Need a Home Services / Remodeling / Interior Renovation Contract in Nevada? AroundWire Can Help

In Nevada, contracts for home services, remodeling, and interior renovation are governed by a combination of state statutes and local regulations, with oversight from the Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB). All contractors performing work valued at $1,000 or more (including labor and materials) must hold a valid Nevada contractor’s license appropriate to their trade. Contracts must be in writing for projects exceeding $1,000 and should clearly detail the scope of work, materials to be used, project timeline, total price, payment schedule, and change order procedures. State law (NRS 624) requires inclusion of specific notices regarding mechanics’ liens and the homeowner’s right to cancel within three business days. Risk mitigation typically involves mandatory general liability insurance and, often, workers’ compensation coverage. Advance payments are regulated: contractors may not demand more than 10% of the contract price or $1,000 (whichever is less) as a down payment before work begins. Progress payments should align with completed milestones. Dispute resolution clauses commonly specify mediation or arbitration prior to litigation, consistent with Nevada’s preference for alternative dispute resolution. Failure to comply with statutory requirements can result in penalties, contract voidance, or loss of licensure. Local building permits and inspections are generally required for remodeling and interior renovation work. Contractors and procurement professionals should ensure all contractual terms comply with both state law and any additional local ordinances.
