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

The below prices are for a single family dwelling in HRM area only. Please contact me for a quote if you have a multiple family property or if the home is located outside of HRM. I will respond to your inquiry within 15 minutes to 1 hour, 7 days a week between 8am-10pm AST.

NOTES: 1) 15% HST Tax not included.
 
2) 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.
 
3) 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.
 
4) 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.  

Please fill out the Order Form so I will have all the details.

Please be prepared to provide the following information that is required to complete your inspection booking if you call for an appointment.

  • Description of the house
  • Approximate age of house
  • Approximate size of house
  • Any special requirements/considerations
  • Location of Property

If you are ready to book your appointment, click here to proceed to the online booking form or you may call us at 902-221-3981. Booking on-line will get the fastest response as I have my blackberry and can respond even when I'm away from the office.

Thank you.
