New Mexico's dry climate and sunny skies mean that, generally, you won't face major weather delays for most bathroom remodel projects. However, the unique adobe and older construction styles common in many homes, especially those with historical charm, can sometimes present unexpected challenges once walls are opened. It's wise to partner with remodelers experienced in working with these traditional materials. When it comes to permits, while not overly complex statewide, local building departments in areas like Albuquerque will have specific requirements. Always confirm with your chosen contractor about the permitting process to ensure a smooth renovation.
