Service Area · East Atlanta Village, Atlanta
East Atlanta Village is where we are based.
Our shop is in 30316. Most weeks we are working within a few miles of it, which is why these jobs run smoother than the ones across town.
The Housing Stock
A mix, and a lot of houses that have already been renovated once.
East Atlanta Village is less uniform than Grant Park or Kirkwood. There are 1920s bungalows, post-war cottages, and infill that went up much later, sometimes on the same block. There is also far less historic district constraint, which means more freedom to change the exterior, add on, or reconfigure.
The thing that comes up most often here is not an untouched original house. It is a house that was flipped or partially renovated in the last fifteen or twenty years, and some of it was done badly. A shower pan that was never waterproofed properly. Tile set over the wrong substrate. A wall opened up without anything carrying the load above it.
That work is our favorite kind, and not for sentimental reasons. Mike started in construction as a warranty tech, which is the person a builder sends back after the job is done to fix whatever failed. He spent years looking at the inside of other people's shortcuts. He knows where to look.
Before We Quote
What we check before quoting an East Atlanta house.
Whether the last renovation was permitted
A previous owner's unpermitted work becomes your problem when you go to sell, and occasionally when you go to add to it. We flag what we find rather than quietly building on top of it.
Shower waterproofing
If there is a tiled shower from a previous renovation, we want to know how it was built. This is the single most common expensive failure in a remodeled bathroom and it is invisible until it is not.
Load paths through opened walls
Where a wall has already been removed, we check what is carrying the weight. Sometimes the answer is nothing in particular, and that has to be corrected before anything else happens.
Mixed-era systems
A house with original 1930s framing, 1990s plumbing and 2015 electrical needs all three understood before we commit to a price.
What It Costs
Real numbers, not a range we made up.
Every estimate we write is itemized line by line, with the material and the labor broken out separately, so you can see what you are paying for and tell us to cut something if you want it cut.
As an example of the scale: a laundry and mudroom conversion we priced in spring 2026 came to just under $20,000. That covered framing and a new opening, plumbing and electrical runs, a dryer vent, drywall, hardwood, built-in carpentry, a butler pantry, paint, and $2,150 of plans and permit fees. Bathrooms generally start around $20,000 and decks around $7,500.
Run your own numbers on the estimator, or send us your project and Mike will come look at it himself and write the estimate personally.
Questions
Remodeling in East Atlanta Village.
Do you work in East Atlanta a lot?
It is where we are based and where most of our work is. Our address is in 30316. Practically, that means shorter drives, faster trips back for the thing nobody anticipated, and a crew that is not fighting cross-town traffic twice a day.
Can you fix a renovation somebody else did wrong?
Yes, and we do it often. We will tell you honestly what has to be torn back out and what can stay, including when the honest answer is more expensive than you were hoping.
Is there less red tape here than in Grant Park?
On exteriors, usually yes, because much of East Atlanta is not inside a designated historic district. Permits still apply to the work itself. Which rules reach your specific address is worth confirming before you plan an addition.
