Questions every Salt Lake City homeowner should ask
Ask the same set of questions to every remodeler 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.
- Who's the licensed plumber on the job, and what's their Utah DOPL license number and classification?
- 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, West Jordan, South Jordan, Sandy, Draper, Murray, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Millcreek, Taylorsville, Riverton, Herriman, Bluffdale, South Salt Lake, or unincorporated Salt Lake County — and what inspections does this project trigger?
- Is the price fixed or an allowance? What's the change-order process?
- What waterproofing system (for tile) or shower pan (for acrylic) are you using, and who manufactures it?
- What's the warranty on labor, on the shower system, and on the plumbing work — and is it transferable?
- How do you handle subfloor / joist damage or slab cracks if you find them during demo?
- If the home is on slab (newer south-valley subdivisions), what's the saw-cut and patch process?
- What's the realistic timeline, start to finish, and how many crews work the job?
- Do you protect the rest of the house during demo (floor covering, dust containment)?
- Who's my point of contact for day-to-day questions?

Frequently asked questions
How many quotes should I get?+
Two to three is the sweet spot for most Greater Salt Lake City bathroom remodels. 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 bathroom remodel quotes look wildly different.
