Construction and remodeling in Barranco
If you own or rent out property in Barranco and do not speak Spanish, hiring a builder is the part that usually goes wrong. We quote in writing, itemize every line, photograph every stage and hand over a written warranty. Our crews work in Spanish on site, and everything you need to understand comes to you in English, in writing.

What owners in Barranco ask us for
Barranco is where a lot of people who did not grow up in Lima end up. Old republican houses, apartments rented by the week, a cafe or a small hotel, all a few blocks from the ocean.
Almost none of it is new construction. The job here is nearly always to work on something that already exists, and to do it without destroying the thing that made you buy the place.
-
01
Old house renovation, done carefully
Adobe, quincha and timber structures have to be read before they are opened. We evaluate first, then tell you what should stay, what needs reinforcing and what is safe to replace.
-
02
Damp and sea salt
Stained walls, blistered paint, rusting steel. We find where the water is actually coming from before we patch and repaint, so it does not come back next winter.
-
03
Rental and Airbnb turnarounds
Painting, plumbing, locks and finish repairs scheduled in the gap between guests, with a photo report you can check from anywhere in the world.
-
04
Restaurants, bars and boutique retail
Fit-out and maintenance for hospitality, worked around service hours so you do not lose a night of trading. Electronic invoicing included.
How we keep you from being overcharged
The complaint we hear most from foreign owners in Lima is not bad work. It is a price that arrived as a single number, changed halfway through, and could never be checked. Here is how we take that off the table.
An itemized quote, not a number
Every quote is broken into line items with materials, labor and quantities. If you want to compare it against another builder, or against what you would pay at home, you can do it line by line.
The price only moves if the scope moves
Extra cost happens when you ask for something new, or when we open a wall and find a real problem. Either way you get it in writing and approve it before we continue. Never as a surprise on the final invoice.
Photos of the parts that get covered up
Wiring, pipework, waterproofing and structure are photographed before they disappear behind a wall or under a floor. You keep that record, and so do we.
A written warranty at handover
You receive a written warranty when we hand the work over. If something we did fails within that period, we come back and fix it. That is the whole point of hiring a company instead of a crew.
We are based in Miraflores, a short drive from Barranco, and we work across Lima. Site visits are free and there is no obligation to hire us after one.

Questions we get from owners in Barranco
01Can you really handle the whole job in English?
Yes. The site visit notes, the itemized quote, the progress updates and the handover report can all be in English, over WhatsApp or email. On site the crew works in Spanish, so everything is agreed in writing before work starts and you keep one point of contact who answers your questions in English while the job runs. If a decision comes up mid job, you get it in writing with photos, not a phone call you cannot follow.
02My house is in the Barranco monumental zone. What does that mean for my project?
Part of Barranco is a designated monumental zone, which mainly affects facades and anything visible from the street. We split your project in two: interior work, which normally moves ahead, and anything touching the facade or protected elements, which has to be checked with the Municipality of Barranco before it is touched. We tell you which side each line of your quote falls on. We do not file permits on your behalf and we will not promise you municipal timelines, because those are not ours to control.
03I do not live in Peru. How do we manage the work remotely?
Everything runs over WhatsApp. You send photos or a video of the space, we send back an itemized written quote, and we coordinate access with whoever holds the keys: your building administrator, the doorman, or someone you trust. You get progress photos as the work happens, including the parts that get covered up, and a summary of what was done at handover. If the apartment is on short term rental we schedule the work in the gap between bookings so you do not lose nights.
