Remodeling Company in Manor, TX
Most remodeling work in Manor happens in homes built after 2000, which means slab-on-grade foundations on Blackland Prairie clay and construction that was often rushed to keep up with demand. That creates a specific set of problems: settling slabs, cracked drywall, and drainage issues that generic contractors miss. We’re Sawyer Remodeling, and we do bathroom remodeling, general contracting, and whole-home renovation across Manor with pricing in writing before work starts. Call (409) 834-4854 to get a free estimate.
Why Manor Homes Are Different
Manor’s growth from a quiet railroad town into one of the fastest-growing suburbs east of Austin has left homeowners with a mixed bag of construction quality. The dominant housing stock is new single-family tract homes, where builders optimized for speed. We regularly see tile laid directly over poorly cured concrete, undersized HVAC returns, and kitchen cabinets that were never shimmed properly. None of it shows up on an inspection report, but it shows up within three years.
The soil is the bigger story. Manor sits on expansive clay that swells in spring rains and shrinks during summer drought. That movement cracks slabs, pops tile, and jams doors. In Presidential Meadows, we see heaving sidewalks and driveways more than anywhere else in town because the clay there is exceptionally active. Any remodel that touches flooring, tile, or foundation-adjacent work has to account for it.
Older homes near downtown Manor are a different animal entirely: pier-and-beam construction from the early 1900s that often needs foundation leveling, new electrical panels, and plumbing supply lines replaced. We approach those jobs knowing the walls have shifted and the floors aren’t level, so the scope gets written accordingly.

Our Main Manor Services
These are the three services Manor homeowners call about most. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, timelines, and what to expect.
General Contractor in Manor
Acting as the general contractor means coordinating every trade, pulling permits through the City of Manor, and keeping the schedule honest. For Manor homes, that often means managing foundation repair ahead of a kitchen or bath remodel, because fixing drywall over a moving slab is wasted money. We write the scope, hold the subs to it, and keep you updated with photo updates and a written price before anything starts. General Contractor in Manor covers how we run a typical job.
Bathroom Remodeling in Manor
Bathrooms in Manor’s tract homes tend to be small, contractor-grade, and built fast. The most common calls are tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in shower installations, and full bathroom remodels in older homes where the subfloor has water damage from years of slow leaks. We check for moisture intrusion before we quote, because discovering rot mid-project is how budgets get blown. Bathroom Remodeling in Manor has the full pricing breakdown.
Home Renovation in Manor
Whole-home renovations in Manor split into two buckets: updating 2000s-era tract homes that were built to a price point, and gutting the early-1900s pier-and-beam houses near downtown. The former usually means redoing kitchens, baths, flooring, and paint with better materials. The latter often includes rewiring, repiping, and insulating after the walls are open. Either way, you get a fixed written price and a single point of contact. Home Renovation in Manor walks through the process.
