Permitting Peace of Mind

We don't just install windows; we protect your investment. Our team handles the entire permitting process from application to final inspection, ensuring your project is 100% compliant.

Why Compliance is Your Best Investment

A building permit isn't just a formality—it is a critical document that protects your financial and legal interests. Here is how proper compliance benefits you:

💰

Protect Your Resale Value

The Benefit:

A finalized permit acts as a "Certificate of Quality" that assures future buyers the work was done to code.

The Risk Reality: Unpermitted work is a major red flag during home inspections. It can kill a sale, force you to lower your asking price, or require you to pay for expensive retrofits during escrow.

Guarantee Insurance Coverage

The Benefit:

Pulling a permit ensures your homeowners insurance policy remains valid for the renovated areas of your home.

The Risk Reality: In the event of fire or structural damage, insurance providers can deny claims if they discover the windows or doors involved were installed without a valid permit.

Unbiased Quality Control

The Benefit:

The city inspector acts as your unbiased advocate, double-checking that our installation meets all safety and energy standards.

The Risk Reality: Without a permit, you have no official verification that safety requirements (like fire egress) or Title 24 energy standards were actually met.

Our Streamlined Permit Process

We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.

1
Application

We prepare the site plans, fill out the city forms, and pay the initial fees on your behalf.

2
Issuance

Once the city approves the plans, they issue the "Job Card." We post this at your home when installation begins.

3
Installation

Our installers follow the approved plans exactly, ensuring all flashing, sealing, and fastening meets code.

4
Inspection

We coordinate with the city inspector to come sign off on the work. You get the finalized permit for your records.

Living in an HOA? We Help With That Too.

Homeowners Associations often have strict architectural guidelines regarding window styles, frame colors, and grid patterns. We are experienced in navigating HOA requirements.

  • We can provide specific product specs and samples for board approval.
  • We ensure the "Retrofit" or "New Construction" style matches community standards.
  • We can coordinate installation hours to abide by community noise rules.

Common Questions

Q: How much do permits cost?

A: Permit fees vary by city and project value. During your consultation, we will provide an estimate of the city fees for your specific location.

Q: Do I have to be home for the inspection?

A: Yes, the city inspector usually requires access to the interior of the home to verify smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors (a state requirement when pulling permits). We will help schedule a window that works for you.

Q: What if my old windows were unpermitted?

A: Don't worry. Replacing them with permitted, code-compliant windows typically corrects the issue moving forward and brings your home back into compliance.
