Project Photos
Catalino Quality Construction is based in Marietta, and building here means building in our own backyard. We take on ground-up construction across the city and the surrounding unincorporated Cobb County area — custom homes, detached garages and workshops, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs — backyard cottages and garage apartments) where zoning allows. Robert Catalino has been framing and building in Cobb County for roughly a decade and a half, and a new build gets his direct attention at every phase.
Ground-Up Building in an Established City
Marietta is mostly built out, which shapes what new construction looks like here. Much of the opportunity is infill: a vacant in-town lot, a teardown near the Square, or a larger unincorporated parcel further out toward West Cobb. Each comes with its own puzzle — mature trees worth protecting, older utility connections, neighbors close by, and grading that has to move water away from everyone's foundation, not just yours. We plan site work around those constraints from the first walk-through.
Detached projects are the other half of our Marietta new-construction work. A two-car garage with storage above, a workshop with real power, or a backyard ADU can add more usable space than an interior renovation at a comparable cost — and zoning in several Marietta districts allows accessory structures that homeowners assume they can't build. We'll check what your lot permits before you spend anything on plans.
One Builder, Every Phase
From clearing and footings through framing, dry-in, licensed trade rough-ins, and finish carpentry, the build stays under one roof. Robert walks the county and city inspections himself, and the finish work is held to the standard you can see in our gallery — much of it photographed within a few miles of the Square.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pull permits through the City of Marietta or Cobb County?
Both, depending on where your lot sits. Addresses inside Marietta city limits go through the City of Marietta's development services office; the many Marietta-addressed properties in unincorporated Cobb go through Cobb County. We confirm the jurisdiction before design work starts, since setback and zoning rules differ between the two.
Can you build on a teardown or infill lot in Marietta?
Yes. In-town Marietta has a steady supply of older homes on good lots, and replacing one is often the only way to get new construction close to the Square. We can assess the existing structure, coordinate demolition, and build the new home — one contractor and one permit trail for the whole sequence.
What can you build under your license in Marietta?
Georgia's Residential Basic license class covers detached one- and two-family homes and one-family townhouses up to three stories, plus detached structures like garages, workshops, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). That's our class. Commercial and multifamily buildings are outside it, and we don't take them on.
How early should I talk to a builder before buying a Marietta lot?
Before you close, ideally. A short site walk can flag drainage problems, difficult access, or grading costs that change what the lot is really worth. We do these walks as part of a free estimate.
