Straight answers

Can I really pull my own permit?

In many cities, yes — as an owner-builder working on your own home. Water heaters, panel upgrades, reroofs, and EV chargers are the most common homeowner-pulled permits. We check your city's rule before we file, so there's no guessing.

What does the $125 cover?

Everything on our side: the application, document prep, same-day filing, and tracking it through the city to issuance. City permit fees are separate and passed through at cost — never marked up.

What if my city needs a licensed contractor?

Some cities require a license holder for certain work (HVAC changeouts are the big one). If that's your job, we'll tell you upfront — and match you with a verified local pro through our network instead.

How fast is "same-day"?

We file the day your documents are complete — most simple permits go in within hours. The city's review time is theirs, but simple permits in our easy-permit cities are often issued same-day or next-day.

Stop waiting on the permit.

File it today. Call your installer tomorrow.
