Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on any of it. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owner-operated since 1998, and we’ve been on more Lemmon Valley ranch roofs than we can count. We know this basin. We know what the wind does off the playa and what snowmelt does to a low-slope roof at 4,500 feet. So when you call about a roof in the 89506, Tom Barrett’s sons answer the questions, not a call center reading prompts.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lemmon Valley’s Preferred Roofing Company
Ask anyone on Patrician Drive or Lemmon Drive what happens when a roof fails in this basin and you’ll hear the same story: water finds the weakest seam, and by spring it’s in the ceiling. We’ve fixed those ceilings. We’ve also seen too many Lemly Valley homeowners get a phone quote from an out-of-town outfit, then get handed a different number at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up. You should.
We run our own crews here. Background-checked, uniformed, and carrying the Barrett & Sons name on every visit. Tom and his sons are on site most days. That matters in a place like Lemmon Valley, where the last contractor you hired may have told you permits were optional. They’re not. Permits get pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
Calls to (877) 610-1318 get answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. If something’s wrong on a roof we put on, we want to know about it. We live close enough to care. And our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Our Roofing Services in Lemmon Valley
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full Roofing replacement in Lemmon Valley means more than tearing off shingles and nailing down new ones. The 2018 IBC with Washoe County amendments requires roofs here to meet 110 mph wind loads and 30 psf snow loads. That’s not a suggestion. It’s the load rating your deck, fasteners, and shingle or panel choice all have to carry. We spec GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark shingles when the deck allows, and we check the trusses before we ever load a bundle onto the ridge. Re-roofing over a deck softened by vapor drive from seasonal high groundwater without checking load-bearing capacity is how you get new shingles rippling and failing within three winters. We don’t skip that step. Never have.
Metal Roofing
Given this basin’s wind and snow exposure, metal roofing is the best long-term answer for many Lemmon Valley homes. A standing seam metal roof rated for 110 mph uplift will stay put when spring frontal winds tear 3-tab shingles off at the eaves. We install snap-lock panel systems over a reinforced deck, and when the county’s flood maps require it, we handle every permit and inspection sign-off. Metal Roof Installation in Lemmon Valley runs $15,000 to $40,000. You get a roof that outlasts shingles three to one and sheds snow like it was never there.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs show up on some of the older custom homes sprinkled through Lemmon Valley and up toward the hills. Tile holds up well to sun and snow, but the underlayment is the real roof. We repair and replace tile roofs always with new underlayment rated for this elevation, never by just slapping tiles back on rotted felt. Tile roof repair in Lemmon Valley typically runs $600 to $2,500, depending on how many tiles cracked and whether the battens need resetting.
We also handle emergency storm damage from wind and blow-offs, full gutter replacement, and specialty roof details. If your roof leaks after a spring blow, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person picks up.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lemmon Valley
We install GAF and CertainTeed shingles because they publish wind and snow ratings, and we can stand behind the spec. For standing seam metal, we use panels rated for 110 mph uplift, the requirement on Lemmon Valley’s flood-buyout blocks. For bathrooms and kitchens on the side, we carry Schluter and Grohe fixtures. But on a roof, the brand matters less than the install. GAF’s spec means nothing if ice-and-water shield gets skipped. We stock local parts for Lemmon Valley customers, so when we tear off a roof and find rotted decking, we’re replacing it that day, not waiting a week on a distributor out of Reno.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Lemmon Valley Homes
- Eave tears from frontal winds off Swan Lake. Standard 3-tab shingles rated for lower wind zones peel off at the eaves during spring storms. A wind-rated shingle with proper starter strips and nailing patterns stops that.
- Snowmelt backing up under shingles. At roughly 4,500 feet, Lemmon Valley gets heavier snow than the Reno valley floor. Without ice-and-water shield at eave-to-ridge on low-slope ranch roofs, melt backs up and soaks the subfloor below.
- Deck rot from seasonal high groundwater. This basin has no drainage outlet. Spring melt sits. Vapor drive rises through the slab and into the framing. We check decking on every job, and we quote replacement decking in writing before it surprises anyone.
- Split-block code confusion. Some lots near Swan Lake were county-bought-out after the 2017-2019 flooding. Adjacent occupied homes now sit on parcels with updated FEMA flood zone designations. Your neighbor’s roof permit requirements may not match yours. We check.

FAQs - Roofing in Lemmon Valley
Under the 2018 IBC with Washoe County amendments, roofs in the updated FEMA flood zone blocks of Lemmon Valley must meet 110 mph wind loads and 30 psf snow loads. That typically means a standing seam metal roof over a reinforced deck, with county permit and inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 with your parcel number and we’ll confirm what applies to your lot. Estimates are free.
Yes. A standing seam panel rated for 110 mph uplift and installed with documented permit and inspection sign-off is treated differently than an unrated 3-tab roof. Insurers look at wind resistance ratings because they know what Lemmon Valley’s spring winds do. We hand you the documentation: the permit, the load rating, the inspection sign-off. That paper trail matters. For an exact quote on a metal roof, call (877) 610-1318.
Because it’s a line item they can cut to make the number look better on the phone. Ice-and-water shield belongs eave-to-ridge on low-slope ranch roofs at 4,500 feet. Without it, snowmelt backs up under shingles and soaks the subfloor. We write it into every roof replacement quote. You see it on the estimate before work starts. Want a second opinion on a written estimate you already have? We do those free. Call (877) 610-1318.
In a basin with updated FEMA flood zone designations, insurers increasingly ask for proof that your roof met the current wind and snow load code at install. A permit pulled and inspection signed gives them that proof. A roof done without one becomes your problem to explain. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. You walk away with paper. That paper is worth money. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Sometimes, but not before we check the deck and trusses. Homes built during the 1970s-1990s ranch expansion north of Reno were not framed for today’s snow loads. We recently replaced a 1980s ranch roof on Patrician Drive near the Swan Lake buyout zone. The county’s flood maps required a standing seam metal roof rated for 110 mph uplift. We pulled the county permit, installed snap-lock panels over the original deck after reinforcing the load-bearing trusses, and walked the inspection sign-off with the county before the final draw. Your house may need more or less. We don’t know until we get on the roof. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look. Free estimate, written scope.
