Additions & remodels

What to look for

• You need a permit (you almost certainly do)
• Walls you're not sure are load-bearing
• A plan that touches plumbing, electrical and framing at once

Call a pro when

• All of it. Get the contract in writing with a payment schedule.

Need a pro for this?

1. What are you adding or changing?
2. Do you have plans or drawings?
3. Rough budget range?

Have these ready and the call takes two minutes.
