"Daniel and his crew did a good job planning and completing the project of adding 500 sq ft to the back of my house. That included demolition of back porch and fireplace, expanding the living room, primary bedroom, primary bathroom and large walk-in closet. We worked well together in the design and execution of my dream home. The best way to communicate with Daniel is by text."

"Working alongside Mesa Verde on this new construction project was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail throughout every phase of the build. As the main builder, Mesa Verde maintained strong communication, stayed organized, and consistently delivered high-quality work while keeping the project moving efficiently and on schedule. From Durabuild’s perspective as project manager, the collaboration was seamless. Mesa Verde’s leadership team was proactive, solution-oriented, and highly responsive whenever coordination or adjustments were needed. Their commitment to quality and teamwork made a significant impact on the success of the project and created a positive working environment for everyone involved. We truly value the partnership and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with Mesa Verde again. They are a dependable and highly capable builder that we would confidently"

"Bruce Robinson I would unreservedly recommend Lionel Martinez, L Martinez Construction LLC, for any home construction job, from a remodel to a new home build. Lionel is a superb builder as well as an honest businessman. We hired Lionel for a significant construction job on our existing home. Lionel laid out the job in detail, provided a thorough estimate, and came in on budget. Based on that excellent experience, we had him build us a cabin in the mountains. Lionel was an exemplary contractor, laying out the project, establishing both fix prices and allowances based on the component of the job, and stuck to these prices without the shifty add-ons that you get from many contractors. His workmanship is superb, and he has a network of subcontractors who also performed at a high level. He ensured that his workers and subs kept the job site clean and completed the work to his exacting standards, even if that required additional work. Finally, he worked with my wife and me to make sure the finished product would exceed our expectations. In the case of our cabin, there was no mystery about the budget, and no surprises - the cabin came in on budget as well. Having had other experiences with contractors that left us unsatisfied, I can say that from the workmanship to the budget, Lionel Martinez exceeded our expectations in every way."

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"Felipe and his crew did a large project for me (back porch) and myriad smaller items to repair our new home. Short version: I'll definitely be using them again and recommending them, but you need to be engaged. They are not a set-and-forget crew. In general, the quality of the work is high. The porch is exactly as we imagined it and we're quite happy. The only issues I have with some of the work is the fit and finish. Roofing nails missing the joists weren't redone, so now there are nails hanging into my porch. The ramset nails they used to attach the base plate to the concrete pad had some kind of wax/rubber around them which wasn't completely removed prior to painting, so there are weird nubs sticking up on the base plate. Some of the screws on door moulding weren't puttied over. The biggest issue I had with them was communication and scheduling. Felipe forgot a few parts of the project and things got dropped a few times. It worked out because I was paying close attention, but I think he may just have too much going on so things will fall between the cracks. Scheduling was a regular issue. Our project took place right outside of our bedroom, so we wanted to know the night before if they would be there. It was about 50/50 whether they'd give us that heads up. They also broke an expensive high security lock and I was not reimbursed or discounted. On the scale of the project, it was a rounding error in cost, but it's the principle of the matter on that one."

"Highly recommend these guys! Went beyond customer service expectation and communicated through the entire process. I first got our walk path done by them, stamped concrete and also flagstone. I then had them do a retaining wall that almost wrapped around our entire property including added stairs for the dogs, and in the back yard a added grilling area. The retaining wall process required much work because they had to dig and level. To me the price was very fair , major house projects that are done correctly are not cheap , but the outcome is all worth it because it looks amazing and is done right. These guys know what they are doing, are honest , and their work ethic is absolutely amazing."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

You can handle minor home building maintenance in Santa Fe by safely clearing debris from roof canales and flushing them with water. For hairline stucco cracks, apply a compatible lime-based patching material, and never use Portland cement on traditional stucco. Monitor sticking doors through a full seasonal cycle before making adjustments. Call a local professional immediately if cracks exceed a quarter inch or if water stains appear near roof beams.

Helpful?

Several property features complicate home building in Santa Fe. Expansive clay soils require engineered foundations like caissons instead of standard slabs. Properties near historic acequias have strict setback restrictions and drainage constraints. Furthermore, hillside lots near arroyos demand engineered drainage plans and retaining walls. Finally, homes outside the city water service area require well drilling and septic system installations, which demand strict adherence to NM environmental regulations.

Helpful?

During home building in Santa Fe, you face several key trade-offs. You must balance authentic adobe construction, which offers better thermal mass, against faster stucco over frame. Additionally, NM energy codes require significant insulation, which conflicts with historic wall thickness standards. You also must weigh lush landscaping desires against mandatory drought-tolerant planting and water harvesting requirements. Finally, strict historic district rules limit roofline options for solar panel placement.

Helpful?

A complete permit record and a Certificate of Occupancy are the clearest signs of proper home building in Santa Fe. Correctly applied stucco shows no cracking around windows and features weep screeds for moisture drainage. Flat roofs must include properly positioned canales and parapet flashing to direct water away from adobe walls. Additionally, the foundation design must match local soil conditions, and the property must feature completed water harvesting infrastructure.

Helpful?

Create a seasonal routine to protect your home building investments across NM climate cycles. In late winter, inspect adobe walls for freeze-thaw cracking and check flat roofs for standing water. During late spring, examine window caulking for UV degradation. After the first summer monsoon rain, check ceilings and viga penetrations for water stains. Finally, clear your roof drains and winterize your water harvesting cisterns every fall before freezing temperatures arrive.
