When Fire Station #1 needed to modernize critical spaces, the goal wasn’t cosmetic. It was operational.

As a commercial general contractor serving Sparks and Reno, Reyman Construction renovated the first-floor gear wash area and reconfigured third-floor living quarters—all while the station remained active.

The Challenge

First Floor – Equipment Wash Room

The existing space lacked the infrastructure needed for new heavy-duty gear-wash equipment. Proper pads, utility coordination, and durable finishes were needed to support long-term use.

Third Floor – Living Quarters

Dorm areas were underutilized. Storage and circulation space limited functionality. The station needed new restrooms and showers, including ADA-compliant accommodations, to better serve crews working 24-hour shifts.

Construction Obstacles

• Elevated third-floor renovation
• Continuous coordination within an operational fire station
• Tight staging and mobilization conditions
• Precise sequencing of demolition, plumbing, framing, and finishes

For organizations seeking a fire station renovation contractor in Sparks, NV, or a municipal construction company in Northern Nevada, these conditions distinguish planning from execution.

The Strategy

Reyman Construction approached the project with disciplined preconstruction and trade coordination.

Preconstruction Alignment

In-house debrief and owner coordination set expectations for phasing and logistics.

Trade Partner Coordination

Early subcontractor engagement ensured schedule buy-in and material procurement.

Execution Plan

• Expedite demolition with limited interruption.
• Advance plumbing rough-ins early
• Maintain schedule momentum from framing to finishes.
• Preserve operational readiness throughout construction.

This is how public facility renovations stay on track.

Scope of Work

First Floor

• Removal and relocation of outdated wash infrastructure
• Installation of new owner-furnished heavy-duty wash equipment
• Structural pad preparation
• Utility coordination and wall improvements

Third Floor

• Demolition of storage restroom and circulation areas
• Construction of three new restrooms, including one ADA-compliant unit
• Designer-selected tile finishes
• Tempered glass shower enclosures
• Solid surface casework
• Upgraded plumbing fixtures

Materials were selected for durability, hygiene performance, and longevity—critical in public safety facilities.

The Results

• Modernized firefighter hygiene facilities
• ADA-compliant restroom installation
• Optimized use of existing building footprint
• Upgraded infrastructure for long-term durability
• Minimal disruption to daily emergency operations
