Remodeling Contractor in Salt Lake City
Dobs Contracting remodels homes and condos throughout Salt Lake City. The city's housing runs from 1880s Victorians in the lower Avenues to postwar ranches on the east bench, and the right approach differs enormously between them — as does whether your block sits inside a historic district with design review.
The housing stock in Salt Lake City
Victorians built between roughly 1880 and 1910 concentrate in the lower Avenues; early-1900s bungalows in Craftsman, Prairie, and Tudor Revival variations fill 9th & 9th, Yalecrest, and Sugar House; Tudor and Colonial homes from the 1910s–1950s are common in Yalecrest and Federal Heights; and mid-century ranches from 1949–1970 dominate the upper east bench.
What that means for a remodel
Salt Lake City has several locally designated historic districts — the Avenues, Capitol Hill, Central City, South Temple, and University among them. Inside those boundaries, exterior changes require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city before work begins, and demolition of a contributing structure requires a public hearing. Interior work is generally unaffected, but it's worth knowing before you plan windows, additions, or anything visible from the street.
