How Much Do Building Permits Cost?

• <div><p>The national average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">cost of a building permit</a> is about <b>$1,600</b>, but this number includes extensive renovations. Homeowners typically spend between <b>$150</b> and <b>$2,000 </b>in general on one or multiple permits for their project. Conversely, permits for simple projects, such as minor electrical renovations, could cost as little as <b>$10</b>.</p></div>

Does building up or building out provide more ROI?

• <div><p>Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI—up to 65%—than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It’s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to hire a hardscape contractor?

• <div><p>In most cases, the cost of hiring a hardscape contractor is a worthwhile investment. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-hardscaping-benefit-my-lawn-and-landscape.htm">Hardscaping projects</a> can get quite expensive, but they improve the utility of your yard, boost your curb appeal, and usually improve the value of your home. Patios, decks, retaining walls, and other components are challenging to install, and mistakes can be costly. Hiring a hardscape professional is usually the best course of action when it comes to these types of projects.</p></div>

Q: How long does a garage conversion take?

• <div><p>A garage conversion typically takes between four and eight weeks, depending on the garage&rsquo;s size and the project&rsquo;s complexity. For a detached garage conversion, you may not experience much impact on daily life while it&rsquo;s under construction, whereas an attached garage conversion can disrupt daily life quite significantly, given its proximity to the rest of your living space. </p></div>

Q: What part of the house takes the longest to build?

• <div><p>Framing tends to be the longest step in the construction process, especially for larger homes. It takes anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the house size, the number of people on the construction crew, and the time of year. The design stage often takes a long time, too. Some people spend months or even years contemplating their house&rsquo;s size, layout, and materials before construction begins.</p></div>

Excellent. Wonderful transformation of my rental property. Very detail oriented and great to work with. I also had them do siding, windows and remodel on another building of mine. They are problem solvers and take the initiative to solve any unexpected situations that arise.
