Haystack Home Inspections

Worked with Chris to do the inspection prior to my purchase. Chris was extremely thorough and took the time to explain his findings to me very clearly. I also renovated my suite and wanted to double check the work in my bathroom. I have full confidence in Chris, do I contested him again for a follow up inspection. Again, he did an outstanding, thorough job. You can really see that he has his customers interest as his top priority.

Chris was professional, friendly and thorough. Couldn't have asked for more. After some very bad home inspections with other companies in the past Haystack Home Inspections was a breath of fresh air.

Chris from Haystack Home Inspections was professional, thorough and pleasant. I particularly liked the full detailed report he emailed to us after he did his inspection- which is something I had not received with previous home inspections with other companies.

Chris walked me through all of the maintenance items for future consideration, and was very flexible in booking the appointment at the time of my convenience. His report was thorough and full of helpful photos.

The property I am interested is over 1M - quite a big investment. So i am very caution, and want to 200% sure the property has no problem and no potential problem. Chris is very professional. He knows what he is doing and I actually followed him during the whole inspection. He explained each procedure to me, I am very happy with his professional knowledge and service. Highly recommended! AAA+++

Chris is great! For me, as a girl, who doesn't have much knowledge about houses & maintenance, that house inspection was a lot to take in. Chris was very patient, explain everything to me. I had to contact him a few times after inspection with more questions, and he was very helpful about it. Great experience, highly recommend! :)

I found Chris to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. As first time homebuyers, we were nervous and wanted to ensure that we were purchasing a quality place. He put us at ease by explaining the process and his findings during the inspection. Chris also provided a comprehensive summary at the end.

Chris has blown away all of my expectations of a home inspection. I have spoken with numerous other home inspectors (all of them were friends' referrals), but none of them could provide the services that Chris did. My point is, don't just listen to your friends; read the reviews! Chris gets perfect 10/10s for good reasons.

He arrived early (not just on time, but EARLY) to inspect the exterior or our building before even I showed up. We then went over the machinery room, the roof, and even the parkade where he pointed out any cracks and things and explained why they're there. This is what I meant when I said Chris had blown away all my expectations ---I only employed him to inspect our apartment suite but was happily provided a full comprehensive package.

As expected by this point, with the suite itself Chris showed even more care in the inspection. Every nook and cranny, every light and appliance (yes, he will even make sure your washing machine is running properly) and he even discovered a single missing screw on a door hinge. The list goes on...

At the end of the day, he then emailed us a 50-page inspection report complete with clear pictures, recap of EVERYTHING that we went through on site, along with a super easy to understand colour-coded "severity rating" for what requires action immediately and what can wait. In the end, the inspection report helped us negotiate a better price with the seller and I am now the very happy owner of our new home.

Thanks Chris! Your work gave me confidence in my purchase and contributed to me and my wife's new life here. I will recommend you to all my friends ---and telling them to read the reviews for themselves of course :)

My husband and I found Chris on HomeStars and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good home inspector. In particular he was very patient, allowed us to shadow him and ask lots of questions during the inspection. The information we learned from the report was invaluable and insightful.

Chris is courteous, easy to talk to, and prompt to reply. We really appreciate him being able to schedule the inspection to fit our needs.

We are very happy with the service we received and would gladly use Haystack Inspections again or refer him to family/friends. Thank you for helping us with our home purchase!

Chris did an excellent job of home inspection for us. He was very patient, thorough, professional and took his time to answer any question we have. He also spent a lot of time explained the findings of his inspection report to us which are very helpful. Overall, a very satisfied experience! Great job Chris!
