If they ask you to pull the permit, they may not be properly licensed to do the work. For older Lynn homes (average 57 years), beware of concrete work quotes that don't mention code compliance. Modern codes have changed significantly since these homes were built — any work that triggers inspection should be priced with code upgrades included.
