Bradenton & Sarasota Home Remodeling
& Renovation Services

Permit requirements depend on the project scope and local jurisdiction. In Southwest Florida, most structural changes, electrical work, plumbing, roofing, and additions typically require permits from your city or county building department. Cosmetic updates like painting and cabinet refacing often do not. With a licensed Florida general contractor on our team, Joshua Scott Homes coordinates applicable permitting and project requirements as part of the project process when required by the project scope and jurisdiction. Certain portions of a project may require appropriately licensed specialty professionals, such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, engineering, or other regulated trades, depending on the project scope.
