Thorough and Professional Home Inspection

Great experience - like getting a user manual for your new home. Chris is experienced and thorough - clearly enjoys what he does and cares about sharing his insights - both onsite and in writing...received a comprehensive report the next day. Highly recommended!

Thanks JP, I really do enjoy helping you understand the condition of your home. The care and attention taken in building your North Vancouver home was interesting. The fact that all the interior walls were backed with plywood to allow easy hanging of pictures, book shelves or whatever is very unusual. It is also a fantastic bonus as it helps keep the home quiet. This was a first. Finds like this keep the process interesting. I hope you are happy for years to come in your new home. If your user manual is missing any answers you need feel free to call. Sincerely, Chris Thompson.

Home Inspection

Chris was very friendly, thorough and professional. As a first time home buyer, I didn't know what to look for with an inspection. Chris explained everything as he went through the house, including what were truly serious issues and what were non-issues. It made the purchase decision much easier. I'd highly recommend him to anyone else looking for a home inspector.

Hi PU, I am glad you found your PURCHASING DECISION MUCH EASIER using our service. Really that is a large part of a home inspection or in your case a North Vancouver town home inspection. While it is great to know the large issues with a residence and many of the lesser issues, it is also about the feeling of comfort you get in the knowledge that you can handle what might be coming your way. Particularly as a first time buyer it is the fear of the unknown that is scarier than the actual issues themselves. Good luck with your new property and if you have any questions please call. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

Extremely Thorough & Professional

Chris of Haystack Home Inspections is by far the most professional and thorough home inspector I have ever used. I would highly recommend him to family, friends and colleagues. His professionalism and attention to detail are unparalleled. Don't risk not having a home inspection, it's a small fee to know what you are getting yourself into and Chris is by far the best in the business.

Wow Tyler, I really appreciate it when industry professionals rely on my service and relay their positive experiences. Helping with your North Vancouver home inspection was my pleasure. It is surprising so many people are forgoing inspections in this hot Vancouver market. While most value is now in the land for many homes if you plan on anyone living in the home an inspection is a very good idea. We are there to talk about major issues that might change your mind about purchasing but also life safety issues and sometimes small repairs that could save you a lot of money in future damage. I look forward to a continued relationship and wish you and your family all the best in your new home. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

Inspection

Have Chris do the inspection for our new home (half duplex). It was an efficient and quick service since Chris is ready to present when we got there. He showed us the major risk and some other things that we might need to pay attention for. The most important thing is he also provided recommendation for fixing the problems, save us a lot of time by search ourselves! He's also very responsible individual who will let me ask any questions whenever I want. I highly recommend this company for home inspection.

Home Inspection

Chris performed our home inspection for a newbuild a few days ago. Chris was very thorough and caught things that I never would have seen or thought of. The inspection report itself blew me away. He produced something above and beyond what I expected. He is very knowledgeable and practical as well. It was money well spent. I would highly recommend Chris to anybody who is looking for a home inspector.

Hi PU, Thanks for taking the time to talk about the inspection on your newly built Coquitlam home. People often ask if it is worth getting an inspection on new builds. Sharing your experience lets other know it is worthwhile. With the crazy Vancouver and the lower Mainland market builders are putting up houses as fast as they can. Whether intentional or not that seems to come with some short cuts. With a recent client we were actually able to determine the builder had left out the soundproofing the client had paid a premium for. This meant the builder had remove all the ceiling and walls in the basement to start again, talk about delays. Builders are also scrambling for experienced trades. More and more it seems builders are in a rush to get a sign off on completion. Your experience is no exception. As discussed on site the home really wasn't complete and while most of the issues were simply finishing work builders should know better. Asking for a final walk through before it is actually complete inevitably leads to another walk through. This also leads to greater aggravation. At Haystack Home Inspections we are so happy when clients like you write to tell us their home inspection WAS MONEY WELL SPENT. Thanks. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

Hi, With client's busy work schedules it is not always possible for them to meet with us on site which is ideal. In instances where clients are from out of town or simply unable to make it a summary is possible by phone. I was so grateful you were happy with our insights and ability to accommodate your schedule. Sincerely, Chris Thompson
