General Contractor
Licensed general contractor in Marietta, Roswell, and greater Atlanta. Project management, additions, remodels, and renovations. Free estimates.
Building or remodeling a home is one of the largest projects a homeowner ever undertakes. Catalino Quality Construction serves as the general contractor that ties the whole project together — design coordination, permitting, scheduling, subcontractor management, and quality control — for homeowners throughout Marietta, Roswell, and the greater Atlanta area. With nearly 15 years of experience, Robert Catalino brings hands-on construction knowledge to the management side, not just paperwork.
Project Types
We serve as general contractor on a wide range of residential projects: room additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishes, sunrooms and screened porches, garage conversions, full interior renovations, exterior remodels, and large repair projects that touch multiple trades. For very large projects, we coordinate with architects and engineers; for smaller scopes, we handle design-build in-house.
How We Run a Project
Every project starts with an in-home consultation and a detailed written estimate. Once approved, we develop a schedule that sequences trades correctly (you don't want drywall before electrical inspection), order long-lead items early, pull required permits with the local jurisdiction, and supervise the work day by day. Subcontractors are licensed in their specialty (plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians) and we manage their schedule, payments, and quality of work. The homeowner has a single phone number — ours — for any question or change.
Permits and Code Compliance
Most additions, structural changes, and major remodels in Marietta, Roswell, and Cobb County require a building permit. We handle the permit application, drawing submittals, and inspection scheduling. See our permitting page for more on the process. All work is built to the current edition of the International Residential Code as adopted by Georgia and your local jurisdiction.
Licensed and Insured
Catalino Quality Construction holds Georgia Residential Basic Contractor License #RBCO008244 (company) and #RBQA008233 (individual). We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a general contractor actually do?
A general contractor (GC) is the single point of accountability for a construction project. We handle scope definition and estimating, contracting with the homeowner, scheduling and coordinating all trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, masonry, etc.), purchasing materials, pulling permits and coordinating inspections, supervising daily work, managing change orders, and delivering a finished, code-compliant project. Without a GC, the homeowner is doing all of that themselves — which is workable for small jobs and exhausting for large ones.
When do I need to hire a GC versus a specialty contractor?
Hire a specialty contractor for a single-trade job — a plumber for a water heater, an electrician for a panel upgrade, a roofer for a re-roof. Hire a GC when your project spans multiple trades (a kitchen remodel touches cabinets, counters, plumbing, electrical, paint, and tile), when you need permits and inspections, or when you want one accountable party rather than coordinating five companies yourself.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Catalino Quality Construction holds a Residential Basic Contractor license through the State of Georgia — Company License #RBCO008244, Individual License #RBQA008233. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance and can provide a current Certificate of Insurance on request.
How are general contractor projects priced?
Most of our projects are fixed-price after a detailed scope and estimate. For projects with unknowns (gut remodels where damage may be hidden, additions with unclear existing conditions), we may quote on a time-and-materials basis for the discovery phase and convert to fixed-price once the scope is clear. Either way the estimate is in writing and change orders are documented before work proceeds.
