Las Vegas tradesman
Meet Mike.Twenty‑five years of figuring out what’s actually wrong.
I work across construction, carpentry, electrical and home repair — the kind of background that comes from seeing how a house fits together, not just fixing what’s in front of you. I bring that to the everyday problems homeowners call about, across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Spring Valley, Paradise, and Enterprise.

Not one job.
Not one trade.
It came from years of working on real homes — construction sites, finish carpentry, electrical work, and the kind of repair calls that show up after something has already gone wrong. Each one taught a different piece of how a house actually works.
Construction teaches how a home is put together: what’s structural, what’s cosmetic, and how one system depends on another. Carpentry teaches precision — fit, finish, and the patience to redo something until it’s actually right.
Electrical work teaches safety and diagnosis, and just as much, respect for where the job should stop and a licensed electrician should take over.
Repair work teaches something different again: the thing a homeowner notices is rarely the whole story. Finding the actual cause, instead of patching what’s visible, is most of the job.
Every trade teaches you something the others don’t. Put them together and most of what shows up in a home starts making sense — and so does knowing when it’s time to bring in someone else.

Building &
construction
Years on construction sites teach how a house actually goes together — framing, sequencing, and why one trade's work depends on the one before it. That's the frame everything else hangs on.
Carpentry &
finish work
Carpentry is where precision shows. A door that closes quiet, trim that sits flush, a shelf that's actually level — finish work is what a homeowner notices every day, long after the job is done.
Electrical
troubleshooting
Enough experience to diagnose a problem correctly, handle it safely within non-permit scope, and know exactly where that scope ends — light fixtures, switches, GFCIs and similar minor work.
Doors, fixtures,
drywall & repairs
The everyday work: sticking doors, loose fixtures, drywall dents, worn trim, hardware that never got finished right. Small jobs done properly instead of rushed.
Maintenance
& diagnosis
Knowing what a home should look like when it's healthy makes it easier to catch what's actually wrong — and to tell you honestly whether it's a quick fix or something bigger.
How I approach a problemThe symptom is where you start. It isn’t the diagnosis.
“The door won’t latch properly any more.”
- Could be
The hinges — loosened, worn, or set slightly proud of the mortise.
- Could be
Strike-plate alignment, where the latch and the plate no longer meet square.
- Could be
The frame itself, pulled out of true.
- Could be
The house settling, which moves everything hung on it.
The fix depends on which one it actually is. Replacing a latch on a frame that has moved buys a few months at best.
A damaged wall isn’t always a drywall problem — sometimes it’s a slow leak or movement behind the surface that has to be found first.
A fixture that won’t sit right can come down to the mounting, the wiring, nearby plumbing, or the surrounding finish work, not the fixture itself.
These are patterns, not diagnoses — the cause always depends on taking a real look at your home.
The details make the difference.
Most of what separates a repair that lasts from one that looks finished on day one happens in the parts nobody photographs — the fit, the alignment, the half-millimetre.
A door that closes quiet. Trim that sits flush. A shelf that’s actually level.
Finish work is what a homeowner notices every day, long after the job is done.
Careful troubleshooting instead of guessing at the fix.
Protecting floors and treating the space like it matters — because it's your home, not a job site.
Cleanup when the job's done, not just when it's convenient.
Repairs meant to hold up, not just look finished on day one.
A repair playbook from a mild climate doesn’t hold up here.
Las Vegas homes deal with a specific set of conditions, and knowing them changes how a job gets done.
- HeatExtreme summer heat that stresses seals, caulking and finishes year-round.
- WaterHard water that wears on valves, water heaters and fixtures throughout a home — not only where the symptom shows.
- DustDust that works into weatherstripping, tracks and hardware over time.
- MovementDoor and trim movement as framing and slabs shift with heat and settling.
- MonsoonStorms that find gaps in flashing and sealing that stayed hidden all year.
- Boom-eraConstruction now old enough for the original shortcuts to start showing.

The first step is just understanding the project — what’s happening, and whether it’s a fit for this kind of service. You don’t need the right words for it. Call and describe it, or book online and we’ll go from there.
