Town Home inspection

We assigned Acker Home Inspections to represent us in the PDI as we were outside the country at PDI time. At the same time their expert undertook the inspection and prepared comprehensive file with all the pictures, decencies reports, Tarion Form for the Tarion 30 days. Their expert is very thorough in his inspection and was responsive to our questions even weeks after the inspection. Excellent customer service. We will definitely use their service for the 12month. We highly recommend Acker Home inspection for anyone who is looking for A knowledgeable experienced Expert in inspection who is reliable and offers high quality service.

Thank you very much for your review. I typically do not perform new home inspections at the PDI milestone. However, there is an exception for my attending the PDI, and that is when my clients' are unable to attend. In such cases, I serve as the new homeowners designate at the PDI meeting.

New Home Inspection

Phil and his assistant arrived on time, where thorough in the review of the property, took the time to walk me through the findings before leaving and provided a comprehensive report. They did a great service and found issues I would not have normally noticed. I would highly recommend them for a home inspection.

This is the second time I hire Acker

I hired Acker in 2014 for my primary residence. They did a good job and I learned a lot from him. I hired him again for my investment property again this year and their quality of work does not decrease like our purchasing power today. Its worth every penny.

1 Year Home Inspection

As a first time homeowner owning a new construction home, I contacted Phil for the Tarion 1 year warranty inspection. Phil has great attention to detail, he was able to notice major hidden structural issues of the house that the homeowner would never find out with the naked eye. When doing the home inspection with Phil and his team, I didn't even have to show him the issues, he proactively did a thorough examination of the house to look for potential issues. Moreover, Phil is very knowledgeable about the building process and Tarion warranty coverage. In his report, Phil not only identifies the issues, but also mentions about the impact and the consequences. At the end of the inspection, Phil even mentions that I can contact him if later on, I have questions that I didn't ask during the inspection. I'm definitely going to refer Phil to my family members and friends!

Thank you for your review! You pointed out something that I believe is important for all of my customers. After the inspection, all clients are invited to contact me if there are any questions about the inspection and about any concerns that arise from living in their home. There is no time limitation for reaching out to me. I quite often answer questions and give advise to clients several years after I inspected their homes.

30 day Home inspection - Retuning client, Excellent service

Phil and Randy did an excellent job completing the home inspection. They went out of their way not only helping me identity any deficiencies but also educating me about maintenance etc. They completed a home inspection for me few years ago and we were very happy with their service. They happily allowed me to follow them and explained everything he was checking/found. Same day after the inspection, they provided various files describing all the issues, including matching photos, and other additional Tarion documents. I highly recommend Acker Home inspection team to anyone in need of a service and will definitely reach out to him for any future inspection.

Acker Home Inspection

Phil and his team were very thorough, professional and polite. They took the time to answer all of our questions and the report they provided was exceptional. They found items that we missed even after living in the house for a year. Their report referenced the Tarion articles and it was much easier to include everything in our year end report to the builder. I would highly recommend Phil’s service, especially if you will be submitting your one year report to your builder.

1 YEAR INSPECTION - FANTASTIC SERVICE!

Phil and his team were very responsive and courteous from the start! It was great to have them include us in the walkthrough and answer any questions we had along the way. They explained everything indicated on the report clearly and are there to help if you have any questions after receiving the report. Highly recommend for anyone completing their 1-year Tarion submittal.

30 Day Home Inspection

Phil and Randy did a phenomenal job helping me identity any deficiencies with my new home in order to fill out the 30 day Tarion form. He happily allowed me to follow and explained everything he was checking/found. Afterwards, was promptly provided numerous files describing all the issues, including matching photos, along with what to fill in the Tarion warranty form with. Would recommend him to anyone, and would definitely have him back if I ever need a future inspection.
