If you’ve never undertaken a kitchen remodel before, hiring a professional firm to handle the project enhances your chances of success. One of the elements many homeowners don’t take into consideration is the need for permits.
Some of the common situations where a permit is needed with a Kitchen Remodeling project include:
Structural Changes
If you’re conducting any major structural changes to the space you’ll likely need a building permit – especially when dealing with any load-bearing walls. If you’re taking down or adding any exterior walls, you’ll likely need to submit a blueprint of the intended plans.
Electrical Wiring
Any major alterations to the electrical wiring of a house will likely need a permit. This can include activities such as moving or adding lighting fixtures, installing additional outlets, or integrating a whole new network to replace an obsolete model. A certified electrician should be the only person who handles such tasks.
Plumbing
Significant changes to the kitchen plumbing such as adding a new sink or moving an existing one will require a permit. If you’re simply working on an existing network, however, you might not need such a license. An established contractor will be aware of any permit requirements beforehand, so call us today!
