General Contractor in Whitney — Licensed & Insured, Written Fixed-Price Quotes

Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Whitney

Whitney homeowners call us when a project outgrows the handyman stage and needs one accountable contractor who actually shows up on time. We work throughout 89122, from the older subdivisions off Boulder Highway to the pockets near East Tropicana Avenue, and we know this area’s homes well enough to quote accurately before we ever open a wall. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom overhaul, room addition, or garage conversion in Whitney, call (888) 445-6077 and we’ll walk the property, talk through what you want, and give you a written line-item estimate. No pressure, no vague allowances, just a real number from someone who knows what Whitney houses hide behind their drywall.

Why Ellsworth Contractors Is Whitney’s Preferred General Contractor Company

The short version: we answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we quote Whitney work honestly because we’ve done enough of it to know what’s behind the walls of a 1960s ranch here. Reed Calloway runs our crews with a simple rule, which is that no wall gets closed until the homeowners knows exactly what’s inside it and what every upgrade costs. That matters in Whitney more than most places, because the housing stock in 89122 runs older, and “older” usually means cloth-wrapped wiring, cast-iron drain lines, and framing that was undersized even by the standards of its day.

Whitney homeowners who’ve hired us tend to mention the same two things in reviews: we don’t pad change orders, and we don’t disappear between permit sign-offs. Our response time for a first visit in Whitney is usually within a few days, and for an active project our crew is on site on a set schedule, not whenever the next subcontractor frees up. Since most of the work in this area sits under Clark County’s permit authority, not Las Vegas or Henderson, we handle the county’s rough-in inspection sequence on every structural job, which saves homeowners the headache of a failed inspection delaying their kitchen by three weeks.

Construction Company in Whitney

As a construction company working throughout Whitney, NV, our bread and butter is taking an older 89122 home and making it work for how people actually live now: wider kitchens, usable extra bedrooms, and garages that become rentable or livable space. A home addition in Whitney typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and what the county requires for setbacks on your lot. Garage conversions come in at $30,000 to $80,000 once you account for insulation, electrical, plumbing if you’re adding a bath, and the window and egress upgrades Clark County inspectors will insist on.

Room Additions and Garage Conversions

Small lots are the rule in much of Whitney, which is why so many homeowners add up or convert rather than build out. A well-planned addition on a 6,000-square-foot parcel off Boulder Highway usually means working within tight setback lines, and Clark County will check every inch of your survey before issuing the permit. We handle the survey, the plans, the permit submittal, and the build, so you’re not driving between the county office and a drafter’s desk.

Structural Repairs and Code Upgrades

When we open a Whitney home for any structural change, we almost always find something the previous remodel covered up: a spliced joist, a missing header, or dry-rot from an old leak. We photograph it, we price it, and we get your written sign-off before any repair goes on the invoice. No surprises, because we look before we quote the finish work.

Remodeling Contractor in Whitney

As a remodeling contractor serving Whitney, our job is to get a dated 89122 house to a finished state where nothing leaks, everything drains, and the rooms actually feel like they belong together. Kitchen remodels in Whitney run $14,000 to $45,000, and bath remodels typically land between $9,000 and $28,000. The range swings on whether we’re doing a facelift, keeping the same footprint and reusing the existing plumbing locations, or a full gut that moves walls and rewires an entire room.

Kitchen and Bath Remodeling

We quote older Whitney kitchens and baths with a pre-demo inspection first. That’s the step most contractors skip, and it’s the reason remodeling quotes here jump mid-job. We open the lower cabinets, check joist direction, look for old water stains, and spot the wiring type before we ever hand you a number. Then we write allowances for the finishes, get your sign-off, and start the demo knowing the number on the contract is real.

Whole-Home and Multi-Room Work

When the job spans kitchen, bath, flooring, and paint, one accountable contractor matters more than a bid sheet. We schedule trades in sequence so the tile goes in after the plumbing rough-in passes and before the cabinets arrive, and we keep a project file you can see at any point with every county sign-off and material order logged. You’re not chasing three crews. You’re talking to us.

Trusted Brands We Service in Whitney

We stock and install fixtures from Toto and American Standard in our Whitney bath projects, and for tile work we build on Schluter waterproofing systems, not just cement board and caulk. Schluter is a technical detail worth knowing about, because a shower that’s waterproofed before the tile goes on will still be dry ten years after a tile-only installation fails. We work with specific brands for a reason: a Sterling tub or Toto toilet installs cleanly, parts are available locally, and the manufacturer actually stands behind the product, which means our workmanship warranty isn’t carrying the whole weight of the project alone.

Common General Contractor Problems We See in Whitney Homes

• Cloth-wrapped electrical wiring: Most 1950s and 1960s homes in Whitney still have original cloth-over-rubber wiring, and once a wall is open, Clark County code says it has to be brought up to current standard. That’s a real line item, and we write it into the contract before demo starts, not as a change order after.
• Roof and flashing failures from UV and monsoon season: Intense sun bakes Whitney roof surfaces all summer, and then a monsoon downpour finds the cracked seam. If we’re doing an interior remodel that touches exterior walls, we check the roof-to-wall flashing while the scope is still being written.
• Undersized framing on load-bearing walls: Builders in the 1960s and 1970s used the minimum header size allowed, and a plan to remove a wall for an open kitchen often reveals a header that should be upgraded for today’s span tables. We size it before we cut, and the county plan review confirms it.
• Failed waterproofing from old shower pans: We’ve pulled more than one old tub in Whitney and found the subfloor beneath it rotten from a shower leak that had been running behind the tile for years. The fix is straightforward when it’s open, but it has to be priced before the new tile goes in.
