Kohler and Toto fixtures, and Cambria or Caesarstone countertops. You choose from proven brands with manufacturer backing, not whatever the supplier has on clearance.
Brands We Service
We install and service a wide range of manufacturer products, and we stock common parts and trim for the brands San Antonio homeowners choose most. On the exterior side, we work with Tamko and Boral roofing and siding products regularly. Tamko’s asphalt shingles hold up well in our UV-heavy climate when installed with proper attic ventilation, which is where most San Antonio roofs fail early. Boral’s trim and siding products resist the moisture swings we see in spring and fall.
For impact-rated windows and doors, we install PGT and CGI lines. PGT’s aluminum and vinyl impact windows are a common pick in wind-exposed areas around San Antonio, and we handle the full installation including flashing and sealant work. CGI’s impact-rated entry doors and windows come up often in whole-house renovations where homeowners want code-compliant wind protection. Whether you have Tamko, PGT, CGI, or any other make, we can help.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on ceilings or walls. San Antonio’s spring storms and summer humidity find every gap in a roof or window seal. A stain is the visible part. The moisture behind it is already working on your drywall and framing. Call (432) 547-6806 before the next rain.
- Cracks in drywall or tile that keep growing. Expansive clay soil under San Antonio shifts with moisture. A hairline crack in a corner may be cosmetic, but a crack that widens over months can signal foundation movement. We’ll assess whether it’s finish-level or structural before you spend money on the wrong fix.
- Floors that slope or bounce. Pier-and-beam foundations in older San Antonio neighborhoods like Windcrest and Kirby sag over time. A bouncy floor is not a personality quirk. It’s a joist or pier problem that gets more expensive the longer it waits.
- Windows that fog or won’t seal. Failed window seals mean your AC is working harder than it should, and your electric bill shows it. In San Antonio’s summer, that’s real money every month. A window replacement at $4,500 to $15,000 often pays for itself in comfort and utility savings.
- A remodel that’s been “almost done” for months. If another contractor has stopped returning calls and left your home torn apart, that’s a problem we fix. We take over stalled projects, re-scope the work, and put a written price and finish date in your hands.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You reach a live human at (432) 547-6806, not a voicemail tree. We ask about the scope, the home’s age, and what’s driving the remodel. If it’s urgent, we say so.
- 2
On-site walkthrough and measurement. We come to your home in San Antonio, take measurements, check access, and look at the existing conditions: foundation type, electrical panel capacity, water pressure, and attic ventilation. These details shape an honest price.
- 3
Written price, line by line. You get a fixed price with line items for materials, labor, permits, and disposal. No allowances that expand later. The Relay Visibility Guarantee means the number you approve is the number on your invoice.
- 4
Scheduled work with photo updates. You get a live arrival time for every day of work. We send before-and-after photos as the job progresses. You know what was done, what’s next, and who is on-site.
- 5
Final walkthrough and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We walk the finished project with you, fix any item on the punch list, and close out with a written warranty. If something isn’t done right within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
How Much Does Home Renovation Cost in San Antonio?
A typical kitchen remodel in San Antonio runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or walls. A small kitchen remodel runs $9,000 to $20,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, with a small bathroom remodel at $5,000 to $12,000 and a tub-to-shower conversion at $3,500 to $10,000. A whole-house renovation typically runs $45,000 to $130,000. A home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000.
What affects the price most? Cabinet grade and countertop material are the two biggest drivers in kitchens. In bathrooms, moving plumbing lines or replacing a cast-iron stack adds labor. In whole-home work, the home’s age matters: homes built before 1980 in San Antonio often need electrical panel upgrades and re-piping, and those costs hit early. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item written price and compare it to another written price, not to a verbal ballpark. A free estimate from us includes the full scope walkthrough, a written price, and a clear schedule. Call (432) 547-6806 to book one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Renovation in San Antonio
Home renovation is the process of updating, repairing, or reconfiguring an existing home’s interior or exterior. It can mean a single-room refresh like a bathroom remodel or a whole-house overhaul that touches every surface. In San Antonio, most renovation work includes updating older homes for modern living while protecting against our specific climate conditions, like heat, humidity, and expansive soil.
A bathroom remodel typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, a kitchen remodel 4 to 8 weeks, and a whole-house renovation 3 to 6 months depending on the scope. San Antonio’s permitting process adds time for structural or electrical work, usually 1 to 3 weeks. We give you a written schedule before work starts and update you with photos at every phase, so you always know where the project stands.
A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, a kitchen remodel $14,000 to $45,000, and a whole-house renovation $45,000 to $130,000.
