Thorough and Knowledgeable Inspection

We had an incredible experience with our home inspection. The team was extremely knowledgeable and professional, explaining everything clearly and even pointing out issues we would have missed. They uncovered multiple building code violations that the builder overlooked, which could have caused serious problems later. Thanks to them, were now much more informed and confident in our next steps. Their expertise and thorough approach were invaluable. Highly recommend!

The team truly knows what they are doing.

Thorough and professional home inspection provided, great guys!

Phil and his partner provided me with an excellent walk-through during the home inspection assessment and answered all questions I had. Once the inspection was completed, the provided inspection report was detailed, easy to understand, and thorough. I'd also like to add that Phil has a great sense of humour and this made the inspection all the more relaxed. I highly recommend Phil and his team to everyone and as well, this rates are very competitive!

Top Notch Company

Acker Home Inspection provides excellent service, which is why I am a return customer and I have no qualms about referring them to others. Phil recently completed an inspection on a home I purchased, making my second home-buying experience less stressful. Phil's professional yet approachable demeanour made it comfortable to ask questions and review findings. I really appreciate how the report covers each area in an understandable manner, technical information and pictures included. The report is so helpful and will help me stay on top of maintenance after possession. Top notch service again, thank you. Julie Bourk, Stittsville, Ontario

Home inspection

Sincere thanks to Phil and Randy for doing a home inspection for our first home. I felt very supportive and informed by their inspection of the home. I felt very comfortable to ask questions and to come along for the entire inspection. We received a detailed summary very shortly after the session.
Thanks again!

Home Inspection

I would highly recommend Acker Home Inspection.

Phil was very knowledgeable and has a very keen eye. As a first-time home buyer, I had a lot of anxiety prior to the home inspection, but his calm and informative way of delivering information put me at ease.

My house was on the newer side, but he was still able to point out many minor issues the house would need remedied and provided me with a good roadmap for the future maintenance of my house.

Home Inspection

Phil is a very knowledgeable professional. He helped me finish the one year Tarion inspection. He did a thorough examination and walk me through the issues in my home. I was worried about the leakage in my basement. Due to the weather, it did not show the clear evidence. Phil made a second trip to inspect it after the rainy days. He also identified the insulation problem in the attic. I will definitely work with Phil again and his service is highly recommended.

Thank you for your review, Cindy. I'm glad I was able to help you with your concerns about maintaining a dry basement and to identify that there was insufficient insulation in your attic.

Professional and knowledgeable

This was the 3rd time I used this company in 17 years. This time it was for a 10 year old home which we bought without a home inspection so we were a bit worried about what Phil and Randy would find. As usual, they were extremely thorough, knowledgeable and professional. The report is detailed and easy to understand. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars in the "satisfaction" rating is because the report is online only. I would much prefer a hard copy, the way it was the first time I used this company. Overall though, I would not hesitate to recommend them and to use them again. The depth of their knowledge is invaluable and whatever answer they are unable to answer, they will direct you to the type of service that is required to repair or correct the issue with your home.

Recommended

I would highly recommend Acker Home Inspection. After working with them twice, their process is thorough and streamlined and have been a great help in resolving home warranty issues. Following along with the inspection is educational and addressing deficiencies early is a cost-efficient form of preventive maintenance. Again, highly recommended for new homeowners.
