Look it up on the official portal before you sign. 2. **Ask who pulls the permit** A good contractor applies for it and includes it in the price. 3. **Get the price in writing** One number, with what is and is not included. 4. **Pay as the work is done** Stages tied to progress, not most of it up front. 04 FAQ ## Questions about Sioux Falls ### Which services does Shortlist cover in Sioux Falls?
