Which Las Vegas handyman companies are licensed?
Of the 18 handyman companies on this site we could check, 5 hold an active Nevada state contractor licence, 2 appear on the board’s record without an active licence, and 11 have no record under the name they trade as. Read from the Nevada State Contractors Board public search on 2026-09-16.
Why this matters: under NRS 624.700 it is a crime to contract in Nevada without a licence, and an unlicensed job is one you cannot take to the board’s recovery fund if it goes wrong. No record here is not proof of wrongdoing — plenty of firms hold the licence under a different legal name — it means ask for the number before money changes hands.
Active state licence (5)
Licence number and classification as the board prints them.

Expired, suspended or inactive at the date we checked. Status can change; verify before you hire.
No record found under this name (11)
The board’s company-name search returns nothing for these names. Ask them for their licence number and check it yourself at the link below.
Frequently asked questions
Do handyman companies need a licence in Las Vegas?
Nevada allows unlicensed handyman work only below the statutory job limit of $1,000 including materials, and the job cannot be split to stay under it. Anything larger needs a licensed contractor.
How can I check a licence myself?
Search the contractor by company name on the Nevada State Contractors Board public licence search, or ask the company for its licence number and search that. It is free and takes about a minute.
What does no record found mean?
It means the board has nothing under the name the company advertises. That can be an unlicensed operator, or a licensed one trading under a different legal name. Ask for the number.
