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.

Home Inspection for Tarion Year-end report

This was second time we hired Phil for our new home 1-year inspection. Last time was 19 years ago. As expected he performed very good job and is so professional and efficient with details for everything for new home inspection. We have received all necessary reports for Tarion's Year-end report, and also additional full report for our personal record. He explained and answered all the questions or concerns we had. Highly recommended! Thanks a lot, Phil.

Thorough Home Inspection & Report

A home purchase is no small investment and Phil made me feel as though he was inspecting his own him. Took time to thoroughly check things, point out small issues, obvious issues and also in the post inspection report (which came within about 5-10 minutes of his departure to my inbox) highighted the priority items to address.

I also appreciated as I shared some changes or modifications I wanted to make, they offered suggestions as to how to make it easier as a DIYer!

Really appreciated the treatment I received, the time they took and the quick report to help me digest all the information to take in!

Thank you, Chelsea! For people purchasing a resale home, the number of decisions to be made and the need to get answers to questions related to the home is stressful. My objective is to help to the greatest degree possible in helping my clients understand the current condition of the home they are considering purchasing.

Great service, very thorough and would definitely use again

Had a great experience. They are very thorough and take the time to answer questions and go above and beyond (literally and figuratively) with the inspection: from roof to the basement. I have full confidence in Aker Home Inspection and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Home Inspection

We hired Acker Home Inspection to inspect our home. We were incredibly happy with the service that they delivered. They were very thorough and professional during the entire time that they were at our home. When we accompanied them during the inspection, they identified obvious issues, and they offered suggestions on how these could be addressed. The reports that they produced for us were comprehensive. These included a thorough assessment of the house, good recommendations to remedy all issues that they observed and many photos that illuminated the issues. I would highly recommend this company's service to anybody who needs a comprehensive home inspection.

End of Year Warranty Inspection

Phil and Randy came to inspect my new build for the end of year warranty. They were incredibly professional, kind and explained all of the deficiencies that they found and addressed any other concerns or questions that I had. I followed Phil through the inspection and he assured me that if I had any other questions to reach out to him afterwards. The report summary was sent right away. Everything was efficient and well done. Thank you.

New construction home inspection - 1 year

Phil was very professional and attentive from the first moment I contacted him over the phone. He has lots of credentials to do this type of work and I could see that as he did the inspection. He came with someone else to help which made the inspection go smoother.

I walked with him and he was very helpful in explaining to me all the systems and components of my new home. His inspection was very thorough and I feel confident that my come is in good condition and any deficiencies where properly documented in the detailed report he provided with good quality pictures.

Feeling out the Tarion 1-year report online will be very easy and just a matter of copy and paste the information. I could also have used the pre-filled tarion form that he provided for mailing it in if I wanted.

The cost of the inspection was very competitive considering the size of my home.

Highly recommend his home inspection services.

New Home inspection

My husband and I have used Acker Home Inspection services twice. Both times were for the Inspection of our new build home. Phil and Randy are prompt, courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The report they generate is well organized and articulated. Completing Tarion warranty submissions are made easy with the report provided detailing any deficiencies that includes photos. We would highly recommend them!
