What permits are required for a full home remodel in Marin County?

It depends on your city and the extent of work, but generally speaking, any full home remodel in Marin County will require building permits. You may also need a planning department review, grading approvals, or fire safety clearance, depending on where you live. Running those permits is one of our specialties.

How do I choose the right residential contractor in Marin County?

You want to select a licensed and insured general contractor in Marin County that has a history of building. The geography, zoning laws, and architectural standards are unlike many areas of California, and contractors from outside of Marin typically fall short. Experience is key, as is clear communication and transparency.
