Our General Contractor team runs projects across Manor’s new subdivisions and older downtown streets, and we know what the clay soil, tight lots, and local permit office throw at you.

Why Sawyer Remodel Austin Is Manor’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Manor homeowners hire us because we treat their project like it’s on our own street. We’ve rebuilt kitchens in Presidential Meadows, leveled floors in older pier-and-beam homes near downtown, and managed additions on acreage east of 290. The feedback we hear most: the written price matched the final invoice, and the crew showed up when we said they would. That’s not luck. It’s the Relay Visibility Guarantee, live arrival time, photo updates before and after, and a written price before a single tool comes off the truck.
Luca Romano runs our Manor work personally. He’s walked enough of these lots to know which permit reviews slow a project down and which foundation issues need a look before cabinetry gets ordered. Every technician on your job is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door. And when you call, a live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loops.
We don’t ask you to trust us blindly. We ask you to check the scope, check the price, and check the guarantee. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t done right, we make it right, in writing, for a full year after close-out.
Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Manor
A construction company in Manor handles the structural and envelope work that keeps a house standing straight and dry: foundations, framing, roofing, siding, windows, and the rough-in trades that follow. Most Manor homeowners hire us when they’re buying an older home near downtown and need foundation leveling plus MEP upgrades before any cosmetic work, or when they’re adding a room to a tract home and need the addition tied into the existing slab correctly.
Foundation Evaluation First
Before we write a scope for any interior remodel on slab-on-grade construction, we check the slab. In Manor, that’s not optional. Expansive Blackland Prairie clay moves with every wet-dry cycle, and a slab that looked fine at closing can be off by an inch a year later. We flag heaving, cracking, and door binds before they turn into cracked tile and warranty callbacks.
Permit Sequence and Inspections
Manor’s building review process is straightforward if you know the sequence. Structural work needs a permit, and certain additions trigger drainage review. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and stay on the job until the inspector signs off. That sequence is part of your written quote, not a surprise line item later.
Remodeling Contractor in Manor
A remodeling contractor in Manor takes an existing space and changes how it lives: kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole-home refreshes, and garage conversions. Most Manor homeowners call us when the builder-grade finishes from the early 2000s start to fail, or when a growing family needs a second bathroom and the floor plan has to change. A full kitchen remodel in Manor typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, and a home addition starts around $45,000 and can run to $130,000 depending on scope and site access.
Kitchen and Bath Work
We quote kitchen and bath remodels with real material allowances, not blank spaces. Countertops from Cambria or Silestone, cabinetry from Wellborn, fixtures from Kohler and Moen. You pick the finishes from named brands with manufacturer backing, and the install is covered by the same written guarantee as the rest of the job.
Whole-Home and Additions
Whole-home remodels in Manor usually mean taking a three-bedroom tract home and making it work for how people actually live now: open sight lines, a primary suite, a dedicated laundry. Additions on tight lots need careful layout work so you’re not consuming the whole backyard. We handle the design coordination, the structural work, and the finish trades under one written contract.
Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
We stock and install materials Manor homeowners can actually verify. Countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Cabinetry from Wellborn. Fixtures from Kohler and Moen. These aren’t mystery-supplier products. They come with manufacturer warranties behind the install, and our crew works with them often enough to know the installation tolerances and lead times. For Manor jobs, that familiarity means fewer backorders and faster turnarounds when a stone slab or cabinet run needs to be routed to a tight street with limited staging.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Heaving slabs in Presidential Meadows. The Blackland Prairie clay under that subdivision is so active that sidewalks and driveways visibly heave. A slab that’s shifted nearly an inch will crack tile, bind doors, and throw cabinet runs out of level. We check foundation movement before we order a single finish material.
- Zero-lot-line walls and party-wall notice. New Manor subdivisions pack homes close together. If your remodel touches a shared wall, Manor’s noise and notice rules apply. Skipping the notice step has gotten contractors stop-work orders and angry neighbors on the job site. We handle notice before demo starts.
- Narrow street staging problems. Manor’s newer streets are tight. A dumpster or material stack that blocks a mailbox, driveway, or fire hydrant invites city fines and delays deliveries. We plan the staging plan before the quote, not after the crew arrives.
- Older pier-and-beam homes hiding MEP problems. The early-1900s houses near downtown Manor sit on pier-and-beam foundations that need leveling, and the electrical and plumbing often need full upgrades to meet current code. A remodel that ignores the crawlspace won’t hold up, and an inspector will flag it anyway.
Pricing for General Contractor in Manor, TX
Honest pricing means you see the ballpark before you pick up the phone. Here are the ranges we quote for the most common Manor projects:
| Project | Manor Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What moves the number within those ranges? Lot access and staging, foundation condition, fixture and finish selections, and whether we’re moving walls or plumbing. A tight Presidential Meadows lot where materials stage on the street costs more to work than a wide acreage lot east of town with a driveway turnaround. You won’t guess at any of this. We walk the site, check the slab, and write the price down before work starts. Call (409) 834-4854 for a free estimate in Manor.

FAQs About General Contractor in Manor
It means a foundation evaluation comes before any finish work. The Blackland Prairie clay under Manor swells and shrinks with moisture, and a slab that’s shifted even half an inch will crack new tile and throw cabinet lines out of level within a year. We check slab movement first, then write the scope to include any leveling or crack repair the job actually needs. That’s how you avoid warranty callbacks on a Presidential Meadows remodel. Call (409) 834-4854 and we’ll walk your slab with you.
Structural work, additions, and any change to plumbing or electrical need a permit through Manor’s building review process. Some projects trigger drainage review, especially on tight lots where setback and impervious cover rules apply. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and stay until sign-off. The permit sequence is in your written quote, not a surprise later. Call (409) 834-4854 for the exact sequence your project needs.
We give written notice to the adjoining owner before any work touches a shared wall, and we schedule noisy demo within Manor’s permitted work hours. Skipping that step gets stop-work orders, and it burns goodwill with people you live next to. We do the notice, we track the hours, and we keep you in the loop with photo updates. Call (409) 834-4854 and ask us about the party-wall sequence for your unit.
Sometimes, yes, and we’d rather tell you upfront than bury it later. If materials have to stage on the street and debris has to be walked to a trailer down the block, that labor and time is a real cost. On wider lots with driveway access, staging costs less. The site walk tells us which situation you have, and the quote reflects it in writing. Call (409) 834-4854 for a free estimate that includes the staging plan.
We keep debris contained and walked out daily, materials staged where they don’t block driveways or mailboxes, and the work area swept at the end of every day. On a tight lot in Presidential Meadows, our crew replaced a cracked kitchen subfloor and leveled cabinets while keeping materials on the street and walking every piece of debris to our trailer to avoid blocking the neighbor’s driveway. We pulled the permit, got the inspection sign-off before closing walls, and wrote the change order for additional floor leveling so the owners saw the cost before it landed. That’s the standard on every Manor job. Call (409) 834-4854 to schedule your walkthrough.
