Gwinnett County, GA
Duluth’s general contractor
Duluth mixes an older town center with extensive newer neighborhoods.
The houses in Duluth
Mostly houses twenty to forty years old. Kitchens and baths dominate the work, along with basement finishing in the neighborhoods built on sloping lots.
Gwinnett has some of the widest range in the metro, from seventies ranches to recent construction. The ranches in particular respond well to opening up a wall or two.
We are based in Roswell, which puts Duluth comfortably inside our working radius. Duluth sits in Gwinnett County, and the rest of that county is on the county page.
What we do in Duluth
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Specifying the job
Homeowners spend a lot of time choosing tile and fixtures. The products that decide how long a remodel lasts are the ones underneath, the underlayment and the waterproofing, and almost nobody asks about those.
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.
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.
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.
Keeping it right afterward
Most of what shortens the life of a remodel is small and preventable. Caulk lines that were never resealed, a bath fan that does not actually vent outside, gutters that overflow against a wall for 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.
Notice something off with work we did? Give us a call. Nobody understands how it went together better than we do, so we are the right people to look at it.
Where this is
Questions people ask
How do we get started?
Reach us at (678) 665-7771 or through the contact page. We will find a time to see the space in person. There is no charge for that visit and nobody will lean on you to sign.
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.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
You find out that day. Old houses hide things, and when we open a wall and find one, we send pictures and tell you what we recommend before any work continues on it.
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?
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.
