Homes in Rancho Viejo
A planned community on open land
Rancho Viejo spreads across open grassland south of the city, near Santa Fe Community College, with frame-and-stucco homes in Santa Fe style built over the past few decades. Lots look out to the Sangre de Cristos and across wide-open country, which also means plenty of wind and dust.
Many houses still have the windows and patio doors they were built with. Those were often builder-grade units, and seals, rollers and latches are now wearing out.
Common projects
- Replacing original vinyl windows with fogged glass
- Swapping worn patio sliders for smoother, tighter doors
- Better glass for hot west-facing rooms
- New entry doors in colors approved by the HOA
- Weatherstripping and slider repairs
What we plan for
Planning a Rancho Viejo project
HOA guidelines
Exterior changes in Rancho Viejo may need approval under its design guidelines. We supply frame colors, styles and specs for your submittal and order after it's approved.
Wind and dust
With few trees to break it, wind carries dust into tracks and around old frames. New units are shimmed, insulated and sealed to keep it out.
Standard openings, quicker jobs
Most homes here use standard window sizes, so projects tend to move faster than in older parts of Santa Fe, and lead times are shorter.

What do we need for Rancho Viejo HOA approval on new windows?
Requirements come from your HOA's guidelines, but submittals usually include the window style, frame color and product information. We prepare those details for you and wait for approval before ordering.
Our windows are only about 20 years old. Is it too early to replace them?
Not necessarily. Builder-grade units often lose their seals and hardware within that time, especially in strong sun. If most are fogged or drafty, replacement may make sense; if only a few are, repair may be enough.
Can we upgrade from vinyl to fiberglass in Rancho Viejo?
Yes, as long as the style and color meet the HOA's guidelines. Fiberglass frames are more stable in heat and cold and come in a range of colors.
