Find Licensed Roofers in Reno’s North Valleys

Reno Nevada Roofs is a referral service for homeowners in Reno’s North Valleys — Stead, Lemmon Valley, Golden Valley, and Cold Springs. We connect you with independent, Nevada-licensed roofers. We are not a licensed contractor under NRS Chapter 624 and we do not perform roofing work. The licensed contractor you hire inspects, prices, permits, and completes the job.

Which building department reviews a reroof here

Do not assume that every Stead or Lemmon Valley address is in the City of Reno, or that all North Valleys homes are unincorporated Washoe County. These communities have a history of annexation and corridor planning, and a mailing address can say “Reno” while the permit office is the County — or the reverse. The homeowner and the licensed contractor should check the parcel on Washoe Assessor / GIS and apply through the correct office: City of Reno Building Permits and the OneNV portal, or Washoe County Building’s EZ re-roof path. Under NRS 624.970, the licensed residential contractor — not this website — pulls the required permit in the correct jurisdiction.

Climate and building-science notes

Valley-floor and bench elevations in this area are often in the range covered by Washoe’s 4,500–5,000 ft ground-snow-load row (43 psf, Risk Category II) in the official Construction Design Requirements, but check parcel elevation rather than assuming. Wind exposure on open North Valleys terrain matters. NOAA-based records compiled by Cloudbreak include 1.25–1.5 inch hail near the Stead airport on June 28, 2013. Cold Springs, at the west edge, is more likely to raise a WUI / Class A question — use the Washoe WUI Code Guide and the County EZ Fire-WUI map, parcel by parcel.

Housing stock and common roof types

Housing is a mix of older ranches, manufactured housing, and later subdivisions. The short sections below keep each community’s name visible. This site does not invent HOA rulebooks; if a street has an association, read the current guidelines.

Stead

Stead sits along the north end of the Reno urban area, near the airport that shares its name. Jurisdiction still has to be checked on the parcel — do not assume City or County from the mailing label alone.

Lemmon Valley

Lemmon Valley is an adjacent North Valleys community. Like Stead, mailing addresses can be misleading. Confirm the assessor map before anyone files a reroof permit.

Golden Valley

Golden Valley shares the same city-limit question and the same high-desert sun and wind. A licensed inspection should document the actual roof, not a neighborhood average.

Cold Springs

Cold Springs sits at the west edge of this group and is more likely to raise wildfire-interface / Class A questions. Use the County WUI map and the fire district for that parcel.

HOA, WUI, or other local rules

Fire-roof rules can differ from one North Valleys parcel to the next, especially toward Cold Springs. Check the WUI map and the fire district rather than copying a neighbor’s specification. Association rules, where they exist, are separate from the building permit.

How to get matched for repair, replacement, or an inspection

Use the referral form and include the community name (Stead, Lemmon Valley, Golden Valley, or Cold Springs) plus the full address so the permit office can be checked. We introduce you to a licensed contractor if a partner can take the job. Verify the license at the Nevada State Contractors Board.
