Home Remodeling in Ball Ground, GA, Old Houses and New
ZenDev Home Builders & Remodelers handles design and pricing for Ball Ground remodels with one in-house team. That goes for older homes and newer ones. Your budget shapes the plan from the first meeting.
You love where you live. Let's make your Ball Ground house work for the way you live now.
ZenDev Remodeling is the right choice for Ball Ground.
Ball Ground is a small city with two housing eras side by side. Census estimates count about 1,200 homes. About 11 percent were built before 1940, and roughly 40 percent went up in 2010 or later.
The population grew from under 900 people in 2000 to roughly 2,900 in recent Census estimates. One street can need a careful update to an older house, and the next a refresh of a builder-grade kitchen.
Even when a project starts in one room, we look at how the whole house works.
A farmhouse kitchen with one outlet and barely any counter. A bath tacked onto a back corner decades ago. A newer house whose builder kitchen already feels small. Loving a small town doesn't mean settling for a house that doesn't fit. The house just hasn't caught up with you.
Plans lose steam when drawings are done before anyone knows the cost. Home remodeling in Ball Ground can give an old house a working kitchen or a newer house more room. You don't have to trade the town for a bigger lot elsewhere.
Tell us what's in the way. We sketch and price it together. Our own people do the building.
Remodeling and Renovation Services
If you can dream it, we can build it.
Whether it's one room or the whole house, we're glad to talk it through. Here's where most of our remodeling conversations start.
Whole-Home Renovations
Renovate most or all of the house as one project, with design and pricing worked out together.
Home Additions
Add the space your family needs, designed as part of the house you already have.
Interior and Exterior Renovations
Rework floor plans, rebuild large parts of the interior, and improve how the outside of the home looks and holds up. That includes bathroom remodels, from a refreshed hall bath to a full primary suite.
Kitchen and Living-Area Reconfigurations
Open up or rework the rooms where your family cooks, eats, and gathers.
Performance Upgrades
Better comfort, efficiency, and air quality through insulation, air sealing, and mechanical upgrades.
Remodel or Build New?
We build custom homes too, so we can give you a candid view of which one makes more sense for you.
What to Know before you Remodel
For a Ball Ground home
In an older Ball Ground house, a kitchen or bathroom remodel often means new plumbing, wiring and framing behind the finishes. In a newer one, it's usually about layout and materials.
Additions, exterior repairs and full renovations are part of what we do as well. Whether it's one room or the whole house, we're glad to talk it through.
In the pre-1940 houses, added insulation can join the same project. If you can dream it, we can build it.
Remodel or Rebuild?
ZenDev Home Builders & Remodelers is licensed in Georgia as a general contractor and handles remodels and new homes. That helps when an older house raises the question of starting over. We price both.
We also build new homes in Ball Ground. So we can set the cost of a new house on your lot next to the cost of keeping yours.
New structures in the city's Valley Overlay or TND districts, or under conditional zoning, need architectural approval, which we plan for.
Permitting Requirements
Within Ball Ground's limits, the City of Ball Ground issues residential building permits, and we line them up during design. Applications go by email to the permits office with a checklist of supporting documents.
Renovation work involving electrical, plumbing, roofing, water heaters or load-bearing walls needs a permit. So do additions, including patios, decks and porches. Cabinets, countertops, tile, carpet and paint don't. The city wants a site plan or house location plan from a design professional. A property more than 300 feet from sewer needs septic approval from the Cherokee County Health Department first. Addresses beyond city limits go through the county's Development Service Center instead.
When a remodel is designed first and priced later, you find out too late that the budget doesn't work.
ZenDev Home Builders & Remodelers is a licensed general contractor and homebuilder with architecture, estimating, and construction under one roof. Design and pricing evolve together from the first meeting, so cost shapes the design from the start.
It's the same discipline we use on every custom home we build.

Remodeling Questions Our Clients Ask
Do you take on small remodeling jobs or handyman work?
We're glad to talk through remodeling projects of every size. Even when a project starts in one room, we look at how the whole house works.
Is it better to remodel or rebuild?
It depends on the house, the lot, and what you need it to do. Because we build custom homes and also remodel, we can give you a candid view of both. Sometimes the right home is the one you already own.
Is design-build worth it compared with hiring separately?
When a remodel is designed first and priced later, you can end up with a plan the budget can't cover. With architecture, estimating, and construction under one roof, we price the design as it develops.
Who designs a home addition?
We do. ZenDev Home Builders and Remodelers has architectural, estimating, and construction experience in-house, so the addition is designed as part of the house you already have.
Can you make an older home more energy efficient during a remodel?
Yes. When the walls are already open, it's often the right time to address an older home's insulation, air sealing, and mechanical systems, which improves comfort, efficiency, and air quality.
How much does a whole-home renovation cost in greater Atlanta?
It depends on the scope. Because design and pricing evolve together, you see what your choices cost while the plan can still change.
