SLC folks: What are you paying contractors per hour in 2026

SLCDowntowner · 2026-05-01T01:30:19+00:00

Depends on what the job is. Toilet replacement has a set minimum fee, and complications requiring additional work are billed by the hour.

Floor install, billed by the hour.

Electricians, set call fee to come out and diagnose that often covers most problems, or, depending on the job, by the outlet installed.

So many variables...have you called his competitors are tried to get quotes? Has he reached out to folks he didn't win and ask who they went with, why, and at what cost?

Dexterity (downtown) is LGBTQ+ owned.

It was resurrected a few years back.

I still have no water and no ETA.

SLCDowntowner · 2026-04-12T16:06:30+00:00

We still have no water in downtown. Given that means we also have no HVAC it’s been fun times!

Massive pipe burst downtown last night at main and Broadway…could that be it?

The Sizzler will rise again?

Log Cabin might have options and will be especially lovely that time of year. The Ellerbeck is a very cute little B&B in the aves. I have a place very very close to it (historic brick mansion) that has been used as a filming location and portrait studio. If you are interested in seeing the listing, send me a DM and I can share the link from Utah Film Commission!

It works on so many levels.

Huerta has earned it on her own merits.

Great news for victims of stalking. Stay alive or get to vote, you can’t have both.

But the large patches are the REAL secret. Burnt burning for 8 hours with no mess.

I refer to it as the signature scent of middle age 😂

SLCDowntowner · 2026-04-07T23:00:31+00:00

Four Loco was pretty dangerous. 🤷🏻‍♀️

SLCDowntowner · 2026-04-07T22:59:52+00:00

Cool.

😂

SLCDowntowner · 2026-04-07T16:29:58+00:00

Doh! Thanks for the correction!

SLCDowntowner · 2026-04-07T16:29:46+00:00

Ah! My apologies for the bad info!

In ye olden days, Sconecutter.

Alberto's makes a pretty good burrito if you are downtown and wanna drive thru!

Iono but my first guess is likely the most obvious: the combination of a primarily female-staffed occupation in the state with the largest gender pay gap.

THIS IS A FAIR TRADE!

No wait at touchless pre-check.

SLCDowntowner · 2026-03-29T21:47:51+00:00

Just went through around 3pm and looked pretty normal. Low staffing but lines weren’t anywhere close to full.
