MEET GRATA DOMUS

Welcome home.

Grata Domus is a boutique remodeling firm that helps you elevate your home to the place you feel most comfortable. George Cooke started Grata Domus based on his passion and lessons learned working with Atlanta homeowners for over three decades. While George has both built and remodeled homes, his true joy comes from finding and pulling the potential out of an existing home.

Grata Domus means “welcome home” in Latin. We believe your home should welcome you with its stories, colors, wisdom, and lines. Your home should welcome your friends and family with a stylish and curated sense of who you are. We’ll work until you feel it. Grata Domus.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients are saying:

“George’s design eye, constructability insights, and integrity are so strong that I never had to think twice about the process, the people in my home, or the results. His team turned something potentially stressful into an exciting and collaborative process with a spectacular finish.”

EMILY H.

“We have used George for multiple renovations because he is extremely responsive, organized, and reliable. He gives thoughtful suggestions and advice. And while he delivers a very high end product, he is aware of pricing, and pro-actively offers options when available. We always refer him to friends and family.”

KIRSTEN H.

I cannot recommend George Cooke more highly. We recently completed a renovation on our home - all while we had three small children and four dogs underfoot - George and his team handled everything with absolute professionalism, patience, and consideration to the unique needs of my family.
