Professional Construction & Remodeling in Brookhaven, GA

Glazer Design & Construction is a licensed general contractor in Brookhaven, GA with an active project history across the neighborhood’s diverse housing stock: from 1950s ranch homes in Ashford Park and Lynwood Park to newer custom construction near the Buckhead border. Glazer has been serving Brookhaven homeowners and commercial clients since 1995, registered with the Georgia Secretary of State (Control No. 0330108, Active/Compliance) and permitted through DeKalb County and the City of Brookhaven’s building department.

Brookhaven incorporated as a city in 2012, which created a separate permitting and inspection process for properties within the city limits, distinct from the DeKalb County process that applies to unincorporated areas nearby. Glazer navigates both jurisdictions and knows which applies to your specific address before the first permit application is submitted. That local knowledge is not something every Atlanta-area contractor has.

Every Glazer project in Brookhaven is managed under a written contract, with a named project manager on-site, permits pulled by our team, and a milestone-based payment schedule that protects your investment at every stage of construction.

As a licensed general contractor serving Brookhaven, GA, Glazer manages the full scope of residential and light commercial construction work across the city. From whole-home renovations in Ashford Park to custom builds near the Buckhead border, every project is permitted through the City of Brookhaven or DeKalb County as applicable, managed by a dedicated project manager, and built by licensed subcontractors Glazer has worked with for years.

Brookhaven’s older homes (particularly the ranch-style and traditional properties in Ashford Park, Drew Valley, Skyland, and Lynwood Park) frequently require structural assessment before renovation work begins. Wall removals, layout changes, and addition tie-ins on homes built before 1980 involve foundation, framing, and roof considerations that affect the permit scope and construction sequence. A wall that looks non-load-bearing on a floor plan often tells a different story once a contractor is standing in the space looking at the framing. Glazer assesses these conditions during the initial site visit, not after work has started.

For newer construction in Brookhaven (properties built after 2000 in the neighborhoods closer to Peachtree Road and the Buckhead border), the structural considerations shift but the permitting complexity does not. Glazer determines whether your address falls under the City of Brookhaven’s Community Development Department or DeKalb County’s Building and Development Services before the first permit application is submitted. That distinction affects the review timeline, the inspection process, and the sequence of approvals required for your specific project. It is a detail that matters, and it is one Glazer gets right before work begins.

Why Homeowners Trust Glazer Construction

Clear Communication from Start to Finish

Brookhaven homeowners consistently cite communication failures as the most common problem with renovation contractors: not hearing back after a question, finding out about a delay after it has already affected the schedule, or receiving a change order without a clear cost explanation. Glazer's project manager is the single point of contact for every project and is responsible for proactive updates at each construction phase. You know what is happening before you have to ask.

Quality Craftsmanship Built for Brookhaven Homes

Brookhaven's residential market has risen significantly in value over the past decade. Renovation work that cuts corners, improperly set tile, cabinetry that is not level, exterior work that fails in Atlanta's humidity, does not hold up in a market where buyers and appraisers notice the difference. Glazer uses licensed subcontractors in every trade, specifies materials suited to Atlanta's climate, and conducts a final walkthrough on every project before closing it out.

Organized and Accountable Project Management

A general contractor in Brookhaven, GA is managing subcontractor schedules, material deliveries, permit inspections, and client communication simultaneously across every active project. Glazer's project management process, written scope, milestone-based payments, documented change orders, and inspection coordination, is designed to prevent the scheduling gaps and accountability voids that cause most renovation projects to run over time and over budget.

How Glazer Manages General Contractor Projects in Brookhaven

Permit Coordination

Glazer determines whether your Brookhaven address falls under the City of Brookhaven or DeKalb County jurisdiction and submits the correct permit application to the correct office. Incorrect permit submissions add weeks to your timeline.

Subcontractor Scheduling

All licensed subcontractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, tile setters, and painters, are scheduled in the correct construction sequence and held to Glazer's quality and timeline standards.

Material Procurement

Lead times for cabinets, countertops, tile, and specialty materials are confirmed before the construction schedule is set, not discovered after demo is complete.

Inspection Management

Glazer schedules and tracks all required inspections, framing, rough mechanical, insulation, drywall, and final, and coordinates access with DeKalb County or City of Brookhaven inspectors to keep the construction sequence moving without gaps.

Budget and Change Order Tracking

Every change to the original scope is documented in writing with a cost and timeline impact before additional work begins. No verbal change orders, no surprise invoices at project close.

