Your West Virginia questions, answered.
Do you deliver anywhere in West Virginia?
Yes. Our coverage includes the whole state.
Do I need a building permit?
It depends on the city or county. West Virginia’s building code applies only where a city or county has adopted it. Many rural counties have not, and have no building permit process. Call the county or city anyway: floodplain permits and zoning can still apply.
My lot is on a slope. What do I need to do?
The building needs a level, firm base. On a hillside that usually means grading or a pad built up with compacted stone. You prepare the site.
Can a delivery truck reach my property?
Narrow roads, sharp switchbacks, low bridges, creek crossings and steep gravel drives all matter. We review access before confirming timing.
Where can I check flood risk?
West Virginia has its own flood tool. Many homes sit in narrow valleys near streams, so check before choosing the building location. Then ask the county floodplain manager about any permit.
How do delivery and installation work?
We review your building, location and site details before confirming timing. You prepare a level site and arrange required local approvals. A quote request does not reserve an installation date. Snow and ice can delay mountain deliveries in winter.
Do I need to call 811 before installation?
Yes. Contact West Virginia 811 at least two days, and no more than 10 days, before work starts. Tell them where the building will sit and that ground anchors will be installed. Marks are good for 10 days while visible.
Lines you own, such as gas or power lines on the property, are not marked through 811.
What snow load should I plan for?
It varies with elevation. Where a county has a building office, ask for the ground snow load at your address. Where there is no building office, ask us to use your exact location and elevation when we review the building.
