Our Background

Atlanta Design Build articleFounded in 1996 by H. Dale Contant, CR, as Sun-Fun Remodeling Inc., our company built a reputation as a quality provider of remodeling services. Our projects began as "outdoor" remodeling specialties: decks, screened porches, three-season rooms, arbors, room additions, etc. We have always taken pride in the high level of customer support delivered to each project. In recent years, our skills and expertise have expanded! Ceramic tile and cabinetry have been added to our list of specialties. Our talents extend beyond the outdoor arena to also include: bathroom renovations, master-bath suite renovations, total kitchen remodeling, basement renovations and whole-house renovations! Recognition received for our award-winning designs also established us as a full-service design/build organization, able to meet all customer requirements with our in-house design team.
