Permitting and home safety are synonymous. Licensed in 30 Bay Area cities including unincorporated areas, we are here to help you navigate all the complexities of permitting.

Permitting costs include (1) cost due to your city and (2) our permit preparation fee:

  1. Permit costs due to the city / town vary and are generally impacted by: (a) project valuation (labor+materials), (b) scope of work (e.g., NEMA vs. hardwired for EV chargers).
  2. We charge a flat $175 permit preparation fee. This fee will be invoiced upon acceptance of project quote and is due before we begin your permit application.
