If performing any construction on your home or business, it’s important that the work is done properly and that the person you hire is properly licensed. We recommend you hire a licensed contractor to make the repairs to your home. The contractor should pull the permit through EPCI with any permitting fees included in the scope of work.
An unlicensed person is only permitted to “dry-in” a structure. Drying-in a structure means the use of tarps, plastic sheeting, or other temporary materials for the sole purpose of preventing further damage to the structure. All permanent repairs must be made by a licensed individual.
