Buying a home is not
an easy task and the risks can be high
if you do not know what you are really buying. Be sure
the home you are investing in, is safe and worth the investment. If you hire me to inspect the
home, you can be assured I will perform a through home
inspection. I am fully trained, certified, WETT certified, insured and use the
latest tools available for inspections to confirm my visual
findings.
You will receive
a high quality PDF narrative type report
(delivered to you same day
via email)
that explains
everything in an easy to read format that
includes colour digital photos embedded in the
report that clearly show the defects and areas
of concern to help you decide
whether or not to purchase the home. To view a small
sample report,

sample is 12 of 24 pages.) If you have any questions,
don't hesitate to contact me.

A Typical home inspection takes between 1.5 to 2.5 hours approx
onsite and another 2 hours to prepare the report when I
return
to the office. Reports are delivered to you same day via email
in colour PDF format with full digital photos embedded
in the report. |

If you require a wood or pellet stove to be WETT
certified and a separate report to be issued for your
insurance company, there is a $50 charge plus HST for
each appliance if inspected during the home inspection.
Otherwise the cost is $125 plus HST per appliance
without home inspection. |

I am an approved inspector for Brookfield Global Relocation Services for RCMP,
Federal Government Civil Service and Canadian Military
and offer direct billing. You must have an approved
File Number and will be required to sign a Brookfield
"Certification of Service Received" form. Contact your relocation coordinator if you
do not have this number. I do have copies of the form
they require you to sign.
Fee is pre-negotiated by Brookfield and we use their
fee structure. We submit everything on-line to them for
payment. |
On-site reporting
not available. Why?
1) The
inspection reports are very detailed and it takes considerable time
to prepare the informative narrative type reports produced.
2) In my opinion, check box type of on-site reporting do
not give you enough information about the problems
observed and usually do not provide adequate advice
about what it takes to resolve the issues. The detailed
information allows you to make an informed decision to
purchase the property or not. 3) Allows time to review all evidence collected
on-site and report them to you in professional report.
You
Choose the Home Inspector:
It is
critical for you, the home buyer to pick the home
inspector you wish to hire to ensure there are no
conflicts of interest between the Real-Estate agents and
the Inspector. I am 100% independent, objective and give
you the facts as I view them. I do not pay
referral fees to real-estate agents or anyone else
included in the transaction and I uphold the strict
"Code of Ethics" set by CAHPI for it’s members to
follow.
The
Home Inspection process is extremely important and I
encourage you to attend the Home Inspection. If you are
not able to attend, you will miss out on a crucial part
of the inspection process so please make it a point to
attend. Pricing is based on square footage,
type of residence, the age of the home and of course the
location of the property. Please see the
table above for pricing and descriptions. I encourage
you to contact me if the job you have does not
fit within our pricing structure. I can give you a quote
once I receive the details.
