Unpermitted Deck Permit

Legalize unpermitted decks — as-built structural certification, footing/ledger/railing verification, and corrections.

The Challenge

Unpermitted decks are common but risky — without engineering, footings, ledger connections, and railings may not meet code, creating safety liability and blocking resale. Code enforcement can require legalization or removal.

How QuiPermit Helps

QuiPermit engineers the as-built documentation and corrections to legalize your unpermitted deck, then works with the building department to bring it into compliance.

The Process

1) As-built deck assessment. 2) Sealed structural certification (footings, ledger, railing). 3) Correction plans for non-compliant elements. 4) Submit and legalize.

What's Typically Required

As-built deck drawings, sealed structural certification, footing/ledger/railing verification, and correction plans where needed.

Typical Cost
