Frequently asked questions
What if one Salt Lake City quote is way lower than the others?+
Usually it's missing scope. The most common gaps are: subfloor / slab repair excluded, underlayment excluded, transitions excluded, permits excluded, lower-grade material, or no acclimation time built in for hardwood. Ask the lower bidder to add the missing items as line-items so you can compare apples to apples. If the price stays much lower after that, ask exactly why, and verify the DOPL contractor license and references before signing.
