Debris is dust, palm or desert litter where those plants exist, and the rare storm that finds a clog. Do not describe an autumn leaf route you do not have. Say which stories you will do. In Las Vegas, the housing decides the visit: stucco and concrete tile over slabs, with attics hot enough to cook equipment and water that leaves heavy scale. The weather on the truck is desert heat past 110°F, almost no rain, then monsoon storms that find every failed flashing. Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas are worth naming only when they are real stops. Spring Valley and Enterprise are a different drive until you can reach them the same day. Clark County permits is the local counter to ask when the job needs a permit or a city registration. This page names that office. It does not invent a fee. HOAs in Summerlin and Henderson decide colors and materials. Homeowners still decide who they trust, and they can tell when a page was written for a different climate.

The Nevada guide has the filing office. This page is the local version: what the first jobs are, which permit counter to call, and how to price a day here.
Some boxes are labeled Partner. ServiceBase has not joined those programs. The links go to each company's own homepage, not a tracking link. If a program later approves us, the address will change and we may earn a commission. You can file, insure, and bank anywhere. Official government links are not partner links. Nothing on this page is a discount code.

Keep the checklist on your account
The guide stays public. An account saves your state, city, and trade, and lets you mark each filing as you go. The advertising credit is reserved when you register. It can be spent after the free website is live.
A ladder route often starts as a sole proprietorship. An LLC is reasonable once you hire or once a property manager wants the company on a certificate. The filing does not decide whether a repair crosses into roofing. Read the contractor board before you add that word. This page is not legal advice.
We do not have a filing fee for Nevada that we are willing to print. The Nevada Secretary of State publishes it. Sole proprietors who operate under their own name often skip this filing. Confirm that on the same site.
If your customers are in Las Vegas, the registered-agent address still has to satisfy Nevada. Read the filing office's rule. A neighbor's kitchen table is not always an acceptable address.
An employer identification number is the business tax ID. The IRS issues it online at no charge and says you never have to pay a company to get one. If you form an LLC, file with the state first. The IRS says an EIN application can stall when the state filing is not done. A sole proprietor can often start with a Social Security number and get an EIN when a bank or a hire requires it.
Apply on the IRS page if you want the number yourself. LegalZoom, the partner beside this step, can request it while they form the company. That service is optional. The IRS fee is still zero either way.
Read the contractor board for roofing or gutter work and any project-cost threshold. Cleaning and replacing are different questions. Get the city business license. State the story limit you will actually work.
State page: Nevada State Contractors Board. This is the state board's own site. Read the classification for the work you will do.
Clark County permits is the local counter for work in Las Vegas. We are naming that office, not linking a fee schedule we have not read. Call them or open the city's own site and ask what a new gutter cleaning has to register before the first job in Henderson.
The Nevada guide repeats the board link and tells you what we could not verify. Read it before you pay a filing service.
General liability before the ladder goes up. Tell the insurer you clean gutters and name the height. A fall and a damaged bed are the ordinary claims. Commercial auto for the vehicle. Workers' compensation before anyone else is on a ladder. Keep a certificate you can send the same day.
Workers' compensation is a state program. Before anyone works with you, including a friend, ask an insurer and the state labor office whether you must carry it. This guide does not quote a headcount, because those rules differ and the state page is the source. The SBA page describes the common policies. It does not sell them. Buy the policy before you work in a house in Las Vegas.
Route money is a string of small tickets. Put them in a business account the same week and note the address. Dump fees for debris, if you haul it, should come out of that account. Set tax money aside before a busy fall feels like spending money.
The bank will usually ask for your ID, the EIN or your Social Security number, and the formation papers if you filed an LLC. A checking account and a habit of setting tax money aside are enough at the start.
07Price a day in Las Vegas
Price by the story and the length, not by a single 'whole house' guess. One story, two stories, and a steep roof are different numbers. Hauling the debris is either included or it is a line. Write that down before you are in the driveway.
Pine needles and a dry-climate dust clean are different hours. A price copied from another climate will miss. Adjust after you have timed ten houses, and do not promise the gutters will stay clear through a storm season.
