Home and Villa Maintenance in Playa del Carmen: One Team for Every Repair
Salt, sun and humidity attack a house every day: rust on railings, leaks on the roof, mould in closets, AC units that drip and pumps that fail the day guests arrive. Instead of calling a different handyman for each problem, you get one maintenance team with electricians, plumbers, painters and carpenters, scheduled preventive visits and a photo report after each one, ideal for owners who live abroad or rent their property.
What Our Maintenance Covers
Repairs & Handyman
Doors, locks, fixtures, sealant, small carpentry and everything that wears out.
Plumbing & Leaks
Leaks, pressure pumps, water heaters, cisterns, filters and softeners.
Electrical
Breakers, lighting, outlets, surge protection and generator testing.
Air Conditioning
Cleaning and service of minisplits, drain lines and gas checks before the hot season.
Roof & Facade
Waterproofing inspection, crack repair, paint touch-ups and rust treatment.
Hurricane Preparation
Shutters, securing furniture and palms, clearing drains and checking backup power.
Preventive maintenance costs less than repairs
Most expensive repairs on the coast start small: a cracked roof membrane that becomes a ceiling stain, a rust spot that becomes a broken railing, a clogged AC drain that becomes a mould problem. A monthly or quarterly visit catches these early. We follow a checklist for each property, record the condition with photos and send you a report with what we fixed and what needs a decision.
For owners abroad and rental properties
- Scheduled visits with a written checklist and photo report.
- Turnovers between guests: quick fixes, bulbs, filters, touch-ups.
- Emergency response for leaks, power failures and storm damage.
- Annual plan for repainting, waterproofing and equipment replacement, so costs are predictable.
