"Greg is genuine, thoughtful, and hardworking. He installed heat underlayment and new vinyl flooring, plus updated my outdated (1980's) bathroom. I am satisfied with the final outcome for the price!"

"Construction R us did a total rehaul of the electrical on our house and they did a stellar job. I found them to be communicative and honest. It's sometimes hard to find pros who do work and who you can trust to give you an honest assessment but this company definitely fits that bill. They also did a great job working around our schedule. Additionally they patched the dry wall after they were done and they did such a good job texture and colour matching we didn't even need to paint."

Customers say: Quick response

"Aztec Mountain Construction was hired to remodel the bathroom for me. The entire process was painless beginning with the estimate. Everything was itemized and the job was clearly defined. Hugo communicated with me frequently letting me know where they were as far as progress and made sure that I was satisfied every step of the way. Even during the construction, I made changes and they were very accommodating. In the end, the job turned out amazing. The job was done so well that a family member even asked for an estimate for their bathroom. I will certainly be using this company for any other construction jobs that I decide to have as I've seen their work and I'm completely satisfied."

"A huge thank you to Page and his team of highly competent contractors at Extra Mile Builders. They took a very dated master bath and turned it into my dream bath at a price I could afford. They allowed me to take the lead on design options but were firm in keeping me on budget. I have a growing list of additional renovations I would love to do at some point and will definitely be calling Extra Mile Builders again. Thanks Page!"

"We had a first-rate experience with this renovation team. They truly helped us realize the vision of what we imagined, and beautiful results were delivered. A home project of this scale is daunting to say the least and if issues arose they were addressed and resolved. We are absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out and would hire them again."

"It was a pleasure working with Better Built Homes from the get go. (That's not always the case). I spoke with one of their designers over the phone and he came out to look at my bathroom which needed some custom work. Communication was on point. They finished on time and it looks amazing!! I would definitely recommend them to my friends & family."

"The concrete driveway at my home was about 40 years old and had been breaking up for the last decade or so. I knew I had to replace it but I was concerned that doing so would damage the sewer and gas lines that run under the driveway. Then I noticed that Mountain Side was doing some of my neighbors drives so I spoke to them about my concerns. They assured me they could do the work without disturbing the underground utilities. They removed the old concrete WITHOUT using a jackhammer. Safer on the utilities and quieter. I then stress tested my sewer line by filling 2 bath tubs and started them draining them, at the same time I flushed 3 toilets and turned on every faucet in the house. No backup. They then put down some rebar (the old drive did not have rebar) and poured the new drive the next day. I now have a new attractive driveway that my granddaughters can use as a canvas for their chalk art. COST: I checked several other contractors and Mountain Side was on the low side of the average. WORKMANSHIP: Excellent Practically a work of art. CREW: Professional and courteous. They knew what they were supposed to do and did it. NEATNESS: Excellent All construction debris was removed and landscaping on the side of the drive replaced neatly. OVERALL IMPRESSION: Very pleased with the outcome."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Start by obtaining a soil report to identify caliche layers that dictate foundation designs for home building. Check your flood zone status and local zoning rules to determine allowable building heights, setbacks, and lot coverage. You should also evaluate your south-facing sun exposure to maximize passive solar efficiency. Reviewing these details shapes a safe and compliant construction plan for your property in NM.

Helpful?

Assess your local soil conditions, as caliche hardpan and expansive clay complicate foundation work during home building. Check your zoning and lot coverage limits, especially in historic districts with strict design rules. For older homes, inspect for outdated electrical panels, septic systems, or hazardous materials like asbestos. Hiring a local professional to evaluate these factors ensures your property is ready for a successful project in Albuquerque.

Helpful?

During home building, you must balance traditional aesthetics with modern performance. Maintaining a classic flat roof requires frequent maintenance to prevent leaks during intense summer monsoons. You face similar choices when adding south-facing windows, which provide winter warmth but cause severe summer overheating if overhangs are miscalculated. Balancing these regional architectural traditions with practical weather protection is essential for any project in Albuquerque.

Helpful?

Foundation design and stucco applications are highly sensitive to errors during home building. Improper footings in expansive clay or caliche lead to severe structural cracking. Skipping proper flashing or drainage planes behind stucco causes chronic moisture intrusion. Flat roof waterproofing mistakes also result in immediate ponding and structural damage during intense NM monsoons. Always secure proper permits and inspections to catch these critical flaws early.

Helpful?

Ignoring small stucco cracks allows monsoon moisture to penetrate and damage your walls. Overwatering traditional landscaping near your foundation introduces water into expansive soils, causing structural movement. You shorten the lifespan of home building work by neglecting to clear flat roof scuppers or failing to replace sun-damaged exterior window caulk. Address these maintenance tasks promptly to protect your Albuquerque property from severe weather damage.
