Kitchen Remodeling in Las Vegas, NV

Kitchen remodeling in Las Vegas often starts with a house that has already lived through several owners and a few partial updates. The city was incorporated in 1911, and its population jumped from 24,624 in 1950 to 125,787 in 1970, according to Wikipedia's census history. That means a large share of the homes inside city limits were built decades before today's open-plan kitchens became the norm. A kitchen remodel here is often less about following a trend and more about undoing a closed-off galley, sagging cabinet boxes and a patchwork of countertops from different decades.

What we see in Las Vegas kitchens

Older city homes tend to share a few traits. Kitchens are smaller and walled off from the living room. Cabinets may be original or refaced once already. Flooring can be several layers deep, with vinyl over tile over something older. Lighting is often a single ceiling fixture. None of this is a problem; it simply means we plan the work after opening a few cabinet doors and looking at what is behind the walls, not before.

Our six kitchen services

• Full kitchen remodels: new cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting and fixtures planned as one project
• Cabinet replacement and refacing: new boxes where the old ones are failing, or new doors and veneer where the boxes are still sound
• Countertops: quartz, granite and other surfaces measured and installed on new or existing cabinets
• Layout and island changes: opening a wall, moving a sink or adding an island where the floor plan allows
• Backsplash and kitchen flooring: tile, stone and durable floors that handle a busy kitchen
• Kitchen updates on a budget: targeted changes like new doors, hardware, a faucet and a backsplash

Owners who plan to stay

About 56.6% of homes in the city are owner-occupied, and 86.1% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier (Census ACS, 2020 to 2024). The median owner-occupied home value is $427,900. For a homeowner who intends to stay put, it usually makes sense to fix the things that bother you every day: not enough counter space, a sink in the wrong spot, cabinets that will not close. We help you sort the wish list into what matters now and what can wait.

Desert heat and your kitchen

Las Vegas has a hot desert climate. July averages a daytime high of 104.5 °F, and the city sees about 137 days a year at or above 90 °F. Kitchens on a west or south wall, or with a big window over the sink, can get a lot of afternoon sun. When we plan a remodel, we talk about materials that hold up to strong light and heat, under-cabinet lighting that does not add warmth, and where to place a cooktop so the cook is not standing in the hottest corner of the house at 5 p.m.

Water and fixtures

Most homes in the city get water from the Las Vegas Valley Water District, which was created to use Nevada's Colorado River allocation and draws from Lake Mead. If your current faucet or sink shows white mineral buildup, tell us during the walkthrough. It helps us recommend fixture finishes and sink materials that are easier to wipe down, and it is a good time to decide whether you want space under the sink for a filter or other water treatment.

City permits

Homes inside Las Vegas city limits fall under the City of Las Vegas, not Clark County. Some addresses with a Las Vegas mailing address are actually in unincorporated county areas, so we confirm which building department covers your property before we schedule work that moves plumbing, gas or electrical. You get a clear answer on that before anything is torn out.

Getting a written estimate

Call (725) 330-5517 or send a few photos of your kitchen. We come out, measure, look at the cabinets, floor and walls, and give you a written quote that lists each part of the job. If you would rather do the counters now and the flooring later, we can split the quote into phases.
