Villa Renovation in the Puerto Cancún Canal Villas: from refresh to full repositioning
The first canal villas are being repositioned to current ultra-luxury standards: new glazing towards the water, bigger terraces, updated MEP and a rebuilt dock. We renovate villas on the golf course and the canals of Puerto Cancún: from a cosmetic refresh before the season to a complete repositioning with new envelope, MEP, kitchens, baths, glazing and pool.
What we do
Cosmetic refresh
Paint, floors, lighting, fixtures and carpentry updated without touching the structure.
Full interior
Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, doors, A/C and electrical rebuilt room by room.
Complete repositioning
Layout changes, new facades, impact glazing and terraces for resale or premium rental.
Waterproofing and envelope
Roof membranes, sealants and facade repairs against salt and storms.
Pool and terraces
Pool resurfacing, equipment, decks, pergolas and outdoor kitchens.
MEP and smart home
New wiring, panels, efficient A/C, water treatment and home automation.
Villa Renovation in the Puerto Cancún Canal Villas
The first canal villas are being repositioned to current ultra-luxury standards: new glazing towards the water, bigger terraces, updated MEP and a rebuilt dock.
Ultra-luxury villas built in the last decade and lots still waiting for construction. Typical projects are new villas from scratch, docks, pools and complete repositioning of the first villas built here.
The setting: Navigable canals, private docks
Water on one side means seawall and dock detailing, deep foundations on fill, waterproofing below the water table and marine-grade metalwork everywhere outdoors.
What a Puerto Cancún villa usually needs
Many villas here were built in the 2010s with good structure but finishes, glazing and A/C that now look dated next to new towers. Salt air attacks aluminium, metal and sealants, so a renovation usually combines a design update with envelope work that protects the investment for the next decade.
Renovating without losing the season
We phase the works around rentals and your visits, keep the site clean and secured inside the community, and close noisy stages within the allowed working hours.
Rules in this sector
The association's architectural review, the municipal licence with DRO and the master plan's marine guidelines for docks and seawalls; crews and trucks are scheduled with security. Exterior changes (facade, colours, terraces, pool) normally need the community's architectural approval and a municipal licence with DRO; interior works need notice to security and registered crews.
Managed for owners who live abroad
You get one English-speaking project manager and one WhatsApp group, a weekly photo and video report, a live budget and payments by milestone after each stage is checked; most owners only fly in for handover.
