Our Las Vegas Remodeling Projects
Kitchens, baths, flooring, and whole-home improvements across the Las Vegas valley.
Every photograph on this page came off a job our own crew ran, in a house or a condo somewhere in the Las Vegas valley. Most of it is the kind of work that never makes a magazine: a floor laid flat on a difficult slab, a wall patched and textured so the repair disappears, a condo kitchen fitted around a riser that was never going to move.
We have kept the gallery honest rather than staged. If a finished room looks ordinary, that is usually a good sign. Most competent remodeling looks unremarkable once it is done, because the skill went into the parts you can no longer see.
Residential work is the bulk of what we do, but not all of it. Over the years we have also worked for State Farm, Hard Rock Cafe, U-Haul, Gatski Commercial, Black & Cherry Real Estate and Tivoli Village. Commercial clients care about the same two things homeowners do, which is a firm price and a firm date, and they are less forgiving about both.
What we are usually called in for
Kitchens
Cabinets, stone counters, tile and the plumbing and electrical that have to move with them. Full remodels and targeted updates both. See kitchen and bathroom remodeling.
Bathrooms
Tub-to-shower conversions, custom tiled pans built properly, vanities, and the waterproofing behind the tile that decides whether any of it lasts.
Hardwood floors
Installation and refinishing on slab-on-grade homes, where moisture testing and acclimation matter more than the wood you pick. See hardwood flooring.
Condos and high-rises
Renovations inside buildings with architectural review, insurance requirements and freight elevator windows. See condo remodeling.
Additions and basements
Room additions, casitas and below-grade finishing, all of it permitted and inspected so the square footage counts when you sell.
Paint and finish carpentry
Texture-matched drywall repair, trim, doors and built-ins. The work that makes a house feel finished rather than merely decorated.
What a project looks like from your side
People rarely ask what the gallery photos cost. They ask what the month looked like for the family living there, which is the more useful question.
A typical remodel starts with a walkthrough, then a written price and a finish date. Once you approve it we order the long-lead items first, because cabinets and countertops set the schedule and nothing else can start until they are locked. Permits and any HOA submittal run in parallel from that same week rather than in sequence, which is where most self-managed projects quietly lose a month.
During construction you get a sealed work zone, a site swept at the end of each day, and a call when something changes. Anything found behind a wall gets shown to you, priced, and approved in writing before we carry on. At the end we walk the job together and stay until your list is finished, not ours.
If you want the detail rather than the summary, our guide to remodeling timelines gives real durations by project type.
A commercial rebuild, start to finish
The A-Z Women’s Center needed a 4,500 sq ft medical office rebuilt without closing the practice. Here is the whole job: scope, sequencing, and how we kept them seeing patients throughout.
Three jobs, written up properly
What the client actually asked for, what turned out to be wrong, and what it took to put right.
Climate-Controlled Garage for an Events Company
What it takes to make a Las Vegas garage hold a temperature, and why insulation on its own will not do it.
Read the case studyGarage Drywall Repaired Before a Listing
Why a home inspector writes up unfinished garage drywall, and how the repair gets done inside a listing schedule.
Read the case studyWater Coming In Above the Windows
Why a stucco wall lets water in at the head of a window, and what a repair that actually holds has to take off and put back.
Read the case studyFour jobs, four different kinds of call
“My garage cooks everything in it”
An events company needed storage their electronics could survive. Read the garage case study.
“I have to fix this before I list”
A seller with a listing date and damaged drywall in the garage, which is not the cosmetic repair most people assume it is. Read the pre-listing case study.
“Water comes in when it rains”
A southwest-facing wall letting water in above the windows, found with thermal imaging and fixed from both sides. Read the wall repair case study.
“We cannot close while you work”
A 4,500 sq ft medical office rebuilt around a practice that kept seeing patients throughout. Read the A-Z Women’s Center rebuild.
Shorter jobs, same standard
“Great company! Recommended by a friend. Great front office staff! Great management! Great contractors! Great owner! Our home was put back together like new!”
Karen T.Google review“Craig runs his business with honor. If something isn’t right he will make it right. That is the most important thing. His crews are friendly and they do a good job!”
Curt M.Google review“We have used Construction by Mirage many times and they are always professional, do a great job and always friendly and thorough.”
Liane H.Google review“Excellent and timely performance of work. Considerate of house and contents.”
Dean N.Google reviewWhat these write-ups are, and what they are not
Every case study here starts from a job a client wrote about publicly afterwards. Their words are quoted on the page and attributed, and the situation and the outcome are theirs rather than ours.
What we add is the part a review cannot carry: why the problem happens in this valley specifically, what the work involved, and the order it had to happen in. Where a detail is not something we can state, it is not on the page. You will not find invented square footages, made-up durations or a price we have reverse engineered to look impressive.
That is a deliberate trade. It makes these pages less dramatic than the case studies you will read elsewhere, and it means everything on them is true.
What they have in common
Three of these four started with a client who thought they knew what the job was, and in each case the diagnosis moved it. A garage that needed sealing before it needed equipment. A drywall repair that was really about a required fire separation. A window leak that was entering the wall several feet higher up.
That is not a coincidence, and it is not us being clever. It is what happens when somebody looks at the whole assembly rather than the symptom, which is most of what a general contractor is for. The alternative is a series of small repairs by different trades, each of which is competent at the thing they were called for, and none of which is responsible for whether the problem is actually gone.
The other thing they share is boring: written price, real finish date, a licensed contractor accountable at the end of it. NV #59782, the same as every other job we run.
About our Las Vegas projects
Can I visit a finished project?
Sometimes, with the owner’s permission. We will not promise it up front because it depends on who is willing, but for larger projects we can usually arrange for you to speak with a past client whose job resembled yours.
Are these your own crews or subcontractors?
Both, and we are straight about which. Carpentry, finish work and project management are in-house. Licensed subcontractors cover the specialist trades, and we hold their license and insurance certificates on file.
Do you have references?
Yes, and any contractor who will not give you recent ones is telling you something. Ask for projects similar to yours rather than a general list.
How old are these photographs?
They span recent years of work across the valley. The A-Z Women’s Center rebuild is documented with job-site photography taken during construction, including the damage we found once the casework came out.
Will my project be photographed?
Only if you are happy for it to be. We ask, and no is a perfectly normal answer that changes nothing about the job.
Are the case studies real jobs?
Yes. Each one starts from a public review left by the client it describes, and their words are quoted on the page. We have shortened names to the convention used elsewhere on the site.
Do you take on jobs as small as those?
Yes. One of them was a drywall repair in a garage. There is no minimum, though for very small work we will sometimes tell you a handyman is the more sensible hire.
