Questions every Salt Lake City homeowner should ask
Ask the same set of questions to every contractor so the answers are comparable. The questions below cover licensing, scope, and warranty, the three areas where Greater Salt Lake City quotes most often diverge.
- Is the company a licensed Utah general contractor or residential / small commercial contractor under DOPL? What's the license number?
- Who pulls the permit with Salt Lake City, West Valley City, and other nearby areas, if one is required?
- Is the price fixed or an allowance? What's the change-order process?
- Is subfloor repair or leveling included if needed, or a change order?
- Does the quote specify material grade, thickness, and brand?
- Is removal and disposal of the old flooring included?
- Is a moisture test included for below-grade or slab rooms?
- How much acclimation time is built in for solid hardwood in Utah's dry climate?
- If the home is on slab (newer south-valley subdivisions), how are transitions and leveling handled?
- What's the warranty on labor and on materials, and is it transferable?
- What's the realistic timeline, start to finish, and how many crews work the job?
- Do you protect the rest of the house during removal and install (floor covering, dust containment)?

Frequently asked questions
How many quotes should I get?+
Two to three is the sweet spot for most Greater Salt Lake City flooring projects. One quote isn't enough to know if the price and scope are reasonable; more than three usually slows the decision without adding clarity. Make sure every quote covers the same scope so you're comparing apples to apples, that's the single biggest reason flooring quotes look wildly different.
