Potts Construction LLC.

Rathdrum sits on the north side of the prairie between Post Falls and Spirit Lake, and that is where Potts Construction is anchored. As a general contractor, it falls under the trade that coordinates a project from start to finish rather than handling a single piece of it. Its registration is with Idaho only, so its work stays on the Idaho side of the line. A homeowner in Rathdrum or the surrounding Kootenai County towns is the natural fit for a local outfit like this one. Across Coeur d'Alene-area jurisdictions, including the City of Rathdrum and Kootenai County for unincorporated land, most general-contractor work beyond cosmetic updates needs a building permit. That covers additions, garages and shops, decks above grade, structural changes such as moving walls or enlarging windows, and new or altered electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems, which carry their own permits and inspections. Snow load and frost depth matter here, and inspections at footing, framing and final stages are how the jurisdiction checks them. Expect the contractor to pull the permit in the business's name and be present for inspections. When a contractor suggests the homeowner pull it instead, responsibility for the work shifts onto the owner of the house.
