Kitchen remodeling in Utah
Contractor licensing and contract rules for a kitchen remodel in Utah, what the trades earn, and the 56 places this guide covers, with 871,798 homes.
Licenses and contracts
Utah exempts remodeling work under $7,000 in labor and materials from the contractor’s license, but the plumbing and electrical parts of such a job must still be done by licensed plumbing and electrical contractors, and a person doing a job over $3,000 without a license must have filed proof of liability insurance with the state.
If the house was built before 1978, the firm has to be certified for lead-safe renovation by Utah’s own program, which EPA authorized.
