Kitchen Remodel in North Las Vegas, NV

Most requests for a kitchen remodel in North Las Vegas come from one of two places. One is the older housing around the original city core, much of it built between the 1950s and 1970s, where kitchens tend to be small, closed off and wired for far fewer appliances. The other is the master-planned stock from 1990 on, in Eldorado, Aliante and nearby, where the layout works but the cabinets, counters and lighting are original.

Each needs a different first visit. In the older homes we look at the panel, count the counter circuits and test the outlets before talking about cabinets. In the newer ones we start with the cabinet boxes, the condition of the sink base and whether the island can take a sink or cooktop.

A modern kitchen expects separate circuits for counter outlets, the dishwasher, the disposal and the microwave, and a 1960s kitchen often has fewer. If your house was built between 1965 and 1973, ask whether it has aluminum branch wiring, which the Consumer Product Safety Commission has tied to overheating at outlets and switches. New circuits, a panel change or gas piping for a moved range are permit work through the city's Building Safety Division.

That part of the job is handled with or by a contractor holding the matching Nevada license where the law calls for one, and inspections are worked into the schedule. In an older house, the electrician's rough-in usually comes first, since cabinets cannot go up until new boxes and wiring are in the open walls. Cabinets, counters, tile and paint are finish work and move faster.

Kitchens here usually fall into two price bands. Lighter projects, such as painted or refaced cabinets with new tops, a backsplash and a few appliances, run $3,590 to $16,190. Complete remodels with all-new cabinets and counters on the existing layout run $13,490 to $44,990.

In older homes, electrical upgrades and wall repair after the old cabinets come off can move the figure more than the counter choice does. Text the kitchen from two corners, plus a photo of the electrical panel label, to (702) 553-1671, and we give you a first range. The written price comes after we measure, with electrical, cabinets, tile and labor on separate lines.

Old cabinets come off the wall in sections, the sink and appliances are disconnected and capped, and debris is hauled off as it comes out. We seal the kitchen doorway with plastic during demolition and sanding, and sweep and vacuum before leaving each evening.

Neighbors notice a remodel mostly through noise and the dumpster. Loud demolition stays within normal working hours, and we keep your driveway open for your cars wherever the site allows.
