Do we need to get a permit or CDD permissions to do so ?
Any other words of advice are appreciated.
*The recent thread about advice to new Villagers is of great help ! Thank you all and we hope to meet you soon.
You need a building permit and Architectural Review Approval (your responsibility not your contractors) and a good contract, make sure they have current workman’s comp insurance and liability insurance.

The project is expensive but worth it. Check several contractors including T&D and Doc’s Restoration. These may not be the cheapest and there likely will a wait to get it done, but it will be done right. There are other good contractors but also some not so ethical or qualified contractors out there.
