Las Vegas Handymen

Originally published March 2017

Contractors. Vendors.  Handymen. Same guys.

To protect ourselves for liability and assorted related nightmare’s I hire only licensed, bonded and insured vendors.  As one judge most recently said, “no license, no justice.”  I firmly believe that the benefits outweigh cost cutting alternatives.

The NV State Contractors Board (http://www.nvcontractorsboard.com/) has broken down each trade and requirements for licensing.  For example a Handyman can perform repair work if the value is less than $1000, including labor and materials.   The classifications go on.  Contracting is a highly regulated field.

I mention this because the economy in LV has improved, and when construction jobs are everywhere – housing developments, road improvements, and expanding commercial facilities – skilled tradesmen are no longer taking small jobs to make ends meet.  They are heading off to the big money.

Be careful if you hire a handyman on your own. Ask for proof of license and maybe a referral or two.  Protect yourself.

If you use my vendors you can be certain that I am maintaining a professional  symbiotic relationship, and most importantly they are qualified and experienced to handle the work they are hired to perform.

Happy Spring! d
