At Renew Design + Build, we provide complete design services to get your dreams into structural drawings that meet the requirements for both HOA review and the City of Ridgefield permit office. Our experience with Ridgefield's permitting process and local HOA requirements streamlines approval and helps avoid delays. Once construction starts, your Renew Design + Build team will take care of communications with city inspectors to schedule inspections and obtain approvals at each construction phase.
