Master Craft replaced our kitchen backsplash as well as doing electrical and plumbing work during our kitchen remodel. They did excellent work and Ed’s team was friendly, punctual and very detailed oriented. Highly recommended for all home improvement projects
Local project planning
Richmond says a permit is required for remodeling that changes a building's structure, plumbing, electrical, or heating systems. Cosmetic and trade-connected work should be separated clearly in the scope so the Village can make the project-specific determination.

Permit requirements depend on the property and final scope. The issuing authority—not this page—makes the determination.
Clear answers
Richmond requires a permit when remodeling changes a building's structure, plumbing, electrical, or heating systems. The Village should review the complete proposed scope, because a room labeled “cosmetic” may still include connected trade work.
Keep the proportions, trim relationships, openings, and adjacent materials that make sense, then improve storage, lighting, waterproofing, ventilation, and utilities behind a compatible finish plan.
Yes. Cabinet color, paint, hardware, and finish selections should be distinguished from structural, plumbing, electrical, heating, or concealed repair work. Clear categories make permit review, pricing, and change decisions easier to follow.
Photograph each affected wall and transition, note prior repairs or leaks, list materials that should remain, and explain how the household uses the room. Include the address so Village requirements can be checked against the actual property.
