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

Where Richmond remodeling permit questions start

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.

Remodeling questions from Richmond homeowners

When does Richmond say a remodeling project needs a permit?

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.

How can a Richmond home gain modern performance without losing its character?

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.

Should cosmetic and system work be separated in a Richmond proposal?

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.

What should a Richmond homeowner document before requesting a scope?

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.
