This was my first home inspection experience. The inspector was on time, friendly, thorough and honest. The inspector was on time and quite friendly. The inspector gave helpful tips on items that not only needed to be repaired or replaced for safety reasons, but also to help improve the energy efficiency of our new home. We received excellent value from Accurate Home Inspections, and would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends and family.

The inspector we hired did a great job. The inspector was at the house and had completed the roof inspection before we arrived. A few damaged shingles were found and the owner got them fixed. There were many minor repairs that the inspector had pointed and out and explained why they needed to be remedied. My wife and I found the inspection to be helpful and valuable for us to make our final decision towards our home purchase.

I am sorry to say this but I found the experience minimally satisafactory. This is my 2nd inspection and this inspector's report was far, far briefer, included many less photos and we later found several areas that the inspector failed to check, such as the ice machine is broken, the dishwasher not secured, the vacuum outlets not all working, ants in the house, etc. No inspector can find everything but these surface issues should have come up. Over all the inspector was polite, accessable, communicative and friendly but I felt lacked thoroughness in both the services and the report. Particularly when comparing to past inspections I have had. I also dislike the pressure I received to then posting a refferal/rating online. I feel this insistance scews the validity of these sites for the public. Over all the services were not bad per say (as I said minially satisfactory) but would not refer this inspector to any family or friends.

Company Response:

Dan, I’m very sorry that you feel the experience was somewhat dissatisfying. I did spend extra time answering questions with you and your family during and after the inspection. In response to the issues that you mentioned, I feel some explanation is warranted: The ice machine: appliances were not checked as part of this home inspection, this is partly due to the fact that an appliance may have worked at the time of the inspection but does not at the time of possession and some appliances are not included in the sale. Dishwasher: Both during the inspection and clearly stated in the report was discussion that most aspects of the kitchen reno were done poorly and unprofessionally. Vacuum outlets: Often electrical and vacuum outlets are blocked by furniture and only a representative sample is checked. Ant activity: Ants are not active in the winter and early spring and evidence of any activity was not visible at the time of the inspection. The purpose of a home inspection is to find major concerns not to make a detailed ‘honey do’ list. I appreciate your honest review and believe that it helps to prove the validity of review websites. We send out an email after the inspection as a means of promoting the business, every review is an opportunity to improve how we serve our clients. I’m sorry that you considered my email request to be pressure; I in no way would want anybody to feel pressured to post a review. Please feel free to call in the future if you have any questions. Thank-you Dan

As a first time buyer I'm so glad Accurate Home Inspections was recommended to me by my realtor. The inspector was thorough, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. All of my questions were answered and even took the time to explain everything things at the end of the inspection. The report was presented in a concise and professional layout with the positive attributes, issues and suggested resolutions in detail. Excellent and positive experience!!! It is well worth every single penny paid for.

My wife and I are firs-time homebuyers and know very little about house.The inspector was very friendly in answering questions and doing a great job. We received the detailed inspection report which is very helpful for us. We will recommend Accurate Home Inspection to our friends.

I used Accurate Home Inspection to assist me with the purchase of my new home. Being that this was my first ever home inspection, and my first ever home, I found the inspection to be extremely helpful in helping me better understand the functions and maintenance requried for my new home. The inspector was very knowledgeabale, and was able to answer all of my questions in a very simple manner that I would understand. I feel a lot more comfortable now in my upcoming move to my new home!

The home inspector was great. Took their time looking over all aspects of the property. Not only identified issues, but also suggested remedies. Received the final report the same day and was even available for a late night phone call to go over the report.

Our technicial came with a terrific background....a journeyman carperter, lots of experience in renos, roofing, even log home construction. While our home being inspected is only 9 years old the technician still took the time to check all important areas of possible concern.........both outside and inside the home. What I most appreciated were all the helpful little tips she provided, both verbal and printed, that will ensure that we will enjoy our new home for many years to come. Pleasant personality and very thorough

Our inspector was on time, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and gave us great value in terms of what we were able to take home with us. Not only did we get a great inspection but we got information that will save us money and trouble in years to come.

First time using a "Professional Inspector" and professional is what I got! Very organized, detailed and thorough enough to give me the confidence in the condition of the home. Would absolutely recommend Accurate Home Inspection to others.
