Harrison Home Inspections Ltd

Our family recently bought a house in North Vancouver. During the subject removal stage, we shortlisted Kevin from a list of inspectors for our home and thank GOD we did. Not many decisions can go this perfect. Hiring Kevin to do the job certainly turned out to be one. He was very pleasant to talk to. Answered all queries to my satisfaction. The rates were reasonable and lower than the competition my realtor recommended.
On the inspection day, he was on time. Explained the things that he found in great detail and the inspection report showed up in my inbox on time. The report had pictures and details about the issues mentioned in clearly understandable way. We had some concern regarding lack of heating with radiant floors.Kevin has a nice infra red camera to measure the heat intensity from the in floor heating). Kevin volunteered to come back again once we got the issue sorted with the sellers. He came back , inspected the floor again and we were so satisfied and relieved that heating was working to our satisfaction.
We have now moved into the house and noticed that during the rain, water was spilling out from the gutters and not going into the drain pipe. I requested Kevin if he can come back and take a look. He did and told us that this is a regular maintenance issue. He did not charge us anything for these extra trips he made. What a relief and what great customer service. I recommend him to all my friends who are looking to buy a property. My realtor thinks he is a great inspector too. She is also putting him on top of her recommendation list.Kevin, you have my number. Please do not hesitate to give it out as referral to anyone looking for a home inspector. I will be more than willing to recommend you and gladly answer any referral calls that comes my way.

As anyone will tell you, buying real estate in the GVRD is not cheap. Thus a home needs to be as much an investment as a place to live which makes buying an even more stressful endeavor. Knowing exactly what you are looking at is the key to taking the stress out of the equation, which is why I am glad that I had Kevin of Harrison Home Inspections to help me when looking at a potential purchase. He was prompt, courteous, professional, knowledgeable and above all thorough. He took the time to explain what he was looking for, what he was seeing and how that could effect the property. He also patiently answered my (admittedly uninformed) questions as we went through the inspection. It truly was an education from how to care for the roof and chimney, to identifying electrical and plumbing issues, to drainage and the effect plants would have on property features (like retaining walls). At the end of the day the issues that Kevin identified allowed us to re-negotiate the sale price of our new house, but as importantly, gave me confidence in knowing what I was getting myself into was a good investment. In short, he did a great job, and I would have no trouble recommending Kevin to anyone looking to have a prospective home inspected. Thanks Kevin!
