Sandy Springs Remodeling & Design-Build
From the wooded estates along Riverside to the classic ranches of the Dunwoody Panhandle, we help Sandy Springs homeowners transform the homes they already love into spaces that fit how they live today.
There’s a certain kind of Sandy Springs home that homeowners fall in love with and never want to leave: a brick traditional on a wooded lot off Riverside Drive, a mid-century ranch in Mountaire Springs that’s ready for a second life, a stately home near City Springs that deserves finishes worthy of the neighborhood. At GreatHouse, we help Sandy Springs families stay in the homes and streets they love while transforming how those homes live.
We’re a premium residential design-build firm, family-owned and operated, serving Sandy Springs and the greater north Atlanta area since 2003. Because design and construction live under one roof here, the people who dream up your space are the same team accountable for building it, which means clearer communication, fewer surprises, and a finished home that matches the plan you fell in love with. From luxury kitchen renovations to spa-inspired primary baths, thoughtful additions, and full whole-home transformations, every GreatHouse project is built around the way your family actually lives.

Why Sandy Springs Homeowners Choose GreatHouse
For more than 20 years, we’ve delivered premium renovations that elevate both style and function across north Atlanta. Here’s what sets the GreatHouse experience apart:
A true design-build partner
Designers, project managers, and skilled trades work as one team. You get one accountable partner from first sketch to final walk-through, not a designer pointing at a builder pointing back.
Local expertise that matters
We know Sandy Springs housing stock (the 1960s–’80s traditionals and ranches, the river-corridor lots, the newer luxury infill near the Perimeter), and we know how to permit and build cleanly within Fulton County and the City of Sandy Springs.
Exemplary communication
We over-communicate on purpose. Through your JobTread client portal, you’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and where your investment is going.
Credentials you can trust
GreatHouse is licensed and insured, a BBB-Accredited Business with an A+ rating, and a member of NARI (the National Association of the Remodeling Industry) and Remodelers Advantage. Our team includes NAHB Certified Master Remodeling and Aging-in-Place specialists.
Sandy Springs Remodeling Services
We offer full design-build remodeling for every part of your Sandy Springs home.
From hall baths to spa-inspired primary suites with frameless glass, natural stone, and heated floors, we create bathrooms that blend comfort, function, and lasting style.
Love your neighborhood but need more room? We design seamless additions, main-level primary suites, expanded kitchens, in-law and multi-generational suites, that look like they were always part of the home.
For homes that need both aesthetic and structural updates, our whole-home renovations reimagine flow, light, and livability from top to bottom while preserving the character you love.
Turn an unfinished or dated basement into a home gym, theater, guest suite, or multi-generational living space that adds real square footage and value.
Make the most of Georgia’s long, mild seasons with screened porches, covered patios, and outdoor kitchens designed for relaxing and entertaining.
