Carpenter in Las Vegas
In Las Vegas, homeowners need skilled carpenters for renovations, upgrades, and repairs adapted to desert conditions, including specialized carpentry for bathroom remodeling projects. The Hanson Company has served Las Vegas since January 2000, bringing over 25 years of hands-on construction experience to every project. Owner Bryan Hanson worked in every aspect of the trade from craftsman to superintendent, gaining expertise in all major carpentry disciplines.
Our team specializes in carpentry that withstands Nevada's unique conditions including extreme temperature swings from 20°F to 115°F, intense UV exposure, low humidity ranging from 10-30%, and rapid material expansion and contraction. Our OSHA certified craftsmen follow occupational safety and health standards on all projects. Many team members completed apprenticeships and receive ongoing training in construction methods adapted to Las Vegas conditions.

Cabinet Installation in Las Vegas
Homeowners updating kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry rooms benefit from cabinet installation designed for desert conditions. Professional cabinetry work requires understanding joinery techniques and proper tool use adapted to extreme temperatures and low humidity. Installation ensures cabinets fit level and secure while accounting for foundation settling common in Las Vegas homes, especially during the first few years after construction.
Quality cabinet work involves measuring and cutting lumber to exact dimensions while accounting for minimal moisture content in desert air. Understanding how materials expand and contract in extreme temperature swings prevents future problems with doors, drawers, and cabinet alignment. We use adhesive rated for high temperatures and low humidity, which differs from products used in coastal climates.
Cabinet installation is especially popular in Henderson and Summerlin homes during kitchen and bath remodels. Older Las Vegas homes built during the 1980s and 1990s often need cabinet updates as original builder-grade units show wear from decades of heat exposure. Our team applies information from over 25 years of local cabinetry experience to each project.
Bathroom Vanity Installation in Las Vegas
Homeowners remodeling bathrooms or replacing old vanities choose professional vanity installation for updated style and function while ensuring stability in Las Vegas homes where foundation settling is common. Bathroom work requires understanding moisture-resistant materials that also handle extreme temperature swings and low ambient humidity. The low humidity in Las Vegas causes different material behavior than coastal climates, requiring specific product selection and installation techniques.
Our installation process begins with removing the existing vanity and inspecting plumbing connections. We check for foundation movement or settling, which is common in Las Vegas homes, especially those built during the rapid construction boom of the 1990s and 2000s. We secure the cabinet to studs using anchors rated for desert conditions, install the countertop with proper sealing against low humidity, and apply flexible caulking that withstands temperature changes without cracking.
Bathroom vanity installation is a frequent upgrade in older homes throughout Paradise and Spring Valley built during Las Vegas's rapid growth periods. Our skilled crew handles all aspects of vanity work with proper training and occupational safety practices developed specifically for Las Vegas construction challenges.

- Creates one-of-a-kind furniture pieces built into your home
Advanced education and apprenticeship training prepare craftsmen for this detailed trade work using tools like table saws, routers, planers, and specialized equipment. We sand surfaces smooth then apply stain or paint using products that resist fading and degradation from intense UV exposure. Quality adhesive bonds joints permanently even in extreme heat, maintaining structural integrity through temperature cycling. Custom cabinetry is especially popular in Summerlin for kitchen islands, entertainment centers, and home offices where custom built-ins define spaces in open floor plans.

Trim Carpentry in Las Vegas
Homeowners finishing remodels or refreshing room appearance rely on trim work to complete their spaces while handling desert climate challenges. Trim covers gaps and adds detail to surfaces, doors, and windows, creating clean lines that accommodate settling and temperature movement common in Las Vegas construction. Finish carpentry requires precision and understanding of molding profiles that handle temperature extremes without warping or separating.
We install baseboards along floor edges, door casings around entryways, window trim, chair rail, crown molding at ceiling lines, and wainscoting. We use miter saws for precise angle cuts, coping saws for inside corners, and nail guns for efficient fastening. Understanding grain patterns and matching species creates professional results that remain stable through years of temperature cycling. We select materials that maintain stability in low humidity and high heat, ensuring trim remains secure and gap-free.
Trim work is needed in both new construction and older homes across Downtown and North Las Vegas. Our crew brings years of finish experience to each project, understanding the nuances of different neighborhoods and construction periods throughout the Las Vegas valley.
Crown Molding Installation in Las Vegas
Homeowners adding elegant details to living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms choose crown molding installation to create finished ceiling lines and add visual interest while handling the unique challenges of Las Vegas homes. Crown molding increases home value and appeal, creating architectural character that distinguishes properties in competitive Las Vegas real estate market. Installing crown molding requires understanding ceiling angles, surface conditions, and proper joinery techniques adapted to homes where foundation settling and temperature movement create challenges.
Crown molding benefits:
- Adds architectural character to any room
- Creates visual height in standard 8-foot ceilings
- Hides gaps from settling and temperature movement
- Increases home value with quality finishes
Our process involves measuring room perimeter and calculating materials while adding extra for desert climate adjustment, marking stud locations which is critical since wall construction varies by builder and era, and cutting molding at compound angles. Crown molding creates visual height in rooms, particularly valuable in Las Vegas homes with standard eight-foot ceilings. Professionals with apprenticeship training handle complex layouts including vaulted ceilings and transitions. Crown molding is a common upgrade in Green Valley and Henderson master suites and formal spaces.

