Kitchen Remodeling in Southern Highlands, NV

Kitchen remodeling in Southern Highlands tends toward bigger projects. The community was planned as a luxury master-planned development on 1,850 acres in the southern foothills of the valley, and the reported median household income here is $138,134. Many homeowners here are not looking for a quick refresh. They want a full kitchen remodel with a new layout, custom or semi-custom cabinets, a large island and stone surfaces that match the rest of the house.

How the community came together

Southern Highlands began with a land swap between the Bureau of Land Management and Arizona-based Olympic Group, closed in two phases in October 1996 and April 1997. The Clark County Commission gave tentative approval in May 1997. The project was first called Olympic Highlands and was renamed by November 1998 after the U.S. Olympic Committee objected. The private Southern Highlands Golf Club opened in 1999, and by 2005 there were about 7,000 homes, with approval for up to 10,400. That puts much of the housing in the late 1990s to mid-2000s range, which is about when original kitchens start needing more than cosmetic work.

Jurisdiction and the HOA

Southern Highlands is in Enterprise, an unincorporated town governed by the Clark County Commission, so Clark County is the building jurisdiction for work that requires review. On the community side, the Southern Highlands HOA runs a 24-hour security patrol. For a kitchen remodel, that means contractor names, vehicle details and delivery times often need to be cleared in advance. We handle that paperwork with you before day one so trucks are not turned away at the gate.

Full remodel planning

A full kitchen remodel in a home of this size involves more coordination than a simple update. Our process: 1. Walkthrough and measurement. We look at the kitchen, the adjoining rooms and anything behind the walls that could affect the plan. 2. Layout. We sketch options for island size, appliance placement, a scullery or prep area if space allows, and lighting. 3. Selections. Cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring and fixtures, with lead times noted. 4. Written quote and schedule. Every line item listed, with an estimated timeline. 5. Build. Demolition, rough work, cabinets, templating, countertops, finishes and cleanup.

Islands, stone and large-format tile

Southern Highlands kitchens often have room for a long island with seating on two sides, a second sink or a beverage area. Large stone slabs need careful templating and enough people to set them without damage. We also install large-format tile backsplashes and floors, which need flat substrates; we check the floor before quoting so there are no surprises.

Not every project is a full gut

We also do targeted work here: cabinet refacing, a countertop swap, a new backsplash or a modest refresh before a sale. The same access planning applies to small jobs as to large ones.

Golf course homes

The private Southern Highlands Golf Club surrounds the community, and some homes look out over it. If your kitchen has a view of the course or the mountains, we plan upper cabinets, hood placement and lighting so they do not block it.
