Do I need to get a permit for this job?
Permits play a big role in the construction and remodeling business. It’s very important to get a permit for major renovations or new build-outs. There are some small renovations that you do not need to get a permit, however, be aware that even without the requirement of a permit, sometimes there may be setbacks and other zoning requirements that may still apply. Therefore, before you build make sure you get a permit.
Lack of a permit may attract fines as well as remediation from the county, whoever pulls the permit will be responsible for carrying out its requirements. At SR Home Improvements we pull the permits required for every job requires permit.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO GET PERMITS?
Most contractors or architects can obtain the necessary permits for your new construction or remodel project. At SR Home Improvements, we take care of all of the required permits and inspections for our clients. We draft all of the designs, submit everything to the county, get approvals and inspections scheduled. That way you (our client) do not have to worry about any issues related to your construction or remodeling project.
WHAT IS YOUR PROCESS OF A JOB FROM START TO FINISH?
Every project is different. But we at SR Home Improvements begin by making an appointment with the client and seeing the project. We talk about the wants and needs of the client and see what the best approach to the project is. After reviewing the project. we present a proposal to the client, which involves all the design, materials, and price. Once the client has accepted our offer, we coordinate with the client how and who will manage the project. For instance, if the client needs to meet with the architect or designer before the project begins, we coordinate everything. Once everything is in place the client signs our written proposal, and then we pull the permits required, once we have all the permits needed, we begin the project.
There are many variables to each project and every project is different. We approach them individually.
The walk-through is an opportunity for you (the client) to go over the project with our project manager and check the entire work that has been done.
In the final walk-through we check all of the items, and we go over the entire project. Once you check everything, we check with you and we give you a complete signup sheet for you to sign.
Of course, if there is something that we have missed during final walk-through, we will be happy to come back and take care of it for you without questions asked.
