Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) is the relevant authority. Utah requires a license for construction work at or above $3,000, or any job that requires a building permit regardless of price.
Licensing threshold: $3,000 or more (or requires a building permit).
DOPL's license lookup covers contractors and most licensed trades. Check a license here.
Signed a contract at your door and had second thoughts? Federal law (the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule) gives you 3 business days to cancel most door-to-door sales over $25, no reason required - Utah follows the same 3-day window for home-solicitation sales.
To report a problem: Utah Division of Consumer Protection, file a complaint here. The Residence Lien Recovery Fund protects homeowners from double-paying on liens when a contractor fails to pay a subcontractor or supplier.
Ski season (November-April) is a second economy along the Wasatch Front and drives short-term rental and property-management demand at elevation. Snow-load roof checks matter most in the heaviest months, January-February.
