"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"People have actually asked me where I got the slate!  Both the driveway and the backyard look brilliant.  They showed up when they said they would, did the job in a timely manner and were incredibly professional.  From now on whenever I have any jobs in my house that need concrete I will not hesitate to contact them.

"This is a beautiful home.  Joe has been a pleasure to work with.   This is the second project we have worked with Joe.  He built a garage for us several years ago, so we asked him to bid on this new home.
Joe subcontracted to a great flooring company and a wonderful granite company and a fabulous cabinet maker.  He and his crew did the framing, slab, roofing, drywall, and most of the work.  Joe is on the job site most days and believes in doing the job right.  The biggest problem we had with this project was that the cultured marble subcontractor was not responsive and was slow and not interested in finishing the marble or doing the job right.  I doubt Joe will use this marble complany again.
Joe doesn't mind having the homeowner around.  My husband walked around the site every evening and if he had any questions, Joe was always responsive and willing to answer questions and explain why things were being done the way they were.
Joe's crew is pleasant to be around.  This home is being built for my in-laws and is next door to my home, so I spent a lot of time around the crew and got to know them. 
Our one thing that we feel could be improved is that Joe needs to write more detailed contracts.  It avoids any mis-understandings when changes need to be made or when lighting or other fixtures are being picked out.  We haven't had any problems, but the potential exists without detailed contracts.  Joe is a man of honor and integrity and is one of the few that still works on his word and a hand shake. 
Over the past 6 - 8 months of bidding, contract and building we have gotten to know Joe and would highly reccomend him to others for home building or remodeling.

"the job was completed by 2 men but the fence & gate are not lined up straight; more of a zigzag & gate did not close properly so I had to have someone else redo the gate closure. They did not use a plumb line; just eyeballed it... Luckily it's in my backyard so not many people see it. At least they got the job done quickly right after I moved into my new home & needed a safe place to keep our dogs.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Home building in Ruidoso involves balancing mountain aesthetics with strict fire-resistant material requirements. You must also navigate a short construction season, as freezing temperatures from October through April halt concrete work. Building on steep terrain offers beautiful views but requires complex, engineered foundations. Finally, you must choose between upgrading to energy-efficient insulation right away or facing higher long-term utility bills in this mountain climate.

Helpful?

Steep, rocky terrain makes home building highly complex in Ruidoso, requiring rock blasting and engineered foundations. Narrow, winding mountain roads restrict heavy equipment access and complicate material deliveries. Additionally, strict wildfire codes demand specialized exterior materials and defensible space clearing. You must also account for heavy snow loads and moderate seismic activity, which dictate specialized roof and framing designs to keep your structure safe.

Helpful?

A successful home building project requires a licensed general contractor to manage the entire process. You also rely on certified specialists for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. In NM, steep mountain lots demand specialized excavation crews for grading and earthwork. Additionally, you will hire expert log and timber frame builders, licensed septic system installers, and dedicated professionals for safe wood stove and fireplace installations.

Helpful?

Always verify that your professionals hold active state licenses and carry adequate liability insurance before starting any home building project. Prioritize contractors with proven experience navigating Ruidoso terrain, specifically steep grading and rocky excavations. Confirm they understand local wildfire construction standards and have strong networks of nearby subcontractors. Finally, request references from recent mountain projects to ensure they handle winter weather delays and strict building codes effectively.

Helpful?

Start by checking your local zoning laws and homeowners association rules to confirm your property allows new home building. Because much of NM falls within wildfire hazard zones, your lot requires an assessment for fire-resistant construction standards. Inspect the slope and soil conditions, as steep grades demand specialized foundations. Finally, verify your access to municipal water and sewer lines, or secure permits for a well and septic system.
