Pre-Purchase (Buyers)
|
Purchasing a home is usually the most expensive purchase most of us make in our lifetime and Buyers want to enter this process with eyes wide open. A detailed and thorough inspection by a qualified professional home inspector using specialized tools provides Peace of Mind in a stressful time.

New Construction
|
Most buyers assume a brand-new home won’t have any issues but this is usually not the case. Our professional home inspectors provide a detailed inspection on new builds and note issues that aren’t often picked up by the untrained eye.
Ideally you should have two inspections on a new build: one pre-drywall inspection before they close the walls up and one shortly before your final walk-through. This provides you with the opportunity to have the builder address items discovered before you take ownership. |
Pre-Listing (Sellers)
|
We inspect the property and prepare a report allowing you to make repairs and attach receipts or shop for competitive contractors and attach quotes which both help to prevent 11th hour negotiations or justify your asking price if no issues exist. A clean inspection report on the table during viewing is a great marketing tool.

Expiring Home Warranty |
Homes built by licensed residential builders are usually covered under warranty against defects in workmanship and materials…but only for a specific period of time. Unfortunately, problems often do not become evident to the homeowner until after the warranty has expired, leaving the homeowner to cover cost of repair. An Expiring Home Warranty Inspection can help you detect these problems before they become Your problem.
|
Condominium
|
Although some of the future maintenance and repairs are handled by the condo association and included in condo fees, not all are. It is important to review the covenants to be aware of who is responsible for what, because just like a detached home, a Condo can have current or developing problems that become your financial responsibility on closing. A Canadian Residential Condo Inspection looks to identify issues to help you avoid costly repairs down the road or even renegotiate the purchase price.
|
Home Maintenance Inspection |
Homes that are not properly maintained usually decrease in value. A Canadian Residential Home Inspection is like a health checkup for your home, we look at thousands of items to help identify those that require immediate attention vs. what you can add to a future 'to-do list'. This type of inspection is also great for those looking to sell their homes in the near future to help avoid surprises during the sale process. Keep little problems from becoming big problems.
