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.
