Yes. Elevated Operations, LLLP is a licensed general contractor that handles planned construction and remodeling in addition to disaster restoration, including renovations, additions, and full rebuilds across Metro Atlanta.
Yes. Chris Kwangwari holds the general contractor license for both sides of the business, so a homeowner never has to hire a separate remodeling contractor after Elevated Operations completes an insurance-covered restoration.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions, interior build-outs, and full home rebuilds are the core construction projects Elevated Operations handles for Metro Atlanta property owners, alongside its restoration work.
Yes. Chris Kwangwari is a licensed general contractor who has built and remodeled hundreds of homes across Metro Atlanta, and that license covers planned construction projects as well as post-damage rebuilds.
Construction services at Elevated Operations cover planned building projects in Metro Atlanta, separate from emergency restoration work, though the same licensed general contractor leads both. The scope runs from kitchen and bathroom remodels and room additions to interior build-outs and full home rebuilds, with one point of contact from the first design conversation through the finished project.

Updating an existing kitchen, bathroom, or living space with new layouts, fixtures, and finishes, without changing the structure's footprint.
Expanding a home's footprint or converting unfinished space, from an added bedroom to a finished basement or a commercial tenant build-out.
The two most requested remodel projects Elevated Operations handles across Metro Atlanta, from cabinetry and countertops to full gut renovations.
When a fire, storm, or water loss requires a full rebuild, the same construction crew behind Elevated Operations' restoration division carries the project through, with direct insurance billing on covered claims.
A remodel and a rebuild are different scopes of the same license. Whether a project starts with a design conversation or with an insurance claim, it runs through the same licensed general contractor from start to finish.
The cost of a construction project in Metro Atlanta depends on the scope of work, the materials and finishes selected, and whether permitting and design work are required before construction starts. Elevated Operations provides a written scope of work before any project begins, and bills insurance directly when the project is a covered rebuild rather than a planned renovation.
A single-room remodel involves less labor and material than a full addition or a whole-home rebuild, which is why scope is the first factor Elevated Operations reviews on a project.
Cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixture selections affect the total project cost more than almost any other variable in a remodel.
Additions and structural changes typically require a permit from the county or city where the property sits, since Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, and the other counties Elevated Operations serves each run their own permitting process.
When a project starts as a restoration claim, Elevated Operations bills the insurance carrier directly and carries the same file into the construction phase, so a homeowner is not re-explaining the loss to a second contractor.
General contractors who take on permitted construction work in Georgia, including the crew that leads Elevated Operations' construction division, are licensed through the Secretary of State's Professional Licensing Boards Division, and permitted projects have to meet the state minimum standard construction codes enforced by the local building department (Georgia Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division; Georgia Department of Community Affairs).

Four situations send most Metro Atlanta property owners to Elevated Operations for construction work rather than a single trade or a handyman.
A full kitchen or bathroom remodel touches plumbing, electrical, and structural elements at once, work that falls under a general contractor's license rather than a single trade.
Expanding a home's footprint, an added bedroom, a finished basement, or a home office, requires permitting and structural work that a licensed general contractor manages from design through framing to finish.
When an adjuster determines a fire, storm, or water loss needs a full rebuild rather than repair, Elevated Operations carries the same file from restoration into construction with direct insurance billing.
Interior build-outs for a new tenant space and larger residential renovations both need one contractor managing subcontractors, permits, and inspections, not a homeowner coordinating each trade separately.
Renovation, addition, and full rebuild are three different scopes of construction work, not interchangeable terms. A renovation updates what already exists inside the current footprint, an addition expands the footprint, and a full rebuild replaces the structure, most often after an insurance-covered loss.
The table below is the framework Elevated Operations uses on site to explain, in plain terms, which scope a project falls under before a written estimate goes out.
| Project Type | What It Involves | Common Reason Metro Atlanta Owners Choose It | Elevated Operations Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renovation / Remodel | Updating layout, fixtures, and finishes inside the existing footprint, kitchen, bathroom, or basement | Outdated space, resale preparation, or a change in how the household uses the home | Design conversation through finished build with the same crew, no subcontractor hand-offs |
| Addition / Build-Out | Expanding the structure's footprint or converting unfinished space into living or working space | A growing household, an added bedroom or office, or a commercial tenant build-out | Permitting, framing, and finish work handled in-house by a licensed general contractor |
| Insurance-Covered Rebuild | Rebuilding some or all of a structure after fire, storm, or water damage under a covered claim | An adjuster determines repair is not sufficient and the structure needs to be rebuilt | Direct insurance billing, with the same company handling restoration and construction |
The trained technicians who handle Elevated Operations' restoration work and the licensed general contractor who leads its construction division report to the same company, which is why a loss that starts as mitigation and ends as a full rebuild never changes hands mid-project.
Metro Atlanta's mix of older crawl-space homes, newer slab construction, and red clay soil changes how a renovation or addition gets built compared to other regions, and each of the seven counties Elevated Operations serves, Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, Douglas, Clayton, Henry, and Paulding, runs its own permitting process for the same project type.

Homes built across Marietta, Decatur, and other established Metro Atlanta neighborhoods before current codes often need electrical, plumbing, or structural updates as part of a remodel, not just cosmetic changes.
Red clay soil common across the metro area compacts and drains slower than sandy soil, a factor a licensed general contractor accounts for when planning an addition's foundation or footing.
Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, Douglas, Clayton, Henry, and Paulding counties each run separate permitting offices, so the approval process for the same addition or remodel can differ depending on where the property sits.
Metro Atlanta's population, estimated at roughly 6.4 million people across the metro area (U.S. Census Bureau, Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Area population estimates, 2020s series), means Elevated Operations coordinates permitting with several different county and city building departments in the normal course of business, not just one.
Georgia requires general contractors to hold a state license issued through the Secretary of State's Professional Licensing Boards Division, and verifying that license is the first step before signing a contract for any renovation, addition, or rebuild.
Confirm the contractor holds an active Georgia general contractor license rather than taking a verbal claim at face value.
A licensed general contractor manages subcontractors and inspections directly, so a homeowner has one point of contact instead of coordinating separate trades.
