About Us

Who We Are

Bay Area Carpenters

Carpinteros de la Bahía was born out of the belief that a well-crafted piece of furniture can transform the way you experience your home. Founded by José de Jesús López Chávez, a native of Puerto Vallarta, what began as a small workshop has become a leading name in artisanal woodworking in Banderas Bay.

For over ten years, we have blended the techniques inherited from traditional Mexican carpentry with the demands of contemporary design. Today, our workshop in Valle Dorado serves clients ranging from private residences to large-scale hotel projects—such as the lobby of Grupo Vidanta’s new hotel—always working piece by piece, because true luxury is not mass-produced.

Our Values

Our mission is to raise the standard of handcrafted work. We are dedicated to the design and manufacture of high-end furniture, always prioritizing technical quality and sustainability. We firmly believe that true Mexican artisanal woodworking must be responsible; that is why we select wood from certified sources and use processes that minimize environmental impact, ensuring that every piece is as kind to the planet as it is to your home.

The heart of our workshop lies in a team of expert cabinetmakers who share a clear vision:

  • A passion for  wood: We respect every natural grain and texture.
  • Attention to detail: We strive for perfection in every assembly and finish.
  • Local commitment: We strengthen the region’s economy through a commitment to quality and responsibility.
Benefits

Unique finishes

We respect the original construction techniques, using stains and waxes that enhance the wood’s natural patina, ensuring that the piece regains its aesthetic and structural value.
