Your peace of mind is our priority.

  • Do you offer Thermal Imaging?

    Yes! Thermal imaging allows us to detect hidden issues not visible to the naked eye.   We scan your foundation and all ceilings to locate active leakage, included with all inspections.  This technology enhances our inspections, giving you a clearer picture of your home’s condition.


    This service is included with all inspections.

  • Do you offer any special promotions?

    Opting for multiple inspections not only saves you money but also provides a comprehensive overview of your properties. Ask us about our special promotions.


    When booking your PDI and Tarion Initail, MidYear or Year End form inspections together save $100.00.

  • What tools do you use?

    We utilize a variety of specialty tools to ensure a thorough inspection. Our commitment to using the best technology means you receive the most accurate assessment possible.

  • How much are your inspections?

    For a condominium to 1200 sf the cost is $ 370.00 plus HST.   All other inspections start at $ 470.00 plus HST.

  • How fast will I get my property Inspection report?

    On site, verbally, I will outline any major issues I have found.   The report will be in a web-enabled PDF format (sample inspection report).   


    Typically, the report will be sent to you within 24 hours.   Reports containing major issues needing more explanation may take longer.

  • What is your service area?

    We travel up to an hour outside Barrie in any direction, with a travel and traffic congestion fees added if applicable (I’ll tell you if this is applicable when you book).

  • Are you Certified & Insured?

    Certification of Home Inspectors in Ontario is not yet a reality.   We are required to abide by Standards of Practice.   We are always fully insured as well.

  • Can I bring my family?

    This is discouraged as this is technical inspection and the fewer distractions, the better (I don’t want to miss anything).

  • How long will my inspection take?

    An inspection typically takes an hour and a half to two hours to complete.

  • Will you tell me to buy the house?

    Absolutely not.   This a conversation between you and your real estate agent.    I will present my findings to you.

  • Do you offer a warranty or insurance on the house?

    A home inspection is a professional opinion based on less-than-complete information. It's a little like getting a check-up from your doctor. It improves your odds of good health but there is no guarantee or warranty. 


    Some problems can only be discovered by living in a house; they cannot be discovered during a home inspection. 


    For example, some shower stalls leak when people use the shower but don't leak when you simply turn on the shower. Some roofs and basements only leak when specific weather conditions exist. Some problems will only be discovered when carpets are lifted, furniture is moved or finishes are removed. 


    As such, we cannot and do not offer a warranty on the house. Home warranty programs are available from others. 

  • What kind of notice do you require in advance of my home inspection?

    We know that buying a home can come with tight deadlines.   We would appreciate at least 24 hours notice, though we can accommodate less notice.

  • Do you offer Thermal Imaging?

    Yes! Thermal imaging allows us to detect hidden issues not visible to the naked eye.   We scan your foundation and all ceilings to locate active leakage, included with all inspections.  This technology enhances our inspections, giving you a clearer picture of your home’s condition.
