AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across North Las Vegas
Roofing - North Las Vegas isn’t all we do; kitchen remodeling in North Las Vegas costs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with small remodels running $9,000-$20,000. Most of the kitchens we remodel in North Las Vegas fall into two groups: 1960s-1980s ranch homes in the older city core (ZIP codes 89030, 89031, 89032) that carry decades of deferred maintenance, and 2003-2008 production builds in the northern master-planned communities that are hitting the age where builder-grade cabinets, laminate counters, and cheap hardware all fail at once. Our crews work North Las Vegas every week. We know the permit office on Civic Center Drive, we know the caliche under your slab, and we know what happens when an inspector finds an unpermitted garage conversion behind your kitchen wall. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your kitchen with you, no charge.

Every permit gets pulled and every inspection gets signed. And every contract carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
We’re not new to North Las Vegas.

We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, not a voicemail box. When a North Las Vegas homeowner calls on a Saturday morning because their cabinet installer ghosted them mid-project, Tom’s picking up.
Ask anyone on your street. Or look up our license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number, and the City of North Las Vegas has our permit history on file.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in North Las Vegas
We handle everything from a three-week partial refresh to a down-to-the-studs Kitchen Remodeling project. In North Las Vegas, the scope usually starts with what the original builder skimped on, and that’s where we start too.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in North Las Vegas means demolition to the studs, new layout if the space allows, new electrical and plumbing rough-in, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, backsplash, and finish work. In the older 89030-89032 ranch homes, we frequently find wiring that was adequate in 1975 and isn’t close to code now. In the 2003-2008 builds, we find the opposite: undersized insulation and slab settlement from caliche subgrade that was never compacted. Both get corrected before we close the walls. Expect $14,000-$45,000 depending on footprint and finish level.
Cabinets & Countertops
Builder-grade cabinets in North Las Vegas production homes are typically particleboard boxes with thermofoil doors. By year 15, the thermofoil is peeling and the drawer slides are sagging. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz countertops, and as a North Las Vegas Certainteed service provider, we’ll tell you honestly whether refacing makes sense for your existing boxes or whether you’re better off with new boxes entirely. Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000. Countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Most North Las Vegas homes originally got a 4-inch laminate backsplash splash and sheet vinyl flooring in the kitchen. Homeowners upgrading to quartz or granite counters almost always extend the stone up the wall or switch to tile. We see a lot of hairline cracking in the fast-set stucco behind those backsplash tear-outs in the 89084-89087 neighborhoods, and we patch and float the wall surface before tile goes up. Backsplash installation in North Las Vegas runs $800-$2,500.
Kitchen Design & Layout
North Las Vegas ranches from the older core often have closed-off galley kitchens with a wall separating the kitchen from the living space. Production builds from the mid-2000s put kitchens on an island plan but skimped on clearance around the island. We do the layout work in-house. In the 89030/89031 homes with unpermitted conversions, layout planning also means checking what the city will require before a wall moves, because the Building & Safety Department keeps records on every address. Design and layout consultation is included with any full remodel.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Las Vegas

In North Las Vegas kitchens, we regularly install KraftMaid and Cabico cabinetry, Cambria quartz, and Andersen windows when a kitchen bump-out or garden window is part of the plan. We also offer North Las Vegas Windows & Doors for full home upgrades.

If you’re comparing bids, ask the other contractor what cabinet line they’re quoting. If they won’t tell you, that’s your answer.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in North Las Vegas Homes
- Unpermitted garage conversions and additions in 89030 and 89031. Foreclosure-era owners turned garages into rental rooms and kitchens without pulling permits. North Las Vegas inspectors flag these regularly, and work can’t proceed until the owner opens a retroactive permit file with the city.
- Caliche hardpan under the slab. The cemented calcium-carbonate layer sits 12-24 inches down across the North Las Vegas valley floor. Any new island plumbing or drain rough-in requires jackhammering through it. Contractors who don’t factor that in burn their contingency on day one.
- Fast-set stucco with hairline cracking in 2003-2008 production builds. The original exterior wall assembly often has fissures that transfer to kitchen walls when you remove base cabinets or resurface. We patch and float before finish work.
- Undersized insulation for 115°F+ summers. The kitchens in northern master-planned communities are often the hottest room in the house. We add insulation at exterior kitchen walls during remodels because the original package was never designed for sustained desert heat.
Recently our crew remodeled a kitchen in a 2007 production build in the 89084 ZIP code, where the original fast-set stucco had developed hairline cracks and the slab had settled unevenly because the caliche subgrade was never properly compacted. We replaced the builder-grade laminate counters with Cambria quartz, refaced the original KraftMaid cabinets, and opened the load-bearing wall to install a 9-foot island, then scheduled the rough-in and drywall inspections with the City of North Las Vegas on a day when the inspector could also walk the retrofitted water lines under the new island.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas has its own independent Building & Safety Department, completely separate from Clark County, and any kitchen remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural changes requires permits from the city itself. We pull every permit and schedule every inspection with the City of North Las Vegas office on Civic Center Drive. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him.
In the 89030 and 89031 ZIP codes, the clearest signs are a converted garage that doesn’t match the original floor plan, a second kitchen or wet bar that shouldn’t be there, and electrical or plumbing lines that run through walls in ways that don’t match the permitted drawings. The City of North Las Vegas keeps records on every address. We can pull the permit history before we start, and if there’s unpermitted work behind your kitchen wall, the city requires retroactive permits before any new work can legally proceed. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your address.
Replace the thermofoil cabinet doors first, the laminate countertops second, and the original sheet vinyl flooring third. Those are the finishes that fail visually and functionally by year 15 in North Las Vegas production builds. The cabinet boxes are often salvageable if you reface them, which saves thousands over new boxes.
Most builder warranties cover structural systems for 10 years and mechanical systems for 2, and a kitchen remodel generally won’t void the structural warranty unless the work itself damages covered components. That said, if your home is in a master-planned community with an HOA, check your CC&Rs before construction starts. Some HOAs require design review even for interior remodels. We’ll help you understand what your HOA requires.
In most North Las Vegas master-planned communities, interior remodels that don’t alter the exterior footprint don’t require HOA design review, but exterior changes related to the kitchen, like a range hood vent or garden window, almost always do. We’ll identify which pieces of your project trigger review and help you assemble the submittal. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you sort out the HOA paperwork.
