        "text": "Permits are generally required whenever a home improvement project alters the structural framing, electrical wiring, or plumbing lines of a house. Simple cosmetic updates—such as interior painting, replacing moldings, patching drywall, or swapping out existing tile surfaces—rarely need municipal building permits. However, room additions, basement finishes, and knocking down load-bearing walls must comply with local municipal building codes across the Denver metro area. A licensed general contractor reviews your design plans and arranges permits before demolition begins to ensure full code compliance.",
