Henderson Elite Windows provides professional residential window installation in Henderson, NV for residential and commercial properties across the Las Vegas Valley. Cutting an opening in stucco cuts through three layers, and only one of them is visible from the street. The window goes back in an afternoon. The other two have to be rebuilt in the right order or the wall is finished leaking inward.
What this page covers is that work. Which unit to buy belongs on the product pages, and leaving the stucco closed is a method question answered elsewhere on this site.
A stucco wall here is a water-resistive paper, a metal lath nailed through it, and two or three coats of cement over that, with a weep screed along the bottom so anything that gets behind the cement can drain back out. The paper is the wall's actual rain layer. Cement is the thing that takes the weather and cracks.
So an honest new-frame installation cuts the cement and lath back past the frame line, exposes the paper, and reinstates it in the order water travels: sill layer first, jambs over it, head over both, each sheet shedding onto the one below. A patch laid over the top of everything looks right and drains backward.
Beneath the frame sits a tray pitched toward the exterior, standing proud at the rear and stopped off at both sides, discharging onto the paper rather than into the framing. Monsoon rain here comes in hard, brief, near-horizontal bursts, and that is exactly the weather which finds a lap built in the wrong sequence.
The unit itself sits on hardwood packing that bears against framing rather than on cured foam, anchored to the pattern printed in its own instruction sheet. We open and shut every sash before the casing goes back, because a jamb pulled in by a sixteenth of an inch is enough to cost you a lock keeper.
Henderson exempts a straight swap in an existing opening, so the version of this work that gets reviewed is the one where the hole changes size. Nevada licensing has two parts worth checking rather than one: the classification should be C-8, glass and glazing, and the pocket card carries a monetary limit on what that license may contract for on a single site. An active license is not automatically a big enough one.
An expensive window in a badly rebuilt wall will stain a drywall return within a few seasons, while a mid-priced one in a correctly lapped opening simply will not. Ask to be shown the paper before the lath goes back.
When this is not your purchase. If your openings are sound block-frame aluminum in uncracked stucco and you have no wish to open the wall at all, the retrofit method is the right answer and this page is not describing your job. And if the stucco is already cracked across a corner diagonally, that is movement in the structure, which is a different trade and should be looked at first.

Materials, equipment and how we do residential window installation
The difference between residential window installation that lasts and residential window installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with spectrally selective low-E coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, UV-stabilized vinyl and pultruded fiberglass frames, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Henderson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in the Las Vegas Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
