Common questions

Who handles permits?

Ask your contractor to list applicable permits, who applies and who schedules inspections. Requirements depend on the work and the municipality.

How far in advance should I start?

Begin planning a few months ahead of a preferred start. Cabinet lead times, design decisions, permits and contractor availability can affect the schedule.

What needs to change at your house?

Start with the room, the city and what you want to change.
