New Mexico experiences an arid to semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers in the south and cold, snowy winters in the northern high country around Santa Fe and Taos. Monsoon rains from July through September concentrate most water-intrusion risk into a short window, and high UV and temperature swings drive material selection for roofing, sealants, and exterior finishes. For fence repair projects specifically, this means timing and material selection are key factors in both cost and quality.
Less regulatory burden and simpler permitting processes help keep overall project costs down.
