Cobb County, GA
East Cobb’s general contractor
East Cobb is largely seventies through nineties subdivision housing on wooded lots, much of it original inside.
The houses in East Cobb
This is core remodeling territory: solid houses with dated kitchens, original baths, and a lot of unfinished or half-finished basement space. Popcorn ceilings and closed-off kitchens are the two things people most often want gone.
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 East Cobb comfortably inside our working radius. East Cobb sits in Cobb County, and the rest of that county is on the county page.
What we do in East Cobb
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.
The company is deliberately small. That is not a limitation we are apologizing for, it is the reason the work holds up.
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.
Where the money actually goes
Cost is the first question most people have, and it deserves a real answer. That answer comes after we have stood in the space. A phone quote would only be a guess that changes later.
The largest variable is almost always whether things move. Keeping the layout keeps the mechanical work small. Changing it means drains, vents, circuits and often framing.
Then there is what we find once the walls are open. We look at everything we can before quoting, because the walkthrough is the cheapest place to discover a problem.
Seeing more of it
We only show our own work. More of it lives in the gallery, sorted by project type, and it covers the construction stages too, so you can see what sits under the finished surfaces.
Permits and inspections
Structural changes, additions, most electrical and plumbing moves, decks and roofs all get permitted where the jurisdiction requires it. We pull them and we meet the inspectors.
Requirements vary across the six counties we work in, sometimes noticeably. What needs a permit in one jurisdiction may not in the next, and setback and zoning rules differ enough to change what is buildable on a given lot.
Unpermitted work causes problems at resale and at insurance claim time. It is not worth the saving, and a project that a contractor wants to keep off the books is telling you something.
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.
Timeline and disruption
Remodeling is disruptive, and pretending otherwise helps nobody. What we can control is whether it is predictable.
You get a schedule with real dates, the same crew throughout, and a heads up when anything shifts. Materials are ordered ahead of demolition so waiting happens before your house is open rather than during.
The site gets swept at the end of each day and dust control goes up before the work starts, not after somebody complains.
After we finish
The end of the job includes a walkthrough where we go over what was done and what it needs from you, which is usually not much.
The parts worth attention are the wet joints, the exterior drainage and anything that moves. Everything else is built to be left alone.
If something needs looking at later, call. Knowing what is behind the finish is worth something, and we do.
Where this is
Questions people ask
Will we be able to live in the house during the work?
For most single-room projects, yes. Full home remodels and larger additions are harder, and we will tell you honestly at the walkthrough whether staying is realistic.
Who is actually on site?
Igor, along with the crew that started your job. He works on site instead of managing a dozen projects from a phone, which is the whole reason the company is kept small.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
You get a call that same day, with photos. We explain what we found and how we want to handle it, and nothing gets covered up without your knowledge.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. You will not be asked to go down to the county office. When the work needs a permit, such as an addition, a structural change or most plumbing and electrical moves, we pull it and handle every inspection.
How do we get started?
Most people start with a phone call to (678) 665-7771. Some prefer the contact page. Both get you a walkthrough at no cost, and a sales pitch is not part of it.
How long does a project like this take?
It depends on scope and on what we find when we open things up. A single bathroom is usually a few weeks; a full home remodel runs months. We give you a real schedule after the walkthrough, and we tell you when it moves.
Let us come look at your East Cobb project
Call (678) 665-7771 or use the contact page and we will set a time to see the project. The walkthrough is free and Igor runs it himself, so the scope you hear about comes from the person who will be on the job. We are a small company and plan to stay one.
