"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."

"I hired POWER Construction for a complete remodel of my home, and the experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail throughout the entire project. From the initial consultation and design phase to final completion, communication was clear and consistent. The owner, Albert Gonzales, kept me informed of timelines, progress, and any decisions that needed to be made, which made a large-scale remodel feel organized and manageable. The crew was punctual, respectful of my home, and maintained a clean and safe work environment. The quality of the work truly stands out. Every aspect of the remodel was completed with care and precision, and the finished result reflects both strong technical skill and pride in their work. Any questions or minor adjustments were addressed promptly and professionally. I would confidently recommend POWER Construction to anyone from remodel or a full build."

"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"

"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"

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.
