It depends on the project and the local jurisdiction. Roof replacement, water heater swaps, electrical panel work, and structural changes typically require permits in most Virginia municipalities, while like-for-like minor repairs often don't. Permit rules and fees vary by city and county, so confirm with the local building department — and make sure whoever you hire includes permitting in their written scope rather than leaving it to you.

Verify the license number with the Virginia licensing authority, ask for a current certificate of insurance naming general liability and workers' compensation, and get references from jobs completed in the South Suffolk area within the last year. A reputable pro provides all three without hesitation.

Policies generally cover sudden, accidental damage — a storm-damaged roof or a burst pipe — but not wear-and-tear or long-deferred maintenance. Coverage terms, deductibles, and exclusions vary widely by carrier and policy, especially in Virginia. Document damage with photos immediately, review your specific policy, and get an independent repair quote before assuming what your claim should cover.
