Cobb County, GA
Smyrna’s general contractor
Smyrna has changed faster than most of Cobb, with substantial teardown and infill alongside surviving post-war housing.
The houses in Smyrna
Two very different jobs depending on the street. Older small houses where owners are adding on or reworking the layout, and newer construction where the work is finish-level.
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 Smyrna comfortably inside our working radius. Smyrna sits in Cobb County, and the rest of that county is on the county page.
What we do in Smyrna
Eight categories, forty-six services, all of it available here.
How we work
The idea behind the company came from what Igor Dubovoy saw at his previous employer, a remodeler pushing out about five hundred jobs a month. The faster the work moved, the worse it got. After twenty years in the trade, he founded SSRGA in 2021 to beat that kind of operation on quality instead of trying to match its volume.
There is a ceiling on how many projects we take at once, and we hit it on purpose. Volume is what Igor left behind.
How a job actually runs
First visit
Igor walks the space, asks what you actually use the room for, and gives you a straight answer about scope. Some jobs are smaller than people fear. Some are bigger. You get the real version either way.
Opening it up
The moment demo starts, the house tells you what it has been hiding. We document what we find, explain what it means for the job, and fix it properly rather than working around it.
Finishing it right
The last ten percent is where most remodels fall apart. Trim that does not quite meet, caulk lines that wander, a door that never closes square. That part gets the same attention as the framing.

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.
People tend to worry about countertop and tile prices. The decisions that really move cost are structural, like relocating a tub or taking out a wall.
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
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.
Specifying the job
Ask most people what went into their new bathroom and they will name the tile. Ask what is under it and they will not know. That hidden layer is the part that decides whether the room still holds up a decade from now.
So we specify the hidden layers to a standard and let the visible layers follow your budget. That is not a sales position, it is just where the risk actually sits.
If you have already bought materials, bring us in before installation rather than after. Some products are much harder to install well than others and it is better to know in advance.
Who you will be dealing with
You deal with the same people from the first walkthrough through the final punch list. There is no handoff from a salesperson to a project manager to a crew who have never seen the file.
Igor runs the jobs from the site. If something needs a decision, it gets made by someone standing in the room looking at the actual condition.
We keep the number of simultaneous projects deliberately low. It is the entire reason the company exists and it is not something we are planning to grow out of.
Looking after the work
A finished remodel is not maintenance free, but the list is short and most of it is easy.
In a bathroom or kitchen, the joint between materials is what moves, so its sealant is what needs checking. Siding, decks and roofing need clear drainage. Fans and anything with a filter just need cleaning.
When the work is done, we walk you through the upkeep in person. Later on, if a joint opens up or something behaves strangely, let us know and we will come look.
Where this is
Questions people ask
Will we be able to live in the house during the work?
Most families stay put during a one-room job, a bathroom or a kitchen say. When the project covers the whole house or adds major square footage, staying gets harder, and we will say so plainly before you commit.
Who is actually on site?
Our own crew and Igor in person. A big remodeling outfit sends whoever is free that week. We keep the job with the people who already know your house.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
You hear about it the day we find it, with photos and a plan. Nothing gets covered back up without you knowing what is behind it.
How long does a project like this take?
We will not give you a timeline over the phone, because the honest answer depends on what is behind the walls. Once we have walked the job, you get dates. A single bathroom tends to land in the few-weeks range, and full remodels take months.
Do you handle permits?
Permits are on us. Work that needs one gets one, including additions, structural changes and most plumbing or electrical moves, and every one of them gets inspected.
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.
