Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Paradise
Home remodeling in Paradise, NV comes with a wrinkle most contractors never mention: a huge share of the parcels here are unincorporated Clark County “islands,” which means county permits, septic reviews, and well setbacks control your remodel, not Las Vegas city rules. We’ve scoped hundreds of projects in Paradise neighborhoods, from the mid-century ranch pockets near Tropicana Avenue to the stucco subdivisions east of Maryland Parkway, so we know exactly what Clark County will ask for before the first wall comes down. Call Reed Calloway at (888) 445-6077 for a free estimate on your Paradise remodel, and we’ll walk you through the permitting reality of your specific parcel.
Why Ellsworth Contractors Is Paradise’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Paradise homeowners hire us because we don’t treat unincorporated Clark County like a footnote. The moment we pull your parcel number, we check whether you’re on a septic system, what your well setback is, and whether your remodel triggers a county drainage review. That upfront site work prevents the stop-work orders and re-permitting fees that plague remodels here when contractors assume Las Vegas permits cover everything.
Reed Calloway started Ellsworth Contractors to handle exactly this kind of project: a single accountable general contractor who can take a Paradise home from roofline to paver without handing you off to three separate crews. When you call, you talk to someone who has actually walked Paradise lots with Clark County inspectors, not a call center reading a script.
Clients across Paradise keep telling us the same thing: the estimate was thorough, the material selections were specific to their budget, and the permit process never became their problem. That’s the job. We show up when we say we will, we name the exact products going into your home, and we close out every permit before we call the project done.
One Contractor for Interior, Exterior, and Site Work
On a full Paradise remodel, you’re often dealing with a 1960s shell that needs new plumbing rough-in, a roof that has baked under 110°F summers, and site drainage that failed during last monsoon season. We handle all of it under one contract. Kitchen and bath work sits alongside roofing, siding, windows, fencing, and hardscaping, so you don’t have to coordinate a plumber, a roofer, and a paver guy who all blame each other when the schedule slips.
Material Depth Most Remodelers Can’t Match
We specify cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria and Silestone, and build assemblies around real waterproofing systems. When a Paradise client wants a Cambria quartz island that has to arrive in one piece along a winding county road, we know the lead time, the fabrication shop, and the handling requirements before we quote. The product is never swapped for whatever is sitting in a warehouse.
Serving Paradise’s Unincorporated Parcel Reality
Large parts of Paradise sit outside Las Vegas city limits even though they’re surrounded by urban development. That means Clark County Public Works, Clark County Building Department, and Southern Nevada Health District can all touch your project. We know which forms you’ll need, what the fees run, and how long review typically takes for your parcel type. You won’t get that from a contractor who only works inside Las Vegas city boundaries.
Styles & brands we work with
Full Home Remodel in Paradise
A full home remodel in Paradise usually means opening up a 1960s ranch or a 1990s stucco two-story and replacing every tired system at once: plumbing, electrical, insulation, flooring, kitchen, baths, windows, and often the roof. On unincorporated island parcels, it also means verifying the septic system still meets current setback rules before you spend a dollar on framing. In Paradise, a full home remodel generally runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen, $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom, and $45,000 to $130,000 when you’re adding square footage to the home. We pull Clark County permits, we manage the septic and well reviews, and we keep the project moving while inspections happen.
Scope and Sequencing on Island Parcels
The sequencing on a Paradise full remodel is different than in Las Vegas proper. We often pull the septic permit and the building permit at the same time, because Clark County will not sign off on framing until the septic review is cleared. If your parcel is on a private well, the well setback check happens before the addition location is final. We handle both in week one so they never stall the schedule later.
When a Full Remodel Makes Sense
If your Paradise home has original cast iron plumbing, single-pane windows, a 100-amp panel, and a kitchen that has not been touched since the Nixon administration, a piecemeal approach will cost more over five years than one coordinated remodel. We plan the full scope up front, price it in line items, and let you choose materials that match the house, not the clearance rack.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Paradise
Hiring a home remodeling contractor in Paradise is different from hiring one in Las Vegas because your contractor’s permit knowledge directly affects your budget and timeline. A contractor who files the wrong paperwork on an unincorporated parcel near a septic system will get a stop-work order, and you’ll be the one paying for the delay. As your Home Remodeling contractor, we handle the Clark County site plan, the percolation test if needed, the well setback review, and the building permit all before demolition starts. Expect a full kitchen remodel in Paradise at $14,000 to $45,000, a bathroom remodel at $9,000 to $28,000, and a garage conversion at $30,000 to $80,000.
Permit-Driven Pricing, Not Guesswork
We price Paradise remodels off the parcel, not off a generic spreadsheet. A room addition on a quarter-acre lot with clear septic setbacks will cost less to permit than the same addition on a half-acre lot where the drain field sits 20 feet from the proposed wall. We pull the parcel map, check the health district records, and give you a written estimate that reflects the actual path to approval.
