HELPFUL TIPS FOR HOMEOWNERS
Homeowners, before doing any work in the Village, please make sure to check and see if you will need a building permit. If hiring a contractor, it is a good idea to get 3 estimates. Check contractor’s references and make sure they are licensed and insured. Follow up on required inspections to make sure they are done and approved.
