Garrison Atlanta Remodeling Microsites for Branded Project Inquiries

You remodel kitchens and older homes around Atlanta, and the neighbors of your best jobs still have no idea your company did the work.

Trojan builds Garrison microsites for remodeling companies in Atlanta, Georgia: a branded site for each intown neighborhood you work, with consultation requests going to your own team. It's for the remodeler who says, "Once people see our kitchens they call, but they can't find them." The Atlanta Regional Commission says the city added about 10,600 residents between April 2024 and April 2025.

Powered by Garrison, Trojan’s microsite software. Useful branded websites and direct inquiries for the markets your team serves.

Pick three finished Atlanta projects you'd want on the first sites. The first strategy call is free, and during business hours we aim to reply within five minutes.

  • A branded site for each Atlanta neighborhood you remodel in
  • Your finished rooms, shown with your photos and notes
  • Consultation requests routed to whoever prices projects

Jeff Clerisier has run Trojan himself since founding it in March 2018, and more than 1,400 of its websites are live. For an Atlanta remodeler, every project page starts from your own photos and crew notes, and nothing about Georgia licensing or historic district review goes up until your team signs off, since owners planning a big job often check those details before they call.

Questions about remodeling microsites in Atlanta, Georgia

What does an Atlanta remodeling microsite network cost?

There's no published remodeling price yet, so the number comes after the free strategy call. The membership prices on Trojan's site are set for roofing and water restoration. For a remodeler, the size of the network depends on the Atlanta neighborhoods you'd take jobs in and how many finished projects you can publish, since each site needs real work to show.

Do Atlanta remodeling jobs need a licensed contractor?

Once the work is worth more than 2,500 dollars, yes. The Georgia Secretary of State says a residential basic contractor license is required when the value of the work passes that amount. Your sites can carry your license on every project page, which settles a question careful homeowners ask early, and we print only the number you send us.

What changes for remodels in Atlanta's historic districts?

Exterior work gets a closer look. The City of Atlanta's general repair rules say the usual permit exemptions for repairs don't apply to exterior work on a landmark or historic district property governed by Chapter 20 of the zoning ordinance. A porch or addition page on your site can tell those owners to plan for that review, in the words your team uses.

How do my finished projects get onto the sites?

You send photos and a few lines about each job, and we build a project page from them. The notes that help most are the ones only your crew knows, like the wall that came out or what turned up behind the old cabinets. We publish only work you have permission to show, and we never invent a project or a review.

Has anyone vouched for Trojan's work?

Yes, in Google reviews of Trojan. Heather Doan wrote, "I had a great experience working with Jeff," and Mike Bamosi's review mentions "a noticeable uptick in leads within just a few weeks." Neither review talks about remodeling or Atlanta, so read them as a sense of how Jeff's team works with owners, and judge the rest by the first sites we build for you.

What if some of the sites stay quiet?

Some will, and your reporting shows which ones instead of leaving you to guess months later. A neighborhood site can stay quiet because few people there are searching, or because another remodeler already holds those results, and nobody can promise rankings. Trojan is based in Indianapolis and serves Atlanta businesses remotely.

Which Atlanta rules and places can a remodeling site cite?

We cite Georgia's license rule and Atlanta's historic district review on remodeling sites only after checking each one against the source named below.

Define access and the handover.
Make account access explicitDomain, website, analytics and customer records need clear ownership and a workable handover.

The scope should show how portfolio evidence, project fit and the consultation process connect. A microsite is useful when it helps a homeowner understand the remodeler’s actual work and take an informed next step. A duplicate gallery on another domain is a weaker starting point.

Illustrative Atlanta planning scenario

Consider a proposed Atlanta microsite for a remodeler seeking better kitchen project conversations. The company has permission cleared portfolio material but its current site presents every project type through the same generic inquiry. Trojan would first determine whether a stronger kitchen section on the main site can solve the problem.

Read more

If a focused resource is justified, it would explain the remodeler’s actual role, show annotated project examples and provide a planning guide for early scope questions. A homeowner could describe the project stage and preserve an inspiration reference in the inquiry without implying that the photographed design will be reproduced. The coordinator would receive the intended project and unresolved decision. Paid campaigns could support the same coherent offer while organic resources answer useful planning questions. The company would own the agreed domains, content rights and inquiry records, with responsibility assigned for project permissions and service updates. The strategy seeks a durable source of suitable conversations when the content remains useful and the team can maintain it; it does not promise automatic compounding leads.

