    How this range is calculated

    Recurring service lines come from the Reno local cost model — national reference midpoints adjusted for Nevada labor costs (index 1.05), climate demand, market size and seasonality. The repair and replacement reserve uses the widely-used 1%-of-home-value guideline, adjusted for home age. Model hs-cost-1.0.

    First-party Ashota quotes or completed jobs behind this figure: 0. As Ashota coordinates more work in this market, the modeled range is replaced with observed pricing.

    A reserve is not a bill — it is what to set aside so a roof, water heater or HVAC replacement is not a surprise.

    Actual provider pricing depends on the property, scope, frequency, access and availability. Ranges are informational and are not quotes.

    What drives cost up in Reno

    • Sun and heat degrade exterior paint, seals, roof membranes and irrigation lines faster than in milder climates.
    • Evaporation and dust drive pool chemical use and filter cleaning.
    • Irrigation is life support for landscaping — controller and drip-line checks matter more than mowing.
    • HVAC runs hard for months; filter and coil service is the highest-consequence recurring task.

    What changes your number most

    • Home age: past 25 years, replacement cycles for roof, HVAC and water heater start overlapping.
    • A pool typically adds the single largest recurring line after cleaning.
    • Square footage moves cleaning and pest costs, not reserve — reserve tracks value and age.
    • A second home costs less in cleaning and more in inspection, humidity or freeze control.

    Know the number, then stop managing it.
