        "text": "Permits are typically not required solely for replacing existing cabinets with new ones, as long as the work does not involve structural changes, significant alterations to plumbing or electrical systems, or changes to the building's footprint. However, if your cabinet installation is part of a larger kitchen or bathroom remodel that includes structural modifications, moving walls, or altering utility lines, then permits from the City of Berkeley or relevant East Bay jurisdiction would likely be necessary. We can help assess permit requirements as part of our project planning.",
