Handyman in Centennial Hills

Centennial Hills got its name on January 17, 2001, after a public contest in which it beat Arrow Canyon and Tule Springs. The area sits in northwest Las Vegas with Summerlin to the south, North Las Vegas to the east and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument to the north. A handyman in Centennial Hills works on two kinds of houses: those from the 1990s building boom and newer ones built from the 2000s on.

Housing data for the neighborhood counts more than 12,000 homes built in the 1990s, about 4,600 from the 2000s and close to 4,000 more since 2010. Skye Canyon and Providence, which have their own pages, belong to the same northwest corner.

The biggest group of homes here is now 27 to 36 years old. That is old enough for original shower valves to drip, grout to crumble in high-traffic spots and hairline drywall cracks to show where walls meet ceilings. Plumbing repair, drywall repair with texture matching and caulking and grout work cover most of it.

If the kitchen or baths still have their original 1990s finishes, a bathroom remodel or kitchen remodel replaces them in one project, while interior painting and lighting installation can freshen the rest of the house without opening walls.

Hard water is part of the story. The local supply tests at 17 grains per gallon, and three decades of that leaves scale inside cartridges and valves until a handle gets stiff or a shower runs weak. Replacing a worn cartridge is a small plumbing repair that often fixes both.

Centennial Hills Park, at 7101 North Buffalo Drive, has fossil-themed trails built around an old inverted riverbed and an outdoor amphitheater that the city rents out for events. Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs, the city's largest regional park at 680 acres, is also close by. Centennial Hills Hospital opened on Durango Drive in January 2008.

The US 95 and 215 Beltway interchange at the center of the area, first built in 2003, was completed as the Centennial Bowl in 2023.
