Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Phoenix?
Most kitchen remodels that change electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or structural elements require permits and, in many cases, plan review. Cosmetic updates (like paint or swapping a similar appliance) may not, but we verify scope with the City before work begins.
Plan review and permit submittals for additions/remodels
Inspections scheduled per phase (rough-in to final)
Over-the-counter vs. review timeline depends on scope
We prepare drawings and checklist items the City requests
How do I verify a contractor’s license and the right license class?
Arizona contractors must be licensed with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (AZ ROC), and license classifications define what work they can legally perform. We encourage clients to check license status, bond, and any complaints before hiring.
Confirm license status and classification (e.g., residential remodeling)
Review bond and complaint history
Hire firms that self-perform or manage subs with proper licenses
Are there lead-based paint rules for pre‑1978 homes?
Yes—if paint is disturbed in pre-1978 homes, the EPA’s Renovation, Repair & Painting (RRP) Rule requires certified firms and lead-safe practices. We evaluate age, scope, and testing needs up front to protect your family and keep the project compliant.
Lead-safe work practices and containment when required
Certified firm/renovators for covered activities
Clear communication about testing and recordkeeping
Phoenix has adopted the 2024 Phoenix Building Construction Code (PBCC) with local amendments, which references current I-Codes and NEC/UPC/IPC standards. We design and build to the code set that’s in effect for your permit date and jurisdiction.
Current PBCC adoption and effective dates
Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and energy code compliance
What inspections should I expect during the remodel?
Typical residential kitchen projects include rough inspections (framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical) and a final inspection when finishes are complete. We sequence work to pass inspections cleanly and keep the schedule moving.
Rough-in inspections before closing walls
Final inspection for life-safety and code compliance
We coordinate access and inspector notes/resolutions
Are there county requirements that could affect an interior remodel?
Most interior kitchen remodels are governed by your city, but county rules may apply if you disturb soil (exterior utilities/additions) or create dust. In Maricopa County, Rule 310 may require dust control measures and permits for certain site activities.
Scope review to determine if county approvals are triggered
Dust control planning for exterior grading/utility trenching
We follow county guidance and coordinate permits if needed
Will you handle paperwork, scheduling, and communication with the City?
Yes—we prepare drawings/checklists, submit for permits, coordinate inspections, and keep you updated at each milestone. Our goal is a smooth process with code-compliant installs, clear timelines, and minimal disruption to your home life.
Permit applications, plan review responses, and revisions

Chris Shipley is amazing. Attention to detail, organized, honest and above all a true professional. He completely remodeled our home in Phoenix. Any problems that occurred were explained thoroughly and his suggestions were spot on. He completed the project in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him for any size project.
Chris Shipley and his team are awesome. Chris has a big heart for family, is super knowledgeable and rich in experience. He is a big problem solver which comes in handy on projects. If you have a renovation or build out or tenant improvements, I recommend reaching out to Shipley & Sons Construction. You'll be in great hands.
I did a full kitchen and family room remodel with Chris at Shipley and Sons, and I cannot give enough praise for the amazing work. Chris is very professional and well skilled in his work. He also didn't mind all my last-minute changes and worked around me, my husband, and all of our animals. Quality work & key for detail. I would highly recommend Shipley and Sons.
Shipley and Sons did some cabinet work for our dental office and the team was extremely professional. There were plenty of product color options and the quality of the work was excellent. We will use them again for any future projects.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest quality work! Chris is extremely professional, punctual and takes pride in his work! Love our new bedroom and bar! Will use for all future projects! Refreshing to find honest and superior work!
Chris and his crew at Shipley Construction did a build out on my offices in Peoria AZ. On time, clean worksite, and passed all inspections on schedule. Flooring, offices, HVAC, electrical, and bathrooms—everything was handled professionally with weekly updates. Thanks guys!
I have worked with Shipley and Sons in both a remodel of my own primary bath but also as an interior designer for one of his whole house projects. ***** sets the standards for workmanship, caring and attention to detail. His openness and integrity regarding all aspects of the job help to make projects that can be stressful seem easier. He is flexible when needed and takes on any issues or concerns in a caring and concise way. His work as well as his sub contractors work is impeccable. I would highly recommend ***** for any project!
From beginning to end the contractor exceeded expectations. All Bids were complete, reviewed completely and submitted in timely manner. Consideration was given to the process and cost. The expertise of the contractor ensured the job was done correctly meeting all engineering inspections without issue.
Chris Shipley and his side kick "Chris" hit the nail on the head! (Literally) Attention to detail, talked us through the process; and showed complete, professional concern regarding the work we asked of them. No task was considered 'finished' unless we were happy with the results. Both gentlemen were very thoughtful and took pride in their work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Amazing job and attention to detail! We absolutely love our kitchen and working with Chris was amazing. He answered any questions we had at any time. Calls back/follows up regularly and timely. We love our kitchen! I think the pics speak for themselves!
Chris and his team at Shipley & Sons Construction have completed 3 remodeling projects on our Scottsdale home and to say we have been completely satisfied is an understatement. Their workmanship, honesty and diligence to perform quality work at a fair price has kept us coming back to them for each of our projects. We look forward to working with Chris again soon on our next home update adventure. Thanks Chris!
Shipley and Sons Construction did an excellent job on our kitchen. We were nervous about taking on a huge project and finding the right company for the job, but Shipley and Sons was definitely the right company for us. They were very professional, good natured, and did above and beyond work on our kitchen. It turned out better than we had hoped. If we have projects in the future, we won't hesitate to go with this company again!
The entire team at Shipley & Sons was absolutely phenomenal! We had all new hardwood floors, tile flooring, carpeting, kitchen backsplash and interior paint throughout the entire house installed after demolition of the original flooring and I cannot recommend Shipley & Sons enough! The work done was beautiful and clean. Each team member was friendly and professional, especially Caden Shipley. Communication throughout the project was also on point and never did I not know the plan or timing of anything which was very much appreciated. We loved our experience from start to finish! Thank you for everything Shipley & Sons! I know we will see you again for the next project! :)
