Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Las Vegas
Home remodeling in Las Vegas runs about $14,000 to $45,000 for a full interior renovation, with additions and ADUs going well above that depending on caliche, permitting jurisdiction, and material access. We’ve been working acreage parcels and close-in stucco neighborhoods here long enough to know which questions to ask before we quote. If you’re planning a remodel on a half-acre lot off Decatur, a 1960s ranch in 89102, or a tract home in the southwest valley, the permitting path and the ground under your slab are the first things we scope. Call (877) 265-5715 and we’ll walk the property before we put a number in writing.
Why Steel Horse Construction Is Las Vegas’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Most remodelers in Las Vegas quote from a city permit checklist. We start with the county recorder and the soil. A lot of acreage parcels people assume are “Las Vegas” are actually unincorporated Clark County, and that changes setbacks, septic distances, and which inspector signs off. Homeowners around 89101 through 89104 – the older ranch and block-stucco core – call us because we know those houses. Built in the 1950s through the 1970s, they carry flat territorial roofs, block walls, and slab foundations that have been cooking in Mojave heat for fifty years. We’ve pulled those permits, jackhammered that caliche, and poured concrete before sunrise when the thermometer already reads 90 at 6 a.m. Russ Dillard leads every project the same way: we scope the full envelope, spec the brand that fits the job, and keep one crew accountable from roofline to foundation. One contractor. Every phase.
Las Vegas homeowners tell us the same thing repeatedly: they got three bids, two were city-assumption quotes that fell apart when the county plot plan came back, and one never called back. We return calls. We show up for the estimate with a county map and a soil probe in the truck. Our reputation in Las Vegas is built on handling the stuff most bids conveniently skip: caliche pre-drilling, dawn concrete placement, long material hauls on unpaved lots, and septic setbacks measured from the actual well. You don’t pay a change order later because we scoped it the first day.
Styles & brands we work with







Full Home Remodel in Las Vegas
A Full Home Remodel in Las Vegas typically means taking a 1960s block-and-stucco ranch or a mid-2000s tract house down to the studs in the living spaces and rebuilding it as one cohesive project – not a series of trade visits. These jobs run $14,000 to $45,000 depending on square footage, how much caliche the foundation work hits, and whether the house sits in city limits or unincorporated Clark County. On acreage lots, a full remodel often includes the detached shop, the well line, and the septic field – because a real full-scope job means the whole envelope, not just what’s inside the back door.
Burn-Down Scope and Foundation Reality
We open walls in Las Vegas homes and find what the heat and the decades left behind: cracked stucco, dried-out sealant at window returns, and slabs that shifted on expansive desert soils. Before we order cabinets, we check the footing lines and the plumbing rough-in. Caliche hardpan doesn’t show up on a floor plan, but it shows up in the excavation budget. We pre-drill where the engineer marks it and we don’t pretend it isn’t there.
Material Selection Without the Guessing
We carry access to KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, James Hardie siding, and Cambria and Silestone countertops. That means we can spec a kitchen that survives Las Vegas temperature swings without the homeowner’s having to play designer against three separate showrooms. We spec the brand that fits the job, not the brand with the best spiff.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Las Vegas
A Home Remodeling Contractor in Las Vegas either carries the full scope or hands you a pile of subcontractor numbers. We carry the scope. That’s the difference when you’re adding a permitted ADU to a half-acre lot off North Decatur, converting a detached shop to living space, or tearing out a 1970s kitchen in 89102. What we quote is what we build: framing, rough-in, drywall, finish plumbing, exterior envelope, hardscape. Our Home Remodeling process starts with a site walk on your actual parcel, not a drive-by. Then we pull the right permit – city or county – and give you a written line-item quote based on the real conditions.
Detached Shops, ADUs, and County Permits
On acreage parcels around Las Vegas, the “house” is often the easy part. The shop, the well, the septic – those are the parts a remodeler forgets to price. We’ve converted detached shops to permitted ADUs in 89108 and 89139, and every one of them required septic setback verification from the Clark County plot plan before a single wall went up. That’s not a delay. That’s the job.
Long Hauls and Open Lots
When there’s no paved drive and the concrete truck has to come in from the road edge, the schedule changes. We plan pours for dawn – 5 a.m. placements when the desert hasn’t yet hit 100 – and we account for the pump distance, the wheelbarrow runs, and the equipment access on a lot with no curb cut. If a bid doesn’t mention any of that, it wasn’t bid on your property.
Trusted Brands We Service in Las Vegas
We’re authorized to install and service Tuff Shed structures, James Hardie siding, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and a long roster of roofing, window, plumbing, and hardscape manufacturers. For Las Vegas customers that means we stock or quickly source the parts that the desert kills fastest: expansion-joint sealants, stucco patch materials, low-pitch flat-roof flashing, and UV-rated caulks. We don’t just install a brand and disappear. We keep the material records on file and can reorder the same product line when a repair comes due in five years.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Las Vegas Homes
- Caliche surprises. Excavators hit near-concrete hardpan on open lots and in older neighborhoods alike. We pre-drill rather than hammer-and-pray, and we build that cost into the quote up front so the concrete pour stays within the dawn window.
- County vs. city permit confusion. A parcel that says Las Vegas on the mailing address can be unincorporated Clark County on the plot plan. Septic tanks, wells, and outbuildings all get measured differently – and the wrong assumption invalidates the bid.
- Thermal cracking and dried sealants. Summer highs over 105°F cook stucco and window seals. Remodels around Las Vegas need materials spec’d for extreme UV and rapid drying, not whatever the showroom had in stock.
- Unpriced long material hauls. On acreage lots with no paved access, concrete trucks, framing packs, and equipment deliveries cost real money and real schedule time. We scope the haul before we quote, not after the paperwork is signed.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Las Vegas
We spec from 50+ vetted manufacturers, including KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinets, Cambria and Silestone for countertops, James Hardie for siding, and Tuff Shed for detached structures. The right brand depends on the house, the budget, and the Las Vegas sun. Call (877) 265-5715 and we’ll walk through what fits your job – free.
We schedule the first site walk within days, not weeks. The start date depends on permit routing – city of Las Vegas vs. Clark County – and whether caliche testing is needed before footings. Once the plot plan is cleared and the permit drops, we mobilize. Call for a current schedule.
Yes. We pull the permit from whichever jurisdiction actually governs your parcel. That’s the city of Las Vegas for 89101, 89102, and most in-city lots, or Clark County for unincorporated parcels and acreage. We do not build without the right permit, and we don’t quote without knowing which one applies.
Not if the scope was written from a real site walk. Change orders in Las Vegas usually trace back to caliche the first bid never tested for, or a septic setback measured wrong. We pre-drill, we read the county plot plan before quoting, and we keep the line items fixed. The only changes come from you asking for more work.
A full interior remodel on an in-city home typically runs 8 to 14 weeks depending on permitting and material lead times. Acreage jobs with ADUs, septic work, or caliche-heavy excavation can run longer. We give you a written schedule at contract and update it every week. Call (877) 265-5715 for a timeline on your specific project.
