Roof Inspection

There is not enough words in the English language to explain on how happy and satisfied I am with Ian Johnson of home sweet home inspections. I hired Ian to do a roof inspection for me and he found and pointed out so many flaws from the job that was done from a very bad contractor. I thought that I had only a couple of flaws but I soon found out there were a lot more than what I expected. He spent as much time as needed to inspect every inch of my roof to make sure nothing was missed and provided me with a well detailed report. With his help I was able to go after the contractor that was responsible for the mess of my roof and get things taken care of properly. I would definitely hire Ian again in the future and certainly recommend him to all of my friends, family and neighbors. Thanks again Ian for a job well done!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us and particularly Ian such a great review. I am absolutely thrilled that ian helped you sort out the issues that were left behind by a shabby contractor. I had a chance to look at the thermal imaging shots of the leaks in your attic and home and I am dumbfounded by all the issues you had. I'm happy you can put this behind you now and move on with getting your home and all the damage taken care of.

George and Ian were so lovely to deal with. Very professional and absolute experts at what they do. I would recommend them to my friends and family, and all over social media! Very pleased with the work performed! I learned so much from everything Ian explained to me during the home inspection. I know for sure that I will use them again in the future! I am assured that my home is taken care of if you have these guys do the inspection. So happy to have found them!

Hello Jasmin,

Thank you so very much for your positive review. It was a pleasure for both Ian and I both to be involved in your eventual home purchase. It sounds like passing on the first home was the right move based on Ian's feedback. Please download the "safe home manual" I sent you that is such a valuable tool for you once you are in the home. Once again we sincerely appreciate your very positive feedback!

With kind regards,

Home Inspection

We hired George for an inspection of an older home in Welland. George was able to fit us into his schedule within 2 days. We found the service excellent. His report was presented on the spot. He sent us several pictures with issues within 12 hours. Based on his report and findings we were able to negotiate with the seller and have a further $4,000 taken off the price of the home! Thanks for the great work.

Hi Mike,
Thanks very much for taking the time to rate us. I'm glad that you were able to get a pretty substantial price adjustment in this market. Don't forget to download the free safe home manual I forwarded you the link for. I hope you both enjoy that home for years to come.

Home Inspection of Century Home

We Hired George on very short noticed since the clause in our purchase agreement only allowed for 3 days! George was able to fit us in on a Sunday morning. When we arrived George was already there with his latter in place and ready to work. The inspection took about 3 hours and when he was done he went over the entire report including all of the highlights and areas of concern. One of the major things he found was the electrical panel that was a major fire hazard as confirmed by an Electrician we had come out a couple of days later. I would definitely recommend George to anyone looking for a great inspector and inspection report!

Home Inspection

When I bought my home, my realtor suggested I use Home Sweet Home for my home inspection. George & Larry were great - they explained the issues they found, and let me know which were urgent and which could wait. When they got to the house, they discovered the electricity had been shut off so couldn't do the entire inspection in one visit - when it was back on (the next week), they made a second trip out at no cost. I would highly recommend Home Sweet Home.

George was very thorough with the inspection and very helpful. He provided a lot of useful home preservation tips in addition to a very detailed report. He also went over the report with us as we walked around the house. He was also very patient to all of our questions.

Home Inspection

George was very professional from the time we first contacted him for a quote. We spent a lot of time conversing over the phone as we are from the U.S. and moving up to Canada. He arrived on time explained everything that was involved in the home inspection while going over the details of the report. At the end of the inspection George went over the details of the inspection. The insulation in the attic was partially Vermiculite which George explained may contain Asbestos. George said that the best way to know for sure was to have it tested for peace of mind. George took 3 samples and sent them to a lab for analysis. Three days later George forwarded us the lab results (a lab certificate) showing that none of the 3 samples contained Asbestos. This was a great relief for us and we then proceeded to purchase the home. I would easily recommend Home Sweet Home Inspections for a home inspection