Ownership is part of the product

The proposed delivery plan should preserve this responsibility. A remodeling microsite’s most valuable assets often include original project explanations and the inquiry history built around them. Ownership should cover the domain, hosting, content, photography rights, analytics and project request records. The agreement should distinguish the company’s own images from licensed material and identify whether a former client has approved public use. If the agency relationship ends, the remodeler should know how it retains the site and contact route. Trojan would make these account and permission responsibilities visible before treating the network as a lasting business asset.

Plan a useful content hierarchy

For this microsite service, the buyer journey is the organizing principle. The remodeling hierarchy should begin with a project category the company genuinely wants to discuss. A kitchen renovation page can explain the scope conversation, while a planning guide distinguishes early ideas from a developed brief. Portfolio pages should describe the constraints and the remodeler’s actual role rather than rely on finished photographs alone. A process page can explain how the team develops and approves scope. A separate microsite is useful only if these resources form a distinct customer journey; a second domain displaying the same kitchen gallery may be less useful than improving the main website.

Qualify and route the inquiry directly

The implementation should show how the project coordinator receives useful context. An initial remodeling request can ask about project type, property location and the decision the homeowner is trying to make. It can allow a broad stage description instead of demanding a complete specification. Inspiration references should be preserved as context, not interpreted as a commitment to reproduce another project. The confirmation should explain how the coordinator reviews fit and what information may be needed later. A conversation request does not approve design, construction or a start date.

An inspiration image or initial inquiry does not establish buildability, project price, permits or a construction schedule. This boundary matters when the visitor is a homeowner exploring the scope of a kitchen renovation.

Use genuine Atlanta coverage

Atlanta’s visitor bureau identifies West Midtown with design retail, arts and offices.

The local source gives commercial context, not proof of demand for remodeling work. Coverage must come from the remodeling company. The proposed service plan should identify the properties and work the company actually accepts without inventing local offices, customer relationships or neighborhood conditions.

Organic discovery and paid traffic serve different roles

For the remodeling company, the channel mix is part of the proposed delivery scope. Organic project resources can help homeowners explore the remodeler’s offer and retain a useful reference during their planning. Paid traffic can be directed to a relevant project page, while purchased inquiries depend on a supplier’s separate generation and delivery model. Trojan would keep those distinctions visible in both the ownership agreement and reporting. A portfolio and planning resource may become more valuable as approved evidence and answers improve, but that conditional goal is not an automatic compounding lead promise. The company still needs to maintain permissions, explain its current preferences and follow through on suitable conversations.

Assign maintenance before expanding the network

The microsite handoff must account for ongoing upkeep. Remodeling content needs updates when project preferences, service roles, consultation steps or portfolio permissions change. A case example should identify its actual scope and remain separate from current capacity. The company should also review any process language after changing how design, estimating or construction responsibilities are organized. A useful refresh improves a buyer’s understanding; adding new neighborhood names without new substance does not make the resource more valuable.

Measure suitable conversations and project fit

The delivery review should use the same practical business definitions. Remodeling measurement should recognize a long and variable consideration process without inventing a standard sales cycle. A portfolio view, planning guide visit, fit inquiry and accepted consultation are different events. The project coordinator can record why a request was suitable or unsuitable, such as project category or an expectation outside the company’s scope. Source information provides context for evaluation, while later decisions may also depend on referrals, design discussions and other interactions.

Bring the evidence your team can approve

The starting material is approved project categories, permission cleared portfolio material, the real consultation process, coverage, project fit questions and the team’s description of how scope is developed. A useful example is an annotated remodeling project that separates the company’s contribution, client choices and any work completed by other professionals. Trojan can organize the material and identify missing explanations, while the project coordinator confirms the actual process. For the service discussion, the approved scope needs to cover the project types, design responsibilities, construction work and consultation boundaries the remodeler actually offers.

Scope the first useful resource

Trojan would begin with the kitchen feasibility journey and the contractor’s approved project preferences. The first review would cover the page plan, evidence rights, inquiry fields and account ownership. Further resources would be considered only when they add a distinct maintained customer decision.

Trojan would turn the approved brief into content, design, routing and measurement work that can be reviewed before launch. The company should know who owns each account and who approves each public claim. The scope discussion also determines whether a main website improvement should come first. The discussion should use a remodeling feasibility conversation as a concrete customer action, with responsibilities appropriate to the remodeling company.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Make the next step count.

