Kitchen Permits and Inspections

Permit paperwork and inspection scheduling handled for you, so your remodel stays organized and on the record.

Permits are not glamorous, but they matter. Electrical changes, plumbing relocations, structural work and gas lines generally involve a permit and an inspection somewhere in the Nashville area, and the specific rules vary by city and county. Handling that paperwork correctly protects you when you sell, insure or refinance the home, and it means a second set of eyes has checked work you will never see again behind drywall.

We figure out which permits your scope requires, prepare the applications and drawings, and schedule inspections at the right moments, such as rough-in before the walls close and final at completion. We keep copies in your project file and coordinate trades so inspectors find the work ready. We do not guess at rules. Requirements differ among Metro Nashville and nearby cities, so we check with the local office and tell you what we learn in plain language.
