Bathroom remodel with double sink vanity and marble countertop by Encompass Contracting in Athens, GA

What Our Clients Think

"We are so pleased with our new master bathroom!! Jamie was such an easy person to work with. His attention to detail and desire for everything to be “right” and to our satisfaction gave us a great sense of confidence that we would be pleased in the end. His reasonable bid for the job in the beginning is what led us to give him the job, but the end result is what ultimately sold us! If you’re in the market for any type of remo for your home, you need look no further. This is your company and your contractor!"
