Home Renovation Costs in North Georgia

7 min read · Renovation Masters, Dallas GA

Most contractors won't publish numbers. We will, because a homeowner who knows the real range wastes nobody's time. These are the ranges we actually bid across Paulding, Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee and Douglas County — for licensed, permitted, insured work with written scopes.

Kitchens and bathrooms

Kitchen refresh (paint or reface cabinets, counters, backsplash, fixtures): $12,000–$22,000. Full kitchen remodel with new cabinetry and counters: $25,000–$45,000. Full remodel with layout changes, wall removal and structural headers: $45,000–$70,000+.

Guest bath remodel: $12,000–$20,000. Primary bath with a tiled walk-in shower, double vanity and freestanding tub: $22,000–$40,000. Tub-to-shower conversion alone: $8,000–$15,000.

Outdoor living

Pressure-treated deck: $35–$55 per square foot. Composite deck with hidden fasteners and aluminum rail: $60–$95 per square foot. Screened porch: $25,000–$50,000. Outdoor kitchen: $18,000–$55,000 depending on masonry and appliance package. Pergola: $6,000–$20,000.

Deck restoration — board replacement, structural correction, sand and re-stain — typically runs $3,000–$9,000 and buys another decade on a deck that doesn't need replacing.

Concrete and garage

Concrete driveway: $8–$14 per square foot; patio: $9–$16 per square foot with a broom or stamped finish. Epoxy or polyaspartic garage floor coating on a properly ground slab: $5–$9 per square foot, most two-car garages landing $3,500–$5,500. Garage organization systems: $2,500–$9,000.

Structural and whole-home

Room addition: $180–$320 per square foot. Garage conversion or ADU: $60,000–$140,000. Basement finishing: $45–$85 per square foot. Whole-home renovation: $90–$180 per square foot depending on how much of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing is replaced.

What actually moves the number

Four things drive most of the spread in any bid: whether plumbing or electrical moves, whether the layout changes, the finish tier you pick, and what's discovered once things open up. Everything else is noise.

  • Moving plumbing or gas lines: adds $2,000–$8,000 on most remodels
  • Removing a load-bearing wall with a new header: $3,500–$12,000
  • Panel upgrade on an older home: $2,500–$5,000
  • Rot or water damage found at demo: highly variable — this is what the contingency is for

Frequently asked.

How much does it cost to remodel a kitchen in Dallas, GA?

Most full kitchen remodels in Paulding and Cobb County run $25,000–$70,000 depending on cabinetry, countertops and whether the layout changes. Cosmetic refreshes start around $12,000.

Why do contractor quotes vary so much for the same job?

Usually because the scopes aren't the same. One bid includes permits, disposal, subfloor repair and paint; another doesn't. Compare bids line by line, not by the bottom number.
