Preparing for the Installation
A door installation team will need a clear path between their vehicle and the door, so make sure your driveway or walkway is free of obstacles. Keep pets and kids out of the way, as they may be curious about doors, tools, and installation activities. Also, be sure to prepare your new door for installation by painting or staining it according to your desired style and filling screw holes. This will give the final product a polished look.
Getting Permits
Many jurisdictions have specific guidelines on when a permit is needed for renovations. It’s important to check with your local government on this issue before beginning a project, because it may require you to submit detailed plans and structural calculations for approval. If you do need a permit, make sure to apply for it well ahead of time so that the work can be completed in a timely manner.
Reece can help clarify whether a permit is necessary based on the specifics of each installation, including any structural changes to an existing opening. They can also assist with the permit application process, ensuring that all documentation is submitted correctly. Additionally, they can liaison with local authorities on behalf of homeowners, ensuring that any issues are resolved quickly and efficiently. Finally, they can offer guidance on inspections throughout the installation process, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations. This can include framing inspections if the existing door frame is being changed, as well as final inspections once construction is complete.
