Remodeling and custom building in Acworth, Georgia

Acworth work splits along the same line as the town. Near downtown and Lake Acworth, houses are older, lots are tighter, and a remodel usually means reworking rooms that were laid out for a different way of living. Out toward Lake Allatoona and in the subdivisions along the Cobb–Cherokee edge, most houses date from the 1980s to the 2000s, and they share a short list of problems: a closed galley kitchen, a soffit full of old ductwork, a deck that was added cheaply, and a basement nobody ever finished.

Water comes first here

Being near a lake means humidity, and many Acworth lots slope toward the house. A basement that looks dry in March can run damp all August. Before we talk about flooring or layout, we look at grading, gutters and downspouts, seepage at the footing, and how humid the space gets in summer. If that problem is not solved first, a finished basement becomes a mold problem, and we will not frame over it.

The jobs we do most in Acworth

• Taking out the wall between kitchen and family room, and the soffit with it
• Finishing a walkout or daylight basement into a guest suite with a bath
• Rebuilding decks with a ledger that is flashed into the house instead of rotting the rim joist
• Converting a dated tub-and-shower combination into a properly waterproofed walk-in shower

City, county, or the other county

An Acworth mailing address can fall inside city limits, in unincorporated Cobb County, or across the line in Cherokee County. Each has its own permit office and inspection schedule. We sort that out before pricing, not after the dumpster arrives.
