Check us before you hire us. Here are the credentials behind the work, and we will send the paperwork for your project on request.
License #59782
We carry an active Nevada State Contractors Board license and hold ourselves to the standards that come with it: proper permits, code-compliant work, and a licensed contractor accountable for the result on every job.

Four steps, about a minute, and you should do it to every contractor you consider
Open the Nevada State Contractors Board site
The NSCB maintains a public license database at nvcontractorsboard.com. Anyone can search it, at no cost, without an account.
Search license number 59782
Searching by number rather than by name is the reliable way, because business names are easy to imitate and license numbers are not.
Check the status and the name
Confirm the license is active and that the business name attached to it matches the company quoting you. A number that belongs to somebody else is the oldest trick there is.
Check the classification
A license is issued for particular classifications of work. Confirm that the classification covers what you are hiring for, not merely that a license exists.
License, bond and insurance do three different jobs
The license
It means the contractor met Nevada’s experience and financial requirements, and that the Board has a complaint process with real teeth if something goes wrong. It also means the permit can be pulled in our name rather than yours.
The bond
A surety bond is money set aside that a homeowner can claim against through the Board if a licensed contractor fails to perform. It is not insurance for us. It is recourse for you.
Liability insurance
This covers damage to your property caused during the work. Ask for the certificate to come directly from the insurer rather than as a forwarded photocopy, which is trivially easy to alter.
Workers compensation
If someone is injured on your job and the contractor carries no workers comp, the exposure can land on your homeowner policy. This is the coverage people forget to ask about.
Permits in our name
A contractor who asks you to pull the permit as an owner-builder is moving liability onto you and removing the protection you are paying for. We pull ours.
Lien releases
We collect signed releases as subcontractors are paid, so an unpaid sub cannot attach a lien to a house you have already paid in full for.
The local business license
A separate document from the state contractor license. Clark County and each city inside the valley issue their own business licenses, and the one that matters is the one covering where your house sits. Ask for it by name, because people assume the state license covers it and it does not.
What to ask any contractor, including us
The questions worth asking are unglamorous and they are all easy to answer honestly: What is your license number? Will the permit be in your name? Can your insurer send the certificate directly? What are the payment milestones, and what has to be finished before each one is due? Who is on site day to day, and who do I call when they are not?
A contractor who answers those without hesitating is not necessarily the right one for your project. But a contractor who becomes uncomfortable at the question has told you something useful, and it cost you nothing to find out.

Licensing and insurance questions
What is your Nevada contractor license number?
NV #59782, held since the company was founded in 2005 and active since. You can verify it yourself through the Nevada State Contractors Board.
Are you bonded and insured?
Yes to both. We can provide the certificates for your specific project, including an insurance certificate naming your HOA or building management as additional insured where an association requires it.
Do you carry workers compensation?
Yes, and so does every licensed subcontractor we bring onto a job. We keep their certificates on file rather than taking anyone’s word for it.
Who pulls the permit, you or me?
We do, in our name. Any contractor asking a homeowner to pull the permit as an owner-builder is shifting liability onto you, and it is worth understanding why before you agree to it.
Can I see the paperwork before I hire you?
Yes. Ask and we will send the license, bond and insurance details for your project. We would rather you checked.
What if I have a complaint?
Talk to us first, because most problems are faster to fix directly. Beyond that, Nevada provides a formal complaint process through the State Contractors Board, which is one of the practical reasons the license matters.
