Utah's rule says a B100 General Building contractor's scope does not include the work of the E200, E201, P200 or P201 electrical and plumbing contractor licenses, so that work goes to a licensed electrical or plumbing contractor. (source: Utah Office of Administrative Rules)
Some finish work needs no contractor license, including carpet, vinyl sheet tile and vinyl plank floor installation, mirrors, and window coverings. (source: Utah Office of Administrative Rules)
Small jobs under Utah's handyman exemption have their own limits. See Handyman Help and how to check a license.
