    Rapid permits saved me 4-6 months of permitting. I just wanted to install a boatlift in a canal with other boat lifts and Trent told me they could get my permit approved in less than 2-3 weeks. I was REALLY skeptical because everyone else … More was telling me 4-6 months with no exceptions. They said they could get an exception from DEP that I would NOT have to go through Army Core and they came through with their promise and actually got the permit approved in 1 week. I am now a believer, Trent was amazing and I would highly recommend Rapid Permits!
