Typical Question/ Answer: ​

​

What is design-build, and how does it benefit my project?

​

• Design-build is a streamlined approach where GoodHaus handles both design and construction under one contract, unlike traditional methods requiring separate firms. This ensures better collaboration, fewer delays, and cost savings, delivering your Atlanta renovation or addition on time and on budget. With over 75 projects completed, our team creates spaces you’ll love for years.

​

How long does a typical kitchen renovation or home addition take?

​

• A mid-grade kitchen remodel (200 sq ft) takes 4-6 weeks, while a rear addition (400-600 sq ft) may take 8-12 months, depending on scope and permitting. We provide a detailed schedule during our consultation, keeping you informed every step of the way, as we’ve done for clients across the greater Atlanta area. 

​

What is the cost of a GoodHaus project, and how do you ensure budget transparency?

​

• Costs vary by project: a mid-grade kitchen remodel starts at ~$45,000, high-end at $120,000+, and additions begin at $160,000. We use fixed-price contracts with clear contingency clauses to manage surprises, ensuring no hidden fees. Our turn-key process, backed by a 12-month warranty, guarantees budget clarity, as seen in our five-star reviews.

​

Are you licensed and insured in Georgia?

​

• Yes, GoodHaus is fully licensed and insured, protecting you and your Atlanta home. We comply with Georgia’s residential construction laws, including mandatory warranties, and handle all permitting, ensuring peace of mind from start to finish.

​

How do you handle unforeseen issues during construction?

​

• Our stipulated sum contracts include a 10-20% contingency for unexpected issues, like hidden water damage, termites or abatement issues. We issue change orders for transparency, requiring your approval before additional work. We mitigate unknowns as much as possible in advance leveraging our 13 years of Design+Build experience in the Atlanta area. This keeps your kitchen, renovation, new con or addition project on track, no matter what arises.

​

Can I see examples of your work or speak to past clients?

​

​
