What a Full Gut Renovation in Atlanta, GA Actually Looks Like
A full gut renovation in Atlanta, GA is one of the most complex projects a residential contractor can take on. This property arrived with years of deferred maintenance — debris-covered yards, mold on interior walls, stripped-out rooms, a kitchen untouched for decades, and structural damage throughout.
345 CARES managed the project from initial site clearance through final walkthrough — executing selective demolition, mold remediation, full interior gut, complete kitchen rebuild, three bathroom renovations, exterior transformation, and outbuilding conversion into a functional workshop.
The result: a property that went from functionally uninhabitable to fully renovated — and the numbers prove it.
Scope of WorkFrom Debris Site to Finished Curb Appeal
White brick repainted, custom red-brown shutters, new landscaping beds, concrete driveway, and covered carport added. The backyard was cleared of all accumulated debris, lawn reestablished, outbuilding painted and converted into a functional workshop.
A Bobcat T450 compact track loader and roll-off were on site from day one. Heavy debris and demolition waste were cleared before any interior work began. The rear view shows the full property footprint after completion — clean sightlines to the workshop and a usable backyard.
Complete Kitchen Gut & Rebuild
Full removal — dated cabinets, OSB-patched faces, broken window, and all appliances. Replaced with all-new white shaker cabinets to ceiling, granite countertops, grey subway tile backsplash, recessed LED lighting, stainless range, over-range microwave, and dishwasher. Hardwood floors refinished throughout.
Three Bathrooms Rebuilt From Scratch
Gutted to studs and rebuilt with large-format stone-look tile floor to ceiling, decorative mosaic glass accent strip, brushed nickel fixtures, walk-in shower with penny-tile floor, slate-blue vanity with black granite top, and lit mirror.
Mold-damaged utility space gutted, waterproofed, and rebuilt as a full hall bath with tiled tub-shower surround, new toilet, and tile floor. Powder room finished separately with dark espresso vanity, brushed nickel sconce bar, and framed mirror.
The Outbuilding — A Bonus That Adds Real Market Value
Rather than demolishing it, 345 CARES assessed the outbuilding, retained it, and converted it into a fully functional workshop and garage. In Atlanta’s rental market, a detached workshop is a rare amenity that commands a premium over comparables.
Exterior repainted, interior cleared and treated, garage door functional. Suitable for storage, vehicles, or a home-based operation — a rare amenity at this price point in Metro Atlanta.
What This Renovation Did to Property Value
These are not estimates. These are actual recorded sale prices — a documented case study in what a complete home renovation in Atlanta, Georgia does to property value.
Purchased in distressed condition — debris-covered yard, mold, structural exposure, non-functioning systems. Priced as land and structure, not a livable home. No conventional buyer would touch it at market rate.
Five months after acquisition, the full gut renovation was complete. The property sold for $209,000 — a $104,000 gain on a $105,000 purchase. Nearly 100% return in under half a year. The renovation was the value creation event.
Four years after the renovation sale, the property changed hands again for $299,000. A $194,000 gain over the original acquisition price — a 185% total return. Quality renovation work holds its value and appreciates with the market.
