Trusted Home Renovation for Woodland Hills Homeowners
Most Woodland Hills homeowners start a renovation with one question: what will this actually cost? The honest answer is that it depends on the scope, but you should never have to guess. A kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, a bathroom remodel $9,000 to $28,000, and a whole house renovation can start around $45,000 and climb from there. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills, part of the Relay Home Co. family since 2005, puts every price in writing before a single tool is picked up. Led by Luca Romano, our team brings nearly two decades of remodeling work to homes across the 91364 and 91367 zip codes. Call (341) 217-2776 for a free estimate with no obligation.
Home Renovation Contractors
Home Renovation Contractors handle the planning, permitting, demolition, and rebuilding that turns an outdated house into one that works for the way you live now. You need one when the project spans multiple trades (framing, electrical, plumbing, tile, cabinetry) and someone has to own the schedule. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills operates as a Home Renovation - Woodland Hills general contractor with The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live arrival time, photo updates before and after, and a written price before work begins. Kitchen remodels here run $14,000 to $45,000. Bathroom remodels fall between $9,000 and $28,000. A home addition can range from $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage and foundation work.
Single Point of Accountability
When you hire us, you’re not juggling five subcontractors and hoping they show up. Luca Romano runs the job, coordinates the trades, and answers the phone when you call. One contractor, one schedule, one written price.
Permits Handled Correctly
Woodland Hills sits within the City of Los Angeles, so most structural work, electrical changes, and plumbing moves require permits. We pull them, schedule the inspections, and don’t hide permit fees in the fine print. The inspection pass is part of the job, not an extra.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovators
Home Renovators focus on transforming what already exists rather than adding new square footage. That means kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, windows, and interior layouts. You need a renovator when the bones of your house are solid but the surfaces and systems feel decades behind. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills handles everything from a small bathroom remodel at $5,000 to $12,000 up to a full kitchen at $14,000 to $45,000. Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, backed in writing.
Material Choices That Matter
We spec materials from Cambria, Caesarstone, Kohler, and KraftMaid because manufacturer warranties mean something five years down the road. You pick from proven brands, not whatever was left in a warehouse. The price for those selections is in the written estimate before you commit.
Working Around Your Life
Renovation is disruptive, but chaos doesn’t have to be the default. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive at the time we said they would, and you get photo updates before and after each phase. No four-hour windows, no wondering who is in your house.
Home Improvement Contractors
Home Improvement Contractors cover the broad middle ground between handyman fixes and full structural remodels. Think cabinet installation ($4,000 to $13,000), countertop replacement ($2,000 to $6,500), backsplash work ($800 to $2,500), or a vinyl fence ($3,500 to $9,000). You need one when the job requires a permit, a licensed trade, or a finish quality that matters. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills treats every project, even a backsplash, with the same written price and photo documentation as a whole kitchen gut.
Fixed Scope, Fixed Price
The number you approve is the number on the invoice. If we uncover rot behind a wall or a code issue under the sink, we stop, show you photos, and give you a written change order before touching anything else. No surprise line items at the end.
Small Jobs, Same Standard
A $2,000 backsplash gets the same live arrival time, the same uniformed technician, and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as a $45,000 kitchen. Luca Romano’s name is on the work either way, and that’s not something we take lightly.
Home Renovation Companies
Home Renovation Companies range from solo operators working out of a truck to national franchises with call centers. The difference shows up in how they handle problems. You need one with a real process when the project crosses $10,000 and you can’t afford a disappearing act. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills has been part of Relay Home Co. since 2005, and every job runs under The Relay Standard: a written price, live arrival tracking, and before-and-after photo updates. Our kitchen islands run $3,000 to $10,000. Walk-in showers land between $4,500 and $12,000.
Who Answers the Phone
Call (341) 217-2776 at midnight and a live person picks up. That’s not a marketing line. We staff 24/7 live answering because a leak at 11 p.m. shouldn’t wait for a callback queue at 9 a.m.
Written Guarantee, Not a Handshake
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every contract. If something fails within a year of completion, we come back and fix it. If we have to make a second trip for the same repair, it’s free. No argument, no deductible, no fine print.
Renovation Contractors
Renovation Contractors are the licensed professionals who pull permits, manage subcontractors, and carry the liability when something goes sideways. You need one for any job that changes structure, plumbing, or electrical systems, not just cosmetic updates. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills is a state-licensed general contractor with nearly two decades of work across the San Fernando Valley, including Home Renovation in Tarzana. A roof replacement here runs $8,000 to $20,000. A paver patio lands at $3,500 to $11,000. A garage conversion starts around $30,000 and can reach $80,000 for a full ADU-grade buildout.
Liability That Protects You
We’re insured and bonded. If a technician gets hurt on your property or a mistake damages your home, you’re not left holding the bill. That’s part of why you hire a licensed renovation contractor instead of the lowest bid on a neighborhood app.
Trade Knowledge You Can Hear
Ask us about Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor) and you’ll get a real answer, because we install it regularly. That depth of trade knowledge is what separates a renovation contractor from someone who just coordinates phone calls.
Whole House Renovation
Whole House Renovation means taking most or all of a home down to studs and rebuilding it as a cohesive space. You need it when the systems are failing together: old wiring, failing windows, a kitchen and baths that all date from the same decade. In Woodland Hills, a whole house renovation typically starts around $45,000 for a light-touch refresh and can exceed $130,000 for a full gut with a home addition. Nearby Topanga Home Renovation projects follow similar pricing. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills phases the work so you can live in the house as long as possible, and we sequence trades to avoid the stop-and-start that makes projects drag.
Systems First, Finishes Second
Nobody sees the new electrical panel or the re-routed plumbing, but they’re why the project holds value. We inspect and upgrade the mechanical systems before closing walls. It costs more up front and saves you from opening a wall again in three years.
