House Painting in Tulum: facades, interiors, metal and wood
We paint houses, condos and hotels in Tulum with the preparation the climate demands: washing, crack repair, primer and two coats of tropical-grade products. Most of Tulum is jungle: humidity, shade and mould are the main enemies inland, while the hotel zone on the beach adds salt and wind, so finishes must be chosen for each location.
Our Painting Services
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.
Surface Preparation
Pressure washing, scraping, crack and plaster repair, sealer: the part that decides how long paint lasts.
Why paint fails in Tulum
Tulum has condos and villas in Aldea Zamá, La Veleta and Región 15, beach hotels and eco-chic houses with chukum, wood and palapa, many of them rentals that need frequent refreshes and serious maintenance. We choose elastomeric facades, anti-mould interiors and marine enamels on metal according to this exposure.
Who we paint for in Tulum
Tulum is rental-driven, so owners want work done between bookings and finishes that survive heavy guest use. Each job is planned for the type of building, from a single villa to a condo block painted by sections.
Rules, licences and administration in Tulum
Licences come from Tulum municipality, and many projects also need SEMA approval for exterior and landscape works; condo developments add HOA rules and approved work hours.
Water supply in Tulum
Many areas still lack reliable municipal supply and use wells, pipes and cisterns, with hard water that scales fittings, so filtration and storage are part of most projects.
Materials, crews and access in Tulum
Tulum is about one hour from our workshops; we keep crews on site for full days and source plants and many materials locally to save trips.
