Best home inspector, hands down

David is the best home inspector we have worked with (out of a few). He is meticulous in his inspections, clear in the inspection report, and skilled in answering buyers' questions about the new space. He is deeply knowledgable about all aspects of construction and building codes and can identify any possible problem spots.

Great Inspection

David was a great inspector. Booking was fairly easy, and he spent almost 3 hours thoroughly inspecting the house. The report was issued almost instantaneously. The attic was not initially accessible, so he had to come back a few days later; he was very accommodating with our tight schedule and managed to inspect the attic to our satisfaction. The cost includes an extra trip to the house for the attic.

Hi Paul, thanks so much for leaving this review. It was great to work with you and I'm glad we were able to ultimately get into that attic before your subject removal! Look forward to working with you again in the future. David

Condo purchase

David was very personable, knowledgeable and thorough, and it was an easy process to book an appointment. We are purchasing a condo and David examined and considered the building as a whole, including the shared laundry machines and the parking garage. He even noticed a tiny leak on a high ceiling in the garage, which we'll bring to the attention of the strata to avoid damage to the vehicle. During the inspection, David pointed out issues and suggestions as to the best, easiest or cheapest way to fix it. David also considered the work that has been done on the building as a whole and gave me an estimate of what future additional levies may be incurred for upcoming maintenance and repair work - this was so helpful to plan for future levies, when they may occur and what the cost may be. Before leaving, he reiterated the problem areas, and then we received the report which was very easy to understand. I would highly recommend David as your home inspector.

Home Inspection Services - 10/10 must hire!

We couldn't be more thrilled with David's service. He was extremely thorough and gave us detailed information without overwhelming us. Everything was explained in a thoughtful, straightforward manner and the report (which we were surprised to receive the same day) was next-level. Top-notch service, 10/10 would recommend!
