Pool ServiceWeekly maintenance, chemical balancing, pump and filter repair, and bringing a green pool back. Desert heat and blowing dust make regular service close to essential.1 vetted Air Conditioning / HVACInstallation, repair, and seasonal servicing for mini splits and central systems. Book maintenance before summer — everyone calls at once when the first heat wave lands.1 vetted HandymanThe jobs that do not need a specialist: mounting and hanging, patching, door and window fixes, assembly, and the list that builds up between bigger projects.1 vetted Auto MechanicGeneral repair, brakes, suspension, cooling systems, and inspections before the drive north.

Everywhere else, from Google

Home CleaningRegular housekeeping, deep cleans, and turnovers between guests. Most households here book weekly or biweekly, and rates are usually quoted by the visit rather than by the hour.via Google PlumbingLeaks, blocked drains, water heaters, pressure problems, and repiping. Hard water is common here and it wears out fixtures and heaters faster than people expect.via Google ElectricalResidential wiring, panels and breakers, outlets, lighting, and solar-related work. Older homes and campo properties often need bringing up to standard.via Google PaintingInterior and exterior painting, stucco repair, and refinishing. Sun and salt air are hard on exteriors here, so outside coats need renewing more often than inland.via Google LandscapingDesert planting, irrigation, palm trimming, gravel and hardscape, and keeping a yard alive through summer without pouring water into the ground.

Pest ControlScorpions, ants, roaches, termites, and rodents. Treating around the foundation for scorpions is routine here, especially through the warmer months.via Google

InsuranceMexican auto policies, home coverage, and liability. A US auto policy does not cover you here, which makes this one of the first things to sort out after arriving.via Google

Real EstateBuying, selling, and renting in San Felipe, including how a fideicomiso works in the coastal zone. Ask about title and closing before committing to anything.via Google

Legal / NotaryNotaries, property transactions, wills, immigration paperwork, and contracts. A Mexican notario is a specialised lawyer, not the same role as a notary in the US.via Google

Pet / VeterinaryVets, vaccinations, grooming, and boarding. Ask about the paperwork you need before taking an animal across the border in either direction.via Google

Computer / Tech HelpComputer and phone repair, internet and wifi setup, printers, and getting a satellite connection working properly.via Google
