Derek Cole explains why his company pulls permits for every installation. Permits ensure work meets building and energy codes through third-party inspection, and they protect both homeowner and contractor if an insurance claim comes up later.
We pull permits on every install we do because that is what the state law requires us to do. And if you read your insurance policy, it's going to be what they require you to do. They don't want anybody working on your house that is an unlicensed contractor and then not getting inspected by the code enforcement department of that city or state, county, whatever you have. So it's really about safety too. I mean, yes, that has to be done. Then again, yes, we have been installing stuff for 60+ years, but you want to make sure it's up to code, is up to energy standards, is done correctly. You have a third set of eyes looking at it, a third party looking at it and saying, yes, it's good to go, or no, you need to do this and this to bring it up to code. Because a lot of code things are really energy safety items that need to be paid attention to. And hey, we're not perfect. We make mistakes. We got to go back and fix things every now and then. We try not to, but y'all, me and this company, you always want a third party to come behind you and look at it to make sure it's done right. And two, if anything were to happen and your homeowner's insurance said, hey, who was working on your house? It was this contractor. He got this permit. It was inspected here. We're good to go.
