The Permit Pro Consultant

I spoke with Ian around 3 years ago when my sister in law was being black mailed by her crazy neighbor. For 10 years she allowed her neighbor to bully her or she would turn my sister in law in to the county for her unpermitted garage conversion. She lives in the beach area and this is as common as hell to make garages in extra rooms. Well her crazy neighbor figured it out and told my sister in law that she would be taking all the parking spots including my sister in law’s!!!
After 10 years of this I looked up Ian and this guy gave me two hours of free advice on the phone!!! Who does that!!! He was positive and gave me a peace of mind that my sister in law would be able to go legit. It would NOT be a walk in the park and at times tricky but it was doable.
I told my sister in law all the things Ian told me and she began to cry. When the crazy neighbor came over to yell at her for parking in front of her own house for the first time in her life, my sister in law told her to «go fuck herself !!» Apparently family members state my sister in law began to just blow up 10 years of pent up fear and anger onto that woman hahahhaha!!! The crazy old lady has not bothered her since and it’s been 3 years!

I called Ian on behalf of a client who purchased a home that had some non-​permitted add-​ons. He went above an beyond to investigate and offer solutions that corrected the situation and gave the buyers piece of mind going forward. Ian is extremely knowledgeable regarding codes and permits and quick to respond to inquiries. He was stellar and I would recommend him to anyone who needs this kind of help.

Ian Scattergood was amazing to work with!!! We did a remodel 17 years ago and were told at that time that permits weren’t necessary for the type of work we were doing, Fast forward to now, when we are selling the house. A potential buyer was concerned that the remodel wasn’t permitted. Enter Ian who took charge and handled everything for us. The process was simple, painless, reasonable cost and very fast! Ian handled everything very professionally and we are now fully permitted. I would highly recommend Ian and his company.

I used Ian to help me through a difficult experience with the city. After purchasing my home, I was notified by the city that there was unpermitted space that was added on. Ian was extremely helpful and helped me get everything permitted and approved by the city, with minimal extra costs.
The previous reviewer complains about an estimate of $ 10,000-$ 15,000 and mentions the estimate shouldn’t have a $ 5k spread. After working with the city, I can say from experience that there is no way to provide an estimate without this type of spread because there is no telling what the city will make you fix.
I would recommend Ian for anyone that needs help with the permitting process.
