House Painting in Chetumal: facades, interiors, metal and wood

We paint houses, condos and hotels in Chetumal with the preparation the climate demands: washing, crack repair, primer and two coats of tropical-grade products. Chetumal sits on a bay, so salt is milder than on the open coast, but heat and humidity are high and the city has been hit by hurricanes.

Our Painting Services

Exterior Facades

Elastomeric and high-acrylic paints that bridge hairline cracks and keep rain out of the block.

Metal Protection

Rust removal, anti-corrosive primer and marine enamel for railings, gates, pergolas and doors.

Wood Finishes

Stains, varnishes and oils for doors, decks, palapas and pergolas, with UV protection.

Why paint fails in Chetumal

Chetumal is the state capital, with a large stock of family homes, government and commercial buildings, where demand is for practical renovations, bathrooms, floors, paint and maintenance contracts. We choose elastomeric facades, anti-mould interiors and marine enamels on metal according to this exposure.

Who we paint for in Chetumal

Most properties are owner-occupied or long-term rentals, so works are scheduled with occupants. Each job is planned for the type of building, from a single villa to a condo block painted by sections.

Materials, crews and access in Chetumal

Chetumal is about four hours from our workshops but has good local suppliers, so materials are bought locally and labour costs are lower than in the north.

Rules, licences and administration in Chetumal

Licences come from Othón P. Blanco municipality with established procedures; condominium and commercial buildings add their own administration rules.

Water supply in Chetumal

The municipal network covers most of the city, with hard water that makes filters and softeners useful in bathrooms and kitchens.
