Home inspection

I was most impressed by how well they communicated various issues around the home during an inspection. Even after the inspection, they were great for answering follow-up questions. They provide a great report write-up and will make sure you are comfortable understanding all the info they provide.

New Home Inspection

Phil and Randy's services surpassed my expectations. As a first time homebuyer, I didn't know what I was getting into with a pre-construction home. Phil and Randy were extremely helpful in preparing me for the Tarion 30-day submission. They were professional with their process and explained all the defects that were found with the home. I highly recommend Acker Home Inspection.

Home inspection services

I found Phil and his colleague to be thorough, pleasant, knowledgeable without being patronizing, and the entire inspection process was actually...enjoyable. Given that this inspection took 2 experts more than 2 hours to go through everything and explain the options to me (and my realtor and my father and my 2 children), I found this to be very, very good value for the price, and ended up changing my purchase strategy considerably. I would highly recommend Phil and his team.

Excellent - As always.

This is the third time we've had our home inspection completed by Phil Acker and Randy. They're extremely professional and very quick with producing the report. They are very thorough when it comes to the inspection. We're glad to have used this service a third time.

We'll keep coming back

We used them for our first home and we'll keep coming back! We asked our real estate agent for her #1 recommendation (because I forgot we'd had our home inspected) and, funny enough, it was Acker.

They're thorough, explain everything to you, and very patient.

I even asked them about fixing some things and they happily explained it to me, clarifying when I didn't understand.

Highly recommended!

Great service, Phil and Randy were very thorough and took the time to explain every thing about what they were going to inspect and the deficiences that were discovered along the way. I felt I was in good hands through this whole process and am so glad I decided to go with Acker Home Inspection for my year end warranty!
