Home Inspection

I am really glad that I got help from Michael for my 2nd home inspection. Michael was very attentive, detail-oriented and responsible. After 1.5 hours inspection, he walked through everything with us in the house and pointed out all the possible risk, which I did not experience at all for my 1st home inspection from another inspector in 2010. I was surprised that he found out very small missing switch for the gas hidden behind the kitchen cabinet. Michael sent over the report very quick at the same day as promised with all the details and suggestions. I highly recommended using Michael's inspection service to anyone!

Michael was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. His confidence in what he was saying came across in conversation and in his well-documented report afterwards. I would highly recommend him to friends/family.

home inspection

I was referred to Michael Zegarra through a friend. I was very impressed with his professionalism, his attention to detail and his willingness to answer all of my "single woman buying her first home anxiety questions".
He was calm and soothing as he went through each step with me and gave me a very thorough description on the "walk around inspection" of the home...and a detailed report upon completion... He even gave me tags and a demonstration for different water/gas lines to make it easier for me at times of necessary shut offs.

I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a high quality home inspector.

Home Inspection

I contacted Michael in April 2014 to inquire about having a home inspection for our first home. His manner on the phone was welcoming and calm which put me at ease. He explained the process including his role and welcomed any questions I had. I felt secure in hiring him for our home inspection. Prior to our inspection Michael sent me his contract and a link to his website which I found quite educational. I knew I would be dealing with someone with experience. Buying a home is a huge investment so having peace of mind helps.

Michael gave us the choice to attend the entire inspection but we decided to join him the last hour to not be in the way. We just trusted the process.

Michael presented as professional and was very thorough going through each room with us and what needed attention. Afterwards we sat down and discussed more details about the town home and complex and what we could expect down the road and what we needed to do to look after our investment.

He was patient and answered all our questions and invited more once we received his Summary Report. He also presented us with some handouts.

Since this was our first home we really weren't sure what to expect and of course we were nervous about any defects. After the inspection we felt relieved and secure about our purchase.

We received Michael's report not long after his inspection. It was very detailed and included pictures.

Not long ago we received a voice message from Michael's company asking if we had any follow-up questions.

As you can see we were very impressed with Michael and his service and would highly recommend him.

Home Inspection

We live in Alberta and we have recently purchased a home in Vancouver. We hired Michael to do a home inspection for us. He was very accommodating to our schedule. He did the inspection on a Saturday afternoon and called us that evening for a detailed discussion. We requested and received a hard copy of the report. He also responded very promptly to our follow-up questions and concerns.

Home Inspection

We would recommend Zegarra Residential Inspections to anybody who would like to go through this process as seamless and stress-free as possible. Michael is reliable, professional and knowledgeable and his report came back the next morning filled with details, recommendations and pictures all in an easy to read format. As this was my first home inspection I wasn’t sure what to expect, but in end, I feel confident in Michael’s abilities and would gladly use his services in the future

Home Inspection

Assisted Review

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.

Michael was referred to us by our realtor, and as first-time home buyers, we thought it was foolish not to have an inspection done. We had zero expectations going in, but were perfectly comfortable after the inspection. We were glad Michael caught a small gas leak in our home; it was very faint but needed to be addressed. Throughout the entire inspection Michael was very professional and helpful. He answered all of our questions and was, “Inspector Michael,” to our oldest boy who followed him around during the inspection. We would definitely encourage others to use Michael’s services because he is easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable asking all of our questions.

Hi Garnet!
Thank you thank you! Your family was amazing to work with. Your son has the talent to become a future Home Inspector.

Yes anytime we come across gas leaks, the homeowners are contacted immediately for everyone's safety.

Enjoy your new home with the extra basement space for the kids.

Best,
Michael

Home Inspection

Michael Zegarra's inspection is the best I've seen. I had purchased houses before and used other inspectors but they do not compare to the detailed report and thorough explaination that I received. Definitely a 10 out of 10 score. He was prompt, very personable and best of all very professional. I will definitely refer all my friends to him. You've seen the rest now go with THE BEST! Best inspector in town BY FAR!

We were really impressed by Michael’s service. He gave the inspection a more personal touch since it was not a big company with a bunch of inspectors, and at a great value. The report was more detailed than we expected, Michael even explained things about the home to add to our own knowledge. Michael was very personable and knowledgeable- we would highly recommend him.
