Before beginning any home remodeling or addition project, homeowners should check that their Atlanta contractor is bonded and insured. Homeowners should also check a contractor’s references and prior experience with similar home remodeling or addition projects, as well as meet any Atlanta subcontractors who will be working on their home. Be aware that not all remodeling and/or addition projects require a permit. It is important to find out if a building permit is necessary before any remodeling work is begun or you, as well as the remodeling contractor, will be subject to fines. Atlanta contractors do not need to be licensed by the state unless they are removing asbestos. The city of Atlanta requires a detailed plan be submitted for all additions and major remodels in order to obtain a building permit. This must be obtained before construction. If trees are to be removed for an addition the city arborist must give prior approval.
