Home renovation in Puerto Aventuras
Survey, permits and renovation with one contractor, for owners who live outside Mexico.
Puerto Aventuras is a gated marina community built from the late 1980s, with canal-front villas, golf-side homes and marina condos. Much of it is now thirty years old, and renovation here means modernising houses and condos inside a strict association, next to salt water on every side.
Thirty years of marina salt
Canal and marina homes are surrounded by salt water, and the original specification often included ordinary steel, aluminium and early waterproofing. We survey slabs, columns, docks and seawalls, repair corrosion and replace windows, railings and fittings with marine-grade materials.
Working inside the association
Puerto Aventuras has an association with rules on façades, works hours, access of crews and contractors, and noise near the marina. We submit the scope, register crews and vehicles at the gate and plan noisy work so that neighbours and visiting boats are not disturbed.
Condos and docks
Marina condos often need new kitchens, bathrooms and air conditioning, coordinated with the building’s shared systems. Villas on the canals may need a dock or seawall repair, which carries its own filings; we prepare them alongside the house works.
Realistic budget and programme in Puerto Aventuras
A full renovation in Puerto Aventuras runs at MXN 8,500 to 17,000 per m² renovated (roughly USD 465 – 925/m²). Corrosion repair, marine-grade windows and dock or seawall work push towards the top.
A typical villa or condo takes three to six months. The association’s approval comes first; structural and façade changes need the Solidaridad municipal 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
Do I need the association’s approval to renovate in Puerto Aventuras?
Yes, for most works: the association reviews façades, schedules and contractor access. We prepare and submit the package and register crews at the gate.
Can you repair a dock or seawall in Puerto Aventuras?
Yes, with the filings that apply to waterfront works, coordinated with the house renovation so both are done in one programme.
Do I need a permit to renovate?
Repairs and finishes usually need only a notice or a minor-works permit; structural changes, extensions and façade changes need a municipal licence, and condominiums need the administration’s approval. We confirm which applies before quoting.
What warranty do you give on a renovation?
One year on finishes and installations and five years on structural repairs and waterproofing we execute, with photographs of hidden work and manuals for new equipment.
