Questions, answered
Frequently asked about structural repairs.
Do I need a permit for a beam installation?
Usually, yes. We’ll handle the permit and inspection processes for you.
Does structural work in Lower Merion require sealed plans?
Lower Merion’s residential building-permit checklist calls for sealed or signed details for structural work, with an architectural seal acceptable on that checklist. The Township’s current residential guidance also states that plans for structural alterations must be sealed by an Architect or Professional Engineer licensed in Pennsylvania. The exact submission still depends on the defined work, so the permit packet should be confirmed with Lower Merion before filing.
Are you licensed and insured in Pennsylvania?
Yes. NK Construction & Design is a fully licensed and insured Pennsylvania general contractor. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation on every project, protecting you as the homeowner from start to finish.
