Merlin’s Full “B” Contractor’s License is one of the tools which allows us to build exquisite homes throughout the Las Vegas valley for more than 25 years. Our goal – to construct homes of the highest quality. From that singular idea evolved a guiding philosophy: to treat our clients, our team, the community and everyone we meet with integrity, respect, compassion and all the best we have to offer. This is our unwavering commitment. We love the diversity of the custom homes and renovations we have been honored to craft. From the contemporary perfect jewel box, to French Country estates on acreage, to off the grid solar powered mountain retreats above 8,000 feet, to Las Vegas Strip penthouses with all the bling imaginable. We’ve been honored to build in every notable exclusive community and highrise in Southern Nevada. And we work hard to be recognized as builders who respect each community’s standards to minimize the inconvenience caused by our construction. About Steve: Steve Jones built Merlin Contracting on a commitment to maintain the highest quality building standards and to treat people with integrity, respect and compassion. This is exemplified in the fact that numerous multi-million dollar homes were realized with a handshake rather than a contract. About Bart: Bart Jones was living in Hawaii managing, and marketing agricultural businesses, and developing facilities for processing agricultural products. In 1994 Merlin Contracting’s growth required Bart Jones to move from Hawaii to Las Vegas as a field supervisor. In 1998 he became the CFO and managed the evolution of Merlin Contracting’s transition to a fully technologically advanced company while still focusing on the priority of keeping personal contact with our homeowners. ### Services Provided - New Home Construction - Home Remodeling - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Bathroom Remodeling - Kitchen Remodeling - Custom Homes - Remodeling ### Areas Served - Las Vegas - Henderson - Spring Valley - Summerlin - Summerlin South ### Typical Job Cost $500,000 - 20,000,000 $1 million or $400 and up Per Square Foot For New Custom Homes. $500,000 and up for Home Remodeling / Renovations ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Merlin Custom Home Builders | | Address | 6408 Arville St, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118, United States | | Phone | (702) 257-8102 | | Website | http://www.merlincontracting.com | | License Number | 43785 | | Followers on Houzz | 299 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/MerlinContracting - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/MerlinLLC ## Offers Call Us to Schedule a Free Consultation ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Merlin Custom Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/merlin-custom-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~1543574085) - **Website:** http://www.merlincontracting.com - **Phone:** (702) 257-8102 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Nevada State Licensed Contractor Best of Houzz Design Award 2015, LVEA Member, Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, Certified Green Professional, Home Builder's Association of Southern Nevada - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2015–2018), for Service, Design. **Affiliations** - [NAHB Building Systems Councils](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-building-systems-councils-pfvwus-pf~689894563) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.9 out of 5 — 11 reviews** ### All 11 reviews **★★★★★ — Safari Ross, Sept. 2017** > I have spent the last year working with the Merlin Team planning and designing my home. I cannot say enough good things about this company. Steve and Bart Jones are incredibly warm, kind men who lead a wonderful team.
