About New Mexico's Painting Specialists

Eddie Gaxiola and Mandi Loudenback founded New Mexico's Painting Specialists in 2022, building on a family painting legacy spanning three generations. Eddie learned the trade from his stepdad Gilbert Gaxiola, a master craftsman with over 60 years of experience who still contributes to select projects. The Albuquerque-based team includes lead painters Chris Gaudette and Oscar Palacios, crew leader Christian Sanchez, concrete coating specialist Nick Gaudette, and apprentices Riley Keene, Mekhi Aragon, and Alex Aragon.

The company handles residential and commercial painting throughout the entire state of New Mexico, with particular expertise in Southwest architectural elements. Projects range from single-room refreshes to complete commercial transformations, including specialty work on stucco, vigas, latillas, corbels, and canales. Nick Gaudette leads a dedicated concrete coating division offering epoxy floor systems for garages and commercial spaces.

The team operates exclusively with W2 employees and uses no subcontractors. They won Albuquerque The Magazine's "Best of the City" recognition in 2022, 2023, and 2024. New Mexico's Painting Specialists serves all cities statewide from their Albuquerque headquarters.
