"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."

"Felipe and all of his employees were great! Did a big remodel on our master bath and moved bravely from the 70s to the 21st century! Huge walk in shower and custom vanity is gorgeous! Felipe and Art checked in with us on all decisions and made some excellent recommendations. Finished within the timeline discussed. We have another bathroom to go and will definitely be calling Professional Contracting Builders!"

"The work went great. This was the most positive experience I have ever had with a contractor. The quality of MountainSide's work and customer service was outstanding. When MountainSide evaluated my project, they took the time to listen to my concerns, discussed different options for completing the work, and gave me a detailed, written estimate. Unlike the other contractors that gave me estimates, they advised me upfront that part of the work required a city permit - I checked and they were right - and took on the responsibility for getting the permit and complying with all pertinent city ordinances regarding the work. Their work crews showed up on time and did a great job. They were polite and efficient and they took the time to explain what they were doing and why. More importantly, the quality of their work was outstanding and they cleaned up the worksite at the end of each day. Finally, MountainSide's customer service was outstanding. They kept me up-to-date on the status of the city permit, worked with me to schedule the most convenient date for the work, and followed through with me on every step of the project, including the removal of the cones and barricades after the concrete had hardened. I have hired several contractors through the years, and although I have been generally pleased with the work, the quality, efficiency, and level of customer service provided by MountainSide Contractors was absolutely outstanding. The next time I need work done, I will not hesitate to call them. If you are looking for a contractor that will show up when they say they will, a contractor who will make the effort to fully assess the project and give you a fair price, and a contractor who will be there for you every step of the way, you cannot go wrong with MountainSide Contractors."

"Excellent work, attitude, and knowledge.  He was punctual, courteous, and methodical.  He called me at home, after the oven installation, to tell me that he was not quite satisfied with the job.  And even though I was completely satisfied, he returned the following day to make it better!  Now that's what I call customer service!

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.
