Nevada requires a contractor license for work of $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined, and for any job that needs a building permit or involves plumbing, electrical, heating or air-conditioning work, whatever the price (NRS 624.031). You can look up any contractor on the Nevada State Contractors Board website before you sign.
Moving a sink typically adds $2,000–$5,000 and opening a wall $3,000–$10,000, before finishes. It is only worth it when the current layout really does not work.
