Toto Construction in Plantation, FL | Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale
We’re Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale, an independent Toto service provider working throughout Plantation’s homes and condos. Need a Toto Drake II swapped, a Neorest installed, or a full bathroom remodel built around Toto fixtures? Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts. What makes our Toto work different here is simple: we know Plantation’s older CBS houses, their slab plumbing, and the city’s tree ordinance inside out. That local knowledge changes how a Toto job gets done correctly the first time.
Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for Toto Service
Most plumbers can set a toilet. Fewer understand why a Toto Drake II behaves differently in a 1968 Plantation rancher than it does in a 2005 townhome down the street. Our crew has been inside hundreds of these homes across Plantation as our General Contractor in Plantation, and we’ve seen the patterns: cast iron waste lines corroding under slabs, hard water deposits building up inside fill valves, and the occasional wall that hides a surprise. Luca Romano, our owner, trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College reading structural plans and has spent years problem-solving tight older builds across South Florida. He’s the one who’ll likely answer the phone when you call. That sets the tone for how we work: direct, clear, and nobody disappears mid-project. We use genuine Toto parts for internal components because aftermarket kits often fail within a year under Plantation’s water chemistry. For trim and supply lines, we’ll use quality aftermarket when it matches spec, and we’ll tell you straight when replacing makes more sense than repairing.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family operating under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a live arrival time, before-and-after photo updates, and a written price before a single tool is picked up. You know who’s coming, when they’ll arrive, and what it costs. That’s the standard, every job, no exceptions.

Common Toto Construction Problems We Solve in Plantation
- Ghost flushing on the Drake II (CST454CEFG) – a flapper that doesn’t seat right lets water leak from tank to bowl, triggering random refills. In Plantation’s older homes, this often pairs with a rusted cast iron flange under the slab. We replace both, not just the obvious part.
- Slow refill or weak flush on the Ultramax II (MS604114CEFG) – hard water scale builds up on the TSU99A.X fill valve, restricting flow. This shows up often in Plantation because the city’s water has enough mineral content to coat internals over time. We swap in a genuine valve and set the water level correctly.
- Neorest (MS990CG) installation in older bathrooms – these integrated units need a properly spaced rough-in and a dedicated circuit. In 1960s-1980s Plantation homes, the old 60-amp panels rarely have room without a subpanel. We plan for that before you buy the unit.
- CeFiONtect glaze staining – Toto’s slick glaze helps, but Plantation’s hard water still leaves mineral rings if you’re not cleaning with the right products. We walk through what actually works on these surfaces during every install.
- Corroded supply lines to Toto toilets – high humidity and occasional slab moisture in Plantation’s ground-floor bathrooms eat cheap supply hoses. We use braided stainless lines rated for South Florida conditions on every Toto replacement.
Toto Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something that separates a Plantation Toto job from the same job in Sunrise or Davie. Plantation’s tree preservation ordinance requires permits and mitigation for removing or heavily pruning protected trees on private property. That sounds like a landscaping issue until you’re swapping a Toto toilet in a Plantation Isles rancher and the city tells you the dumpster can’t sit within a certain distance of a 24-inch live oak. Our tech ran into exactly this recently on a job off Broward Boulevard. The bathroom reno was delayed two days while the permit cleared. Once approved, we found the cast iron closet flange rusted paper-thin and the old wax ring gone, so we replaced the flange, set a new genuine Toto flapper and fill valve, and rebuilt the floor before resetting the toilet. No more ghost flushes, no more slab moisture. If you’re planning a Toto shower swap or full Bathroom Remodeling - Plantation in Plantation, we check the tree situation before the fixture even arrives. It saves you the surprise.
Toto Models & Products We Service in Plantation
We service the full range of Toto fixtures found in Plantation homes, from the workhorse Drake II and Ultramax II to the higher-end Neorest line and the classic Promenade (CST424SF). We stock genuine Toto internals locally, including the TSU99A.X fill valve and THU331 flapper, so turnaround on common repairs is fast. If a bowl is cracked, we’ll tell you to consider a swap from our Toto sales & service selection rather than patching porcelain that’ll fail again. Our independence means we’re not pushing a manufacturer’s script. If a Toto part is the right call, we use it. If an aftermarket trim piece does the job at half the price, we’ll say so.

FAQs – Toto Construction in Plantation
Why does my Toto Drake II keep running intermittently even after I replaced the flapper?
Because the flapper often isn’t the root cause in Plantation homes. The fill valve is likely scaled up from hard water, or the flush valve seat has mineral deposits preventing a clean seal. Sometimes the real culprit is a rusted flange letting the toilet rock slightly, breaking the seal at the base. We diagnose the whole system, not just the part that’s easiest to swap. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll pinpoint it fast.
Can you install a Toto Neorest in a 1960s Plantation bathroom without major plumbing changes?
Maybe, but likely not without electrical work. The Neorest needs a dedicated GFCI circuit, and many 1960s Plantation homes still run on original 60-amp panels that can’t absorb that load. The water supply usually works with the existing rough-in, but we’ll confirm the panel situation before you order the unit. A subpanel addition is sometimes the difference between a straightforward install and a two-day electrical job.
Do I need a tree permit just to have a Toto shower pan delivered to my house?
Possibly, if the delivery truck or our dumpster needs to sit near a protected tree while unloading. Plantation’s tree ordinance applies to placement on your property, not just tree removal. We check this before scheduling delivery for any Toto remodel. It’s saved our clients days of delay. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll check your property for you.
Is it worth repairing a cracked Toto Ultramax II bowl from a 1980s condo, or should I replace it?
Replace it. Porcelain cracks don’t get better, and a cracked bowl can leak into the unit below you. In a 1980s Plantation condo, the bigger question is whether the flange and shutoff valve are still good while you’re already in there. We’ll replace the toilet and assess those at the same time, which is cheaper than making it a second visit.
How do you keep Toto CeFiONtect glaze from staining in Plantation’s hard water?
The glaze resists buildup, but it doesn’t make minerals disappear. Use a mild liquid cleaner without abrasives on a weekly schedule. Skip the pumice stones and bleach tablets in the tank, which can degrade internal seals. If you’re already seeing staining, we’ll descale the bowl and check the water level. A quick call to (754) 354-7423 gets you sorted.
