Home Inspection and Infrared Scan
An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
Last year we almost purchased a home in Brampton but determined there were problems that we were not prepared to accept. By using the thermal camera, a leak was found from an upstairs tub yet nothing visible could be seen. This detail and care that was taken with the inspection and report impressed me so much that I specifically sought out Tom for our most recent home purchase. Since Holmes Inspections contracted out the work to Clearview, I knew it was worth using a second time.
This year, I was able to book Tom the day after we signed the purchase agreement. Again, I made sure the inspection included the thermal camera - it's definitely worth every penny. Of course the home wasn't perfect being over 50yrs old but the only major issue was with the electrical panel. It was truly comforting to have had a few phone calls and emails with Tom to clarify the issue, which turned out to be resolved.
The bottom line is that trust in this industry is a challenge because we hear and remember stories about home owners getting burned. Tom's approach to inspections places me at the focal point - it's going to be my house and my risk that I'm taking so being taking the time to answer all of my questions is critical. My experience with Tom twice has been excellent and consistent, thus giving me a sense of trust.
