Sandy Springs, Georgia

Ranches, split-levels, and Perimeter condominiums.

Sandy Springs is mid-renovation housing: 1960s and 1970s ranches and split-levels, older streets toward the river, and condominiums near Perimeter Center. JRF takes qualifying projects and, in a condo, needs the building's rules before material is ordered.

Housing

Older houses in the middle of being redone

A Sandy Springs project is often a bath and a hall floor that have to meet, inside a house that was not built with today's tile sizes in mind.

Ranches and split-levelsOriginal oak often sits under carpet. Hall baths were built with small tile and a fiberglass surround. The remodel opens that surround and deals with a subfloor that may already be soft.

The room a few steps downSplit-levels hide a lower room that stays cooler. That is the room where a wood floor shows cupping first, and where a floating floor needs an honest look at moisture.

Perimeter condosConcrete, elevator rules, work hours, and a requirement to protect the corridor. A condo bath can be a complete project. It cannot be scheduled like a ranch with a driveway dumpster.

Humidity

The lower room and the condo slab

Sandy Springs humidity shows up in the split-level step-down and in concrete that never had a crawl space at all.

Step-down roomsA few feet lower is enough to run cooler and damper in the summer humidity, especially along an exterior wall. Solid wood in that room needs a drier story than the upstairs hall, or it needs a different product.

Condo concreteThe moisture caution is the same as a Midtown high-rise, plus the building's limits on noise, protection, and how debris leaves. Vinyl and tile are the frequent answers. Wood only follows a slab that is actually dry.

Ranch bathsA shower that has been leaking into a plywood floor will not be solved by a new vinyl plank in the hall. The wet assembly and the hallway transition are one conversation.

Sandy Springs project questions

Say whether it is a house or a Perimeter condo. The access rules change the schedule.

Can you remodel a ranch bath and the hallway floor together?+

Yes. The bath is waterproofed and tiled as its own assembly, and the hall floor is planned so the doorway transition is finished with both heights known.

What do you need for a condo?+

The building's rules on hours, elevators, and protection, plus the address. We plan deliveries around those rules before the tile or the plank is ordered.

The lower level of our split-level feels damp. Can it still be hardwood?+

Only if that room is actually dry enough for the product. A cooler step-down is the first place cupping shows. Luxury vinyl or tile is often the better floor there, with wood reserved for the drier upper rooms.

Tell us if the building has work-hour rules.

A ranch can start with photos of the bath. A condo should start with the building's access notes too.

Completed projects include a 1-year warranty that starts at project completion.
