Condo Inspection

We recently had David inspect our first condo purchase. As first-time homebuyers, we can't say enough good things about our experience . David was very thorough, friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. We feel much better acquainted with our new home, as David took us through every small detail. He took the initiative to fix small things on the fly and give us advice for future maintenance of our new home. The inspection report is top notch, and he even gave us Fairbairn's Inspection Services' Ultimate Home Book guide which is full of great information and home maintenance tips. David has a great attitude and is a real pleasure to deal with. I'd recommend Fairbairn Inspection Services to anyone!

David performed a compete checkup of our (potential) new home ", and I really appreciate his professional manner: explain things I don't understand in details with patience, a thorough examine with photos, and David even fixed a door problem during inspection for me. I'll definitely recommend David to my friends as their inspector! Good job David!

Home inspection

We used David's services based on his great online reviews, and we were not disappointed. He gave a very careful and thorough inspection of our condo, and spent extra time at the end (going beyond the 2 hour appointment we paid for!) going over the strata documents and engineers report with us. He had answers for all our questions - he was extremely knowledgeable! He was early to the inspection, so in total he spent 3 hours with us when he only needed to spend 2. He went above and beyond what was expected of him. We were so grateful to have his help.

We were nervous about buying an older condo in Vancouver, but after going through the inspection with him, and having him assure us that it was a solid building, we removed subjects and have no fears about becoming first time homeowners. Thank you so much, David, for your friendly expertise! Highly, highly recommended.

Home Inspection

I decided to try David out because of his amazing reviews online. Every single one of those awesome reviews, he deserves. I was very nervous going in to bid on a foreclosure. David was very knowledgeable, took the time to explain things clearly and gave excellent advice. If he saw little things here and there that needed some care or needed fixing, he would fix it for you if he could, or give you excellent tips. He had all the tools needed to do an excellent inspection. He was not afraid to get his hands dirty and go through every space, wall, hole, etc. His inspection reports are clear and includes tips and pictures of the defects he found. I would definitely recommend any one looking for an honest, knowledgeable inspector to use David. Purchasing a home is a big commitment and I couldn't feel more confident going forward with my bid. It was a pleasure working with you, David, and I will be sending friends and family your way.