Brands That Carry the Load
For exteriors we lean on James Hardie siding and GAF roofing. For interiors, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry. These are manufacturer-backed products with warranties that stand behind our install. When you renovate the whole house, material choice is a ten-year decision, not a line item.
Brands We Service
We work regularly with KraftMaid cabinetry, which means we know their door profiles, hinge hardware, and install tolerances inside out. If a KraftMaid cabinet arrives with a manufacturing defect, we handle the warranty claim for you instead of handing you a phone number and walking away.
We also install Wellborn cabinets and James Hardie siding on a regular basis. Wellborn’s semi-custom line gives Woodland Hills homeowners more door styles without the full custom price. James Hardie fiber cement handles the dry Santa Ana heat and occasional heavy rain better than wood, and we know the correct gap spacing and flashing details that keep the warranty valid. Whether you have one of these brands or something else entirely, we can help.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling or walls. The stain you can see is the slow leak you can’t. If it’s a roof issue, a repair runs $400 to $1,800. If it’s plumbing, shutting off water to the whole house is a temporary fix, not a solution.
- Tile cracks that keep coming back. Cracked tile in a bathroom or kitchen floor usually means the subfloor is moving, not that the tile was bad. Covering it with a rug until it spreads under a shower pan is how small repairs become full bathroom remodels.
- Doors that stick or won’t latch. A door that suddenly sticks in a Woodland Hills home can point to foundation movement or moisture swelling, both common in this soil. It’s cheap to diagnose and expensive to ignore.
- Outlets that feel warm or smell like burning. Warm outlets are a wiring issue, not a minor nuisance. A faulty connection inside a wall is a fire hazard. Kill the circuit and call a pro before you plug anything else in.
- Windows with condensation between the panes. Failed window seals mean the insulating gas is gone and the window is doing nothing for your energy bill. In Woodland Hills summers, that shows up as a hotter house and a higher AC bill. Window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. When you call (341) 217-2776, a live person answers, takes your details, and schedules a walkthrough. No voicemail loop, no online form that goes into a void.
- 2
Free walkthrough and scope review. Luca Romano or a senior technician visits your home, measures, inspects, and asks about how you actually use the space. We look for hidden issues (subfloor condition, electrical panel capacity, plumbing access) that affect the real price.
- 3
Written estimate with line items. You get a written price with materials, labor, permits, and disposal broken out. No allowances that balloon later. The number you approve is the number you pay unless you change the scope.
- 4
Work begins with daily updates. Your technician arrives at the confirmed time, in uniform, with a live arrival link. You get before-and-after photos at every phase. If you have a question, you call the same number and talk to the same person.
- 5
Final walkthrough and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We walk the job with you, fix any punch-list items on the spot, and hand you a written guarantee covering the work for a full year. If something fails, we come back and make it right. A free second visit for the same repair is included.
How Much Does Home Renovation Cost in Woodland Hills?
A typical kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you move plumbing. Ask about our Home Renovation in Canoga Park if you’re just outside our core area. A bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000. Smaller projects cost less: a backsplash install runs $800 to $2,500, a vanity replacement $800 to $3,000. Larger structural work climbs quickly. A home addition starts at $45,000 and can reach $130,000. An ADU construction project runs $90,000 to $220,000 in most cases.
What affects the price: the age of your home (older Woodland Hills houses often have wiring and plumbing that need replacement), material choices (Cambria quartz costs more than laminate, and it should), permit fees, and whether walls come down. The biggest mistake homeowners make is approving a low quote that excludes permits or hidden conditions, then watching the price climb with change orders. Our written estimate includes what we can see and clearly states what we can’t see behind walls. If we find something, you get a written change order and you approve it before we proceed. A free estimate from Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills includes the walkthrough, the measurements, and the written price. Call (341) 217-2776 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Renovation in Woodland Hills
Home renovation is the process of updating, repairing, or reconfiguring an existing home to improve function, safety, or appearance. It differs from new construction because the work happens within existing walls and foundations. In Woodland Hills, common renovations include kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, room additions, and whole-house updates.
A small bathroom remodel in Woodland Hills typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. A full kitchen remodel runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on cabinet lead times and whether walls move. Whole house renovations can take 3 to 6 months, phased room by room. We give you a written schedule before work begins, with photo updates at each phase. Call (341) 217-2776 for a timeline based on your specific project.
Kitchen remodels run $14,000 to $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 to $28,000, and whole house renovations start around $45,000. Smaller projects like a backsplash cost $800 to $2,500. Structural additions climb from $45,000 to $130,000. The only way to know your exact number is a free walkthrough and written estimate.
Yes. We install both KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry regularly and know their product lines, hardware, and install requirements. If a cabinet arrives with a defect, we manage the manufacturer warranty claim on your behalf. We also work with Cambria, Caesarstone, Kohler, Moen, James Hardie, and GAF products.
For water damage, roof leaks, or electrical hazards, we answer the phone 24/7 and can schedule a technician quickly. We won’t promise same-day service on a full remodel, but we’ll get a real person on the line and an assessment scheduled. If there’s an active leak or safety issue, call (341) 217-2776 right now and we’ll walk through your options.
Every project comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything is not done right within a year of completion, we come back and fix it. If the same issue requires a second visit, that visit is free. Material warranties from manufacturers like James Hardie, GAF, and KraftMaid stack on top of our workmanship guarantee.
Clear the work area of personal items, secure valuables, and make a plan for pets during construction days. We’ll confirm the daily schedule before we arrive. For full kitchen remodels, plan for a temporary cooking setup (microwave and mini-fridge) for 4 to 8 weeks. We’ll walk through the specifics at your free estimate.
