Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for interior remodeling in Mount Lebanon?

Yes, if structural changes, electrical or plumbing work, or new windows are involved. Interior finishes like painting or replacing flooring without structural changes typically don't require a permit. We confirm what's needed during the planning phase.

How long do building permits take in Mount Lebanon?

Residential building permits are typically issued within 15 business days of submission. Zoning permits (for decks, sheds, driveways) take up to 30 days. We submit complete applications and follow up with the Inspections Office to keep your project on track.

What happens if I find asbestos or lead during demolition?

We stop work, document findings, and arrange for certified abatement if required. An abatement certificate is then submitted with your final permit inspection. Older Mount Lebanon homes built before 1980 often contain these materials, and we handle them safely and legally.

Are there restrictions on deck placement near property lines?

In R-1 and R-2 zoning districts, decks must be at least 7 feet from a property line. A deck permit requires two copies of your property survey marked with the deck location. We handle all the surveying and permitting details for your deck builder project.

Do I need inspection when the project is finished?

Yes. A final inspection by the Mount Lebanon building inspector is required before you can occupy the space. Third-party electrical and plumbing inspections also must be signed off. We coordinate all inspections and obtain your certificate of occupancy.
