Many kinds of home improvement projects require building or electrical permits in Arizona or in specific municipalities. In general, any type of new construction or replacement of a major home feature requires a permit. New construction includes not only a separate building but an addition to an existing home. The construction of a garage or an additional stall requires a permit. In regard to remote-controlled electrical Garage Door Openers Scottsdale AZ, residents may wonder about regulations. If the garage doors currently must be opened manually, does add the automatic system require a permit?
Permits are necessary for numerous changes on a property that are related to a garage. For example, many homes in the Phoenix area have carports and not garages. Converting a carport to a garage or, for that matter, a patio to a garage, requires a permit. Converting an attached garage to living space does as well. People are often surprised to learn that much smaller projects also are classified under permit regulations. The addition of electrical outlets and the replacement of a small garage window with a larger one are examples. When it comes to automatic Garage Door Openers Scottsdale AZ, residents will need that official permission to have the work done.
It’s not so much the scope of the project but the potential safety issues involved. The reason for these stringent requirements is to make sure the completed work is safe and does not violate any codes. Automatic openers have a big job, as they use electricity combined with mechanical devices to raise and lower very heavy, unwieldy objects. The equipment and its electrical wiring must be properly installed. Malfunctions can cause the door to become stuck in the closed, open, or partially descended position. Sensors are required by law to halt the descending door if anything is underneath it. Having the work done by an experienced professional is important to prevent problems. Fortunately, a contractor such as Neighborhood Garage Door Service knows which permits are needed and can obtain them for the property owner.
