Frequently Asked Questions

Covered parking protects vehicles from: intense UV (destroys paint and interiors in 2–3 years), tropical rain (daily in summer), hurricane debris, and theft. A carport costs $60,000–$150,000 MXN. Full garage: $150,000–$400,000. Worth the investment for any vehicle owner.

Covered parking adds 5–10% to property value. Enclosed garage: 8–15%. In gated communities where parking is limited, a garage can add $500,000–$1,500,000 MXN to resale value. Also critical for Airbnb guests — 'secure parking' is a top search filter.

Single car: minimum 3×6m (18m²). Double: 6×6m (36m²). Add 1m on each side for door opening. If planning EV charging: add dedicated 240V circuit. Golf cart parking (common in gated communities): 2×4m. Motorcycle: 1.5×2.5m.

Polycarbonate sheets: $800–$1,500/m², lets light through, 15-year UV warranty. Metal roof (galvanized steel): $600–$1,200/m², opaque, 20+ years. Concrete slab (if building above): $2,500–$4,000/m², doubles as terrace/second floor. Green roof: $3,000–$5,000/m².

Carport (covered, open sides): $60,000–$150,000 MXN, quick to build, adequate for most needs. Garage (enclosed): $150,000–$400,000, better security, can double as storage. In gated communities: carport is usually sufficient. Outside gated: enclosed garage recommended for security.
