Design & Project Management in Roswell, GA

A Remodel in Roswell Depends Entirely on Which Roswell

Roswell holds a genuine historic core near Canton Street, then rings outward through subdivisions built across the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. A careful renovation of an older home near the square and a full reworking of a 1990s two-story are different projects with different constraints, and treating them the same is how remodels go wrong.

What they share is the need for a real plan. At Delano Designs, we document the house as it stands, develop the layout and design with you, produce the complete construction document set, and file with the City of Roswell, which handles its own residential permitting.

Ryan leads every project from the first walkthrough through the final punch list, including the part most homeowners dread: collecting contractor bids that don't line up and figuring out which one to trust.

Design Work by Era

Older homes near the historic core. Renovation design that updates kitchens, baths, and systems while keeping the character that made you buy the house. Additions planned to match original proportions and rooflines.

1970s and 1980s traditionals and splits.

1990s and 2000s two-story builds.

  • Kitchen and primary bath renovation design, updated exterior elevations, and layout changes that turn formal, compartmentalized main floors into space families actually use.

Larger lots and river-adjacent properties.

Our Roswell work spans the historic district, Martin's Landing, Horseshoe Bend, Willow Springs, and the neighborhoods along the Chattahoochee.

Questions about Designing and Project Managing in Roswell

Do you handle Roswell permit filing?expand_more
Yes. Roswell reviews and issues its own residential permits, so we prepare the submittal package to the city's standards, file it, and respond to plan-review comments until the permit is issued. Engineering, surveying, and permit fees are billed separately from design. 
We're considering an addition. How do we know what the lot allows?expand_more
We check the zoning constraints on your parcel before design gets underway, including setbacks, lot coverage, and any overlay requirements that apply. On larger or wooded lots we coordinate a survey and, when needed, an arborist, so tree protection requirements don't derail the plan late. 
Do you work with Roswell contractors, or do we need to find our own?expand_more
You hire your builder directly, and we help you do it well. We issue a bid package that lets every contractor price the same scope, then compare the proposals, explain the differences, and negotiate on your behalf.

Our Process

1 | CONNECT
We begin with a free fit call to talk through your home, your timeline, and the investment you have in mind. If your project is a match, we'll schedule a Design Jumpstart: a paid working visit where we walk the space with you, document your priorities, and surface the feasibility questions early. 
2 | DESIGN & DOCUMENT
We measure your home as it actually exists, then develop the layout and design with you. Once it's right, we produce the complete construction document set, coordinate any engineers or surveyors your project needs, and manage the permit filing with your jurisdiction from submittal through approval. 
3 | PRICING & BUILD
Your drawings go out for contractor pricing, and we compare the bids side by side and explain what the differences mean. We'll negotiate on your behalf and help you choose. Then we stay on through construction, answering questions from the field and keeping you updated until the punch list is closed.

Nini L.

I had the pleasure of working with Ryan at Delano Designs, and I can't say enough about the exceptional experience. Ryan's phenomenal design work and thoughtful floor plans truly brought my vision to life. From the start, Ryan's ability to understand my ideas and translate them into creative and practical layouts for my basement was impressive. The process was not only efficient and well-organized but also incredibly inspiring. Ryan's expertise made it easy to explore new possibilities I hadn't even considered. I highly recommend Delano Designs for anyone looking to turn their space into something special!

Brett A.

Great experience working with a talented designer and orchestrator of the project . Came up with ideas / plans that not only turned out beautifully but also added value to the property- definitely recommend him and will call again as he made it effortless for me .

Henry

Ryan not only exceeded expectations but completely pulled off the unimaginable when designing our 8,000 ft² Brookhaven property. Trying to craft ideas out of nothing for such a large space becomes a daunting task, especially when trying to keep the flow and consistency of the designs throughout the house. However Ryan pulled it off flawlessly and efficiently

Ty H.

Ryan has been great! He really helped us understand our proposed layout with 3D modeling and executed it flawlessly. His visualization tools really helped us understand what we were going to get before any construction took place. Highly recommended!
