The short answer: If you’re planning any structural changes like adjusting your plumbing, HVAC, or layout you’ll likely need a permit, depending on your municipality’s rules. But don’t worry we’ve got this part covered for you.
Each city has its own set of guidelines about what needs a permit, and it’s important to make sure everything is up to code before the work begins. That’s where we come in. At CNG Contracting, we’re experienced with the permit process and we’ll handle all the paperwork and approvals so you don’t have to stress about it.
Permits are usually required if your renovation includes:
Structural changes or adding/removing walls
Modifying plumbing, HVAC, or electrical systems
Excavation, underpinning, or adding insulation
Changing the use of the space (like turning storage into a living area)
Installing or altering windows, doors, stairs, chimneys, or fireplaces
Once your project is underway, a building inspector may visit to ensure everything aligns with the approved plans and safety standards. We also have our own quality control coordinator who checks in regularly to keep everything running smoothly and up to standard.
Here’s how we make it easy for you:
We’ll start by visiting your home to take accurate measurements and assess the structure. From there, we create detailed drawings and plans, everything your local municipality needs to approve your permit. Then we handle the submission and follow-up until we get the green light.
Why is this important? Following the correct zoning rules and safety codes prevents future delays, costly changes, or even demolition. Skipping permits can lead to steep fines, and nobody wants that.
With CNG Contracting, you can relax knowing we’re doing it right from the start.

At CNG Contracting, quality isn’t just a promise, it’s our standard. That’s why every basement we renovate comes with a lifetime transferable warranty. What does that mean for you? Peace of mind now, and long-term value later. If you ever decide to sell your home, the warranty stays with the basement and transfers to the new owner. It’s just one more way we add lasting value to your investment.
Unfortunately, not every contractor offers this kind of commitment. Some only provide what’s known as a “tail light warranty” coverage that disappears the moment they drive away. That leaves you vulnerable if anything goes wrong down the line.
Your home deserves more than that. With CNG, you’re covered for the long haul because we believe solid work deserves solid protection.

In most cases, you won’t need to move out while we work on your basement. Since the renovation happens in a separate area of your home, and the power usually stays on, you can comfortably stay right where you are. In fact, being home can be a big advantage. It makes it easier to see the progress for yourself, communicate directly with our team, and make any quick decisions or changes. Plus, your home stays secure with someone present, especially during hours when our crew isn’t on site.
That said, there are a few things to consider:
If electrical work requires us to shut off the power for a longer period, it might be more convenient to arrange temporary accommodation.
Families with young children or pets may find the noise and activity a bit disruptive to daily routines. While we take strong measures to reduce dust, if someone in your household has asthma or respiratory sensitivities, it might be worth planning ahead for their comfort.
We’ll keep you informed every step of the way so you can decide what’s best for your household. At CNG Contracting, our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, for your family and your home.
