What we do not do

• Do not publish fake reviews or fabricated contractor profiles.
• Do not claim NM CID licenses we do not hold — we are a referral directory.
• Do not perform stucco, plaster, or adobe work — work is by independent NM CID-licensed contractors.
• Do not provide historic-district preservation determinations. Historic Design Review Board and NM Historic Preservation Division requirements vary across municipalities and districts; always defer to the authority with jurisdiction over your property.
