Seven Nevada contractors lose licenses
Wednesday, May 1, 2002 | 11:18 a.m.
The Nevada State Contractors Board revoked the licenses of five Las Vegas-area construction companies and two Pahrump subcontractors and took disciplinary action against eight other Las Vegas subcontractors and a Pahrump man, alleging they violated state construction laws.
The companies and individuals that had their licenses revoked were:
Action Painting was accused of substandard workmanship and failing to comply with a notice to correct and cooperate in the investigation of a complaint. The company was also accused of failing to include license numbers and monetary limits on a contract.
Trico Development Ltd. was accused of failing to cooperate in the investigation of a complaint and failing to keep in force a bond or cash deposit.
Dyka Inc. was accused of failing to pay for materials and services and cooperate in the investigation of a complaint, failing to obtain proper lien releases and report a change of address to the board. The company also allegedly abandoned a construction project and bid in excess of established license limits.
Espy Tile allegedly bid in excess of established license limits and failed to comply with a written request by the board. It was also accused of violating state labor and safety laws.
The eight Las Vegas companies that were disciplined for state building law violations were:
"I ignorantly wrote a lump sum contract for cabinets and installation, which should have been itemized separately. The cabinets should have been contracted separately and the installation should have been contracted separately," said Mickey Durkin, Country Cupboards' owner.
Wesley Smith, Valley Floors' president, disputed the board's charge, saying his company was contracted to do carpeting and ceramic tiling at a residence but had farmed out the tiling work to another subcontractor.
"The owner of the residence didn't like the tiling work and didn't allow us to make the repairs and didn't pay for the work. Valley Floors was supposed to do the carpeting after the tiling was done but we didn't do the carpeting because the owner hasn't paid for the tiling work yet," he said.
Other than Country Cupboards and Valley Floors, the contractors could not be reached for comment on the board's actions.
