Since 1995, Glazer Design & Construction has served Sandy Springs homeowners as a licensed general contractor, managing renovations, additions, and new construction from permit to final walkthrough.
Professional Kitchen Renovations in Sandy Springs
Glazer Design & Construction is a licensed general contractor in Sandy Springs, GA with an active project history across one of Fulton County’s most established residential cities. Sandy Springs homes range from 1970s and 1980s ranch-style and traditional properties throughout the city’s older neighborhoods, to larger custom builds in gated communities near the Chattahoochee River, to newer construction in the Perimeter and Hammond Drive corridors. Each property type presents different structural conditions, finish expectations, and permit requirements. Glazer has worked across all of them since 1995.
Glazer is registered with the Georgia Secretary of State (Control No. 0330108, Active/Compliance) and permitted through the City of Sandy Springs Community Development Department and Fulton County as applicable. Sandy Springs incorporated as a city in 2005 and operates its own permitting and inspection process, separate from Fulton County. Glazer knows which jurisdiction applies to your specific address before the first permit application is submitted.
Every Sandy Springs project Glazer manages is run 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.
General Contracting Services in Sandy Springs, GA
As a licensed general contractor serving Sandy Springs, GA, Glazer manages the full scope of residential construction and remodeling work across the city. Services include:
- Whole-home renovations and interior remodels
- Kitchen and bathroom remodeling
- Home additions and second-story builds

Sandy Springs' older housing stock, particularly the ranch-style and split-level homes built in the 1970s and 1980s throughout the city, frequently requires structural assessment before renovation work begins. Wall removals, layout changes, and addition tie-ins on homes built before 1990 involve foundation, framing, and roof considerations that affect the permit scope and construction sequence. Glazer assesses these conditions during the initial site visit, not after work has started.
Why Choose Glazer Construction in Sandy Springs
Clear Communication from Start to Finish
Sandy Springs 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 on your project before you have to ask.
Quality Craftsmanship Built for Sandy Springs Homes
Sandy Springs' residential market spans a wide range of property values and finish expectations. 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 evaluate quality closely. Glazer uses licensed subcontractors in every trade, specifies materials appropriate for Atlanta's climate, and conducts a final walkthrough on every project before closing it out.

A general contractor in Sandy Springs, 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.
Efficient Project Oversight from Start to Finish
Managing a construction project requires structured planning and proactive coordination. We handle scheduling, subcontractors, permits, inspections, and material sourcing to ensure every phase runs smoothly.

How Glazer Manages General Contractor Projects in Sandy Springs
A general contractor in Sandy Springs, GA who manages the project correctly from the start prevents the problems that are expensive and disruptive to fix mid-build. Glazer’s project management process on every Sandy Springs renovation and construction project:
Permit coordination: Glazer determines whether your Sandy Springs address falls under the City of Sandy Springs Community Development Department or Fulton County Building Department jurisdiction and submits the correct permit application to the correct office. Sandy Springs has operated its own permit office since incorporating in 2005. Submitting to the wrong jurisdiction adds weeks to your timeline.
Subcontractor scheduling: All licensed subcontractors (electricians, plumbers, HVAC, tile setters, painters) are scheduled in the correct construction sequence and held to Glazer’s quality and timeline standards. No subcontractor begins work on a Glazer project without verified licensing.
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, final) and coordinates access with City of Sandy Springs or Fulton County inspectors.
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.
