Yes, on every job. West Bloomfield Township handles permitting with waterfront setback and EGLE review near the lakes. We manage local and state permits and meet inspectors on site.
Do I need permits to finish a basement?
Yes, always — for framing and electrical at minimum, plus plumbing for any bathroom work. Unpermitted basement finishing gets flagged in home inspections, can void insurance coverage for the space, and creates problems at resale. We pull every permit and handle all inspections through the certificate of occupancy.
