1.) Do you pull permits? Yes, most of the time. It really depends on the scope of the work. If it is a larger project, such as new construction, and addition, large remodel then yes. Obviously, smaller repair jobs then no
2.) How do you protect the driveway? In most instances we will use a roll off trash container but we put down plywood to protect the driveway, but with jobs that do not need a large roll off we have rubber tired dump trailers.
3.) How can I pay my invoices? Either by check or online through our Dwolla account? (Dwolla is an online, secure, safe bill pay service just like paypal, but instead of it costing us a % { which we pass onto you} of the amount paid it only cost us .25c)
4.) Why do I / You even need permits? What are they?
As defined by Wikipedia - A construction permit or building permit is a permit required in most jurisdictions for newconstruction, or adding on to pre-existing structures, and in some cases for major renovations. Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, regional, and local building codes. Failure to obtain a permit can result in significant fines and penalties, and even demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code.
5.) Why do I need to check with my HOA or POA?
Many communities, especially newer ones have covenents, restrictions, and by laws that you must adhere to precluding property owners from making changes to there homes and property that might negatively effect others. For example; many condo neighborhoods won't allow satellite dishes on the roofs, while most developments in Mount Pleasant don't allow pink flamingos, statues, boats, and cars to be in the front yard of a home. Before you get fined it is a smart idea to look at your community covenents and restrictions.
6.) Can I pay you with Paypal?
The short answer is No. The main reason is because Paypal charges the person or business receiving the funds a percentage of the transaction and as you can imagine that will add up over time with hundreds of transactions. Many of which are in the thousands of dollars. We will consider it on a case by case basis for smaller jobs like home repairs. Refer to # 3.
7.) Where and How do I make changes to the construction plan/contract?
- You must print out this change form, and add any additional requests in writing, signed and dated by you.

8.) How should I handle problems and warranties?
At or before closing we will provide you with a book/package of necessary information about your home. In this package is a list of the sub-contractors, that performed the work for each trade with their contact information, paint colors, and other important info. Your first step if there is a problem is to try the sub-contractor and/or manufacturer of the product used to build that item.
- Regarding appliances and windows - See your owners manual from the manufacturer. Please do not call us. Contact them.
- Workmanship claims - (I.E. plumbing, electrical, floors, etc.) FIRST try to contact the sub-contractor that did the work on that area/trade. If you can not reach them please do not hesitate to contact us immediately and we will do whatever we can to get it addressed and corrected as soon as possible.
