What we do here

Our services in Salt Lake City

What we are asked for most in Salt Lake City is whole-home renovation, kitchen remodeling and home additions — but we take on the full range, run as one project with one point of contact.

Local knowledge

What building in Salt Lake City actually involves

Salt Lake City is not one housing market, it is several stacked inside one boundary. A Victorian in the Avenues, a 1920s brick bungalow in Sugar House and a post-war rambler in Rose Park have almost nothing in common except a mailing address.

That matters more than it sounds. The right approach, the likely surprises and the permitting path all change depending on which of those you happen to own.

Will my project need historic district approval?
The Avenues, Capitol Hill and several other areas sit inside local historic districts. Exterior changes visible from the street go through the city’s Historic Landmark Commission, and that review has its own timeline. It is worth establishing which side of a district line a house sits on before anyone commissions drawings.
What usually turns up in a pre-1920s house here?
Pre-1920s houses in the older neighbourhoods commonly have knob-and-tube wiring, unreinforced masonry, plaster over lath and effectively no insulation. None of that is a reason not to proceed, but it is a reason to survey before setting a budget.
Does a narrow city lot limit what I can build?
Older city lots are long and thin, and many have no way in from the back. That governs where a skip can sit, how material reaches the work, and whether an addition realistically goes out or up.
Do I need a permit for this in Salt Lake City?
Anything structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing does. Salt Lake City issues its own building permits through its building division, and we prepare the submittal, book the inspections and carry the job through to final sign-off — you are not left managing that yourself.
