"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."

"This is Donna Robinson. Below is my review for L Martinez Construction LLC (Lionel Martinez) L Martinez Construction LLC has completed three building projects for us. The first project was a remodel of an existing home. This project included the demolition of our existing front entry, the addition of a large front porch, decorative rock work on the exterior walls and the bricking of the exterior porch. The entire existing home was reroofed with industrial grade shingles as well. We were very happy with the quality of Lionel s finished work. We had bid this project out to 3 other highly recommended contractors and although Lionel was not the lowest bidder, we had the most confidence in his proposal because he included the most detail on his bid and had a firm grasp on the time frame for completion of the project. His proposal showed me how organized Lionel is and how much of a stickler for detail he is. For me, both are very important character traits when hiring and working with someone. As we progressed through the project we learned just how knowledgeable, experienced and resourceful Lionel is. It was also clear he is very selective on subcontractors he hires, expects exceptional work out of them, and actively monitors their work. Finally, at the close of the project we could see that not only does he accept only high-quality work from himself but he is on top of every detail on costs of his projects. He presented us with a detailed report and walked my husband through every line item. Lionel is an honest businessman as well. We were very happy with our whole experience with the first project, so when we decided we wanted a heated driveway installed (2nd project) we went straight to Lionel. He helped us choose and plan for an electric heated driveway system. He prepared a bid detailing all costs including demolition of the existing driveway. Lionel did an excellent job installing our heated driveway, monitoring the electric installation and personally executing the concrete pour from start to finish. Next, we decided we wanted to build a cabin in the remote northern NM mountains (3rd project). Of course, knowing this would be a particularly challenging project, I asked Lionel if he would work with us one more time. He worked with us on every detail of this project. Lionel worked with our home designer on planning and details and navigated the complex permitting process. Next, he prepared the site by moving the electrical lines underground on our property, working with electricians to physically prepare the trenches and conduits to move these electrical lines underground and finally built the cabin. This was a huge undertaking, given the remote location and challenging building conditions. The result was A++. We simply could not be happier with the outcome of the projects Lionel completed for us and more grateful to Lionel and for Lionel. My view is: If you are fortunate enough to have Lionel work on a project for you, you will be very happy with the results and with the whole experience. I have every confidence recommending him as your contractor/project leader. Donna Robinson"

"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."

"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!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.
