I'm jumping around a little while I get my feet wet with blogging again, but I've had a lot of conversations lately with people about if getting a permit is necessary or if it's not worth the "hassle."
Before the pandemic, I was a home inspector. So, seeing work and hearing from homeowners about skirting the inspection process makes me incredibly nervous. Are there things that can be done without an inspection? Of course! But those are largely determined by your municipality. Are there things that should always have a second look? Yes! I also know some municipalities don't really have a permitting process. For those areas, please get a second set of professional eyes -sales inspector, another contractor, friend who has worked in facilities management and is really knowledgeable- to double check what is happening in your home.
