Handyman inNorth Las Vegas, NV.

North Las Vegas has houses from the 1950s and houses finished this year, sometimes a short drive apart. As an insured local crew, we work as a handyman in North Las Vegas on both: repairs, installs and remodels from the 89030 core to Aliante, Craig Ranch and the Villages at Tule Springs.

The historic core around ZIP 89030 was built up from the 1950s through the 1970s, with tighter lots east of Las Vegas Boulevard. Eldorado, the city's first master-planned community, held its grand opening in April 1990 and was built out by Pardee Homes over nearly three decades. Aliante opened in 2003, Craig Ranch Regional Park was completed in 2013 on a former golf course, and construction in the Villages at Tule Springs began in 2018.

That spread means the job list changes a lot from one ZIP code to the next. What stays the same is the climate and construction: very hard water, summer highs above 110°F, monsoon storms from mid-June through September, and stucco homes on concrete slabs.

Houses that are 50 years old or more have usually been through several rounds of patching. Doors that no longer latch, hinges worn loose and frames that have shifted are typical, and our door installation and repair work covers everything from a sticking bedroom door to a new exterior entry door. A new entry door with fresh weatherstripping also helps keep summer heat and monsoon dust out.

Walls tell the same story. Drywall repair in these homes often means cutting out an old patch that was never textured, fixing the damage underneath and matching the wall texture properly. After that, interior painting is the simplest way to make a dated room feel current: patched, primed and painted with clean lines at the ceiling and trim.

Older plumbing fixtures take the worst of the hard water. Scale builds up in faucet aerators, shower heads and toilet fill valves, and shut-off valves that have not been turned in years can seize or drip once they are. We check the shut-offs before swapping a fixture so a small job does not turn into a flooded cabinet.

Eldorado homes from the 1990s sit in the middle. Where original carpet or tile is worn out, flooring installation with luxury vinyl plank is a practical update because it stands up to pets, kids and grit tracked in from desert yards. On a slab, we check the floor for flatness first, since high and low spots show through a thin plank.

In the newer master plans the work tends to be upgrades rather than repairs. A doggie door installation through a wall or a sliding-door insert is a popular one with pet owners, and it has to be sealed so it does not let dust and hot air into the house. Mounted TVs, ceiling fans and garage shelving round out the list.

Aliante has a master homeowners association, and so do the gated neighborhoods near Craig Ranch Regional Park and the Shadow Creek golf course. If a change shows on the outside of the house, such as a pet door in an exterior wall, a new front door or a paint color, check with your HOA before we schedule it.

Kitchens vary just as much. A kitchen remodel in an Aliante home from the 2000s might mean new cabinet fronts, a tile backsplash and under-cabinet lighting, while a 1970s kitchen in the older core may need the layout rethought. We walk through first and give you an itemized estimate either way.

Homes inside city limits get building permits from the City of North Las Vegas, not from Clark County or the City of Las Vegas. A North Las Vegas mailing address does not by itself prove the home is inside city limits, so we confirm jurisdiction by parcel. When a job needs a permit, we tell you up front, before the quote is signed.

For small jobs, send a few photos and we can usually give you a written flat quote without a visit. Remodels start with a walkthrough and an itemized estimate. Estimates are free, and on the day of the work we protect your floors and clean up before we leave.
