Handyman in North Las Vegas

North Las Vegas was incorporated on May 1, 1946, and its housing covers most of the decades since. As a handyman in North Las Vegas, our crew works in 1960s houses near the original core and in master-planned neighborhoods that opened from 1990 on. Repairs, installs and full remodels are all on the list, and the phone is answered around the clock.

Four communities here have their own pages: Aliante, Sun City Aliante, Eldorado and Craig Ranch. This page covers the rest of the city and what applies everywhere inside its limits.

Housing data for ZIP 89030 shows more homes built in the 1960s than in any other decade, with the 1970s close behind. Houses that age have usually been through several owners and several rounds of quick fixes.

Electrical repair is a common starting point. An old switch that runs warm, a loose outlet or a light that flickers deserves a look before anything new is added to that circuit. When a ceiling fan or new fixture goes into an older room, we check the box and its support first, since a box made for a light is not always rated for a fan.

Bathrooms in these houses often show their age in the tub surround and the shutoff valves. Las Vegas Valley Water District rates local tap water at 17 grains per gallon, which it calls very hard, and that mineral load builds up on fixtures over the years. A plumbing repair or a full bathroom remodel usually starts by testing shutoff valves that may have sat untouched for decades.

Pardee started Eldorado around 1990 and kept building there for decades, Aliante followed with its grand opening in May 2003, and Del Webb built the 55-plus Sun City Aliante inside Aliante. Century Communities opened its gated Craig Ranch neighborhood beside Craig Ranch Regional Park in January 2020.

Work in those neighborhoods leans toward updates rather than rescue jobs: kitchen remodel and cabinet repair in 1990s Eldorado kitchens, tile installation and shower remodels in Aliante's early-2000s bathrooms, and TV mounting, lighting and custom closets in the newest Craig Ranch homes.

The City of North Las Vegas Building Safety Division reviews plans, issues permits and inspects work for addresses inside city limits, from the Development Services Center at 2250 Las Vegas Boulevard North. Parcels in unincorporated Clark County next to the city are permitted by the county instead, so it pays to check the parcel before planning a remodel.

Electrical service changes, new circuits, water heaters and plumbing work are among the jobs that call for a permit there. When a job on your list falls into one of those groups, we say so before work is scheduled.
