Swapping a faucet? No permit. Moving a drain, replacing a shower valve, adding an outlet, changing the layout? Yes — plumbing, electrical, and sometimes building permits. Here's the plain-English version.
When you need one
Any plumbing that moves or gets replaced behind walls · any new electrical · structural changes · new exhaust fans venting outside. Basically: every real remodel.
Why cheap contractors skip it
Permits mean inspections, and inspections catch shortcuts. That's the whole story. The "savings" land on you later: failed home sales, denied insurance claims, and demo to expose uninspected work.
True cost of no permit: buyers' attorneys routinely demand $5K–$15K credits — or full rework — when unpermitted bathrooms surface at closing.
How it works with us
We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet the inspector — it's included in your fixed price. You do nothing except approve the finish date.
