Holladay, Utah
Holladay homes, Salty finish.
Holladay is on the regular Salt Lake County schedule — the same crew that works Millcreek, Murray and Salt Lake City, on the same calendar, finishing to the same standard. Handyman days, remodels, saunas, accessibility work and commercial punch lists.
Services in Holladay
Handyman and remodel help for Holladay — and the rest of Salt Lake County
Holladay houses tend to have history: mature lots, original trim worth keeping, and enough previous renovations that the framing, the wiring and the plaster rarely agree with each other. That makes the walk-through the important part. We scope what is actually behind the wall, and we finish the last ten percent so the new work sits with the old.
Five things we do, all of them available in Holladay. Each one has a page of its own with the detail, the process and the questions people actually ask.
Handyman Services
A half day or a full day on a Holladay list: trim and hardware repaired rather than replaced, doors eased, things mounted into plaster the right way, caulk and paint touched in before we leave.
Request handyman helpRemodels
Kitchen and bath work in older east-bench houses that have been renovated more than once, where the plan starts with what is behind the plaster. Scoped in writing, staged, billed against progress.
Start a project estimateSaunas & wellness spaces
Kit assembly, custom indoor and outdoor builds, heater swaps and repair. On a mature Holladay lot an outdoor build near the house usually beats forcing one into a basement corner.
Talk saunas with usAging in place
Older Holladay houses keep their structure well hidden. We find it, anchor to it rather than to plaster, and match the existing trim and paint so the safety work does not end up dating the room.
Request an accessibility consultCommercial & tenant improvements
Tenant improvements, boutique retail and professional-suite fit-outs around Holladay Village and the surrounding blocks, plus punch-list close-out and landlord sign-off.

Kitchen and bathroom remodels in Holladay
A kitchen or bathroom in an older Holladay house is rarely a blank box. The interesting part is behind the wall — where the drain actually runs, how the floor was framed, what somebody did to the wiring during the last remodel. So we scope that before we quote, not after, and we say out loud which parts we cannot see until demolition opens them up.
What you get back is a line-item estimate: the work broken out piece by piece, with what is included and what is excluded written down. You read it before anything goes on the calendar, and the scope is what we build to. There is more on how we run a remodel on our remodel page, and finished work as we photograph it on our work.
Salty is the licensed Utah general contractor on the job. Where the work needs plumbing or electrical that has to be done by a licensed trade, we bring in vetted, licensed subcontractors and manage them ourselves. One contract, one schedule, one person to call.
Kitchens
Layout
If the plan is wrong the finish cannot rescue it, so we start with how the room gets used and what the walls, the windows and the existing drain will actually let us move.
Cabinets
Stock, semi-custom or built for the room — either way they get scribed and shimmed to the walls you have rather than the square ones on the drawing.
Counters
Templated after the boxes are set and levelled, which is the only way the seams and the overhangs land where you were told they would.
Tile
Backsplash and floor set off layout lines we strike first, so the cuts finish somewhere sensible instead of in the middle of the run you look at every day.
Lighting
Enough light on the work surfaces, switched where your hand already goes, and the wiring brought up to code wherever we have the wall open.
Bathrooms
Tub-to-shower conversions
A tub nobody uses becomes a shower somebody does: the pan, the waterproofing and the glass all get decided before a single tile goes up.
Tile
Walls, floors and niches over a proper waterproofing system, because that layer is the part of the job you never get to see again.
Vanities
Sized to the room and the supply lines already in it, or moved on purpose when the layout is worth changing while the wall is open.
Fixtures
Valves, trim, toilets and hardware chosen against what the existing plumbing will take — if a choice means opening more wall, you hear that at estimate stage, not after.
Ventilation
A fan that is sized for the room and genuinely ducted outside, which is the simplest thing anyone can do for a bathroom that stays dry.
If the bathroom needs to work for somebody for a long time — grab bars anchored to real structure, a curbless shower, a seat — that sits under aging in place, and it can be built into the same remodel.
Basement remodels and cabinet replacement in Holladay
A lot of Holladay basements have already been finished once, sometimes decades ago, and the question is what is worth keeping. We walk it first: how the walls were framed and insulated, where the ducts, drains and panel actually sit, and whether there is any sign of moisture that has to be dealt with before anything new goes up. Then you get the same line-item estimate as any other remodel, with the parts we cannot see until demolition called out in writing.
Basements
Framing and insulation
New walls laid out around the mechanicals you have, not the ones on a drawing, with access left where you will need it later.
Bathrooms and wet bars
Both are in scope, routed to the existing drain and venting where we can; if a choice means cutting the slab, you hear that at estimate stage.
Lighting and power
New circuits and switching planned for how the room gets used, with the panel checked for spare capacity before anything is promised.
Finish
Trim, doors and paint matched to the floor above, so the basement reads as part of the house rather than a project that stopped halfway.
Cabinet replacement
Worn-out cabinets get replaced, not dressed up. We pull the old run, look at the wall and floor that were hidden behind it, put right whatever needs attention, and set new cabinets level and scribed to the walls you actually have. Bathroom vanities and laundry or basement cabinets get the same treatment. You will know which rooms are worth doing now and which can wait before you commit to any of it.
Permits depend on the scope and the address. Salty can pull them or you can, and we check what Holladay requires for your project before work starts.

