Why Renovation in the Tropics Is Different
The Riviera Maya climate destroys standard materials. We use:
- Marine-grade waterproofing — not the cheap stuff that peels in 2 years
- Tropical hardwoods — tzalam, machiche, parota — naturally resistant to humidity and termites
- Stainless steel hardware — regular steel rusts within months near the coast
- Chukum plaster — the traditional Mayan waterproof coating, beautiful and functional
- Drainage engineering — heavy tropical rains require proper slope and drainage planning
Renovation for Airbnb Owners
We've renovated dozens of properties specifically to maximize Airbnb rental income:
- Pool — significantly increases your nightly rate and occupancy
- Rooftop terrace — one of the highest-impact upgrades for vacation rentals
- Instagram-worthy finishes (chukum, tropical wood) increase bookings by 30–50%
- Professional photos of renovated space = more clicks, more bookings

What a renovation here actually involves
Almost every renovation on this coast uncovers the same three things: waterproofing at the end of its life, electrical work without a proper earth, and damp that was painted over rather than diagnosed. A renovation that only addresses surfaces leaves all three in place and looks excellent for about eighteen months. We survey first and price the causes, which sometimes makes our quote look higher than one that intends to paint over them.
Sequence, and why it matters
Survey and diagnosis; demolition with protection of what stays; structural and waterproofing corrections; services renewed while walls are open; then finishes; then fittings; then the punch list. Reordering that sequence to get a visible result sooner is the most common cause of work being done twice. Where the property is occupied or rented, we phase it so one area stays usable.
Living in it, renting it, or away for it
Occupied renovations need dust control, a working bathroom and kitchen at all times, and predictable working hours. Rental properties need the work compressed into the low season with a hard finish date. Absentee owners get weekly dated photo reports and written approval for every change, which is how most of our renovation clients work.
