By having the work done by licensed contractors and inspected by certified building officials, you can rest easy knowing the work was done correctly.

Please remember that it’s always easier to ask a question first and not after something goes wrong.


Why is it a good idea to permit projects at your home/business?

1. Adds value to your home, and you will always have a record of work completed by a licensed contractor, plumber, and/or electrician.
2. Protect your property from unethical contractors who may try to take advantage of you.
3. If you are selling your home, permits are public record that your projects were completed safely and correctly.
