Thanks Genevieve I try to always explain everything clearly, there's a lot to know about moving into a new condo but you guys did a great job and did your homework! Thanks also for sending the strata documents, it helped me understand the history of the building better. Congratulations and hope to see you again!

Thanks Neena I appreciate the business, it was interesting to see the water pressure issue, sometimes we have to be like detectives to figure out what's going on! Have a great weekend!

Home Inspection

David was very thorough and professional. He took the time that was needed to do the thorough inspection and the walk-through after without being rushed at all. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Given that we only had a short time before removing our subjects to sale it was great getting the detailed report right away. Don't hesitate just call David!

Home Inspection

I hired David to be my home inspector for a 3 yr old townhouse that I'm about the purchase. He is very thorough in going through all the details. Explaining all the construction material being used and some of the construction method being used as we walk around the outside of the house (which is great experience for me as this is my first time owning a house). And it is also comforting to know that David already did his homework before coming to the inspection as he already know who is the builder of the townhouse without me telling him. One thing that I'm really happy with is that he climbed up into the attic and found a broken dryer vent pipe that I'll need to fix which I'm sure will safe me from potential future health problem if not taken care of. The final report is clear with all the details / things that was found during the inspection. I'm very happy with the quality of the service and I definitely recommend David for your home inspection.

Thank you John, I always try to do background research on the building prior to the inspection - this one was in great shape and glad we caught the issue prior to any problems occurring. I know you will love it there and enjoy your new home. David

Home Inspection

David came out to do our home inspection. He ran through everything with me - giving me details that went above the actual inspection report. He pointed out where things may go wrong, things to look out for in the future, as well as things that we should maintain on a yearly basis. All invaluable information to a first time home buyer.

Pre-Purchase Home Inspection

David inspected our condo and we were so happy with the service! He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. His thorough approach instilled us with great confidence about buying our new home. We really appreciated how he took the time to explain the good, the bad, and the interesting things that he found. The final report was very clear, complete with pictures, and ready immediately following the inspection. We would recommend his services to anyone!

Pre-purchase Inspection

David is a really tall funny professional inspector. Actually I did a inspection for another house before, their report is quite general. How ever David's report is more specific and focus on the key points, which I really like. He also gave me very good suggestions on how to maintain the house and a free maintenance book. I just remove the subjects. And I believe David's inspection is a good support for making this big decision. I greatly appreciate all his help.

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.

David is a very thorough and informative inspector. His biggest strengths are not only his expert skills but in his delivery. He is a fantastic communicator, patient, kind and speaks in layman terms for those who are not in the construction trade so make it easy to understand.
He is a pleasure to be around and make a stressful situation a pleasurable one and will save you money and aggravation if you listen to his advice on his fantastic home inspection report which is first class.
I would recommend his services to anyone!