A hundred-year-old Sears building, and why your before photos matter

Atlanta throws parties for old buildings that got a second life. Your remodel pages can borrow that feeling by showing the tired room first.

Hypothetical example How we'd rewrite a thin kitchen project page for one of your Atlanta neighborhood sites

Before

  • Beautiful kitchen remodel. Quality craftsmanship. Call us today!
  • One photo of the finished room, taken from the doorway.

After

  • This 1950s kitchen had one outlet by the sink, a soffit hiding old ductwork and no room for two cooks.
  • We moved the fridge wall eighteen inches and ran new circuits before a single cabinet went in.
  • The photos run in order: the old room, demo day, open walls, then the finished kitchen from the same spot.

The building spent sixty-one years as a Sears, Roebuck and Co. hub, from 1926 to 1987. In 2010 a developer took it on, and today the old Sears building holds homes, offices, shops and places to eat. People love that story because they can picture the before. Over on Howell Mill Road, Westside Provisions grew up around a meatpacking plant built in 1910. It's the same kind of story on a different street.

Homeowners feel that pull about their own houses. A project page that opens on the finished room skips the part people enjoy most. Start with the cramped galley kitchen and the soffit nobody could explain. Then walk through demo day, the open walls and the finished room shot from the same corner. The before photo is the one that makes a neighbor say, hey, that looks like my kitchen.

Kitchen table, showroom or video call: let the form offer each one you hold

Remodel shoppers differ in how soon they'll let a stranger inside. Offering more than one kind of first meeting keeps the shy ones from drifting away.

Ways to hold a first remodeling meeting, and what each one asks of the site
First meetingWho it suitsWhat the site asks for
In-home visitOwners ready to talk about walls, plumbing and real measurementsThe address, the rooms involved and a couple of times that work
Showroom or office visitPeople who want to touch finishes before anyone sees their messA day that suits them and the rooms on their mind
Short video callBusy owners, or anyone still deciding whether to remodel at allA phone number, an email and a photo or two of the room
Photo-first noteOwners who want a rough sense of fit before any meetingA few photos, the year the house was built and one sentence about the goal
What if our team only does in-home visits?
Then the site offers in-home visits and nothing else. We never list a meeting your team doesn't hold. A short line on why you like to see the room in person usually does more good than a menu of options.
Who gets each kind of request?
Whoever runs that kind of meeting, where the form can split them. Showroom requests could go to the person who keeps the showroom calendar, and video calls to whoever handles first chats. We'd confirm what the form can do and test every path with your office before anything launches.
Can a video call really lead to a big job?
It can lead to the in-home visit that leads to the job. Think of it as a friendly handshake for people who aren't ready to open the front door yet.
Should the form ask for photos?
Make them optional. Some owners love sending twelve pictures of a dated bathroom, and others would rather you just come look. An optional photo field gives your estimator a head start without scaring off the second group.

Pages to launch with, and pages to hold until you have the job to show

A new neighborhood site doesn't need every room type on day one. Launch with the work you can prove, then add pages as real projects wrap up.

  • One project page for each finished job you have permission to show
  • A page on how a remodel with your company unfolds, from first meeting to final cleanup
  • A license and permits page carrying the license number your office sends us
  • A page for owners of historic district homes, if your crews take that work
  • An about page with real faces from your crew and office
  • A request page that says what happens after someone presses send

Hold back the pages you can't back up yet. A whole-house page with no whole-house project behind it reads like a brochure. So does an addition page dressed up with stock photos. When your crew finishes one, we write the page from that job, and it goes live with pictures only your company could have taken.

Older houses deserve their own photo plan. Shoot the original trim before anyone pries it loose, and again once it's back on the wall. Get the porch from the sidewalk on the first morning and from the same spot at the end. A 1920s bungalow page lives or dies on whether the new work looks like it belongs.

  • Can the original trim, doors and hardware stay?
  • What happens if the crew opens a wall and finds old wiring?
  • Will the new kitchen look like it belongs in a house this old?
  • How do you protect the old floors while the work goes on?
  • Who decides what gets saved and what gets replaced?

Inside someone's home: privacy rules for every project page

Remodel photos show the inside of a family's house. A few firm rules keep clients comfortable saying yes to the camera, and they keep your pages out of trouble.

