And if you did it afterwards with a contractor, do they pull a building permit if it needs one (I assume it would)?

And does something like a bird cage need approval from some architectural commitee or something? Wonder how long that would take...

Just wondering...

Yes they should, and yes you do. A proper birdcage involves pouring a slab, moving sprinkler lines and heads and installing a supergutter, etc. This always requires both approval by your ARC or HOA, and the proper permits.

It is sometimes better to pay a bit more and not have headaches...companies like T&D and Brian Terry are known to be a bit more expensive but less prone to do shoddy work. They and I'm sure a few others have better reputations than some other companies.
