Building in the Carson Valley
Few places in Nevada look like the Carson Valley: open pasture and ranch land on the valley floor, and the Carson Range rising sharply to the west. Minden, the Douglas County seat, and neighboring Gardnerville anchor the valley, while Genoa — settled in 1851 and Nevada’s oldest non-native settlement — sits at the foot of the mountains on its western edge.
Juniper Ridge Construction brings licensed general contracting to homeowners across the valley: custom homes and high-end remodels along the foothills, and remodels, additions and exterior upgrades in Minden, Gardnerville, Johnson Lane and the Gardnerville Ranchos. We handle the Douglas County permit process and keep you informed from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Custom Homes & Remodels Along the Foothills
Genoa and the Foothill Road area at the base of the Carson Range offer some of the most striking home sites in Northern Nevada, with big views and full exposure to wind and weather. We build there with as much care for the structure as for the finishes.

Siding & exteriors →Douglas County Permits
We manage the permit process with Douglas County, from the submittal and plan-review comments to final inspection.
Exteriors for Wind, Sun & Fire Season
Wind sweeps across the open valley, the sun is strong at this elevation, and summer brings wildfire season to the foothills. Siding and trim take the brunt of all three.
When we replace or upgrade an exterior, we talk through options that resist fire and weather — for example, fiber-cement siding, non-combustible trim and ember-resistant vents — together with flashing and fastening details that keep wind-driven rain and snow out of the walls. You get a plain explanation of the trade-offs in cost, look and upkeep, so you can choose with confidence.

Building at the Lake?
Douglas County reaches all the way up to Lake Tahoe. For homes in Stateline, Zephyr Cove and Glenbrook, where TRPA rules, heavy snow and a short building season shape every project, see our Lake Tahoe custom homes & remodeling page.
Wherever the job is, our crew follows OSHA construction safety standards (29 CFR 1926), and our in-house program supports crew members in earning their OSHA 30-Hour Construction cards. Read about our safety training.

Do you handle Douglas County permits?

Which siding holds up best to wind, sun and wildfire season?
It depends on the house, the look you want and the budget. Fiber-cement is a popular choice because it resists fire, sun and rot; metal and other non-combustible products are options too.
