Great-Room Openings

Do you pull a permit to remove a wall?+
Yes. Structural openings are permitted and inspected. We coordinate the engineer and the city.

Not directly. Knockdown and orange-peel texture shows through most papers, so we skim coat, sand, and prime first. Prep is priced as its own line.
