SOS Permits is a family-
operated permit expediting company dedicated to helping homeowners, contractors, architects, engineers, and business owners navigate the permitting process with confidence while making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
My name is Christina Trevino, founder of SOS Permits. With 10 years of specialized permitting experience, I am committed to helping clients successfully navigate the permitting process. Before starting my business, I worked for Los Angeles County as a Building Permit Technician II, where I gained firsthand knowledge of the permitting process, including how to read construction plans and determine when projects require approvals from other city departments and utility agencies. This experience allows me to anticipate requirements early, help prevent unnecessary delays, and guide projects through the permitting process more efficiently.
Our team also includes Junior Project Manager Montserrat Maldonado, who brings over 15 years of experience providing administrative support to the Chief Financial Officer of Los Angeles County Public Works. Her exceptional problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and commitment to client service help ensure every project is managed accurately and professionally from start to finish.
As a family-operated business, we believe every client deserves personalized service, honest communication, and dependable support. We understand that permit applications can be stressful and time-consuming, which is why we manage the paperwork, coordinate with city departments, monitor project milestones, and keep our clients informed every step of the way.
At SOS Permits, integrity is the foundation of everything we do. We believe in doing things right the first time, communicating openly, and treating every project as if it were our own. Whether you’re obtaining a simple permit or navigating a complex project involving multiple agency approvals, you can count on us to work diligently on your behalf.
Our goal is simple: to save you time, reduce stress, help your project move forward as smoothly and efficiently as possible, and build a long-lasting working relationship based on trust, reliability, and exceptional service.
