Haystack Home Inspections

totally satisfied with the work and details, especially the follow up by Chris. Also Chris went beyond the the review and gave suggestions on improvements. He was also courteous and a pleasure to work with.

I'm a potential first-time home buyer and I had a great experience with Haystack Home Inspections. It made me realize that having an inspection brings a lot of peace of mind to the home-buying process. I contacted Chris about a fairly short-notice condo inspection and he was very accommodating.

I thought there wouldn't be much to a condo inspection, but Chris pointed out a lot of things I had never thought to look for. I was present during the inspection and he took the time to answer my (very) numerous questions without ever seeming annoyed or in a rush. He also helped review documents such as strata minutes and depreciation reports that I was provided by the realtor. Chris made recommendations for maintaining the property in the years ahead as well, which I found very helpful.

We live in a housing market that—for most of us—is very difficult to get into. There's so much competition and such large amounts of money involved that it often feels like people will only tell you what you want to hear. It's not that way with Chris; he'll be upfront with you and help you weigh the pros and cons of your potential purchase. I ended up not buying the condo but I will absolutely contact Chris again when I'm ready to make another offer on a property. He's courteous, professional, and very thorough.

Chris was very knowledgeable. He walked us through the whole house pointing out the good and bad. The inspection took a few hours but time well spent. He also gave us a detailed easy to read report that we still reference.

It was a delight to work with Chris. He was punctual, reasonably priced and honest. I would recommend him to my family and friends. I will definitely be using his services again. Thank you again for your excellent customer service and looking forward to working with you in the near future. Anju Parmar

We had Chris do an inspection prior to our home coming off warranty. Chris was very thorough, even identifying some issues two previous inspections had missed. Excellent service, very professional, recommended.

Chris is an extremely conscientious home inspector who well deserves his high ratings as he provided a thorough inspection for my home and highlighted current issues and practical remedies for potential future problems. He provided followup email and phone call post-inspection and was easily accessible prior , during and after inspection. He ensured that I was well-informed about my home purchase. I highly recommend him without any reservation.

With good real estate being snatched up so quickly I needed to have a townhouse inspected in short order. I called Haystack Home Inspection - referred to me by my realtor- and Chris made it work in the necessary time frame with absolute professionalism! I was alerted to any concerns in priority sequence which helped me to determine any immediate costs or down-the-road costs.
Chris was very pleasant, professional and reasonable so would be highly recommended by me!!

Chris provided a detailed inspection and an easy to read report. Each problem item on the report included a photo and a rating indicating how urgently it should be fixed. He had a good attitude and was flexible on dates.

Chris did a fantastic job and provided all the information I needed in a very thorough yet simple report on the issues with the property. Based on his review I, I was able to renegotiate for a lower price on the house.

Chris was great, he helped us out in a pinch as the terms of our offer didnt lend much time to an inspection. He was promt, accurate and convenient. We will use him again without a doubt!
