What we do

  1. Spray foam roofing and insulation

    Foam roofs, attics, walls, crawlspaces

    Spray foam is the specialty. On a flat Santa Fe roof it goes down as one continuous surface with no seams to fail, and it insulates the same deck it waterproofs. Done properly it starts with a tear-off to a sound deck, not a coat sprayed over whatever failed underneath.

    The same material seals the rest of the building. In walls, attics and crawlspaces it stops air instead of just filling space, which is the part that changes what a house costs to run. Older adobe and frame houses were built before anybody thought hard about the envelope, and they are the ones worth fixing.

  2. Stucco and diamond finish plaster

    Restore, re-coat, match

    Stucco outside, plaster inside. Same skill either way: a hand-applied surface that has to hold color, shed water, and still look like a person made it. We patch and match existing finishes, re-coat whole elevations, and trowel diamond finish inside.

    A re-stucco is not a paint job. The old finish gets sounded out and cut back to something solid, cracks get opened before they get filled, and the new coat gets floated to match the texture already on the building.

    Up here the finish is a wear item. A house that was done well the first time deserves to be brought back the same way.

  3. General contracting and custom work

    The work around the work

    Foam and plaster rarely arrive on their own. Additions, remodels, envelope repair, and the framing, trim and coordination that come with them. If the job needs a general contractor, we are one.

How we work

We take the old roof off.

There is a shortcut in this trade called a layover. Instead of tearing the failed roof off, you spray foam straight over the top of it and hand the owner a cheaper number.

It does not hold. It adds a lot of weight to a roof. You can only do it once, so the next repair lands on somebody at full price. And whatever failed under there is still under there.

We get called out to those houses. That is how we know.

Cheaper on the invoice. More expensive on the house.

The finish

Seven and a half
thousand feet.

The UV at this elevation cooks everything. Stucco and diamond finish plaster do not last the way they would at sea level. Color chalks out, the south and west walls go first, and water gets into hairline cracks and freezes overnight.

So restoration in Santa Fe is not a one-time job. It comes back around whether or not anybody is building.

Diamond finish is a hand skill.

It goes on in thin coats and gets burnished with a steel trowel until the surface turns hard and faintly polished. Done right the wall is not one flat color. It moves as the light crosses it.

It is also why a patch put in by somebody who does not do this every day never quite disappears. Matching an existing finish means matching the aggregate, the color, and the way the last person moved the trowel.

Who we work for

Builders, architects, and the people who own the house.

Custom home builders

If you put up two or three houses a year you are not keeping a plaster crew on payroll. That is the call we take. We sub the stucco and the diamond finish, work to your schedule, and stay out of the way of your other trades.

Architects and designers

Bring us the finish you drew and we can put a sample on the wall before anybody commits to it.

Homeowners

Three things bring people to us: a finish that has gone chalky, a crack that keeps coming back after the last repair, or a roof somebody laid over instead of replaced. All three get worse if you wait a season.

Where we work

Santa Fe,
and north.

Santa Fe County and the communities north of it. If the house is further out than that, call and ask.
