Decks
Attached and freestanding decks and porch rebuilds.
What the city usually wants

Residential improvements and accessory structures across central Ohio.
Patios
Patios at grade, covered patios, and pergolas.
Fences
Privacy, picket, chain link, aluminum, and vinyl fencing.
What the city usually wants
Fence rules vary the most between municipalities: height limits, which side faces out, corner-lot sight triangles, and whether an HOA has to approve first. Getting this wrong is the top reason fences get flagged.
Start this permitSheds and detached garages
Storage sheds, detached garages, workshops, gazebos, and pool houses.
What the city usually wants
Small sheds may skip the building permit but still need zoning approval for placement. Larger structures need full plans, footers, and electrical permits if wired.
Start this permitSwimming pools
In-ground and above-ground pools, spas, and the barriers around them.
What the city usually wants
Pools need building, electrical, and often plumbing permits, plus a barrier plan that meets code. Many municipalities inspect the fence before the pool can be filled.
Start this permitRoofing
Re-roofs and roof replacement.
What the city usually wants
One of the highest-volume residential permits in central Ohio, and one of the easiest to forget. Most jurisdictions require one.
Start this permitSiding
Siding replacement and exterior cladding.
What the city usually wants
Easy to overlook, and most jurisdictions require one. An unpermitted job can surface when the house sells.
Start this permitWindows
Window and exterior door replacement.
What the city usually wants
Most jurisdictions require one. Skipping it can surface when the house sells.
Start this permitDriveways and parking pads
New and widened driveways, parking pads, and approaches.
What the city usually wants
Anything that touches the right-of-way needs a curb cut or approach permit from the city or county engineer, separate from the zoning approval for the pad itself.
