Arne Kluge – Integrity Home Inspection Services……..from Ontario, Canada!
Hello and buenos dias amigas y amigos. I’m Arne, your InterNACHI Certified Guanacaste Home Inspector! I now provide certified, professional Home Inspection services in Nosara and surrounding areas in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica!
With a technical background (tool & die maker, many advanced courses in house design & construction, building technology and decades of Home Inspection experience, defect recognition, many of my own home renovations, even teaching/training Home Inspectors across Canada in the mid 2000s), I have decided to expand my Inspection services in Costa Rica! If you are considering buying, selling or building a home in this coastal paradise, make sure to get it properly inspected for your piece of mind. After all, Costa Rica is a Central American country and even though it is a tropical paradise, there are lots of things to watch out for when purchasing a new home, an old house or having one custom built. I can help you by showing you a totally unbiased & detailed review of the current condition of the dwelling before you put it up for sale, before you spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy or before you release your builder of their responsibilities.

1. Type of Property: Specify if the property is a house, condo, townhouse, etc. and any other structures you need inspected.

3. Location: Include the property address, a map pin would be good if able.
