The S220 Carpentry and Flooring Contractor License is essential for professionals who engage in carpentry or flooring projects in Utah. This license is required for contractors who work on tasks such as framing, finishing carpentry, wood floor installation, and similar activities.
To meet the reciprocity requirements a contractor must be licensed, having passed the equivalent trade exam, and be in good standing in the reciprocal state. A license application must still be submitted and the business law exam must still be passed by the applicant in each state they want to work as a contractor.

General contractors that perform construction services in multiple states need to meet the license requirements of every state they operate in. In some cases, states have reciprocal agreements that streamline the application process for out-of-state licensed contractors.
This includes renovation and remodeling projects, as well as new builds. Obtaining the B100 designation demonstrates that you have the education, knowledge, and experience necessary to complete the work successfully. Most GC license holders coordinate and oversee subcontractors who perform the physical work.
