The company was founded by Ricardo Mendez, who was introduced to the trades by his father Inocencio Mendez, known as Chencho. Chencho's own company began in the 1950s, and Ricardo started working alongside construction crews as a teenager. By age 20 he was managing that family business, Mendez Contractors, and in 1983, at 23, he married and established El Paso Drywall & Paint with the help of his compadre George Montelongo. His daughter Andrea, nicknamed Ricarda, later joined the business. The company has now been operating for 34 years, working with general contractors, property management companies, and business owners. Mr. Mendez is known for his friendly approach on job sites and his meticulous attention to detail. The business does not take on government or public sector work or large corporate construction projects, focusing instead on smaller-scale residential and tenant projects.

The office sits on Trinidad Drive, about a tenth of a mile from Eastwood Library and Eastwood High School, roughly a fifth of a mile from Trooper Stadium and El Paso Fire Station 19, and around a third of a mile from Montwood Drive.

Customers have described the work as professional and hard to find elsewhere, noting Ricardo's honesty and the quality of repairs on jobs such as water damage restoration.
