[quote=Anonymous]I would get more quotes.  Like the above poster said are they using licensed people? That # sounds insane to me.

I don’t mess with gas, plumbing, or electrical.  Get professionals and get permits for that!  Some stuff you don’t need permits for but look on the DC website or call and talk to all the different departments.

I had work done and wanted permits.  The electrical people, plumbing, and gas people
Handed.  It was a couple extra hundred each permit extra which was annoying but oh well.  Then when I had another contractor put in flooring (after the other work was done), I wanted a permit for that but that contractor has a license and insurance but told me to do the permit on my own and put him and his info down as a subcontractor.  I had to go up the building, talk to the people and do work but it was fine.  We got the permit but it was not for anything major.  Honestly you need to be careful with gas, electrical, plumbing, etc.  maybe you’ll only need a permit for gas if you move the stove or turn the gas off and won’t need a permit for anything else depending on the rules but you’ll need to figure that out.

Ask friends and colleagues for other names and get more quotes!  I’m happy we have the permits to be honest since I don’t know if we will live here forever and it’s also peace of mind.  [/quote]
