About Construction by Mirage: Las Vegas Remodelers Since 2005
The licensed contractor who answers the phone is the same one who walks your job at the end. Family-run in Las Vegas since 2005.
Built on a simple promise
Construction by Mirage was founded in 2005 by Craig Herrmann on the belief that a homeowner’s property deserves professional care and honest work.
Two decades later, that’s still the whole idea. We remodel and improve homes and condos across the Las Vegas valley, and we run each project the way we’d want ours run: clear pricing, a real schedule, and a family name we’re willing to put on the result.
We keep the work in-house where it counts, communicate directly, and leave your home clean at the end of every day. People and property matter. It is how we decide what to do, not a line painted on a wall.
The standards behind every job
Accountability
Licensed (#59782) and financially responsible to every client. We own the outcome.
Transparency
Budgets and schedules are presented up front, with the risks discussed honestly.
Craftsmanship
Superior quality and value, held to the highest standard on every finish.
On time, on budget
Cost control and schedules taken as seriously as the work itself.
Local roots
Serving the Las Vegas community since 2005: homes, condos, and neighbors.
Real relationships
Working together with our clients to make the process straightforward.
How the company is put together
We are deliberately small. Craig Herrmann runs the business and walks the jobs, and the people you meet at the estimate are the people you deal with through the project. There is no sales team, no account manager, and nobody whose job is to be pleasant to you until the contract is signed.
Project management, carpentry and finish work sit in-house, because those are the trades where the difference between competent and excellent is visible for the next twenty years. Specialist trades come from licensed subcontractors we have used for years, and we hold their license and insurance certificates rather than assuming. When one of them is on your job, we are still the ones accountable for the result. It seems only fair that you can do the same to us, so our license, bond and insurance details are set out on their own page, with the four steps to check #59782 against the state database yourself.
Staying small is a choice with a cost. It means we cannot take on unlimited work at once, and in busy months there is a wait. We would rather tell you that than accept a job we cannot staff properly and then quietly let the schedule slip.
Who we are a good fit for
You want one company accountable for the whole thing. If you would rather not spend your evenings coordinating a tile setter around a plumber, that is precisely the problem general contracting exists to solve.
You want to know the number before you start. We put the price and the finish date in writing, and changes go through a written change order rather than appearing on the final invoice.
Your project touches something structural or permitted. Additions, wall removals, moved plumbing, basement finishing. This is where a license stops being a formality.
You are less of a fit if you want the cheapest possible bid. We are not the lowest number you will receive, and we will not get there by leaving waterproofing, permits or electrical upgrades out of the scope so the total looks smaller. If price is the only variable that matters, someone else will win that comparison and we would rather say so early.
About Construction by Mirage
How long have you been in business?
Since 2005. Craig Herrmann founded the company in Las Vegas and it has been family-run for the whole of that time.
Are you actually local?
Yes. Las Vegas based, working this valley only. We are not a national brand licensing a name to a local operator, which is worth checking whoever you hire.
Who will be on my job?
Craig or a project lead is your point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final walk. The trades vary with the scope, and every one of them is licensed and insured.
Do you do commercial work as well as homes?
Both. Most of our work is residential, but we run commercial and medical build-outs around operating hours. The A-Z Women’s Center rebuild is a good example.
What does “People and Property Matter” actually mean day to day?
Practically: budgets and schedules on the table before we start, a clean site at the end of each day, and a straight answer when the news is inconvenient. There is more on that on our core values page.
What areas do you serve?
Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Green Valley, Centennial Hills, Anthem, Southern Highlands and the surrounding Clark County communities.
Work with the people whose name is on the contract.
Ask for an estimate and Craig walks your project himself. You get a written price and a finish date, at no cost and with no salesperson in the middle.
