Network status in Atlanta: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.
How the marketplace works for operators
- Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on Remodel.co by ZIP and service.
- We turn it into a job brief. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
- The brief goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
- You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.
What's in a job brief
- ZIP code and matched town
- Project type and timeline
- Property type
- Scope: refresh, full remodel, layout changes, or adding space
- Budget range, if the homeowner chose to share one
- Design and permit status
- Home age (pre-1978 lead-safe rules) and whether they'll live there during work
- Systems the project touches: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, structure, windows, roof, flooring, cabinets, HOA
- A short description in the homeowner's words
- Photos, when provided
- Contact details and consent to be contacted
The Atlanta market: what jobs look like
Common job drivers
- Basements on sloped lots are common finishing projects; moisture control comes first.
- Older intown homes may have outdated wiring, plumbing, or framing that surfaces mid-project.
- Pre-1978 homes bring lead-safe (RRP) rules into any paid work that disturbs paint.
- Georgia licenses residential and general contractors at the state level.
Area context
Metro Atlanta mixes older intown neighborhoods with suburban cities in Cobb, Fulton, and DeKalb counties. Permits come from the city, or the county in unincorporated areas.
Georgia rules your customers will ask about
- Georgia's consumer protection office says residential and general contractors are licensed by the state, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors are licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board, and painters and roofers aren't state-licensed (Georgia Attorney General Consumer Protection: Home improvement).
- Georgia runs its own EPA-authorized lead renovation (RRP) program for pre-1978 homes (EPA: Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Program).
Sources and official contacts
- Georgia Attorney General Consumer Protection: Home improvement
- Georgia Secretary of State: license lookup
- City of Atlanta Office of Buildings: building permits

What Atlanta homeowners ask about
From our homeowner guide for Atlanta.
Do Georgia remodelers need a license?
Georgia's consumer protection office says residential and general contractors are licensed by the state, and plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors by the Construction Industry Licensing Board. Look up any license with the Secretary of State.
Can I finish my basement in Atlanta?
Often, with permits for framing, electrical, plumbing, and egress where required. Deal with any water or moisture issue first.
Pricing and fees
Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.
Joining the network in Atlanta
Can I get job requests from Atlanta through Remodel.co?
That's what this page is for. Send your company details and service area, and we'll follow up about routing Atlanta job briefs to you. The network is new, so we'll be clear about request volume before you commit.
Do I need an office in Atlanta?
No. You need to actually serve Atlanta or the ZIP codes you choose. We won't list you anywhere you don't work.
Who pays?
Homeowners don't pay. Contractors pay to receive projects. We haven't published pricing; we'll go over it with you before you receive any projects, and filling in the interest form doesn't commit you to anything.
I'm a specialty trade, not a GC. Can I join?
Yes. Tell us which trades you self-perform. Whole-project briefs go to GCs and design-build firms; single-trade briefs can go to specialty companies. Routing parts of projects to sister trade marketplaces may come later; it isn't live today.
