Remodeling in Cumming, From a Crew About 25 Minutes Away

Cumming is the Forsyth County seat, and the neighborhoods between GA-400 and Lake Lanier are full of houses built in the same decade and now due for the same kitchen: closed off from the family room, short on storage, or simply dated, in a home the family has no plans to leave.

Many Cumming subdivisions were built out with the same few floor plans, so their kitchens tend to share the same problems: an island that's too small, a pantry that's really a closet, and a wall between the kitchen and the family room. Fixing that usually means rethinking the layout, not just replacing the cabinets, so the walkthrough starts with how your family actually uses the room. Basements and decks come next, especially on lots that slope toward the back.

We're based in Milton, so Cumming is a straight run up GA-400, about twenty-five minutes for most of it. That's close enough to be there every morning the project is running.

Bathrooms, Kitchens, Decks and Patios in Cumming

Bathroom Remodeling in Cumming

Cumming bathrooms tend to follow the same subdivision plans as the kitchens: a primary bath with a garden tub under the window, a small shower stall beside it, and a vanity that runs out of counter space by eight in the morning. Taking out the tub and giving the room one large walk-in shower does the most for a bathroom like this, followed by a longer vanity with drawers.

Upstairs, the hall bath usually wants new tile on a solid subfloor and an exhaust fan that vents outside instead of into the attic. Plan on two to three weeks on site for a hall bath, three to five for a primary bath where the layout changes.

The walkthrough settles what stays and what goes: whether the wall to the family room can open, whether the pantry can grow into the laundry room or mudroom behind it, and whether the sink can move to an island. Cabinets, counters and lighting are chosen with you after that, and because cabinet lead times usually set the start date, the schedule is built around the order date instead of a guess.

Deck Building in Cumming

A deck in Cumming starts with the permit question, because most Cumming addresses are in unincorporated Forsyth County and a few are inside the city. Building or repairing a deck needs a permit either way; we find out which office issues yours before the schedule is set.

Composite costs more up front and needs little more than a wash each year. Pressure-treated wood costs less and needs sealing every couple of years. Covered and screened porches tie into the roofline so they look like part of the house.

Hardscaping in Cumming

On a lot that slopes toward the back, hardscaping turns the yard into somewhere to sit: a paver patio at the bottom of the deck stairs, a retaining wall that levels a section of lawn, or steps down the side of the house. Walls get drainage stone and a pipe behind them so water doesn't push them over, and patios go on a compacted base so they stay flat through a Georgia summer.

  2. 02

    A Walkthrough at Your Cumming Home

    We walk the space with you, take measurements, and talk through how the work would run and how long it takes.

  3. 03

    A Written Quote, Then a Start Date

    What's included and what it costs, in writing, before anything is scheduled. Changes are priced and approved by you first.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Remodeling in Cumming

Do you work all over Cumming?

Yes. The city itself and the south Forsyth neighborhoods along GA-400, Peachtree Parkway and toward Lake Lanier. If you're farther north, call and we'll tell you honestly whether it's too far.

Who handles permits for a remodel in Cumming?

We coordinate it. The City of Cumming itself is small, and most homes with a Cumming mailing address are in unincorporated Forsyth County, so their permits go through the county. We check which one applies to your address first. Moving walls, plumbing or electrical typically needs one.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most kitchens take four to eight weeks on site once materials have arrived. The schedule we give you includes cabinet lead times.

Can we live at home during a kitchen remodel?

Almost everyone does. We seal off the work area and set up a temporary kitchen corner so you can keep cooking the basics.

Do you do basements and decks in Cumming too?

Yes. Kitchens come first on this page, but bathrooms, basements, decks, hardscaping and additions are all part of the work we do here.

Do you build decks on sloped lots?

Yes. Plenty of lots around Cumming drop toward the back, which means taller posts, deeper footings and sometimes a patio under the deck. If the basement under the deck walks out to the yard, it can often be finished in the same project. All of that is spelled out in the written quote.

Does a deck in Cumming need a permit?

Yes. In unincorporated Forsyth County, where most Cumming addresses are, building or repairing a deck needs a county building permit. Inside the City of Cumming, plans are approved before a permit is issued, and they have to carry the seal of a Georgia registered architect or structural engineer. We check which one applies to your address first.

How do I get started?

  • Mac Rafeedie

    Roger Alve’s company recently completed a deck renovation on our home in Chastain Park. The original deck was only 10 years old, but the deck boards, joists and pergola had deteriorated and needed replacement.

    The joists that rotted were replaced and the pressure treated decking was replaced with composite material. Although the basic design was retained, the renovation turned out better than the original.

    Additionally, an inoperative hot tub was removed and replaced with a fire pit and seating area. The pergola was repaired and enhanced to hold up better to the elements. Roger was great to work with.

    His crew started within a couple days of contact execution. Project was completed on time, with only minor change orders. I interviewed 4 firms for the renovation. 2 were national franchisees and 2 were local contractors.

    Roger’s bid was essentially the same as the other local contractor, but went with him due to the strong references he was able to provide. Roger’s company does much more than decks, he is a full service residential contractor.

    I would not hesitate to recommend him.

  • Lisa May

    We had a great experience with Roger and his crew. They completed several projects at our house, including a staircase fix and refresh, painting and carpeting, and a basement room renovation.

    Roger was very responsive with estimates and answering questions and his crew were very courteous, timely, and produced good work. The projects were all completed quickly and with limited disruption and mess in our house.

    They were flexible and able to accommodate a few additional projects we requested while they were working at our house. We were pleased with the experience and final product.

  • Natasha Hunerlach

    I had an outstanding experience with Roger and his team.

    The quality of work was excellent from start to finish, and when the inevitable hiccups of a remodel arose—or when my vision didn’t initially materialize exactly as intended—he addressed everything promptly and professionally, with full respect for my role as the decision-maker.

    At no point did a man need to be involved to negotiate or manage attitudes; Roger worked directly and collaboratively with me, valuing my expertise and design vision throughout the process. His dedication, craftsmanship, and commitment to getting it are a blessing.
