Idaho Hauling Contractors

Hiring a Hauling Contractor in Idaho

Buildermuse currently lists 9 hauling contractors in Idaho, averaging 4.5 stars across 329 verified Google reviews. Every firm listed clears the 4.0-star bar, and with ratings this close together, review volume is the better tiebreaker — a 4.6 backed by hundreds of reviews usually beats a 5.0 with a dozen. Most of the crews above operate out of Idaho Falls, Nampa, and Boise.

Idaho requires licensing for public works contractors. Private residential and commercial work does not require a state-level general contractor license, though local jurisdictions may require registration. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades require state licensing. Confirm credentials with the Idaho Division of Building Safety at (208) 332-7100 before work begins. Licenses renew on an annual cycle (July 1). Expect a $50 state application fee.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Idaho market sets the floor: construction workers here average $31.20 an hour — about $64,896 a year — across 70,986 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
