How We Rank (Methodology)

We score remodelers on five pillars and update quarterly. Our team discloses affiliations and includes hands-on engineers/designers.

• Build quality (30%) — fit/finish, tolerances, post-delivery issues per project.
• Schedule performance (20%) — milestones hit, variance explained with evidence.
• Coastal suitability (20%) — low-porosity counters, sealed woods, anti-corrosion hardware, ventilation.
• Permit & safety (15%) — documentation, inspections, site protection.
• Client experience (15%) — budget clarity, change-order handling, communication cadence.

Evidence sources: before/after photos, site logs, client feedback, and material specs. We invite third-party verification.

Typical Costs & Timelines

Totals depend on scope, finishes, and moving gas/water/electrical. Recent PV projects show these patterns:

• Kitchens: several weeks including custom carpentry and lighting. Quartz counters + sealed parota fronts are common in PV.
• Bathrooms: faster cycle but sequencing matters (waterproofing → porcelain → ventilation).
• Full-apartment refresh: phased so you can often stay in the unit; timelines extend with built-ins.

For precision, we perform a site visit and provide a line-item proposal with a phase-by-phase schedule.

Permits & Compliance in Puerto Vallarta

Before structural changes or re-layout, coordinate with your building administration and review the city’s current requirements. MSD prepares permit packages, plans site protection, and schedules inspections. Official remodel requirements (Spanish).

How to Choose a Contractor (Checklist)

1. Verify credentials: registration, liability coverage, condo/HOA rules.
2. Demand apples-to-apples bids: same scope, brands, finishes, hardware; request a phasing plan.
3. Check coastal specs: quartz or similar counters, sealed wood (parota), stainless/treated hardware, ventilation.
4. Ask for evidence: renders, site photos, and references for your unit type and budget.
