A remodel lives or dies on sequencing. Demolition, rough-in, inspection, drywall, finish - each stage gates the next, and a crew that books trades out of order is why projects stall for weeks with nothing happening on site.
Permits are pulled before anything is opened up. Work done without them surfaces at resale, when an inspector flags unpermitted square footage and the sale stalls.
Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
What the job includes
- Design and layout planning
- Permit filing and inspections
