11 years ago I decided I needed a change in my life. I packed my bag, left my home country Czech Republic and came to Atlanta knowing only basic phrases like how are you, thank you, please, and where is. Today I run a construction company with two states builders' licenses. In the beginning, I didn't know anything about wood construction and the language barrier was an issue.
I started to take evening English classes after work three times a week and after one year I finished all levels and then started to study for the GED. I had a high school diploma from my country, but I've always wanted to know the system here. I finished my GED in one year by taking all GED tests just in one day.

Original Builders treats your residential or commercial project as though we are working on our own property. Our clients are the most valuable part of the project process and it is always our goal to see each job through completely, from initial concept to the last finishing touch. This is the foundation upon which we have built our business.
Our first picture above represents the latest design hit - one big open space - even though we finished this project a few years ago. Yes, that demonstrates Original Builders is always a step ahead! You can see it flows well - from prep area to the refrigerator to the cooking area. You do not need too many steps and you are everywhere, but without being stuck between two countertops.
Bathroom remodeling is the second most requested change homeowners want after kitchen remodeling. Remodeling the bathroom must be done right because it's not only about look, but more importantly, it is about functionality and no water leaking issues.
Many bathrooms have mold problems, so proper waterproofing, underlayment, tile adhesive, sub-floor bracing and plumbing are just a few examples of where a client can see the difference between a job well done and a job just done.A well-remodeled bathroom will serve a homeowner well for many years. The first picture below is one of our latest finished bathroom projects.

Whether you have an older home that you'd like to modernize or you simply want to upgrade with extensive remodeling, a whole-home remodel is a solid choice. Your home should be a reflection of you; it should show your style and suit your needs. A whole-home remodel is a good way to make sure your home's interior flows well and is designed the way you'd like it to be.
New home construction can be one of your best investments and a dream come true. Some homeowners are interested in new trends and modern materials while others like to stick with traditional materials such as wood and stone to incorporate Mother Nature in the design. The photo below is a perfect example of a house that used elements of Mother Nature in the design.

We hired Original Builders to convert our single door with sidelights to a double iron door. They did a fantastic job, we really could not be more pleased. But the best part of the whole experience was how responsive and professional Vladimir was through the process. We've done several projects over the last 3 years and it was like pulling teeth to get other companies in to just give a quote much less complete the work in a timely manner. I truly feel like we've found the unicorn of contractors.. fair price, great quality work, and outstanding service. I really can't recommend this company enough

We renovated our open-riser staircase, which involved removing the existing treads and replacing them with new wood treads and new brackets, as well as repainting the stringers and handrails. We are very happy with the quality of the work and the end result. Vladimir had a great idea to add a non-slip material to the new treads, and the non-slip definitely works, without sacrificing any aesthetics. Original Builders completed the job on time with great communication throughout the process. We will definitely work with them again!

We recently worked with Original Builders on the complete remodel of our master bathroom. Friends of ours recommended Original Builders, and to say we were pleased with our experience and the outcome would be a major understatement!
Vladimir Kolarik was a joy to work with from original concept to finished project. He handled every aspect of the project from design to delivery with the utmost in professionalism and craftsmanship.
We so thoroughly enjoyed working with Vladimir and are so pleased with the finished result that we will be working with him again in the very near future on another project

I hired Original Builders to do a number of jobs around my home including an entire bathroom remodel, new deck build, and the removal of a wall between my kitchen and dining room. The projects were completed on time, on budget, and exactly to my specifications: I couldn't be happier!
First, the estimate process was very smooth and thorough. Vladimir came to my house, listened to all of my requests and concerns, took measurements and photos, and gave great suggestions. He provided me an estimate quickly and kept in excellent contact with me, responding to my many requests and changes with optimism
