Cobb County, GA
Mableton’s general contractor
Mableton in south Cobb has older, smaller housing stock and a lot of renovation activity.
The houses in Mableton
Post-war ranches and small two-story houses, frequently with original systems. The work usually starts with electrical and plumbing corrections before anything visible happens.
Cobb is mostly eighties and nineties construction with a lot of original bathrooms and kitchens still in place. Those houses tend to have good bones and finishes that are now well past their service life.
We are based in Roswell, which puts Mableton comfortably inside our working radius. Mableton sits in Cobb County, and the rest of that county is on the county page.
What we do in Mableton
Eight categories, forty-six services, all of it available here.
How we work
Before 2021, Igor Dubovoy worked for a company doing something like five hundred remodels a month. Twenty years in the trade had taught him what good work looks like, and that was not it. He started SSRGA to prove a smaller shop can outbuild a bigger one when it is not chasing throughput.
We are not the biggest shop in the north metro and have no interest in being. Fewer jobs at a time is the whole point.
How a job actually runs
We walk the space with you
Igor comes out, looks at what is actually there, and talks through what you want. No sales pitch, no pressure to decide that day. You get a straight read on what the job involves and what it will take.
We open it up and deal with what we find
Demolition tells the truth about a house. Rot, bad framing, plumbing someone improvised in 1985. We show you what turns up and how we plan to handle it before we cover any of it back up.
We build it and keep you in the loop
You know who is coming and when. The site gets cleaned at the end of the day. If something changes, you hear it from us before you notice it yourself.

Every city we cover is on the service areas page.
How scope drives cost
Two versions of the same project can differ enormously depending on choices that have nothing to do with what you can see at the end.
The big costs come from moving fixtures, altering structure or adding square footage. Finish choices count too, just much less than most people expect.
We will lay out where those decision points are for your project, including where spending more genuinely buys you something and where it does not.
Seeing more of it
For a closer look at what we build, the gallery sorts our photos by category, and it includes the half-finished stages, because what goes in before the finish is what you are really paying for.
What it is like to have us here
Predictable hours, the same faces, and a site that gets cleaned before we leave. Floor protection and dust barriers go in before work starts.
You will know who is coming and roughly when. If a subcontractor is on site for a day, you will know that in advance too.
Questions get answered directly. There is no chain of communication to work through, because the person doing the work is the person you have been talking to since the walkthrough.
What we specify and why
Material choice is where a lot of remodeling money gets wasted, in both directions. Paying for the top of a product line rarely doubles its life, and buying the cheapest version of something structural almost always costs more within a decade.
Our general rule is to spend on the things that are expensive to replace and moderate on the things that are easy. Substrate, waterproofing, framing hardware and anything buried gets the good version, because reaching it again means demolition. Fixtures, finishes and hardware are swappable later, so those follow your budget and your taste rather than ours.
We will tell you where a cheaper option is genuinely fine. There are plenty of places in a house where the mid-grade product and the premium one come off the same line.
What the schedule actually looks like
We give you a real schedule after the walkthrough, and we tell you when it moves. Most schedule slippage in remodeling comes from two places: material lead times and things found during demolition.
Lead times we manage by ordering early. Cabinets, windows, specialty tile and anything custom gets ordered before demolition where the sequence allows, so you are not living in a half-finished room waiting on a delivery.
Discovery we manage by budgeting time for it. On any house over about twenty years old, something turns up. Planning as though nothing will is how projects end up months late with everyone frustrated.
Looking after the work
A finished remodel is not maintenance free, but the list is short and most of it is easy.
Check the caulk in showers and around tubs now and then, since that joint flexes more than anything else in the room. Outside, keep gutters and drains clear. Clean filters and vents on anything mechanical.
You get that list from us at handover, specific to your project. If you notice a problem down the road, tell us about it. Living with it is the last thing we want for you.
Where this is
Questions people ask
Do you handle permits?
Yes, on the work that needs them. Structural changes, additions, most electrical and plumbing moves all get pulled and inspected. We handle the paperwork and the inspections.
Who is actually on site?
You will see the same faces from the first day to the last. Igor is there on the job himself, so the person who planned the work is the one checking it.
Will we be able to live in the house during the work?
Usually, if the work is limited to one room. Whole-house remodels and big additions are a different story, and Igor will give you a straight answer at the walkthrough about whether moving out makes sense.
How long does a project like this take?
The part that stretches a schedule is usually hidden: rot under a tub, old wiring, framing that was never right. That is why the timeline comes after the walkthrough, and why we tell you right away if something we uncover changes it. Bathrooms are typically a few weeks, whole homes several months.
How do we get started?
A walkthrough at your house is the first step, and it is free. Book it by calling (678) 665-7771 or through the contact page. You owe us nothing after it.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
It happens, especially in older homes. When it does, you get photos and a plan from us the day we find it, and the wall stays open until you know what is behind it.
Let us come look at your Mableton project
Set up a walkthrough by calling (678) 665-7771 or through the contact page. Igor will come to the house, hear what you want, and tell you honestly what the scope is. We run fewer jobs than the big remodelers in the north metro do, and we like it that way, because it keeps him on every one of them.
