Do I need a permit for exterior door installation in Southside Place?

Permit rules in Southside Place are set by the city, and they differ from the unincorporated parts of Harris County. Cosmetic work like painting rarely needs one; structural, plumbing and electrical work often does. We confirm what your scope requires before starting.

Can you handle other work while you are here?

Yes, and it usually saves you money: once a crew is set up at your Southside Place home, adjacent painting, carpentry or repair work goes on the same scope instead of paying for a second mobilization.

Do you take on small exterior door installation jobs?

Yes, and we quote them the same way everywhere in Harris County: in writing after a look, so a small job never turns into a surprise invoice.
