Avila Construction — adobe and traditional architecture in Santa Fe, NM
Daniel Avila trained as an apprentice to a master carpenter before starting his own firm in Santa Fe. After 19 years of family-owned operation, the company works with materials specific to New Mexico’s vernacular building tradition: wood, adobe, and saltillo tile. That focus is deliberate. A lot of contractors in Santa Fe will use any material a client requests; Avila has built around knowing these particular ones well. Website: santafebuild.com.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
Adobe and saltillo expertise is harder to find than general renovation work. Homeowners restoring or building in the traditional Pueblo and Territorial styles need contractors who understand how these materials behave — how adobe responds to moisture, how saltillo tiles set, how wood joins work in dry high-altitude climates. Avila’s 25 years working in this specific craft (19 of them under his own business) makes this a useful directory entry for those searches.
