Deciding what to change in a Lithonia remodel

Precision Remodeling helps Lithonia homeowners with kitchens, bathrooms, basements, staircases, painting and flooring, as well as additions and new homes. A useful first step is separating cosmetic changes from ones that alter the bones of a room. Paint, new flooring or refaced cabinets can change a space without touching pipes or wires. Moving a sink, adding a shower or relocating a range is a different kind of job.

Where your project falls affects the budget, the schedule and the paperwork. We talk it through on site, then write up the scope so you can see which items are surface work and which call for trades behind the walls.

Our estimates list the work in the order it will happen, the materials and finishes you have chosen, and allowances for anything still undecided. If you add or drop an item once work is underway, the change and its cost are put in writing before anyone goes ahead with it.

When Lithonia asks for a permit

Lithonia is in DeKalb County. The city's Building and Permitting Division reviews plans, inspects work and issues building and trade permits, and applications are filed through its online Citizen Portal. Its checklist of when a permit is needed includes fixture work that alters piping, new plumbing fixtures that require piping changes, and replacing a water heater.

Permits are issued only to contractors holding a license or to owner-occupants. An owner who applies must file a notarized homeowner affidavit, and the form points out that state law requires the owner to live in the home for two years after the work is done. If you plan to handle part of a remodel yourself, read that affidavit before you apply.
