Onondaga County requires a wall removal permit for any structural change, and the process includes stamped engineering drawings, an inspection during framing, and a final sign-off. Skipping the permit is how Cicero homeowners end up unable to refinance because the appraiser flags an unpermitted change. Our team handles the permit package, stamped drawings, and inspection scheduling as part of the project. You do not need to make a single call to the county yourself.
The Vescari family on Button Road wanted an open kitchen with an island that seated four. Their wall was load-bearing and the existing electrical panel was on the wrong side of it. We sequenced the beam install, the panel relocation, and the new kitchen rough-in so the family lost their cooking space for three weeks instead of three months. Sequencing is where home renovation projects either flow or fail.
– Elijah Mercer Boone, Lead Project Manager
Most Cicero homeowners keep their existing flooring (often hardwood under aging carpet), upgrade to custom Shaker cabinetry, install a Quartz-topped island that anchors the new open footprint, and refresh the dining-side lighting to match the kitchen’s new task layers. The dining room becomes part of the kitchen’s working space, not a separate room with a door you forgot was there.

Lyncourt's small urban lots have the same problem on every block. The family room is too small. Whether it is a 1950s ranch off Court Street or a 1920s bungalow closer to the cemetery, the original family room footprint is rarely more than 12 by 14 feet, and modern furniture, modern televisions, and modern family life simply do not fit. A bump-out can solve it in 8 to 12 feet of new exterior wall, but in Onondaga County that bump-out is not just a construction project. It is a permit project. Get the permit path right and the build is fast. Get it wrong and you wait three months for paperwork that should have taken three weeks.
If you live in a Pompey hillside home and you want to convert the basement into legal sleeping space for a teenager, an in-law, or a rental tenant, the line that separates a finished basement from a legal bedroom is the egress window. Without one sized to code, the room is not a bedroom in the eyes of the appraiser, the insurance carrier, or the fire marshal. With one sized correctly, the basement bedroom becomes real square footage that appraises and rents.
A dedicated theater is the upgrade Geddes homeowners enjoy every single weekend, and it is also the basement project where the fun details and the code details fight each other. You want a sealed, dark, sound-isolated box; the code wants egress, proper wiring, and a ceiling height that does not feel like a crawlspace. A basement home theater code compliant build gets both right, so the room sounds incredible and still passes inspection without a last-minute redesign.
Fayetteville's premium homes generate a specific kind of remodel mistake. The owner pays for a beautiful kitchen, a high-end bath, and finish-level cabinetry, then accepts a contractor's verbal assurance that the wall in the middle of the floor plan is non-structural and can come out without an engineer. Twelve months later the upstairs floor has developed a sag, a crack has opened in the master bedroom, and the appraiser flags the unpermitted change at refinance. The structural engineer cost the owner skipped at the start becomes the failure they could not afford at the end.
