Why Permitting and Inspections Matter in Construction and Roofing

When starting a construction or roofing project, it’s easy to get excited about the finished product whether it’s a new roof, home addition, or full remodel. But behind every successful project is a solid foundation of planning, and that starts with permits and inspections. At Feliciano Construction and Roofing, we believe that taking the right steps from the beginning protects your investment, your safety, and your peace of mind.

Building permits aren’t just formalities, they’re an official approval issued by your local municipality that allows construction work to proceed. Building permits are essential to our construction and roofing process because we like to guarantee our projects maintain public safety, establish standards, complies with relevant building codes and laws, and prevent costly fines or delays to a construction or roofing project. Permits are required for most structural changes such as, roof replacements, home additions, electrical upgrades and plumbing work, home remodels, and even new windows and doors that alter the structure of a home.

After permits are issued and work begins, construction inspections are scheduled at key stages to ensure everything meets code. Inspections are conducted by certified inspectors from your local building department and may include inspections such as foundation, framing, electrical and plumbing, and your final inspection. Each inspection is a checkpoint that ensures your project is safe, up to code, and being completed the right way.

Skipping permits or inspections might save time in the short term, but it can lead to serious consequences such as, failed home inspections during a sale, denied insurance claims, fines or stop-work orders, and unsafe construction.