Home Additions and New Construction in Brookhaven, GA

Home additions are one of the most complex general contractor services Glazer handles in Brookhaven, and one of the most valuable for homeowners who want to stay in the neighborhood rather than move to get more space. Brookhaven’s location, school districts, and walkability to Dresden Drive and Oglethorpe University make it a neighborhood worth investing in rather than leaving.

Glazer builds primary suite additions on the main level, second-story additions over existing single-story footprints, detached garage and carriage house structures, sunrooms and screened room additions, and full room additions that expand the home’s square footage. Every addition in Brookhaven requires structural engineering, architectural coordination, and a full building permit through either the City of Brookhaven or DeKalb County depending on the property’s location.

As a remodeling contractor in Brookhaven, GA with active experience across these projects, Glazer manages the full process: from initial site assessment and design coordination through permit submission, construction, inspections, and final certificate of occupancy.

The latest was some interior renovations of a house recently purchased and the addition of a shade structure with lighting and BAFan over our patio to create a wonderful outdoor living space. Randy and his team are wonderful to work with and do  quality work. They are our "go to" team for all our work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What is not to love about Randy and his team? I had a creepy unfinished basement that was transformed into a terrace level dream! Randy is well connected and works with the most skilled teams and will figure out a way around any problem you have.  I had a few big challenges with my HVAC unit, load bearing beams and general layout, but Randy and his teams will find a way to make it work.  I loved having Francois, the project manager, on site to bounce ideas off of and to make sure I wasn't trying to do something stupid. When you finish your basement, you will run into all sorts of things you didn't expect but what I loved is that nothing stood in Glazer Design's way! Nothing. They tackled everything with speed, efficiency and grace (I would have been cussing up a storm.)  Shawna and April in the office are great with managing timelines and payment schedules. I loved working with the Glazer team and I highly recommend them for any project!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a general contractor charge in Brookhaven, GA?

General contractor fees in Brookhaven typically run 10 to 20 percent of the total project cost, depending on project scope and complexity. For whole-home renovations, kitchen or bathroom remodels, or home additions in Brookhaven, project costs commonly range from $40,000 to $300,000 or more depending on size and finish level. Glazer provides a written, itemized estimate after an on-site assessment so you have a clear number before committing to any scope of work.

Is Glazer a licensed general contractor in Brookhaven, GA?

Yes. Glazer Design & Construction is licensed and insured, registered with the Georgia Secretary of State (Control No. 0330108, Active/Compliance). Georgia law requires any contractor performing work over $2,500 to hold a valid state license. Glazer has operated as a licensed general contractor serving Brookhaven and surrounding DeKalb County neighborhoods since 1995. You can verify Glazer’s registration at ecorp.sos.ga.gov.

Does Brookhaven have its own building permit office?

Yes. Brookhaven incorporated as a city in 2012 and operates its own Community Development Department, which handles building permits and inspections for properties within the city limits. Properties in unincorporated areas near Brookhaven may fall under DeKalb County’s Building and Development Services instead. Glazer determines which jurisdiction applies to your specific address during the initial planning phase and submits permits to the correct office, an important detail that affects both the timeline and the inspection process.

What types of projects does Glazer handle as a general contractor in Brookhaven?

Glazer handles the full range of residential and light commercial general contractor work in Brookhaven: whole-home renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions, second-story builds, basement finishing, attic conversions, structural modifications, outdoor living spaces, screened rooms, custom home builds, and light commercial build-outs. Brookhaven’s housing stock ranges from 1950s ranch homes to newer custom construction, and Glazer has active project experience across all of these property types.

How long does a renovation project take with Glazer in Brookhaven?

Timeline depends on scope. A single-room renovation such as a kitchen or bathroom remodel typically runs four to ten weeks. A whole-home interior renovation runs two to four months. A home addition or second-story build takes four to eight months from permit approval depending on size and structural complexity. City of Brookhaven permit review timelines vary by project type and current review queue. Glazer builds permit lead times into the project schedule before work starts so the overall timeline is realistic from day one.

How does Glazer handle change orders on Brookhaven renovation projects?

Every change to the original project scope is documented in a written change order that states the additional cost and any impact on the project timeline before the additional work begins. Glazer does not proceed with scope changes based on verbal agreements or add costs to the final invoice without prior written approval. This process protects both parties and is one of the most common concerns Brookhaven homeowners raise when evaluating general contractors, based on negative experiences with contractors who add costs at the end of a project without prior documentation.
