3-Year Home Maintenance Plan
for San Miguel de Allende Homes
A documented, seasonal plan that stops water and safety risks first, renews vulnerable finishes second, and forecasts replacements before they become emergencies. Managed by an architect, in English.
How the Plan Works
Three Phases. One Clear Process.
Phase 1
Stabilize
Stop active water, safety and corrosion risks.
Phase 2
Preserve
Renew vulnerable finishes, seals and protective systems.
Phase 3
Plan Ahead
Forecast replacements before failures become emergencies.
Why It Matters Here
Why San Miguel Homes Need a Plan
San Miguel is hard on houses. The climate works on every seal, coating and joint all year, and the damage rarely shows until it is expensive.
Intense sun and UV exposure accelerates aging of sealants, coatings and finishes.
Seasonal rain and drainage stress can quickly expose weak joints and penetrations.
Dry-season dust and daily temperature swings cause mechanical wear and movement.
Hard water and mineral scale add extra wear to plumbing and fixtures.
Moisture diagnosis before cosmetic repairs prevents hidden damage and costly redo work.
Immediate Priorities
The First 90 Days
Every plan starts with a baseline visit. We find what is active, document what exists, and stop water before anything cosmetic.
Roofs, terraces and drains
Inspect, photograph and clear drainage paths.
Glass and metal frames
Inspect seals, frames, anchors and hardware.
Moisture and active leaks
Find sources, map affected areas and stop water entry.
Plumbing, cisterns and pumps
Check for leaks, pump operation and proper function.
Safety walk
Check railings, glass, electrical, gas and trip hazards.
Documentation baseline
Photograph, record and create a home systems inventory.

Questions
Maintenance Plan FAQ
What does the 90-day baseline visit include?
Gustavo and the team walk the whole property: roof, terraces and drains, glass and metal frames, plumbing, cisterns and pumps, and a full safety walk. Everything is photographed and logged into a home systems inventory. You receive a written report in English with priorities, so the plan starts from facts, not guesses.
Is a maintenance plan worth it for a newer home?
Yes. Sun, rain and hard water in San Miguel age sealants, coatings and fixtures faster than most owners expect, regardless of the home's age. On a newer home the plan is mostly prevention, which is far cheaper than the water damage a missed seal causes.
How often do you visit?
The rhythm follows the seasons: a post-rain verification in the fall, a repair window in the dry months, pre-rain preparation in spring, and monitoring during the rainy season. Most homes see us at least twice a year, plus any repairs the plan calls for.
Can you look after my home while I am away?
Yes. Many of our clients live in San Miguel part of the year. The plan includes seasonal checks whether you are here or not, and you receive photos and a short report after every visit.
Who does the work?
Our own team, coordinated by Architect Gustavo Jiménez. Plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, painters and waterproofing crews all work under one plan and one point of contact, in English.
How do I get started?
