Contractors: Before you commit, make sure they’re legit!!

Before you commit to a contractor, check their license with Utah’s Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL). It’s quick and easy:

1. Visit www.dopl.utah.gov.
2. Click “Verify a License.”
3. Search by name, business, or license number (contractor licenses end in -5501).
4. Check to make sure the license is active and hasn’t expired.
5. Scroll to the “Classifications” section to see the kind of work they’re licensed to do.

✅ Licensed = Legal
🚫 No license = No go

Handymen have limits:

• No license required if jobs are under $3,000 (materials + labor).
• With a handyman exemption, they can go up to $7,000 (materials + labor).
• Fully licensed = no cap.

⚡ Apprentice electricians must work under a Journeyman or Master — no solo jobs allowed!

If your search comes up empty (and you’ve double-checked spelling), they’re NOT licensed to work in Utah.

Still unsure?
📞 Call DOPL: (801) 530-6628

Better safe than sorry—check before you hire!
