Home renovation in Aldea Zamá
Survey, permits and renovation with one contractor, for owners who live outside Mexico.
Aldea Zamá filled with condo buildings and villas between 2016 and 2022, most of them run as rentals. A few seasons later, many show the same problems — leaks, humidity, tired finishes — and owners renovate to fix defects and keep their ratings in a competitive rental market.
Defects from fast construction
Leaking terraces and roof pools, water entering at window frames, cracked polished cement and air conditioning undersized for the units are typical. We test and trace each problem before quoting, so the repair fixes the cause and comes with a warranty.
Keeping rental ratings
In Aldea Zamá, a unit competes with dozens of similar ones. We upgrade kitchens, bathrooms, lighting and outdoor areas with durable materials, and plan works between bookings so the unit comes back better rather than later.
Condominium and development rules
Works happen inside both the condominium’s rules and the development’s rulebook, with hours, access and approvals for anything visible outside. We prepare both submissions and coordinate with the administration on shared roofs, pools and systems.
Realistic budget and programme in Aldea Zamá
A full condo or villa renovation in Aldea Zamá runs at MXN 8,000 to 16,000 per m² renovated (roughly USD 435 – 870/m²); defect repairs such as terrace waterproofing are priced item by item.
A typical unit takes one to four months, planned around bookings. Administration and development approvals come first; structural or façade changes need the Tulum licence.
What we renovate: from a survey to a finished house
Every renovation starts with a survey of what is there: structure, rebar corrosion, slabs, waterproofing, installations and windows. We report what must be fixed, what should be upgraded and what can stay, with a line-item budget for each, before anything is demolished.
We then handle the whole job: permits or condominium approvals, demolition, structural repairs, waterproofing, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning, kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, pools and finishes. One contract, one site manager, and a programme that tells you when each room is back in use.
Renovating while you are abroad
Most of our renovation clients are not in Mexico during the works. You receive a weekly report with dated photographs, a video call from site when decisions are needed, and a live budget where every change is priced and signed before it is executed.
If the house is rented, we phase the work to protect bookings where possible, and we hand over with photographs of hidden work, warranties and manuals, so the next guest or tenant finds a house that works.

Frequently asked questions
My Aldea Zamá condo leaks on the terrace. Can you fix it for good?
Yes, by finding the cause — slopes, details at drains and walls, the waterproofing system — and rebuilding it as one system with a written warranty, not just sealing the crack.
Can you renovate my rental unit without losing bookings?
We plan the scope for the low season and phase it so the unit is out of rental as briefly as possible.
