The Nevada State Contractors Board is warning homeowners to beware of spring and summer scam artists who offer “good deals” on air-conditioning service, roof repairs, painting and remodeling, driveway sealing, patio coverings and cement work, landscaping and various other types of home repairs.

Homeowners, especially senior citizens, are routinely approached by door-to-door scam artists looking to make a quick sale. These unlicensed contractors usually say they are in the neighborhood and can give you a great price on leftover materials. Often, they ask for full or cash payments up front.

All Nevada licensed contractors have a five-digit license number issued by the Nevada State Contractors Board. Either call the contractors board or go online, and reference this five-digit number, to make sure a contractor is licensed and in good standing with the board.

Work that is less than $1,000 which does not require a city or county building permit and does not involve electrical, plumbing, air conditioning/heating or refrigeration does not require a contractor’s license.

However, the contractors board advises homeowners not to use unlicensed contractors because their work is generally poor quality, they are often uninsured and may not maintain workman’s compensation coverage for their employees, and the homeowner may be liable for all injuries to workers. Homeowners who use unlicensed contractors are not eligible for the Residential Recovery Fund, and by law their contracts are null and void.

MANLY — The Manly Family Aquatic Center should be open on Memorial Day weekend, city officials said Monday.

The $1.5 million project is supported by local option sales tax, casino revenues and tax increment financing revenues.

“As the weather warms people are getting more excited, I think,” said City Clerk Amy Yezek.

Mayor Tim O’Keefe agreed.

“Lots of people here are looking to the end of May,” he said. “It’s going to be an incredible asset to the town.”

Yezek said the cost of the pool’s $100,000 bright red slide was paid for through a Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant.

In addition to the slide, a diving board, a basketball hoop and floatables will all be part of the pool, she said.

The pool house will offer office and concession area, storage, locker rooms and showers and family changing areas.

One wall in the bathhouse features paver bricks that can be purchased and inscribed with individual, family and business names. Cost is $250 for individuals and families, and $500 for businesses. Those interested in purchasing a brick should contact City Hall.

The pool is L-shaped and goes from zero-depth entry to 12 feet deep. It is located just to the east of Highway 65 on the town’s north side.

Project manager Dar Horgen of Henkel Construction and two others were on hand Monday preparing forms for apron cement work, which is the balance of what is left to be completed. Painting and landscaping will follow before the pool opens.

Pool manager Adam Hines was recently hired by the city and the assistant manager will be Bailey Yezek. Seventeen lifeguards also have been hired.

The city will begin selling season passes in May, Yezek said.

This is the first municipal pool operated by the city, Yezek said. Previously the only pool swimming option was the local country club, an option that has not been available for many years, she said