Door Installation in Las Vegas
Homeowners replacing damaged doors or upgrading interior and exterior entries need professional door installation designed for desert conditions. New doors improve security, insulation, and style while dramatically reducing energy costs in Las Vegas's extreme climate where cooling expenses dominate utility bills six to nine months yearly. Proper hanging prevents sticking and gaps while accounting for material movement with temperature changes ranging from winter lows around 20°F to summer highs reaching 115°F or higher.
Door types we install:
- Entry doors with high insulation values (steel, fiberglass, solid core)
- Interior passage doors suited to desert conditions
- French doors with energy-efficient glazing
- Sliding patio doors with proper weather sealing
- Pocket doors and bifold closet doors
We recommend specific R-values and materials proven to reduce cooling costs, typically suggesting steel or fiberglass over wood for exterior applications. Door installation is especially popular in Spring Valley home updates where original doors from the 1980s and 1990s with single-pane glass and poor weather sealing lose tremendous efficiency. Upgrading to modern insulated doors can reduce cooling costs by fifteen to twenty-five percent in these older homes.

Deck Construction in Las Vegas
Homeowners expanding outdoor living space for entertaining or relaxation invest in deck construction designed for year-round desert use. Custom decks create usable outdoor areas that withstand intense UV exposure, extreme temperatures, and low humidity while providing valuable additional living space in the mild Las Vegas climate that enables outdoor use eight to nine months yearly. Deck design must consider shade structures essential for summer use during days reaching 115°F or higher, material selection for UV resistance and heat tolerance, and orientation to minimize afternoon sun exposure.
We work with pressure-treated lumber rated for low humidity conditions, composite materials with UV inhibitors that prevent fading, or tropical hardwoods like ipe and tigerwood proven to perform in extreme sun exposure. Steel connectors join lumber at key structural points using hardware that remains strong through temperature cycling and UV exposure. Safety standards guide railing height, stair dimensions, and structural integrity throughout the deck.
Deck construction has especially high demand in Summerlin and Henderson backyards for year-round outdoor use. These master-planned communities feature properties where outdoor living spaces significantly increase property value. Las Vegas residents utilize outdoor spaces eight to nine months yearly, making quality deck construction a worthwhile investment.
Closet Construction in Las Vegas
Homeowners needing organized storage solutions benefit from custom closet construction designed for Las Vegas conditions. Professional closet systems maximize space and improve organization while handling desert climate challenges. Closet construction involves building custom storage solutions that fit exact dimensions and meet specific storage needs from walk-in closets to reach-in systems.
Our closet construction process includes measuring the space and discussing storage needs, designing the layout to maximize vertical and horizontal space, selecting materials appropriate for desert conditions, and building shelving units and hanging systems.

Baseboards cover floor edges and protect surfaces from damage while handling foundation settling and temperature movement common in Las Vegas homes, especially during the first three to five years after construction when settling is most pronounced. Installing baseboards involves measuring lengths, cutting trim to fit, coping inside corners for joints that remain tight through temperature changes, and mitering outside corners at precise angles.
We use miter saws for accurate angle cuts, coping saws for inside corners, and nail guns for efficient fastening. Understanding how baseboards interact with different floor types including tile which is especially common in Las Vegas homes, hardwood, carpet, or vinyl ensures proper height and reveal. Baseboards cover expansion gaps between floors and surfaces, protect drywall from impacts, hide imperfections in edges, and complete the finished appearance of rooms.
Baseboard installation is frequently done after tile or hardwood projects in North Las Vegas and Paradise homes, established neighborhoods where flooring upgrades require new baseboard installation. Professionals with proper training and apprenticeship education handle complex baseboard layouts around doorways and corners.
Staircase Repair in Las Vegas
Homeowners with damaged or worn staircases need professional staircase repair to restore safety and function while accounting for Las Vegas climate conditions. Staircase repair addresses squeaking treads, loose railings, damaged nosing, cracked stringers, and worn finishes common in homes experiencing foundation settling.

Our custom bookcase process involves discussing your storage needs and design preferences, measuring the space and planning the layout, selecting appropriate materials for desert durability, and building the bookcase structure using quality joinery methods. We design bookcases with proper shelf spacing and depth for book storage, accounting for load requirements and preventing sagging through proper support and material thickness.
Custom bookcases are popular in home offices, libraries, and living rooms throughout Las Vegas. Material selection includes solid lumber for premium appearance and durability, plywood for shelving and backing, and quality hardware for adjustable shelving systems. We apply stains or paints using products that resist fading from sun exposure common in rooms with windows.
Handrail Installation in Las Vegas
