Send these with your repair request
- Property ZIP and whether it is inside Albuquerque city limits
- One wide photo of each affected wall and one close-up of the damage
- Approximate repair dimensions, wall height and access limits
- Whether you want patching only, texture matching or repainting
- Any previous repair record and the dates you can allow an assessment
Two checks for an Albuquerque property
Start with the property address and the proposed repair area. A small patch and a full exterior re-stucco are different scopes; ask the authority about your actual project.
- City of Albuquerque building permits
Use the city's permit information to ask whether the proposed work needs approval. If the property is outside city jurisdiction, check with its own permitting authority.
- New Mexico Construction Industries Division
Follow the state's license-verification guidance. Compare the contractor name and license details with the business named on the written estimate.
Compare the same repair, not just the total
Open a topic for the question to ask and what to compare.
Repair boundary
Ask: Which walls and damaged areas are included?
A patch-only price cannot be compared directly with a full-wall finish.
Preparation
Ask: What loose material is removed, and what needs an on-site assessment?
Record which findings can change the scope and who approves extra work.
Texture and color
Ask: Is the finish limited to the patch or continued across a larger area?
Ask for a sample and written finish expectations; matching is not a guarantee of an invisible repair.
Access and cleanup
Ask: Are access equipment, protection and cleanup included?
Keep exclusions beside the price so a lower total does not hide a smaller scope.
Handover
Ask: What written scope and actual warranty terms will I receive?
Save the accepted proposal and reference photos before work starts.
