Custom design, renovation, and construction — all managed by Architect Gustavo Jiménez. From concept to completion, we bring your vision to life while honoring San Miguel's colonial character.
Your Architect
Every Project, Architect-Managed
Unlike most contractors in San Miguel, every project at SMA Home Services is personally managed by Architect Gustavo Jiménez — from the first concept sketch to the final walk-through. This means professional oversight, clear communication in English, and a level of quality control that's rare in the region.
Gustavo coordinates a team of master artisans — blacksmiths, carpenters, muralists, cantera specialists, and more — each one personally vetted and trusted through years of collaboration.

I purchased my home in San Miguel and Gustavo completed a home inspection and assessment so I could make an offer that was fair to me and fair to the seller. After purchasing the home Gustavo developed a work plan to complete all the renovations. The project was on-time, on-budget and exceeded my expectations.
