The most “radical” of home renovations, the whole house project more or less involves just that—the entire home. There may or may not be additions, but usually interior spaces are enlarged or combined, kitchens and bathrooms are expanded and remodeled, and both interior and exterior finishes are changed and updated. While this project can be quite expensive, the value of homes and real estate in Atlanta more often than not supports this approach. And in the end, you get almost exactly what you were looking for in the first place.

It’s true—there is sometimes no place to go but up! An attic conversion or adding a second story can solve a lot of space issues, and in the process, you can end up with the bonus of a more striking and interesting home, while saving your yard for landscaping and volleyball. And in many cases in Atlanta, zoning and setbacks will not even allow for expanding the footprint of your home, so the only alternative is up.
