At our house showing all the plumbing associated with the solar add-ons appeared neat, tidy, and well constructed. The heating bills we were shown tended to support the quality of the installation and the efficiency of the design. With nothing else to go on, I would have rated them \"A\". However, after the house was under contract we paid for a pre-purchase inspection to attempt to uncover any hidden issues. Boy, are we glad we did! | |Our inspector found that the collector loop expansion tank on the roof had no air in the pre-charge air bladder. When he came down to check the floor loop expansion tank he found not only no air in the bladder, but water coming out of the pre-charge air valve. On top of that, the act of checking for air, plus the water weight of being full, caused the expansion tank to come loose from the wall bracket and hang from the plastic pipe connecting it to the floor loop system. Understandably, this concerned the sellers and they contacted Valverde Energy to come repair the system. | |This is where my view of Valverde Energy began to change. The sellers were clearly non-technical - having purchased the solar system for tax credits and utility savings - and they relied completely on the pronouncements of Valverde. And the owner of Valverde told them that our inspector had depressurized the collector loop while checking for a tank pre-charge and that that had led to the floor loop tank filling up, increasing in weight and breaking loose from its moorings on the wall. He then did some work, declared all to be working perfectly, and left them with a bill for $159.35. He also called our house inspector and dressed him down for 30 or 40 minutes - alternating between his own qualifications as a solar installer and our inspector's deficiencies in his field. | |Needless to say, we did not purchase that house! There were far too many questions about what was really going on with the solar system. The sellers were angry about not selling the house and getting a repair bill. While they did agree to return our earnest money they were insistent that we, or our inspector, reimburse them for the \"repair bill\" from Valverde. | |Over the course of a month I corresponded back and forth with them about why I did not believe that the inspection caused any damage, but only uncovered a pre-existing condition. They would always forward my email to Valverde and then pass on the response to me. The responses never contained technical details of how the inspection caused the damage, but they did include denials of tone and content of the phone call described to me by our home inspector. | |The bottom line for us was: 1) This was a closed loop system with no liquid connection between the collector and floor loops (confirmed by Valverde), and so no pressure drop in the collector loop should have affected the fluid in the floor loop, 2) codes and inspection standards require that tank brackets be strong enough to hold even a completely full expansion tank (also confirmed by Valverde), 3) water escaping from the air valve on the floor loop expansion tank indicates a cracked air bladder that should be replaced (Valverde never replaced the tank, but declared all well after rehanging the tank). | |There are always two side to any dispute, but the lack of specificity regarding how the inspection caused the problems Valverde felt compelled to repair makes me leery of ever using them for any work. In fairness, the soldering and pipe routing that I saw looked to be good quality, and so I did not give the lowest rating I could have."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/nm/taos/valverde-energy-reviews-7538131.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Landmark Landscapes of NM","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NM","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Donald W."},"reviewBody":"Nowlin was paid $300 to do landscape design and drawings for submittal to ABQ Landmarks architect.

Construction of retaining wall was not straight or level. Nowlin was unable to professionally measurements and guage grading and drainage. Because the work needed to be coordinated with the construction of a new porch, Nowlin needed to do soil removal and preliminary grading before contractor could build porch. Contractor had to do additional grading that Nowlin would not do to build porch. Nowlin was paid in full for work at completion of preliminary grade work and before retaining wall was completed. At this time the quality of the work on the wall and the issue of drainage was raised, but Nowlin did not address either issues. Owner should have held back a % of the fee at this time. Upon conpletion of porch Nowlin was asked to finish work he was paid in full for. He failed to return to the job and stated that he had completed all the work he was contracted for and would not address any of the issues - stating he put in more time on the job than he had esatimated it would take. I'm sorry if he under estimated the job. He was fired and a different contractor was brought on.

Residential Design reviews from real Angi homeowners in Columbus, NM
Very well. The initial designer did an excellent job of measuring and getting the exact design down. The installers did a quick and professional job. I will use them again in the future.

"This was a trial job before a potential kitchen removal. It involved moving our boiler a short distance, walling off the area, fixing the floor, some electrical. The Babcock family themselves professional but didn't follow thru with the subs. The subs were only concerned with doing the fastest, cheapest job they could do (classic example is on the plumbing rework, the plumber substituted PEX for copper and the former isn't rated for the latter job)."

FAQs for residential design projects in Columbus, NM
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
