Georgia doesn’t publish an official ranking of “top” general contractors, and most magazine lists rank companies by revenue, not by whether they’re the right fit for your project. The real answer: the top contractor for your job is the one that’s licensed, bonded, and can show you documentation before you sign anything — not the one with the biggest ad budget. Integrity CRR is a service-disabled veteran-owned general contractor holding Georgia commercial GC license #GCCO009212 and Florida Certified GC license #CGC1539499, based at 4720 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30338.
Who Are the Top General Contractors in Georgia?
There isn’t a single certifying body that ranks general contractors in Georgia the way, say, Haag certifies roof inspectors. The Georgia State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors licenses companies to legally operate, but licensing alone doesn’t rank quality or fit. What separates a contractor worth hiring from one that isn’t comes down to a handful of things you can verify yourself before you sign a contract.
What to Check Before You Call Anyone “Top”
- License status. Look up the license number through the Georgia licensing board and confirm it’s active and matches the legal entity name on your contract.
- Bonding and insurance. Ask for a certificate of insurance and confirm the bond amount required for a project of your size.
- SAM.gov registration. Required for federal work and most state and local public bids — a company’s SAM.gov status is public record.
- Self-performed vs. subcontracted trades. Ask directly which trades the company performs with its own crews and which it hands to subs, and get that answer in writing.
- Who’s actually on site. Ask whether a principal or project manager is present on the job, or whether it’s handed entirely to a super you’ve never met.
Integrity CRR’s Credentials
Integrity CRR is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), registered on SAM.gov and bonded, and holds Georgia commercial GC license #GCCO009212 and Florida Certified GC license #CGC1539499. The company’s office is at 4720 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30338, and it serves commercial clients across Georgia and Florida.
Integrity CRR’s roofing crews are GAF certified and Mule-Hide certified, and roof inspections are performed by Haag-certified inspectors. Roofing is self-performed with Integrity CRR’s own crews rather than subcontracted out, and every roofing estimate is written in-house by a Haag-certified reviewer instead of an outside estimator or a sub.
On commercial build-outs and tenant improvements and public works projects, Integrity CRR serves as the general contractor and manages a roster of subcontractors with a documented track record on prior Integrity CRR jobs, rather than self-performing those trades. A principal is on every job.
Why Insurance Claim Documentation Separates Contractors on Storm Work
Storm and insurance restoration work is where the credential gap between contractors is easiest to see. Integrity CRR holds the highest level of Haag Certified Reviewer, a certification that requires Xactimate certification — the estimating software nearly every property insurance carrier uses to price claims. Writing a roof claim scope in Xactimate lets Integrity CRR lay its line-item estimate beside the adjuster’s estimate and show exactly which items are missing or underpriced, instead of submitting a different format and arguing about a claim in general terms.
Once a claim is approved, Integrity CRR guarantees the owner gets the full value of it. The in-house Xactimate staff writes every item of justified, claimable damage into the scope — including the code-required upgrades, detached structures, and hidden labor and material costs that only surface once a roof is opened, and that carriers routinely leave off the first estimate. If the approved estimate comes in short, Integrity CRR documents the gap and pursues the supplement. What the policy actually covers is between the property owner and the carrier: Integrity CRR writes the scope, documents the damage, and submits supplements as the contractor, but it is not a public adjuster and does not negotiate or represent a claim on the owner’s behalf.
What Commercial GC Work Costs in Metro Atlanta
These are general Southeast market ranges, not an Integrity CRR quote. Every project needs a site walk and a written estimate before any number means anything.
| Project Type | Typical Range | What Moves It Up or Down |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial build-out / TI | $60–$150 per sq ft | Finish level, MEP scope, permitting complexity |
| Commercial low-slope roof replacement | $450–$900 per square (100 sq ft) | Substrate condition, insulation, roof access, code upgrades |
| Storm-damage roof repair (insurance) | Varies by approved scope | Extent of damage, decking replacement, code-required upgrades |
Where This Applies
Integrity CRR works commercial and public works projects across Georgia and Florida, based out of Atlanta. Coverage and pricing details for a specific building are handled during an on-site estimate, not over the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a general contractor’s license in Georgia?
Look up the company’s license number through the Georgia Secretary of State’s licensing board portal and confirm it’s active and matches the legal name on your contract. Georgia commercial GC licenses are public record, and any legitimate contractor will give you the number without hesitation.
What’s the difference between a general contractor and a roofing contractor?
A general contractor manages a full project, often coordinating multiple trades through subcontractors, while a roofing contractor specializes in one trade. Some companies do both — Integrity CRR is a general contractor on build-outs, tenant improvements, and public works, and self-performs roofing with its own GAF and Mule-Hide certified crews.
Can a general contractor help with an insurance claim after storm damage?
A GC can inspect the damage, document it, write a detailed repair scope in the carrier’s own estimating software, and submit supplements if the adjuster’s estimate is missing items — that’s contractor work. A GC is not a public adjuster, and Georgia law bars a residential roofing contractor from offering to represent or negotiate a homeowner’s claim with the insurance company.
What should I ask a Georgia general contractor before hiring them for a commercial project?
Ask for their license number, proof of bonding and insurance, whether they self-perform the trade in question or subcontract it, and who from the company will actually be on site during the work. Get the answers in writing before you sign a contract.
