We provide the following types of inspections:

Home Buyer’s Pre-Purchase Inspection

The pre-purchase inspection is a professional visual examination of a home to verify the nature and condition of its components. This inspection will tell you if there is a need for major repairs, suggest ways to reduce maintenance costs, and uncover any hazards and safety concerns. The inspection will inform and familiarize you with the property, so that you know what you are buying.

Home Seller’s Pre-listing Inspection

Most people think that you do not need a home inspection if you are selling a home. This thinking could not be further from the truth. There are many benefits to having a home inspection performed before you list your home. Some of the reasons you might consider having a inspection done are: (1) to help you reduce the chance of a last minute “surprise” that could delay or derail the deal, (2) it will give you the necessary information to repair the items that could pose a problem, reduce your asking price during negotiations or possibly lose the sale, (3) it will give you and your buyers the complete piece of mind that comes from knowing the true condition of the home at the time of sale.

Pre-renovation Inspection

The pre-renovation inspection is an opportunity to consult with an objective professional who has the technical background to foresee problems and offer best approaches. The inspector will review just those parts of your home affected by the renovation, and then prepare a list of items to consider before and during the renovation. The idea is to understand exactly what you are getting yourself into before you start your renovation project.

New Home Inspection (PDI)

A pre-delivery inspection and report takes place before the homebuyer accepts delivery by signing off on the builders contract. This report provides a homeowner with a list of home issues to be addressed by the builder which they and the homebuyer agree on fixing, repairing, or replacing.

Energy Audits

A home energy audit is a service where the energy efficiency of a house is evaluated by a person using professional equipment, with the aim to suggest the best ways to improve energy efficiency in heating and cooling the house. The audit involves recording various characteristics of the home including the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and skylights. The goal of the audit is to quantify the home’s overall thermal performance. A home energy audit is often used to identify cost effective ways to improve the comfort and efficiency of buildings. In addition, homes qualify for energy efficiency grants from the provincial government.
