Agua Fria, Santa Fe
Windows & doors for Agua Fria homes
Agua Fria stretches along the Santa Fe River west of downtown, where some of the area's oldest family adobes stand near newer homes and subdivisions. That mix means every project starts with a look at what kind of house it is, and whose rules apply to it.

Homes in Agua Fria
Old village roots, newer neighbors
Agua Fria is one of the area's long-established traditional communities, with roots well before modern Santa Fe spread out to meet it. Along Agua Fria Street and near the river you'll find older adobe homes, many added onto over generations, alongside houses and subdivisions built much more recently.
Part of the area has been brought into Santa Fe city limits while other parts remain in the county, so the rules for your project depend on your exact address. We'll help you find out which applies.
Common projects
- Windows for deep, irregular adobe openings
- Replacing worn wood and aluminum windows in additions
- New front and back doors in thick walls
- Sliders and windows for newer homes
- Repairs to keep older windows and doors working
What we plan for
Planning an Agua Fria project
City or county
We confirm whether your home is inside Santa Fe city limits or in the county, so any permit questions go to the right office.
Houses built in stages
Older homes here often have rooms added over decades, each with different walls and window sizes. We measure and plan each part of the house on its own terms.
Near the river
Low ground by the river can mean more moisture at the base of walls. We flash and seal sills and door thresholds so water drains away from the opening.

Is my Agua Fria home in the city or the county?
It depends on the address, since parts of Agua Fria have been annexed into Santa Fe and others haven't. We'll help you confirm it early, because it decides which office handles any permits.
Our adobe has rooms built in different decades. Do all the windows need to match?
Not necessarily. Many owners prefer a consistent look on the street side and more flexibility elsewhere. We'll show you options for each part of the house and how they look together.
Can you work around the acequia or gardens next to our house?
Yes. We plan the carry path and staging area during the first visit and protect plantings, ditch banks and walkways during the work.
