Question 1

How long does a typical home remodeling project take in Marietta?

Accepted Answer

Project durations depend on scope: master bathrooms typically take 3 to 5 weeks, kitchens require 6 to 10 weeks, basement finishing takes 6 to 9 weeks, and large home additions span 12 to 20 weeks. We provide a firm schedule prior to mobilization.

Question 2

Do you handle building permits with the City of Marietta and Cobb County?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prepare and submit all architectural plans, structural engineering calculations, and trade permit applications directly to Cobb County or City of Marietta building departments, managing all required site inspections through final sign-off.

Question 3

How do you handle unexpected structural issues once demolition begins?

Accepted Answer

During our initial diagnostic inspection, we evaluate framing and mechanical systems to anticipate hidden conditions. If unforeseen structural, plumbing, or electrical issues arise behind walls, we issue a clear written change order detailing the issue, cost, and schedule impact before proceeding.

Question 4

Can we remain living in our home during the renovation?

Accepted Answer

For bathroom, basement, and most kitchen remodels, homeowners comfortably remain in their home. We install poly-wall dust barriers, floor protection, and negative air scrubbers to keep dust out of living spaces. For major whole-home additions, we review logistics during planning.

Question 5

What warranty coverage do you provide on craftsmanship?

Accepted Answer

We provide a comprehensive written craftsmanship warranty covering all structural framing, finish carpentry, tile installation, and general trades, in addition to passing through all manufacturer warranties on cabinetry, fixtures, and materials.

Question 6

How are project payments structured?

Accepted Answer

We utilize a transparent milestone-based draw schedule tied to completed physical phases—such as design completion, framing inspection, drywall completion, and final punch-list—so you never pay ahead of verified work on site.

Question 7

What specific neighborhoods in Cobb County do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve the entire Marietta area including East Cobb, West Cobb, historic Marietta Square neighborhoods, Indian Hills, Chestnut Creek, Chimney Springs, Atlanta Country Club communities, Smyrna, and Kennesaw.

Question 8

Are you insured in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we carry comprehensive general liability insurance and full workers' compensation coverage for all project personnel.

Question 9

How do we get started with an initial estimate?

Accepted Answer

You can complete our online estimate request form or call our office at (470) 847-9076 to schedule an initial in-home architectural consultation where we discuss your vision, inspect the space, and outline realistic budgets.

Question 10

What happens during the free in-home consultation?

Accepted Answer

During our initial visit, we meet with you at your home to discuss your remodeling goals, design ideas, and overall budget expectations. We perform a thorough visual inspection of the space to identify existing structural and mechanical conditions. Following our visit, we outline clear next steps and develop a tailored scope—no firm pricing or hasty quotes are given on-site.

Question 11

How do you minimize dust, noise, and disruption during construction?

Accepted Answer

We seal off active construction zones using heavy-duty poly-wall dust barriers and zipper entry systems, paired with commercial HEPA negative air scrubbers. Protective coverings are applied to all adjacent flooring and high-traffic pathways. Work hours and noisy demolition phases are strictly scheduled during standard weekday windows to respect your household routine.

Question 12

Can we make design changes once construction has started?

Accepted Answer

Yes, modifications can be accommodated as work progresses. Whenever you request a scope or material adjustment, we draft a formal written change order detailing the exact cost adjustment and schedule impact before any new work proceeds. This ensures complete transparency and prevents unexpected surprises at project completion.

Question 13

How should we prepare our home before work begins?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you clear the designated renovation area and primary access paths of all personal belongings, fragile decor, and freestanding furniture. Valuable items should be safely stored in unaffected living areas. Prior to day one, our team will review designated parking, staging areas, and daily access codes with you to ensure a seamless start.

Question 14

What happens after the project is complete?

Accepted Answer

We conduct a thorough final walkthrough together to inspect every detail and compile any minor punch-list items for immediate resolution. Once signed off, we present your complete closeout package, including care and maintenance guidelines, our written craftsmanship warranty documentation, and manufacturer warranty booklets for all newly installed fixtures and appliances.