  • No house numbers, mailboxes or street signs in any shot
  • No family photos, kids' drawings or mail left on the counter
  • No window views that would let a stranger place the house
  • Name the neighborhood only when the client says that's fine
  • Ask before showing a bedroom or a bathroom, even an empty one
  • Keep the client's permission on file with the job, in writing

These rules sound fussy until a client finds their kitchen online with a street sign showing through the window. Then they sound wise. Clients who feel safe tend to say yes more often. Some will even let you shoot the ugly before photos on the first morning, which is exactly what our pages need.

We apply the same rules to the words. A project page talks about the room and what your crew did to it. It never mentions the family's jobs, their kids' names or anything they told your crew over coffee. Your lead carpenter's notes get the same quick edit before they go up.

Five questions for your lead carpenter on the last day of a job

The words that make a project page believable come from the person who opened the walls. We'd ask the same few questions after every job, and it takes about ten minutes.

  • What did the owners complain about most before we started?
  • What did you find once the old stuff came out?
  • Which change took the most thought, and why did you land where you did?
  • What would you tell the next family planning a room like this one?
  • Is there one photo you're proud of that shows the hard part?

We'd record the answers on a quick phone call, or your carpenter can send a voice memo from the truck. Nobody has to write anything. We turn the answers into a few short paragraphs, keep the carpenter's phrasing where it's good and pass the draft to them for an okay before anything is published.

The answer to the second question is usually the gold. It's where you hear about the rotten subfloor under the dishwasher or the beam somebody notched back in 1962. Those details prove a real crew did real work, and they're the lines a neighbor reads twice. Pages made from them sound like your company because, well, they are your company talking.

Which site earns the credit when a remodel takes three meetings to sell

Remodels often take a few meetings to sell. Tagging each request with its site, then following it through design and pricing, shows which neighborhoods bring real work.

Following one remodeling request from the first click to signed work
StageWhat your office notesWhat it tells you
First requestThe neighborhood site and the room they asked aboutWhich sites people reach out through
First meetingWhether it happened, and in which formatWhich sites bring people who follow through
Design or pricing meetingThe rough size of the project and any change in plansWhich neighborhoods ask for bigger rooms
Signed or passedThe outcome, plus a short reason if they passedWhere each site's pages match your real prices
After the jobWhether a project link brought a neighborWhich finished jobs keep working for you

We tag the first step. Your office carries the rest in its own system, the same one it uses today. Nobody has to learn new software to notice that one neighborhood site brings bathroom refreshes while another brings full kitchens and the occasional addition.

Give the numbers time. A family that reads your pages in March might not sign until the kids are back in school. Judge a site on its first month and you could shut down the one that was quietly filling your fall. We'd rather look at a whole season together before anyone moves money around.

What your company still holds at the end of year one

Marketplace leads end when the payments do. Before you sign with anyone, list what your company would clearly hold at the end of year one.

  • An agreement that spells out, before launch, what happens to the sites if the membership ends
  • A project page for every job you finished and chose to show
  • The request log, tagged by site and by room type
  • Your office's own notes on which finished jobs sent neighbors your way
  • Photos and crew notes, sorted by job and ready to reuse

That's why we'd rather publish eight honest project pages than eighty thin ones. A short page about a real bathroom, with the crew's notes and the owner's blessing, means more to a careful reader than a long page stuffed with remodeling words. It also ages well, since the room in the photos is real and stays real.

Put the same question to any lead seller you talk to: what do I keep if I stop paying? If the honest answer is nothing, price that into every lead they sell you. Then ask us the same question. Our agreement answers it before anything launches.

Where we stand before any Atlanta remodel goes online

Better you hear the gaps from us than find them later. We haven't built an Atlanta remodeling network yet, and here's what that means for you.

Could we click through an Atlanta kitchen page you've already made?
Not yet. We haven't built an Atlanta remodeling site, so the first kitchen page on your network would be the first one we've made here. What we can show you is how we'd build it, using one of your own finished jobs as the example.
Who picks which projects go up first?
You do. We'll suggest an order, like the jobs with the strongest before photos, but you know which clients will happily say yes and which ones would rather stay private.
Will you write about design trends?
Only the ones your designers actually work with. We'd rather describe the choices your clients really made than chase a look your crew doesn't build.

If you're not sure where to start, pick the project with the widest gap between its before and after photos. A dated room that became something your crew is proud of tells the whole story in two pictures. That's the page we'd build first, and it tends to be the one clients are happiest to share.
