        "text": "Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and local municipal building codes across Denver, Centennial, and Parker. Straightforward cosmetic upgrades—such as repairing drywall, mounting pre-built cabinets, and repainting—generally do not require building permits. However, if your garage interior plan involves framing new structural walls, adding dedicated electrical circuits, or installing plumbing lines, permits and inspections are necessary. Working with an experienced general contractor ensures that rough trades are properly managed and scheduled in compliance with local city guidelines.",
