Ted came referred by a friend when we were looking to buy a foreclosure. Thorough review and well worth the cost. Highly recommend Ted.
During the inspection, it was difficult to get around to everything and time-constrained by tenant at the time, but Ted was still meticulous. He was disappointed in not finding anything too serious to make the inspection more exciting. Also, he was realistic about how anyone buying a place is really buying a fixer-upper, and nothings going to be ready once you move in.
Wish I knew what he taught during the inspection even when looking for rental suites. Ted teaches valuable home maintenance and instructs on how to do proper contract work/installations if doing it yourself. Willing to provide free service on advice for renos well after the purchase.
Took the time to meet at my home to do a full report review, report being 60+ pages with many photos and descriptions/comments, prioritized ranking which is very helpful. Able to use things in report to go back to strata on, like rot in wood, no soil clearance around foundation that sure enough led to springtail infestation, just like Ted called it.

Hi Dave,
That inspection was one of the more hygiene challenged homes I've been through, we all donned rubber gloves and kept our shoes on. We probably should have worn respirators as well. Thankfully the bottom line for the home is that it just needed a real good cleaning out, scrubbing, some electrical repairs and new piping. I think the strata will be very grateful that you have taken over the home and are in the process of renovation. As a famous home inspector used to say: “every house is a good house for the right price”. I believe we found the house under the litter and garbage, a diamond in the rough maybe not but all the same your enthusiasm and hard work will transform it into a solid home again.
Keep the photos and emails coming as you work through your projects.
Happy trails...
Ted Gilmour
