Frequently asked questions.
I am excited to have you repair my home. Am I eligible?
Mesa to Mesa needs proof of a few things in order to qualify you for home repair:
Do you own your home?
If you rent your home, repairs are your landlord’s responsibility. To prove that you own your home, we ask for a copy of a property tax statement.
Is your income below the federal poverty rate?
A chart of the federal poverty rates can be found on our application.
Do you live within 20 miles of Espanola?
Mesa to Mesa focuses on helping our neighbors in northern New Mexico.
Can you pass a background check?
For the safety of our contractors and volunteers, homeowners are subject to a background check for sexual predator and criminal status.
Are you willing to help with the repair process?
Under guidance of a contractor, we love working with volunteers—including you!
What types of repairs does Mesa to Mesa make?
Many of our repairs are aimed at keeping people safe in their own home. Some of our most common jobs include repairing or replacing windows, screens, doors, locks, plumbing, steps, smoke detectors, lights, gutters, grab bars, along with other simple jobs. We also patch stucco, siding, and concrete. We do not repair roofs.
Are licensed contractors used for these repairs?
Yes. If you know of someone who is a licensed contractor or who is in training to become a contractor, we would love to work with them! See our contractor’s page for information.
