Reno
Post-war tract east of Wells went in with aluminium-frame single-pane sliders and no thermal break. The city publishes no window-replacement exemption and defers to the IRC, which grants none.
Where we work
Where Windows and Siding Reno works, and what your neighborhood's houses are actually built out of
The shop is at 1155 Watson Way, Suite 7 in Sparks. Everything here sits on one of four road corridors out of the Truckee Meadows, and every entry names the build era, the exposure, and the counter your permit question goes to.
The footprint
How far we go, and why
Four roads set the footprint, because roads are how people reason about distance. I-80 runs east out of Sparks through Fernley toward Fallon, roughly sixty road miles from the shop. I-580 and US-395 run south through Washoe Valley to Carson City and on down the Carson Valley floor to Minden and Gardnerville. US-50 runs east from Carson City through Dayton; US-95A drops south from Fernley to Yerington. NV-431, the Mount Rose Highway, climbs west to Incline Village. Nothing here is off one of those four.
Community by community
Every place we quote in, and the one thing that decides the job there
Each card names the jurisdiction and the one fact that changes what we specify there.
Sparks
Like-for-like window and door replacement sits on the city's own exempt-work list. The volume job is 1998 to 2008 builder vinyl in the north-east subdivisions, now at end of life.
Spanish Springs
Most of it went up between 1995 and 2008, and that builder vinyl fails in order: fogged units, chalked sash, failed balances. A permit exemption is not an HOA exemption.
Sun Valley
A HUD-code manufactured home is not an IRC building. Its openings are non-standard sizes, with flange details a stick-built window will not fit.
Verdi
Washoe County moved to the 2024 wildland-urban interface code on 1 July 2025, mandatory for every submittal from 1 January 2026. That is a cladding decision, not a glass one.
Washoe Valley
NDOT prohibits vehicles nine feet or taller on I-580 through here at 50 mph. That is the load a west elevation and its siding fasteners are taking.
Incline Village
In the Tahoe basin, doors and windows must meet TRPA's glazing requirements on top of the county's. Sealed units built near sea level arrive above 6,000 feet carrying trapped pressure.
Carson City
Cold-air pooling makes this the coldest ground we work on, so U-factor leads the spec. On the West Side, pre-1978 paint is the default assumption around a sash.
Gardnerville and Minden
Downslope wind off the Sierra escarpment along the Foothill Road front, over a cold-air pool. The Ranchos add a large manufactured share to 1960s and 1970s stock.
Dayton
A different county and a different answer than Reno or Sparks: Lyon does not name window or door replacement as exempt. Old Town and Dayton Valley are unrelated jobs.
Fernley
The 1998 to 2008 tract cohort is eighteen to twenty-eight years old now, on an open plain where west wind out of the Truckee canyon carries dust.
Fallon
Lahontan Valley alkali fines pack sill weep channels and abrade weatherstrip, which is how a slider fails before its frame does. Two building departments, one town name.
Yerington
The same Lyon County building office that covers Dayton, at the far end of US-95A. Call before you plan a date around us and we will tell you yes or no.
Before you call
Three questions about where we work
It depends on the jurisdiction, not the mailing address. Sparks puts like-for-like window and door replacement on its own exempt-work list. Reno publishes no window-replacement exemption and defers to the IRC, which grants none. Lyon County, which covers Dayton and Yerington, does not name window or door replacement as exempt. In Verdi, Washoe County's 2024 wildland-urban interface code is mandatory for every submittal, and that is a cladding decision rather than a glass one. In Incline Village, doors and windows must meet TRPA's glazing requirements on top of the county's. A permit exemption is not an HOA exemption. We confirm the building department before anything is ordered.
No. We work in Nevada. Contracting across the state line runs through a separate California registration with its own board, and our footprint stops on the Nevada side of the Verdi corridor. If the project is in Truckee or anywhere else in California we will say so on the phone rather than after a site visit.
Yes. The same six lines are available at every address here: Alside, Andersen, Codel, James Hardie, Jeld-Wen and LP SmartSide. What changes is which one we specify. Carson City sits in a cold-air pool, so U-factor leads the glass decision. Fallon is the lowest and hottest place we work, so solar heat gain leads instead. Verdi sits in wildland-urban interface, which is a cladding question rather than a glass one.

Call and we will tell you yes or no
We quote inside the four corridors above. Outside them it depends on the job and the week, and that is a straight answer we can give you on the phone in a minute.

Travel and estimate-visit charges outside the Reno and Sparks core: the estimate visit is free anywhere we serve, and if a travel line would ever apply to a remote address it appears on the written estimate itself, not after it.
