Building in Sandy

Our home town, and our busiest one.

Sandy grew fast in the 1970s and 1980s. The city went from about 6,400 people in 1970 to more than 52,000 by 1980, and many of the homes on the east bench went up in that boom. A lot of them are now 35 to 50 years old.

That age is why the work here is so often basements, kitchens and whole floors. Alpha Homes' shop is in Sandy, so our crew is minutes from your house, not an hour away.

What we know about Sandy

Local rules that change the job.

These come straight from the city and the state. Fees and review times change, so we confirm them with the city on every job.

A permit just for basements

Sandy splits remodel work into three permit types, and one is only for finishing an unfinished basement. You apply and book inspections through Sandy Cityworks.

Foothill slope rules

In the Sensitive Area Overlay, slopes of 30 percent or more stay natural, and homes sit an average of 20 feet back from them.

Its own fire rule in state law

Utah Code 15A-4-207 gives Sandy its own building rule: fire-resistant construction in the foothill areas the city marks as wildland interface.

"Alpha homes does good work on the flips that I have them do. I recently had a project where I was in a hurry to get completed up and they got out their quickly and changed out the lights, fixed a bunch of exterior boards that were separating and made it look really nice and protected for the long haul. I look forward to using Tanner in the future on other projects."

"Tanner and his team came out for a garage redo. His team was very professional, timely, and clean. Was able to revamp my old garage floor to looking new and fresh. Set up a bar area, installed new surround sound system, projector, screen and garage door screen. Couldn't recommend a better company for the job will definitely be using them for all future projects."

Questions

Sandy questions.

Do you work in all of Sandy?
We focus on the east side of Sandy, up toward the foothills. Call if you are not sure. Our shop is in Sandy, so we know the streets.
Who issues permits in Sandy?
Sandy City Building and Code Compliance at 10000 Centennial Parkway. Applications and inspections run through Sandy Cityworks. A few foothill homes are in unincorporated Granite instead, which uses Salt Lake County.
Does a finished basement count against Sandy's house size limit?
No. Sandy caps house size by zone, but the code says the cap does not include subterranean basements.
