Planning a project? Should you pull a permit?

We encourage the homeowner to be responsible for pulling the permits for the project. This does a few of things. First, the permit would be in the homeowner’s name. This provides empowerment to the homeowner. Second, it can save the customer money. And third, if a contractor pulls the permits, it’s all in that contractor’s name. If for whatever reason the homeowner has to dismiss a contractor from the project, and that contractor had pulled permits for the job, new permits would have to be pulled in order to complete the project. This will delay the project and cost more to the customer. When the permits are in the customer’s name, no major delays or additional costs will be endured. Project can proceed with a slight delay in locating a new contractor.
