Kanna Construction & Remodeling understands the importance of proper permitting for kitchen remodels. Here’s what you need to know about permits for your kitchen renovation project:
Permit requirements vary depending on your location and the scope of your kitchen remodel. While cosmetic changes like painting walls or replacing countertops usually don’t require permits, structural changes almost always do.
Structural Changes Requiring Permits
- Moving or removing load-bearing walls
- Relocating plumbing for sinks or dishwashers
- Extensive electrical rewiring or updating of the outlets
- Making changes to gas lines
- Adding or expanding HVAC connections and ventilation systems
Cosmetic Changes Often Not Requiring Permits
- Repainting walls or cabinets
- Replacing countertops with similarly sized ones
- Replacing like-for-like appliances
- Installing new flooring
Why Permits Matter
Permits ensure safety and code compliance, increase your home’s resale value, and help avoid legal issues. Kanna Construction & Remodeling can guide you through the permit process, ensuring your kitchen remodel meets all local building codes and requirements.
Permit Process
First, submit an application with project plans. The next step is to await a plan review and approval. Then, schedule inspections at key construction phases. Lastly, you will receive final approval and inspection.
