Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Reno
Window replacement in Reno typically runs $4,500-$15,000 for a full home, while impact window installation lands between $8,000-$25,000 depending on glass ratings and opening count. Door installation usually falls in the $1,500-$6,000 range. Those are the numbers homeowners in 89503, 89509, and the North Valleys ask us about most, and they line up with what we see on estimates across the metro every week. If you’re wrestling with drafty single-panes in Midtown or cracked stucco trim in Spanish Springs, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put real numbers on paper before you spend a dime.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Reno’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and the windows and doors division has been owner-operated from day one. That matters in Reno because this market has a reputation problem: national franchises quote one price over the phone, then hand you a different invoice after the crew leaves. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Tom’s sons run the crews, not a rotating cast of subs, and Tom lives close enough to show up at the hardware store on Saturday and hear about it if something wasn’t done right. That’s why the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, not buried in fine print.
Reno homeowners call us because they’ve been burned before. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail box and not an out-of-state call center. We pull permits on every eligible job and get inspections signed, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. And Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone in Lemmon Valley or Old Southwest. We’ve been doing Windows & Doors work long enough that our reputation follows us up I-580 and back.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Reno
Window Installation
New window installation in Reno means accounting for a 4,500-ft elevation that delivers both 300 sunny days and 20-30 hard-freeze nights per winter. That combination is rare outside the Intermountain West, and it punishes shortcuts. We detail every install for baked-dry summers and genuine frost heave, using premium brands like Simonton and Ply Gem so you can look up exactly what’s going into your home. Whether it’s a post-WWII ranch in 89509 or a newer stucco build in 89508, the flashing and insulation details are what separate a window that lasts 20 years from one that leaks in three.

Door Installation
Front doors, back doors, and side entries in Reno face UV intensity that degrades caulks and weatherstripping faster than lower-elevation markets. We install entry systems with compression seals and threshold details that hold up through freeze-thaw cycles, not just the first summer. A door that’s racked or gapped in a Lemmon Valley home isn’t just an energy problem, it’s how you get dust and cold air through the whole main level. We fix the rough opening, shim it true, and set the door so it latches clean on the first try.

Window Replacement
Replacing windows in Midtown and around the University often means working with original single-pane openings that were never insulated. We don’t just swap glass, we address the rough opening, add proper flashing, and insulate the weight pockets where the old sash weights sat. For North Valleys homes built in the 2000s, we’re finding UV and freeze-thaw cracking in the exterior trim far sooner than builders anticipated, so we inspect the surrounding stucco and framing before recommending the replacement scope. You get a written line-item quote, not a promise and a shrug.

Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors aren’t just for hurricane country. In Reno, the Wildland-Urban Interface fire codes that apply to new permits in the North Valleys, Lemmon Valley, and eastern foothills demand ember-resistant assemblies and ignition-resistant materials. Impact glass, with its laminated interlayer, gives you both impact protection and a tighter seal against ember intrusion and high-wind events. PGT and CGI are the two brands most common in this category, and we stock local parts for Reno customers so a cracked lite doesn’t sit for six weeks waiting on a freight truck. This is a real code-driven need for a growing share of the metro, not an upsell.

Trusted Brands We Service in Reno
We carry and install Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT across Reno and the surrounding basin. Those aren’t mystery brands off a van, they’re names you can research, with published performance data for elevation, UV exposure, and thermal break details. Because we stock parts locally and coordinate scheduling from our Las Vegas office for crews serving Reno, turnaround on replacements and warranty work stays short. No third-party fulfillment delays. If a sash needs a new balance or a door panel needs a replacement lite, we’d rather have it on a shelf than in a shipping queue.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Reno Homes
- Freeze-thaw seal failure. Reno’s 20-30 hard-freeze nights each winter cause expansion and contraction cycles that break down cheap window seals. We regularly see cloudy double-panes in 89506 and 89533 homes that were installed less than a decade ago with builder-grade glass.
- Original single-pane wood sashes. The post-WWII ranches in Midtown and Old Southwest still have original wood windows with single-pane glass and zero insulation in the weight pockets. These leak air through the whole house and rattle when the wind comes down off Peavine.
- Stucco cracking at window corners. In the 2000s-era wood-frame stucco subdivisions off the Spanish Springs corridor, diagonal cracks at window corners show up faster than anyone expected. UV bakes the stucco dry all summer, then freeze cycles pop the corners. We repair the opening, address the flashing, and reset the window rather than caulking over a structural issue.
- Warped entry doors from direct sun exposure. South-facing doors in Reno take brutal UV all summer, and a hollow-core or thin-slab door will warp enough to break the weatherstrip. We replace them with solid-core or thermally broken doors and add a storm door where the elevation demands it.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Reno, NV
Here’s what we tell Reno homeowners when they ask what a project costs. Window replacement runs $4,500-$15,000 for a whole house, depending on the number of openings and whether you’re going with vinyl or a higher-end material. Impact window installation adds up to $8,000-$25,000 because of the laminated glass and code details. Door installation is typically $1,500-$6,000, and sliding or patio doors land in a similar range, with larger multi-panel units pushing higher. What moves the number is the openings, the glass package, and the condition of the rough opening once we get into it. We don’t hide what we find. We write it down, you approve it, then the work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written, line-item quote. Fixed pricing, no change orders you didn’t sign, no surprises at the end.
Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount, we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, and there’s no trip charge inside the county. $40 off any repair over $200. Those aren’t rotating promotions, they’re standing offers we’ve published for years.

Reno’s pricing is comparable to nearby markets, but the real variable is the elevation. Homes here need glass packages and flashing details rated for both intense UV and hard-freeze cycles, and that combination drives some material choices. You’re not paying more for labor, you’re paying for assemblies that actually hold up at 4,500 feet. We’ll show you the line items so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.
