Great Home Inspection Team

Great home inspection and great team of 2. They looked the home over closely and found useful items to consider in my home purchase.Was very willing to answer all questions and share knowledge. If you are buying an existing home I can say he is perfect for pointing out all deficiencies.It's clear the team has a lot of experience and found more items than the sellers home inspection. Will always recommend and return to Acker for home inspection services. Look no further you found the best.

Amazing Support for Year End Inspection

I submitted my year-end form with Tarion based on the deficiencies report from Phil. My builder was not willing to resolve some of the major issues listed in the form. The third-party hired by Tarion for the conciliation also felt no need to warrant those issues. At this point, about a year has passed since the inspection with Phil. I assumed that Phil would no longer remember or keep a record of my inspection. However, I didn't have anyone else to reach out to for advice, so I still decided to contact Phil, with little hope that he'll remember my inspection a year ago. To my surprise, Phil kept a record of my inspection and was able to provide advice on who to contact (for instance, contacting the City of Ottawa building inspections department), what information to provide to Tarion and the builder, and what were the options for proceeding forward. Phil also reached out to me and provided me with additional information and support to resolve the issues. With Phils support, my confidence was boosted and I did a Tarion reconciliation. Now, all of my issues are resolved to my satisfaction. I know this is not possible without Phil's advice and support.

2nd year warranty inspection

I really appreciate the inspection work done 2nd year now. This time was special cause I gave Phil a short notice before my due date to submit a warranty form, he really helped me to make the inspection done next day.
The details of the inspection, the final summary and the way they organized the inspection final package was fantastic.
I recommend Acker Home/Phil and his team for inspection job.

It was my pleasure to conduct a return inspection of your home this week. I noted that there were several issues from the first inspection that were not resolved by the builder. It is important to communicate with the builder your expectation that issues need to be resolved correctly and in a timely manner.

Fantastic Company

I would recommend Phil to anyone looking for a home inspection. The report Phil provided me with was very valuable information about the condition of my home, its key systems and components, and its ongoing needs for maintenance. He took the time to explain everything and provided ongoing resources. Buying a new home is a big investment. Highly recommend a home inspection with Acker.

New build home inspection

Very informative and thorough inspection. Addressed issues that I had noticed and was able to detect multiple defects that I was unable to see. Multiple things on the second level of the exterior that I wouldn't have caught. Phil was great and provided necessary documents to add to our Tarion warranty. Highly recommended

Professional and informative

We hired Phil to do a new build 30 day inspection. Phil and Randy performed the inspection and were both knowledgeable and professional. They explained everything concisely and focused on key systems. They managed to find some issues that were not obvious but important to find. This was precisely what we were looking for in an inspector and are grateful for their help. I would strongly recommend them.

Worth every penny

We hired Phil to inspect our newly built home in preparation for the 30-day inspection. He and Randy, were thorough, knowledgeable, and pleasant. They knew what issues to look for and found several non-obvious problems that will save us money and headaches in the future. We are very grateful for their help.

Wonderful service by Phil and the team

Phil and team provided were really professional in carrying out the inspection of my home which is nearing second year Tarion warranty. Phil was very helpful in clarifying all the doubts I had and explaining on everything related home inspection, which was very educational for someone like me who is very new to this subject.
Phil and the team looked into every little detail and pointed on all issues, most of which we had not even identified.
Within few minutes of completing the inspection Phil and the team provided a detailed report for our reference highlighting the important points to be raised with Tarion with second year claims. I highly recommend Phil and his team to anyone seeking inspection services.
