Frequently asked questions
How much does home maintenance cost in Santa Teresa?
Repairs are ₡16,000–₡20,500$35–$45 per hour with a 2-hour minimum per visit. A typical monthly plan for a house with a small garden, a standard pool and 3 A/C units is about ₡127,000–₡166,000$280–$365/month including a 10% bundle discount. Every price is on our pricing page and the instant estimator shows yours in under a minute.
Which areas do you cover?

Can you look after my house while I live abroad?
Yes — that's what our home care plan is for. We inspect every one or two weeks, send a photo report on WhatsApp, check after storms, prepare the house before you arrive and fix what we find at published prices.
How accurate is the online estimate?
It's built from the same price list we quote from, so most jobs land inside the range. We confirm the final price in writing — after photos or a quick visit — before any work starts. Materials are billed at cost with receipts.
Do you build new houses?
Yes, and renovations. Our build estimator shows cost per m² by finish level, slope, pool and solar before you talk to anyone. As Costa Rican law requires, every project's plans are signed by CFIA-registered architects and engineers and permitted through the Concejo Municipal de Distrito de Cóbano.
Do you speak English?
Yes. Quotes, updates and photo reports are in English or Spanish, whichever you prefer.
