The homes of Whitney
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates for Whitney CDP.
More homes in Whitney were built in the 2000s than in any other decade, 48% of them, followed by the 1990s at 21%. A kitchen put in when one of those houses was new is now about 21 years old, unless it has been redone since.
Only 12% of homes here were built before 1980. If yours was built before 1978, the firm that remodels it has to be certified for lead-safe work by EPA.
Detached houses are 53% of homes in Whitney; the rest are townhomes, condos and apartments. In a condo or townhome the association may have to approve work on plumbing, walls or wiring, so ask for its rules before the measure.

Before you sign: Nevada
Nevada requires a license from the Nevada State Contractors Board for almost any kitchen remodel. The law exempts only repair or maintenance work worth less than $1,000 in labor and materials, and not even that when the job needs a building permit, is plumbing, electrical, heating or air-conditioning work, or is part of a project worth $500 or more.
