General Contractor in Vinings, GA
Since 1995, Glazer Design & Construction has served Vinings homeowners and businesses as a licensed general contractor, managing home renovations, kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, and commercial build-outs from permit to final walkthrough.
Licensed General Contractor Serving Vinings, GA Since 1995
Glazer Design & Construction is a licensed general contractor with active project experience across one of Cobb County’s most distinctive unincorporated communities. Vinings is not an incorporated city, which means permits and inspections for Vinings properties are handled through Cobb County’s Building and Plan Review Department rather than a city permit office. That distinction matters: contractors who are not familiar with the Cobb County process or who assume Vinings falls under Atlanta’s jurisdiction create permitting delays before a project starts. Glazer has been working in Vinings and surrounding Cobb County since 1995 and submits permits to the correct office from the start.
Glazer is registered with the Georgia Secretary of State (Control No. 0330108, Active/Compliance) and fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial construction in Georgia. Vinings’ unincorporated status means all permit applications, plan reviews, and inspections run through Cobb County’s Building and Plan Review Department. Glazer manages that process on your behalf from permit submission through final inspection.
Every Vinings project Glazer manages is run under a written contract with a named project manager on-site, permits pulled by our team, a milestone-based payment schedule, and a final walkthrough before the project is closed out.
General Contracting Services in Vinings, GA
Home Renovation in Vinings, GA
Home renovation in Vinings, GA draws from a housing stock that dates to the 1830s in the community’s oldest sections and extends through substantial construction from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s in neighborhoods closer to Cumberland and the Cobb Galleria area. The older homes near the historic Vinings core provide genuine renovation opportunities: well-built structures with strong bones, established lots with mature landscaping, and interiors that benefit significantly from a modern update. Glazer regularly handles whole-home renovation projects in Vinings that preserve the historical feel of the property while bringing the systems, layout, and finishes to current standards.
Home renovation in Vinings, GA handled by Glazer includes whole-home interior remodels, floor plan changes and wall removals, hardwood floor refinishing and installation, interior painting and millwork upgrades, basement finishing, home additions, outdoor living spaces, screened porches, and exterior upgrades. For projects involving structural changes, all work is permitted through Cobb County’s Building and Plan Review Department and inspected at every required stage.
Vinings’ proximity to Buckhead across the Chattahoochee River and its position as an unincorporated Cobb County community give it a unique character: intown feel with suburban lot sizes in many sections. That character attracts homeowners who want the investment value of a well-renovated property in a community with long-term desirability. Glazer approaches Vinings renovation projects with that context in mind.
Kitchen Renovation in Vinings, GA
Kitchen renovation in Vinings, GA reflects the same demand driving kitchen remodel work across the Atlanta metro: homes built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with closed, compartmentalized kitchen layouts, dated cabinetry and countertops, and electrical infrastructure that does not support modern appliance loads. In Vinings specifically, the higher property values in the community mean buyer and appraiser expectations at resale are correspondingly high. A kitchen renovation in Vinings needs to reach a finish level that matches the neighborhood’s market position, not just update the most dated elements.
Kitchen renovation in Vinings, GA handled by Glazer includes full kitchen gut renovations, cabinet replacement and refacing, countertop installation (quartz, granite, marble, and other materials), kitchen island builds, open-concept conversions requiring wall removals, appliance upgrades coordinated with licensed electricians and plumbers, lighting redesigns, tile backsplash, and flooring. Every kitchen renovation in Vinings involving electrical work, plumbing changes, or structural modifications is permitted through Cobb County and managed through all required inspections.
Open-concept conversions are among the most impactful changes Glazer handles in Vinings kitchen renovations. Many of the community’s 1960s and 1970s homes have walls between the kitchen and the living or dining area that, when removed, transform how the main floor functions. Glazer assesses whether the wall is load-bearing during the planning phase, coordinates structural engineering when needed, and manages the full permit and inspection process for the structural change.
Bathroom Remodel in Vinings, GA
Bathroom remodeling in Vinings, GA follows from the same conditions as kitchen renovation. Older Vinings homes have small original bathrooms with dated tile, aging plumbing fixtures, and configurations that no longer meet the household’s needs or the neighborhood’s resale expectations. The most common bathroom remodel requests Glazer handles in Vinings include full gut renovations of the primary bathroom, tub-to-shower conversions where the original tub goes unused, expansions of the bathroom footprint where adjacent space allows, and high-finish master suite renovations with custom tile, freestanding tubs, and walk-in showers that match the expectations of Vinings’ higher-value market.
Glazer handles the full bathroom remodel scope in Vinings: tile work (floor, shower walls, and accent tile), shower rebuilds and tub-to-shower conversions, vanity and cabinet replacement, countertop installation, mirror and lighting upgrades, exhaust fan replacement, plumbing fixture replacement, and flooring. Any bathroom remodel in Vinings involving plumbing changes, electrical upgrades, or structural modifications is permitted through Cobb County and inspected at all required stages.
For Vinings homeowners planning both a kitchen and bathroom remodel, Glazer coordinates both scopes under one contract and one project manager. This eliminates the scheduling conflicts between overlapping trades and gives the homeowner a single point of accountability for the full scope of work.
Commercial Build-Outs and Renovations in Vinings, GA

Is Vinings an incorporated city, and who issues building permits?
Vinings is an unincorporated community in Cobb County, not an incorporated city.

Do I need a permit for a home renovation in Vinings?
It depends on the scope. Cosmetic work such as painting, replacing flooring, and updating fixtures for like-for-like typically does not require a permit. Any renovation involving structural changes, electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications, or mechanical work requires a building permit from Cobb County’s Building and Plan Review Department. Kitchen and bathroom remodels that move plumbing or upgrade electrical circuits require permits. Glazer assesses permit requirements during the planning phase and pulls every required permit on your behalf, managing all inspections from start to finish.
