Gwinnett County, GA
Norcross’s general contractor
Norcross has a genuinely historic downtown surrounded by decades of residential growth.
The houses in Norcross
Near downtown the houses are old enough to need matched trim and careful work around plaster. Further out it is seventies through nineties subdivision housing with original finishes.
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 Norcross comfortably inside our working radius. Norcross sits in Gwinnett County, and the rest of that county is on the county page.
What we do in Norcross
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.
If you want to control cost, focus on the layout. Keeping fixtures in place and the footprint the same saves far more than picking a cheaper finish ever will.
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
If you want to see how we handle the messy middle of a job, the gallery is the place. It is organized by kind of work and shows construction stages along with finished results, all from our own projects.
The permitting side
We handle permits and inspections as part of the job rather than treating them as your problem.
The rules here are not uniform. Six counties means six sets of requirements, and on top of that individual cities within them have their own. We work out what applies before design gets far.
Inspections are useful. They catch exactly the details that cause failures later, and an inspector looking at a ledger connection or a rough electrical run is a second set of eyes we are happy to have.
Working with a small shop
At a large company your questions pass through an office before they reach anyone holding a tool. Here they go to Igor, who is on site and knows the answer because he is doing the work.
Being small also caps how many jobs we run at the same time. If our schedule is full, you will hear that from us along with an honest start date, and we will not sign your project just to let it sit until a crew opens up.
The crew that starts your project finishes it. That continuity matters more than most people expect on work that runs for weeks.
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.
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
What happens if you find something unexpected?
We stop and show you, the same day, with photos and our plan for fixing it. Nothing goes back behind drywall until you know what is there.
Do you handle permits?
We do. Anything that changes structure, adds space or moves most plumbing and electrical needs a permit, and we take care of the application and the inspections so you do not have to.
Will we be able to live in the house during the work?
It depends on how much of the house is torn open at once. One room at a time, yes in most cases. For full remodels and larger additions, we talk it through honestly at the walkthrough.
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.
Who is actually on site?
The same crew, and Igor is on the job rather than running it from a truck somewhere else. That is the difference a smaller shop can offer.
How long does a project like this take?
Longer than the TV shows suggest, and shorter than most people fear once it is planned properly. A bathroom generally runs a few weeks. A whole-house remodel runs months. After Igor sees the space you get an actual schedule, and you hear from us the moment anything pushes it.
Let us come look at your Norcross project
The first step is a conversation at your house. Book it at (678) 665-7771 or through the contact page. Igor will look at what you have and talk through what you want, then give you an honest sense of the scope. We keep the workload small enough that he can be on site for all of it.
