Integrity-Works Strmln Sol Inc.

A general contractor's registration covers the work of running a project rather than one trade, so Integrity-Works fits a residential remodel where a homeowner wants a single point of contact coordinating several pieces of work. Electrical and plumbing are separately licensed trades in Washington, so those parts of a job go to licensed specialists, often brought in under the general contractor. A newer registration like this one suits a homeowner comfortable working with a young business on a defined residential project, more than a large commercial development. Around Spokane, most remodeling beyond cosmetic work needs a permit. Moving or removing walls, adding a room or deck, changing windows or doors in size, re-roofing, and any new electrical, plumbing or mechanical work usually call for one, whether the job is inside Spokane city limits, in Spokane Valley or in unincorporated Spokane County. Each jurisdiction runs its own permit desk and inspections. A homeowner should expect the general contractor to pull the permit and schedule inspections, since the permit holder is the one answerable for the work meeting code. A contractor who suggests skipping the permit leaves the homeowner carrying the risk at resale or insurance time.
