I think it might be best to have another licensed contractor in your area take a look. Or simply call another licensed contractor and email pictures to see if it's acceptable. Every home is different and the 'code' is different in each county/city...I wish I could help more! Our article is definitely more of a high level guide and I should include a "Check with your local licensed contractors" disclaimer... Hi Marisela, Thank you for commenting on our blog!
