Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle permit filing for restoration and ADU projects?

Yes. We manage the entire permit process with the City and County of Sacramento, from preparing plans and applications to submitting documents and coordinating inspections for both restoration rebuilds and ADU builds.

Will I need permits for fire or water damage restoration?

Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical repairs require permits. During your assessment we identify exactly which permits your project needs and file them on your behalf to keep the work code-compliant.

How long does the permit process take in Sacramento?

Timelines vary by project scope and jurisdiction workload. Simple repairs may be approved in days, while ADUs or major rebuilds can take several weeks. We help expedite by submitting complete, accurate applications.

Are permit fees included in your project pricing?

Permit and plan-check fees are set by the local jurisdiction and are typically itemized separately from our labor and materials. We provide a clear estimate so you know these costs upfront.

Do you coordinate permits when working with my insurance carrier?

Absolutely. We document permitted work and required inspections, and we share that information with your insurance carrier to support your claim and ensure the restoration is properly recorded.
