Built for Santa Fe
Windows for adobe walls, altitude and high-desert sun
Many Santa Fe homes are Pueblo Revival or Territorial style, with thick adobe or frame-and-stucco walls and deep window openings. Off-the-shelf sizes rarely fit, so we measure each opening and plan the sill, the jamb extensions and the plaster or stucco returns.
If your home is in one of the city's historic districts, exterior changes may need review by the Historic Districts Review Board (H-Board). We can help you prepare for that process. Approval is up to the city, but you won't be navigating it alone.
At about 7,000 feet, insulated glass needs extra thought too, and so do the intense sun, wind and big temperature swings. We account for all of it when we recommend glass.
