Home improvement and structural projects in Asheville must comply with local municipal codes and state regulations. Major renovations, roof replacements, and trade work require oversight through the City of Asheville Development Services Department, located at 161 South Charlotte Street. Since Hurricane Helene, the city has continued major infrastructure investment, including a new water transmission line designed to route supply away from flood-prone areas and ongoing repairs at Bee Tree Reservoir, expected to complete in fall 2026. In addition to municipal permitting, trade contractors must meet North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors requirements — a state license is required for any project valued at $40,000 or more. HandVetted verifies state licensing, verifies general liability insurance, and confirms local business registration before matching providers with Asheville residents.
