Right from the start I knew that picking Chris as my inspector was a wise decision. Chris was able to quickly point out the major work occurring nearby and was able to tell me that what I thought was a major repair was simply a fresh coat of paint. After the inspection I was armed with far more knowledge which let me make an informed decision on the property.

Hi Jeff, Unfortunately a fresh coat of paint can hide many sins. As a home inspector it is our job to try and see past the façade and determine the true condition of a place. Often times there are other clues that may lead us to conclusions of whether a fresh coat of paint is simply good maintenance or used to deceive. In your case we were lucky enough to have a sister building undergoing a major renovation because of an exterior cladding issue. While not conclusive these kinds are clues definitely help in making the decision that you are comfortable with. Thanks for trusting your condo inspection to us. Sincerely, Chris Thompson
