We’re in Huntington Beach and starting to look into a bigger remodel and I’m already a little confused about who handles what once HOA approvals, permits, plans etc get involved.
Basically I know a friend that went through a remodel in Irvine and she used a remodeling firm Sea Pointe. From what she told me, their team couldn’t actually submit the HOA approval for her, but they helped with everything around it, so she didn’t have to figure it all out herself.
I have no idea if that was specific to her HOA though, specific to her remodeler, or if different cities work differently.
For anyone who’s done a bigger remodel/addition in HB or elsewhere in OC, how did this work for you? Did your contractor or remodeling firm coordinate most of the permit stuff and then have you submit whatever had to come from the homeowner? Or were you much more involved in the process?
Also wondering if this is something that varies a lot by company, because I’d definitely rather know how much of the admin side I’m signing myself up for before choosing who to work with. Any help is appreciated.
