DeKalb County, GA
Clarkston’s general contractor
Clarkston is compact and has an older, modest housing stock.
The houses in Clarkston
Small post-war houses and some manufactured housing. Work is generally about function and condition rather than finish level, and we handle both.
Inside the perimeter the houses are older and smaller, and the work is usually about making an existing footprint function better rather than adding to it.
We are based in Roswell, which puts Clarkston comfortably inside our working radius. Clarkston sits in DeKalb County, and the rest of that county is on the county page.
What we do in Clarkston
Eight categories, forty-six services, all of it available here.
How we work
SSRGA exists because of something Igor Dubovoy watched happen. He had been in the trade twenty years, most recently at an outfit turning out roughly five hundred remodels a month, and quality slid as the volume climbed. In 2021 he left to build a smaller shop that could beat that operation on the work itself.
You will deal with the same people from the walkthrough through the final punch list. On a job this disruptive, that matters more than most people expect.
How a job actually runs
A walkthrough, not a sales call
We start by looking at the space together. You tell us what is bothering you about it and what you want instead; we tell you what is realistic, what it takes, and where the money actually goes.
Demo, then an honest conversation
Once things are open we can see the framing, the substrate and whatever the last crew left behind. Anything we find gets shown to you with a plan attached, not buried under new drywall.
The build, run on a schedule you can see
Same crew, predictable days, the space swept before we leave. Remodeling is disruptive enough without wondering whether anyone is showing up.

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.
Relocating fixtures, changing structure and expanding footprint are the expensive decisions. Material and finish selections matter, but they move the number far less than people assume.
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
Nothing here is stock photography. These are SSRGA projects, and the gallery holds many more, grouped by type of work, with the in-progress shots included next to the finished rooms.
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.
How we think about materials
There is a version of every product at three price points and the differences are not always where the marketing says. Some of it is genuine performance and some of it is finish options.
If it gets covered, we specify it carefully. A cheap membrane under a shower floor is a problem that waits years to show itself, then costs a full tear-out. A towel bar is a choice you can change whenever you want.
That means we sometimes talk clients out of upgrades. If a mid-range fixture performs the same as the expensive one, we would rather that money went into the part of the job nobody sees.
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.
Keeping it right afterward
Daily wear is rarely what ruins good work. Moisture is. Old caulk that cracks and a fan that only pushes air into the ceiling are both small things, and both add up over a decade.
We walk you through what your specific project needs and how often. Some of it is annual, some of it is once every several years, and most of it takes minutes.
If something we built is not behaving the way it should, call us. We would rather look at it than have you live with it or have somebody else guess at what we did.
Where this is
Questions people ask
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.
Who is actually on site?
The people you met at the walkthrough. Igor stays hands-on, so when you have a question at the job site, the answer comes from someone holding the tools.
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.
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 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?
Plan on a few weeks for one bathroom and months for a full home remodel. Inside those ranges, the calendar depends on how much is changing and what condition the house is in. You get a schedule from us after the walkthrough, and an update whenever it shifts.
Let us come look at your Clarkston project
A phone call to (678) 665-7771 is the quickest way in, or send a message through the contact page. Igor comes to the house himself. He will talk through layout and finishes with you and tell you straight what the job involves. You will not be handed off to a new team halfway through, which counts for a lot when your bathroom is out of service.
