We build drywall partitions, false ceilings and lighting coves in Bacalar with moisture-resistant boards and galvanised framing made for the coast. Bacalar has lagoon-front houses, boutique hotels and eco-cabins along the Laguna de los Siete Colores, plus village homes in town, with demand for bathrooms, decks, gardens and maintenance.
Recessed coves and slots for indirect LED lighting, curtains and blinds.
Green board and cement board for bathrooms, kitchens, terraces and soffits.
Mineral fibre and perforated boards for offices, restaurants and home cinemas.
There is no sea salt, but the lagoon keeps humidity high and the sun is strong, so wood, decks and paint need UV and moisture protection. It is the fastest way to add rooms, hide AC ducts and build ceiling details in this kind of property.
Licences come from Bacalar municipality, and the lagoon shore is protected, so works near the water, landscaping and wastewater must respect environmental rules. Board type, framing and ventilation are chosen for this humidity so ceilings do not sag or stain.
Tourism peaks on holidays and weekends, so hotels schedule works in quieter weeks.
Water is from the municipal system or wells, and wastewater must never reach the lagoon, which affects every bathroom and kitchen project.
Bacalar is about three and a half hours from our workshops; we plan stays on site and buy many materials in Chetumal, which keeps costs close to the southern average.
