Client Testimonials

“Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness."

A few weeks ago, Kris conducted a home inspection on my new construction property. I wasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't had a home inspection done in years. Upon meeting Kris, I was put at ease. Not only was he punctual and personable, but he was also focused on getting the work done. He was efficient, surprising me with advice on potential issues before I had a chance to settle in (after arriving home).


While he was discussing his findings, I found that he was extremely detail oriented which was a great comfort. He was very knowledgeable with answers to every question and request, which is especially valuable for a novice like me. When I got his report, I was very pleased with his many pages of insights. It was a virtual encyclopedia of information.


He was comprehensive and thorough, covering the property from corner to corner, top to bottom. I felt that I got full value for money. All told, Kris is a true professional who puts the interests of his clients first, which isn't all too common these days.

Very professional and personable, Kris came by to conduct a home inspection on my home before I prepared to list it for sale. He was very thorough and explained his process and what he was looking for.


Kris having a background in construction and previously having practiced in a province where home inspectors are regulated (they aren’t in Ontario) it was a great comfort knowing he was not only thorough, but knew what he was doing! Although there were a couple items found that I wish didn’t exist and I’ll need to rectify, that’s the whole point of a home inspection - finding out the dirty details and knowing what you’ve got, or are getting into. Highly recommended.

As a first time home buyer, I had so many questions about what to look for during an inspection. Kris was able to walk through the entire house with me, using different tools + technologies - and to highlight areas of interest/concern.
 
Additionally, I was extremely impressed by Kris' ongoing care for the maintenance of the house as he followed up about 6 months after the move-in to ask on the status of the house, and if there were any questions or concerns about the property.
 
I definitely recommend Kris for his strong attention to detail, thorough knowledge of all of the components of a house, and his ongoing demand for excellence for himself on the properties he inspects.
