What to include in a request

Seasonal and property considerations in Albuquerque
Strong sun, dry air, dust and broad temperature swings can affect exterior finishes, seals, doors, gates and outdoor structures. Exterior work is often scheduled during milder months, with the hottest or coldest periods reserved for indoor repairs, mounting and assembly.
Scheduling around weather, delivery dates and property access can reduce repeat visits. Indoor tasks such as interior painting or deck and fence maintenance may be easier to plan when exterior conditions are less predictable.

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, structural and permit-related work may require a licensed specialty contractor. Requirements depend on the exact project and current state or local rules.
