Window Installation in Reno NV
Expert Window Installation for Every Home
RIFFS Construction provides professional window installation in Reno and throughout Northern Nevada for homeowners and builders who value quality craftsmanship, proper installation, and long-term performance. We install windows for new construction, remodels, additions, and full window replacements, taking a construction-first approach that prioritizes fit, structure, and clean finishes.
Unlike retail window companies that focus on fast swap-outs, our work is integrated into the home itself. We consider framing, exterior weather protection, and interior trim so each window performs well and looks intentional within the space. This level of care is especially important in Northern Nevada, where climate conditions, elevation, and seasonal temperature swings can quickly expose poor installation.
Whether you’re building a custom home, upgrading windows during a remodel, or replacing aging units, RIFFS Construction delivers window installations built to last.
Types of Window Installation We Provide
New Construction Window Installation
We install windows for custom homes, additions, and new residential construction projects. Working closely with builders, architects, and homeowners, we ensure windows are properly framed, flashed, and integrated into the structure from the start. This creates better performance, cleaner lines, and fewer issues over time.
Window Replacement as Part of Remodels
Window replacement is often part of a larger remodel or exterior upgrade. Rather than treating replacements as isolated swaps, we install windows in coordination with surrounding framing, siding, and interior finishes. This approach is ideal for older homes or layouts being reworked to improve function, comfort, and appearance.
Custom and Non-Standard Window Installations
Many homes in Reno, Lake Tahoe, and surrounding areas feature non-standard window sizes or architectural designs. We regularly install custom windows in older homes, mountain properties, and high-end builds where standard sizing isn’t an option.
Window Framing, Trim, and Finish Integration
As a construction and finish carpentry company, we handle window framing, interior casing, and exterior detailing when needed. This ensures the installation looks cohesive and intentional, rather than pieced together by multiple trades.
Why Homeowners Choose RIFFS
Homeowners choose RIFFS Construction because we treat window installation as part of the overall build, not just a product install. Our work is driven by craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing things correctly.
We’re fully licensed and insured, communicate clearly throughout the project, and maintain clean, professional job sites. Builders trust us for consistent results, and homeowners appreciate that we don’t rush installations or cut corners.
Window Installation for Remodels and Exterior Upgrades
Window installation often overlaps with other exterior or structural improvements. RIFFS Construction frequently installs windows during remodels, additions, and exterior upgrades where sequencing and coordination matter.
By installing windows alongside framing, siding, trim, or other exterior elements, we help ensure proper integration and a finished result that feels unified. This approach reduces delays, minimizes rework, and improves overall quality.

FAQs About
Window Installation
Does RIFFS Construction handle both window installation and window replacement?
Yes, we install windows for new construction, remodels, and additions, and we also handle full window replacements. Our approach focuses on proper fit, structural integration, and clean finish work rather than quick swap-outs.
Can you install windows during a remodel or addition?
Absolutely. Many of our window projects are part of larger remodels or additions. We coordinate window installation with framing, exterior work, and interior finishes to ensure everything ties together correctly.
Do you work with custom or non-standard window sizes?
Yes. We regularly install custom and non-standard windows, especially in older homes, custom builds, and architectural remodels where standard sizing isn’t an option.
Do you provide window framing and trim work as part of installation?
Window framing and trim are often included in our installation scope. Our construction and finish carpentry background allows us to manage framing, interior trim, and exterior detailing as part of a complete installation.
How long does window installation usually take?
Window installation timelines depend on the number of windows, the scope of work, and whether framing or trim modifications are required. Smaller projects may take a day or two, while larger or custom installations can take longer.
Can you work with windows I’ve already selected or purchased?
If you’ve already selected or purchased windows, RIFFS Construction can work with them in many cases. We review window specifications in advance to confirm they’re compatible with your project and meet proper installation and performance requirements before moving forward.
How do I choose the best type of window material for my home?
The best window material depends on your home’s design, climate exposure, performance goals, and budget. Vinyl windows are cost-effective and low maintenance, but may not suit all architectural styles. Aluminum or metal windows offer slim profiles and modern aesthetics, while wood and wood-clad windows provide a high-end look and strong insulation when properly installed.
In Northern Nevada’s climate, proper installation, sealing, and integration with the home’s framing and exterior finishes are just as important as the window material itself. We help homeowners evaluate window options based on how they’ll perform in real-world conditions and how they fit into the overall construction or remodel.
Will new windows improve energy efficiency and comfort?
Properly installed windows can significantly improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort. In Northern Nevada, correct installation, sealing, and integration with the home’s exterior are just as important as the window itself for reducing drafts, heat loss, and solar gain.
Are permits required for window installation in Reno or surrounding areas?
Permit requirements for window installation vary by location and project scope. RIFFS Construction can help determine whether permits are required and coordinate the process when window installation is part of a remodel, addition, or structural change.