Working Around Septic and Well Constraints
A detached ADU or a garage conversion on a Paradise island parcel often triggers a septic capacity review. If the existing system is grandfathered and you’re adding a bathroom or a kitchen, Clark County may require a new drain field or a larger tank. We scope that cost before you commit to the project, so the bid you approve on day one is the same number you see at final inspection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Paradise
Paradise clients ask for specific products by name, and we can deliver them. We specify Home Remodeling cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and countertops from Cambria and Silestone when the project calls for quartz. We maintain direct relationships with these manufacturers, which means we know current lead times and availability for Paradise deliveries, not just what a supplier’s website says. If you want a Cambria countertop in a specific colorway for a kitchen near Eastern Avenue, we can tell you whether it’s in regional stock before you sign.
Material availability matters more in Paradise than people expect. Some island parcels have narrow access roads that restrict freight truck turning, so we plan deliveries in coordination with the fabricator and the freight carrier. The right product still arrives on time, and we don’t substitute a generic equivalent without your written approval.
Common Home Remodeling Problems We See in Paradise Homes
- Septic setbacks stalling additions. A 1970s ranch on an unincorporated island often has a drain field placed exactly where you want the new primary suite. Clark County will not approve the addition until the septic system is relocated or the footprint is revised. We check this before you fall in love with a floor plan.
- Monsoon drainage flooding new patios and outbuildings. Open lots in Paradise slope toward the house more often than people realize. Without grading and a proper swale, a remodeled patio or a new detached shop floods during July and August microbursts, and the water finds the foundation. We include grading in the scope from the start.
- Aging stucco and roofing giving up in extreme heat. 110°F summers bake Paradise exteriors. Sealant cracks, tile roofs slip, and single-pane windows fail. A remodel that ignores the exterior shell will look fresh inside while water intrusion slowly wrecks the framing. We inspect the roof, stucco, and window seals on every full remodel.
- Slab-on-grade plumbing re-pipes under original slabs. Most mid-century Paradise homes are built on slab, and the original cast iron or galvanized supply lines are failing. Tunneling under the slab or rerouting through the attic adds real cost to a kitchen or bath remodel. We price it honestly, and we show you what’s actually in your walls before we cut.

A 1970s island parcel with a grandfathered septic system will push a kitchen remodel toward the higher end if the drain field needs work. A 1990s stucco home with PEX plumbing and no septic will land near the middle of the range.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Paradise
Because your parcel is likely an unincorporated Clark County island, not Las Vegas city land. Clark County Building Department and Southern Nevada Health District govern permits, septic reviews, and well setbacks on those islands, and Las Vegas city permits do not apply. We verify your parcel’s jurisdiction before quoting, so you never get a stop-work order mid-project. Call (888) 445-6077 and we’ll check your parcel for free.
Any addition, garage conversion, or detached ADU that adds plumbing or gets closer to your drain field or well will trigger a Clark County review. If the septic system sits too close to the proposed footprint, you’ll need to relocate the drain field or revise the plan. We recently remodeled a 1970s ranch on a half-acre lot near Tropicana Avenue and Eastern Avenue where the original septic sat too close to the proposed addition. After a site plan and percolation test, we relocated the drain field, installed new PVC rough-in, and got Clark County sign-off before framing. The job stayed on schedule and the client’s well water was untouched. Call us for a setback check before you commit to a plan.
The biggest risk is opening walls and finding cast iron plumbing and a 100-amp panel that both need full replacement. Most 1960s ranches in Paradise also have flat or low-slope roofs with decades of heat damage. We price these systems into the scope from day one rather than “discovering” them halfway through. A full remodel with honest upfront scoping runs $14,000 to $45,000 for the kitchen and $9,000 to $28,000 for the bath, depending on what’s behind the drywall. Call (888) 445-6077 for a written estimate.
Yes. A detached ADU on an unincorporated Paradise parcel requires a Clark County building permit, a site plan, and usually a septic capacity review. If you have a private well, the well setback gets checked too. ADUs in Paradise typically run $90,000 to $220,000 depending on size, finishes, and whether you’re on septic or sewer. We handle the permits and the build, and we’ll tell you early if your septic system can support the added occupancy.
We grade the lot before we pour anything. Paradise monsoon microbursts from July through September dump water fast, and open lots without a proper swale send that water straight into foundations, patios, and outbuildings. We design the drainage into the remodel scope, including paver and concrete slopes, roof tie-downs, and any swale or retention the county requires. This protects your remodel from the first storm it has to survive. Call (888) 445-6077 for a drainage review on your Paradise property.
Get Your Paradise Remodel Scoped by Someone Who Knows the County Rules
Paradise remodels live and die by what happens before the permit is filed.
