How the records work in Henderson

We use public records to help you make a shortlist. They show what a contractor has filed and where they have worked in Henderson. They can't tell you whether someone will be right for your home.

Is a contractor licensed in Henderson?

Every contractor working in Nevada needs a Nevada State Contractors Board license.

We don't hold the licensing board's file for Henderson, so we don't show license status for the 935 firms on the permit file. Check each one yourself.

What the numbers mean

Typical cost

The middle value recorded on this contractor's matching permits. It's a permit value, not a quote or the final price. Ask for a written estimate.

Permits in the last 12 months

Matching Henderson permits in the most recent year of our data. It shows recent recorded activity here, not every job the company did.

Completion rate

For contractors with at least 5 permits a year or more old, the share that were finalized, compared with permits of the same trade issued in the same quarter. A permit can stay open because of paperwork or timing, so this isn't a workmanship grade.

Speed

How long their permits take from issue to final, using the city's dates, compared with other Henderson contractors in the trade. Shown for firms with 10+ permits.

About the ranking: The score combines how much of this exact work a contractor has on record, how often their older permits reached completion (where we can measure it), how well their usual job size matches your budget, how recently they've been active, and how much of their work is near you. A measure we can't calculate is left out rather than guessed, and a thin record pulls the score toward the middle. A contractor whose matched license has a problem is listed after everyone else. You set the weights with the sliders on every list.

Henderson specifics: Henderson records a fee valuation, not the job price, so no typical cost is shown. HVAC and water-heater change-outs name no contractor, so HVAC here is mostly duct and mini-split work.

Common questions

  • Where does the information come from?Work history comes from City of Henderson development services permits. Home values come from Clark County assessed values (about 35% of taxable value, well below market). The current data covers October 2023 through September 2026, so it won't reflect a filing made after that.
  • If I don't see a permit, does that mean the contractor did something wrong?No. Some jobs don't need a permit, some are filed under a different business name, and work outside Clark County isn't in this view. A blank record is a reason to ask questions, not an accusation.

  • Does a high score mean I should hire them?It means their public record looks like a match for the settings you chose. Before hiring, get references, confirm insurance and licensing, and agree on scope and price in writing.