Questions
Holladay, specifically.
Do you do kitchen remodels in Holladay?
Yes. Layout, cabinets, counters, tile and lighting, from a refit that keeps the footprint to a kitchen that changes shape. We scope it on site first and then put it in front of you as a line-item estimate, so you can see what each part of it costs before anything is booked.
Do you remodel bathrooms in older Holladay homes?
Yes. Older houses hide their surprises in the wet wall, so we open up and scope before we quote rather than discovering it halfway through. Tub-to-shower conversions, tile, vanities, fixtures and ventilation all come under the same written scope.
Do you finish or remodel basements in Holladay?
Yes. Framing, insulation, a bathroom or wet bar if you want one, and a finish that matches the floor above. We walk it first, look for moisture and mechanical constraints, and put it in a line-item estimate before anything is booked.
Can you replace cabinets without a full kitchen remodel?
Yes, and replacement is the only version of it we do. The old boxes come out, we make good what was behind them, and the new run is set to your walls, with hardware and counters quoted in the same estimate. Vanities and laundry cabinets work the same way.
Who handles plumbing and electrical?
Salty is the general contractor on the job. Where the work needs licensed plumbing or electrical, we bring in vetted, licensed subcontractors and manage them ourselves — scheduling, inspections and the finish afterwards stay our problem, not yours.
Can you handle an older Holladay house carefully?
That is most of what we do here. We scope what is behind the wall before we quote rather than after, because in east-bench houses of this age the framing, the wiring and the plaster rarely agree with each other. Nothing gets opened up on a guess, and the finish is matched to what is already in the room.
Will the new work look like it belongs?
That is the point of the last ten percent. Profiles get matched where we can match them and milled where we cannot, paint is cut in properly, and hardware is chosen to sit with the rest of the house rather than to be noticed. If something genuinely cannot be matched we will say so at estimate stage and give you the options.
Is Holladay on your regular schedule?
Yes. Holladay runs in the same week as Millcreek, Murray and Salt Lake City, and the east side of the valley is standing territory for us. Same crew, same calendar, same standard of finish as anywhere else in the county.
Will you take one small job?
There is a 2-hour minimum on service visits, and past that we book by the half day or the full day depending on what your list needs. If your list is genuinely one item, tell us anyway — we can often fold it into a day already scheduled nearby.
Is what I want handyman work or a remodel?
Rough line: if it fits inside a booked day or two and nobody is moving a wall, a pipe or a circuit, it is handyman work. Once the layout changes, the cabinets come out or the tile goes in, it is a remodel — scoped in writing and scheduled in stages. We sell both, so describe it and we will tell you straight which one it is.

AMAZING job! He was very detailed and thorough.
Romas is wonderful to work with. Kind, communicative, and very skilled. He installed a pergola for me, and I watched as he obsessed just the way I would over having it perfectly centered and level in the best spot. We're in talks to have him build a set of custom garden planter boxes for my property, and I can't wait! Highly recommend.
Romas saved my sauna! He was professional, knowledgeable, clean and took care of my broken sauna heater. I would absolutely hire him again.
