Sandy Springs offers the perfect balance of “Inside the Perimeter” convenience and large, wooded lots. But if you live in Riverside, Mount Vernon, or near Chastain Park, your home likely doesn’t match the value of the land it sits on. The 1960s architecture—closed floor plans, 8-foot ceilings, and small master baths—is holding your property back.
At Yanover Construction, we specialize in major structural transformations in Sandy Springs. We don’t just update finishes; we alter the footprint. Whether it’s “popping the top” for a second story or a complete gut renovation, we turn dated ranches into modern architectural masterpieces.
Sandy Springs Renovation Services
Second Story Additions (“The Pop-Top”)
When you can’t build out because of lot lines, you build up. We specialize in removing the roof and adding a full second level. This effectively doubles your square footage, allowing for a massive Primary Suite, additional bedrooms, and a laundry room upstairs, while opening up the entire main floor for entertaining.
Whole-Home Gut Renovations
For the homeowner who buys a “time capsule” home for the lot. We strip the interior down to the studs. We remove load-bearing walls to create open-concept living, replace aging galvanized plumbing and electrical, and install luxury wide-plank flooring, custom millwork, and chef-grade kitchens.
Structural Rear Additions
Expand your footprint toward the backyard. We design and build seamless Master on Main extensions, sun-drenched keeping rooms, and luxury kitchens that open directly to your outdoor living space.
Sandy Springs Client Experience
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Our 1970s ranch was chopped up and dated. Yanover Construction came in, removed the walls, and gave us the open concept kitchen and living area we’ve wanted for years. It’s hard to find a reliable team in Sandy Springs, but these guys delivered. No surprises on the budget and the crew was super respectful.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The City of Sandy Springs has some of the strictest building codes in Georgia, particularly regarding Stormwater Management and Impervious Surface Limits. We manage the entire pre-construction phase, working with civil engineers to calculate lot coverage and design drainage solutions so your addition is approved efficiently.
For a comprehensive whole-home remodel or second-story addition, we typically recommend finding temporary housing. To execute the work efficiently and safely, turning off utilities and opening up walls creates an environment that is often not comfortable for families to live in.
Unlike a simple room remodel, a whole-home transformation or structural addition typically requires 4 to 8 months. This includes the timeline for permitting with the city (Alpharetta/Roswell/Milton), construction, and final finishing.
In the high-end North Atlanta market, costs vary significantly based on the scope of work, structural complexity (such as second-story additions vs. ground-level expansions), and the level of luxury finishes selected. Unlike new construction, renovations require navigating existing site conditions. We provide detailed, transparent, fixed-price proposals after the architectural design phase is complete to ensure accuracy.
