Most Vegas rentals need the same practical reset: patch-and-blend wall dings, tighten hardware, tune doors, seal gaps, and address anything that looks tired under bright light. The valley’s loamy alluvial soils with caliche layers can lead to small differential movement, so you’ll often see corner cracks, baseboard gaps, and doors that suddenly rub after a hot season. Then the climate does its part: extreme heat + UV dries caulk and shrinks cheap trim joints, while wind/dust leaves fine grit in tracks, hinges, and sliding door rollers. During monsoon bursts, water can show up as garage edge staining, swollen exterior trim, or interior spotting near a leaky joint—stuff that tenants may not notice until it’s move-out time. The durable approach is simple cause→effect work: repair the surface, correct the alignment, and re-seal the entry points, using materials that are easy to source locally (setting compound, door hardware, paint match tools) so you’re not waiting around on backorders.
