Checking with the city before we start
Permits in Luling come from the city's Building Inspection office. Its list names work like structural, electrical, plumbing, roofing and fencing. Floor coatings aren't named, and that doesn't mean your job is in the clear, so I don't guess. The city asks owners to check with it before starting when a project's permit needs aren't clear, and that's what I do before we set a date.
If the city says a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy. The city sends plan reviews and inspections to an engineering firm it works with, so a permitted job takes more lead time, and we plan the start around that. When you're comparing contractors, ask each one who handles the city and whether they're insured.
- Ask any floor contractor whether they've checked with the city about your job.
- We're fully licensed and insured, and our own crew does the work.
- The city's permit form expects a clean job site, and we work that way.
