Home improvement and structural projects in Winston-Salem must comply with local municipal codes and state regulations. Major renovations, roof replacements, and trade work require oversight through the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Division, a division of the Planning and Development Services Department that handles building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits for the city and unincorporated Forsyth County alike (with the exception of High Point, Kernersville, and King, which maintain their own permitting). 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 Winston-Salem residents.
