The Lepori team constructed a new 4,087sf convenience store on a five-acre site which included passenger vehicle fuel dispensers, diesel truck fuel dispensers and above-grade fuel storage tanks.
The Lepori team demoed the existing building and fuel canopies to make way for a brand new convenience store including new fuel canopies, a new fuel system, below-grade storage tanks, and utility provisions for a future retail pad located on the same parcel. To keep everything consistent our client wanted this location to resemble the remodel that was done in Carson City.
The Lepori team gave this convenience store a face life that is consistent with the remodels the team has done for Golden Gate Petroleum. This store is part of a multi business building; our team carefully constructioned around the other business’s to ensure client comfort and accessibility.
The Lepori team designed and constructed improvements needed to bring the ‘60s era building up to code and structural integrity. Key challenges included making it ADA compliant, installing racking for the center’s lumber and tenant improvements to a showroom and door shop.
Ranch vernacular architecture includes a sprawling elevation featuring multiple pitched roofs and a blend of siding, including stone cladding, board and batten, and composite cladding. It has some standing seam metal roofing, barn doors, porch structures, and multiple trellises and shade structures.
To meet the needs of the church’s growing population, the Lepori team added 4,555 sq ft to the church’s existing 16,809 sq ft by expanding the sanctuary, entry vestibule, and classroom area.
The Lepori team undertook the provision of construction services and materials for the construction of the 2,274 sq ft interior tenant improvement. Our scope included public areas, offices, restrooms, and a break room for the credit union operations.
This 8,054 sq ft, two-story office underway replaces their previous facility that was demolished after employees were located in temporary trailers. The new office features cabinetry from the Lepori Cabinet Shop.
The 3,312 sq ft design features locking chambers between products and public exits similar to the protocols used in bank design. Beautifully crafted cabinets that sit behind the sales counters have full roll-up locking doors, eliminating the need to lock up product nightly in a safe. Millwork and finishes carry through the Truckee River design theme.
Using design-build delivery, the Lepori team is delivering another 20,000 sq ft of cultivation facilities. We demolished existing walls, stairs, and restrooms to create a main floor with 10 flowering rooms and facilities for packing, tissue culture, humidors, and vegetative labs. An upper floor includes additional support facilities.
The Lepori design-build team delivered a 50,000 sq ft building and developed a 10-acre site to create a distribution hub for Truckee Tahoe Lumber. The new facility is on USA Parkway in McCarran and has an office, rail spur, open storage, and a secured perimeter.
The Lepori design-build team converted an aging warehouse into a state-of-the-art facility with a 4,500 sq ft brewery and a 17,025 sq ft warehouse in Spark. Support facilities include two taprooms, 2 bars, 2 coolers, offices, a conference room, a break room, and restrooms.
To avoid the time and expense of redesign, the Lepori team rebooted 2008 drawings for Hobey’s expansion. We bridged the old design with advances in technology and materials. We collaborated with subcontractors to use LED lighting, efficient equipment, and bold finishes.
The Lepori team is completely renovating floors seven through 17 in the downtown Reno property while the building remains operational. Work includes installing all-new finishes at the elevator lobby and corridors as well as the complete renovation of all guest rooms. Room highlights include adding a kitchenette and all new finishes.
City of Reno celebrated when the Lepori team tore down a long-abandoned service station in old Southwest Reno to build the new Maverik. It has 5,482 sq ft of food and beverage, including a full kitchen and diner seating. We also developed the 69,816 sq ft pad.
The Lepori team constructed a new convenience store on a 3.39-acre site including fuel canopies, below-grade storage tanks, and utility provisions for future retail pad located on the same parcel. The car wash building is included with the improvements working closely with the owner to ensure equipment is up to the Golden Gate standard.
Frank Lepori Construction has been a key designer-builder for Jacksons Food Stores for a decade, working on most of their 17 stores in Nevada. The new store is 40% larger than the old store we tore down. The new store has extra design elements that make it faster and more fun to shop.
The Lepori team collaborated with Chef Gino Scala to create a full-service kitchen and dining tenant improvement on an aggressive 12-week schedule. This is our second project with Gino.
Frank Lepori Construction was an ongoing resource for Sticks throughout its seven years of development. We collaborated with three different architectural firms to provide preconstruction services, permitting, site development, shell construction, and tenant improvements.
While most restaurants built by the Lepori team are design-build, we also bid on projects like Steak and Shake in South Meadows in an open bid environment.
On an aggressive 10-week schedule, the Lepori team converted a wing restaurant into a 4,900 sf upscale bar and restaurant with fine finishes.
The Lepori team led the conversion of a bowling alley/pub into an adventure park. Work included an extensive demo to remove a full commercial kitchen, bar, booth seating, all existing walls, all casework and electrical and plumbing in 33 locations to make way for an open gymnasium-type of space.
Using Design-Build, the Lepori team delivered a 19,800 SF pre-engineered metal building showroom and a 7-acre fully developed site. The facility includes a showroom, sales offices, parts area, shop, and car wash area. The site features a park-like setting with extensive landscaping, creating a mecca for RV enthusiasts
The Lepori design-build team consolidated multiple parcels and brought in utilities to create a commercial center with easy access off Lemmon Valley Drive. Ample parking and welcoming landscaping enhance the center, which includes Jimboys Tacos, Mynt Dispensary and Instant Smog.

“On all University projects, it is advantageous to have an experienced general contractor on the team who can provide feedback on a project with sensible and constructible ideas, value engineering, a firm knowledge for cost impacts created by changes to design and a team player mentality that allows projects to progress in a win-win manner throughout construction. The Lepori Construction team exhibited these qualities.”

“The St. Albert’s School job had a very tight timeline and many complexities. They calmly took us from pre-construction through the final inspection, performed brilliantly, and brought the job in under budget and on time.

“It’s always challenging to maintain healthcare as usual when you have a large team of craftsmen working next door, but the team led by Frank Lepori Construction took very much to heart the caution required to work in proximity to some of our smallest and sickest patients. They were accommodating and caring every step of the way. Our facilities staff and our Children’s Hospital team appreciated their communication, attention to cleanliness and craftsmanship. We had zero complaints from staff during construction.”
—Kristen Cleveland-Ceballos, RN, BSN, CPN, Manager of Children’s Inpatient Services and Infusion Services
“Frank Lepori Construction, Inc. was very responsive to questions, concerns, and requests. We were a little apprehensive at first to go with a local GC, since we didn’t have any experience with them, but were very happy we did. The Credit Union saved a considerable amount by doing so, and we were extremely satisfied with their performance.”
—Nathan Shepherd, AC, PMP, Construction Project Manager
“Being able to collaborate with Kevin Good in the Lepori Cabinet Shop made our design process go quicker. He used his millwork design expertise to adapt to our needs and evolving state legal requirements to develop solutions that function well. His proposal to use roll-up cabinetry that we lock at night meant we didn’t have to move product to a safe every night, saving Washoe Wellness $15,000 a month. This is now a new industry standard. Kevin also used his creativity with wood and finishes to enhance our design concept.”
—Mark Pitchford, Manager, Washoe Wellness

—Dustin Cleveland, Red Development Project Manager
“At Peg’s, we have a very specific workflow to support our business. Our Lemmon Valley location was especially challenging because it had a very different layout than we had ever used previously. Lepori Construction is a great partner to work with. Their team was able to accommodate all our numerous requests, and even present the pros and cons of each option, so that we could make the best design choice. In particular, I was quite impressed with the work that the designer, Dominic Gonzales, did on the plan to support us the entire way to maximize every corner of our space and nail down the entire plan to the exact inch.”
—Fred Lee, Owner
