When we were looking for a condo inspector, we were in the same shoes as many who dread the process of having to look for one. Where do I begin? What if the reviews say one thing but the product I get is the complete opposite?
This is when we stumbled upon homestars.com and found Haystack Home Inspections. I think we were fortunate to have found Chris at Haystack as he really put our mind at ease regarding getting a thorough inspection done before the purchase. He delivered a high quality inspection at a very reasonable price.
The inspection also included a review of the strata council minutes and engineering report. It is always better to have a professional interpret and glean things from the report and Chris gave us a good summary of the details and answered any questions we had.
What I did like:
- did not rush anything and took the time to explain and answer all our questions
- very comprehensive written report in an easy to read format complete with photos of the inspected areas and a rating of good to poor
- friendly and courteous demeanour
- was able to accommodate our tight schedule
What I did not like:
- honestly, nothing that I can think of
I would not hesitate to use Chris again for any future inspections and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an inspector for their condo purchase.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $400.00
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Company Response
Wow Danny, I like what you had to say as well. Thanks for a very thoughtful review I appreciate the time you took. You had me on my toes when I read the What I did not like… thankfully is was nothing. That’s what I strive for every inspection a satisfied client. Good luck in your new Vancouver Condo. Sincerely, Chris Thompson
