Slab-on-grade stucco homes dominate, with tile roofs and attic AC equipment. Summerlin, Henderson and the southwest valley are full of 1990s–2000s stucco homes with tile roofs, many now at the age when original water heaters, supply lines and roof underlayment fail. Older homes near downtown and in Paradise have aging copper lines prone to pinhole leaks from hard water.

Fire & Smoke Damage questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Las Vegas?
Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Las Vegas or Clark County, depending on the address.
How do I verify a Nevada contractor?
Search the Nevada State Contractors Board license lookup.
Can I clean soot myself?
Light dry soot in a small area sometimes can be, but wiping often smears it deeper. Larger areas, oily soot and anything involving odor are best left to professionals with the right cleaning methods.
Does homeowners insurance cover smoke damage from a wildfire?
Usually yes, even if the fire didn't reach your home. Document the damage, including ash and odor, and report it to your insurer quickly.
