        "text": "Kitchen refresh projects in Denver, Centennial, and Parker must comply with regional building departments when modifying utility lines or structural framing. While purely cosmetic work like painting cabinets, replacing trim, or laying floor tile rarely triggers a permit, foreclosed homes often conceal unpermitted DIY work from previous owners. If your refresh involves moving an electric range, relocating supply pipes, running new branch circuits, or shifting load-bearing partitions, local jurisdictions require trade permits and inspections. Coordinating licensed trades through an established local contractor ensures any unpermitted legacy work is brought to code smoothly.",
