Santa Fe Doors in Albuquerque: Style, Security, and Smart Pricing

Santa Fe-inspired doors, featuring warm wood grains, bold iron accents, and hand-crafted details, are a hallmark of Albuquerque residences. These doors blend Southwestern character with modern performance, but budgeting can be challenging. Costs for an eight-foot knotty alder entry, including hardware, finish, labor, and permits, can range from $1,000 to $12,000. CountBricks offers AI-driven estimates tailored to local construction needs, eliminating guesswork.

What Defines a 'Santa Fe Door'?

Solid wood species such as alder, fir, or reclaimed pine
Decorative clavos, strap hinges, and speakeasy grilles
Arched or viga-inspired stiles echoing Pueblo Revival architecture
