Steel Canopies, Arcotechos and Roofs in Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen’s roofs are as varied as the town: arcotechos over schools and courts in the colonias, parking canopies for condos in Playacar and the north side, roofs over terraces and rooftop bars in the centre, and workshops and storage yards on the west side. We fabricate in our Playa workshop and design every roof for hurricane uplift.
Playa Roofs We Build
Schools & Courts
Arcotechos and steel roofs for school patios and sports courts in Playa's colonias.

Canopies for condos in Playacar, Selvamar and the north side, ready for solar.
Terraces & Rooftops
Roofs and pergolas over rooftop bars and terraces in the centre, with hidden gutters.
Workshops & Yards
Clear-span roofs on the west side and along the 307.
Restaurant Terraces
Covered terraces that extend seating while respecting street and facade rules.
Uplift Engineering
Full load path from sheeting to foundation for open-exposure sites.
Rooftops in the centre
Many Playa buildings sell their rooftop: bars, pools, lounges. Covering part of it adds usable space year-round, but rooftops are the most wind-exposed place in town. We check the existing slab, design anchorage into the structure without damaging waterproofing, and choose sheeting, louvres or panels rated for uplift, with drainage that keeps water off the terrace.
Fast, local, low disruption
Because we fabricate in Playa, roofs are made to measure and delivered quickly. For schools we work in holidays; for condos we coordinate with the administration; for terraces on busy streets we lift early in the morning in small sections.
