Home Inspection

Working with Yuri was a pleasure. He was detailed and organized throughout the entire process. From the first phone call to our final details, he was professional, courteous, and punctual. Yuri conducted an inspection for our home and gave us very helpful feedback on the main issues that should be addressed and how to deal with them. At the end of the inspection, he took the necessary time to properly explain various situations in a very understandable way. I would use Yuri again in a moment.

Thank you very much Navin. It was a pleasure to meet you and conduct a pre-listing inspection for your house. I'm sure if you take care of minor issues that were identified in your report the house will be sold for a top dollar. All the best to you and thank you for choosing Home Inspections 4U.

This was a second home inspection conducted by Yuri for us. The first time we had a Premium inspection with thermal imager. That inspection revealed lots of defects that could not be seen otherwise. We were very grateful to Yuri for his professionalism and when we found another house we called him again. Once again his service was "top-of-the-line". A thorough report explained in detail all the issues that were identified by Yuri. Thankfully this time they were mostly related to maintenance. Hiring Yuri for home inspection means money well spent. Thank you Yuri for a great service!

Yuri performed a very thorough and detailed inspection, no areas skipped, very professional, answered all questions, very pleasant personality. And this is not to mention that Yuri is fully equipped with numerous helpful devices, fully certified and is constantly looking to bring his knowledge to a higher level. I would definitely recommend Yuri's services to more clients.

Home Inspection

I saw Yuri's status on HomeStars and decided that he must be good at what he does. I called him, and he was very professional. He stayed on the line for upwards of 30 minutes to answer my questions, and to explain the services and requirements very well.

During a second set-up phone call, he gave me information about services that he COULD offer, but would not suggest, due to their timelines and high cost. This made me feel like he really was working for ME, rather than for increased profits.

During the home inspection, he went over every point that he discovered, and stopped often to answer any question I had. He never seemed rushed, and genuinely wanted me to understand. He even had a sense of humor about everything. His inspection lasted for the better part of 6 hours.

His report is upwards of 60 pages, with photos for reminders of each point. He just called me to follow up with the recommendations that he had made, and to find out about the home purchase. With the home inspection came a guarantee, and a 1-year registration to a home owners assistance website.

Yuri really is the embodiment of professionalism, and I would gladly use him again for another home inspection.

Aaron, first of all thank you for your kind words and for the highest rating of my services. I indeed try to advice my clients on all ancillary services that I possibly can provide for them but at the same time I want people to get value for everything they pay for. And that is why if I don't see much value for something, even if they ask for it, I advice against it. My business motto is honesty, decency and quality for over 12 years. And that is the only way for me to grow my business. Please remember that we are your building consultants for life. Please do not hesitate to call us should you have any question or need advice. Again thank you for the highest rating of my services and all the best with your new home.

It was my first experience with home inspection and all that I can say is "WOW". I never thought that home inspection can be so much time consuming. But Yuri was very thorough and detailed. The inspection took almost four hours, and he gave us a narrative report with digital pictures and many-many recommendations. Yuri did not leave anything out of his sight. He explained to us what he was doing, showed how he saw the things and what did he see, and at the same time made notes in his tablet PC and took photos. The worries about the home and the defects were eased off by Yuri's thorough work. He also gave us 90 days warranty for his service which was an added benefit. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and honest home inspector look no further. Pick up Yuri and you will be guaranteed with a real deal.

We are the first time home buyers and were absolutely inexperienced in the home buying process. Yuri was recommended to us by a friend who had his home inspection done earlier. He said that Yuri is a real Professional with high integrity and is very thorough in what he does. We were very happy that we listened to his advice and hired Yuri for our inspection. Although the house was less than ten years old, Yuri found few serious structural, plumbing and electrical deficiencies that had to be addressed. Some of them were left by the builder, some created by the homeowner. But nevertheless they needed attention and that what Yuri pointed out in his report. Speaking of the report...it looks like a manual for every new and experienced home owner. In summary we were very happy with Yuri's services and highly recommend him and his company to everyone who wants peace of mind with the purchase as expensive as a house. Thank you Yuri!

This was a second time that we used Yuri's services, and again he was simply amazing. He is so thorough and meticulous that I believe nothing can escape his sight. He found few serious structural deficiencies, and based on his findings we were able to renegotiate a better deal. His service is top notch and worth every penny. Thank you Yuri. You are the best Professional in your field.

I found Home Inspections 4U through their reviews on Home Stars. I have to say that Yuri Olhovsky, the owner and principal inspector of this company, is a very knowledgeable and experienced inspector. His inspection was precisely to the point. It revealed every significant deficiency and provided recommendations on their remediation. The items that looked "normal" to untrained eye were seen differently by an expert. Yuri has so much training in building science that his explanations immediately became clear and understandable. His report was one of the best I had ever seen: lots of pictures and diagrams, explanations, recommendations and advice. I was very happy with the service I received from Home Inspections 4U and Yuri Olhovsky personally that I can confidently recommend it to everyone who is looking for a professional home inspector. Yuri, you are the best!

Home Inspection

Certified Master Inspector and owner of Home Inspections 4U Yuri Olhovsky was a true Professional. I learned a lot from him during the actual home inspection itself, that I never had knowledge of. Those include realizing deficiencies as small as they are, right in front of my eyes, that I usually missed or have ignored before. Yuri inspected all the systems and components of the house in utmost detail. We received the Home Inspection Report very promptly. The report was very detailed with all the observations thoroughly included, together with the recommended service actions. Deficiencies were highlighted in colors distinguishing major from minor ones. This helped us a lot to quickly pinpoint those that require future immediate action. Actual photos of components that were inspected were included. Again, this is a big plus since it serves as a guide for us in going back and review items that needs to be fixed. Also, a recall check was performed for all appliances i.e. air conditioning, water heater, fridge, etc. and we received the report for that. Fortunately, none of the appliances require a recall. All in all, I was very happy with the home inspection. The quality was superb and Yuri was a gentleman and very friendly. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime. Thank you Yuri for investing your time to inspect the home that we live in now. Your service is priceless......

Home inspection

We are very much satisfied with the home inspection done by Yuri. He really took the time to go through all the different features in the house, from the basement to the attic, and to explain to us all sorts of current and potential issues and ways to address them as we followed him around. His electronic report was also superb, with very detailed explanations and photographs, and I plan on keeping it around for quite a while as I fix the problems he located over the months (or years) to come. Awesome job, thanks Yuri!
