Interior Remodeling in DeKalb County
One Team. Every Project. Backed by a One-Year Guarantee.
When a kitchen feels dated, a basement sits unfinished, or a spare room isn’t earning its square footage, House Doctors of South Dekalb is the single call that sets everything in motion. We provide interior remodeling services throughout DeKalb County, Georgia, covering everything from full kitchen & bath overhauls and basement finishing to sunrooms, garages, and bonus room remodeling. Every project is handled by our own licensed, insured, bonded, and background-checked technicians, backed by a one-year labor guarantee and coordinated through one point of contact from estimate to final walkthrough.

Permits & Building Codes for DeKalb County Remodeling Projects
Navigating the permitting side of a remodel is one of the parts homeowners dread most. In DeKalb County, most residential construction, additions, and renovations require a permit before work begins, and as of January 1, 2026, the county operates under the 2024 International Codes. Applications for projects in unincorporated DeKalb are submitted electronically through the county’s e-Permitting Portal, with inspections also requested online.
One important detail: if your home is located inside an incorporated city such as Decatur, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, or Tucker, permitting runs through that city’s own department rather than the county. Projects involving structural or load-bearing changes, new plumbing or electrical circuits, window and door replacement, or most addition work typically require a permit. Cosmetic updates like cabinet resurfacing without moving plumbing may not, though local interpretation varies.
Our technicians are licensed by the State of Georgia and meet DeKalb Development Services’ contractor registration requirements. We handle all permit paperwork and communication with the relevant permitting authority, whether that’s the county or a city department, so you don’t have to figure out the process on your own.
Interior Remodeling Projects We Handle in DeKalb County
Our team covers a wide range of interior renovation work. Below are the project types we handle most frequently for homeowners across DeKalb County.
Full Kitchen & Bath Remodeling
Kitchen and bathroom remodels consistently rank among the highest-return renovation investments for resale value, and they’re also the projects most likely to change how a home feels day to day. We handle appliance installation, backsplashes, cabinet replacement, countertop installation, flooring repair and installation, lighting updates, replacement windows, and complete kitchen redesigns.
Basement Finishing
An unfinished basement is unused square footage. Basement finishing converts that space into a functional living area, whether that means an entertainment room, a home office, or additional sleeping quarters, without expanding the home’s footprint. We can add new stairs and configure the layout to match how the space will actually be used.
Bonus Room Remodeling
Bonus room remodeling covers man caves, game rooms, home theaters, mud rooms, laundry rooms, and closets, addressing both function and livability without requiring structural additions to the home.
Garages & Sunrooms
Garage upgrades include fresh paint, additional insulation, and concrete repair. For sunrooms, we convert existing rooms into sunroom spaces or add new sunroom expansions, creating a year-round transition between interior living and the outdoors.
