New Home Inspection

I had purchased a new home, and my one year tarion warranty was coming up. While doing some online research, I came across the website for Solex Group. I decided to go ahead and hire Vahn based on the information on his webpage and I wasn't disappointed. Turned out to be a very nice guy. Knew what he was looking for and was patient enough to not only answer any questions I had but to go through his findings and explain his concerns about each finding.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review SK. I'm glad you found my service useful and even learned a few things along the way. That's just part of what you get from a Solex Group home inspection....an education about your new home and all it's systems + components. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any technical questions about your home. Thanks again SK!

Solex group professional home inspection

Vahn is truely a professional on home inspection. The way he inspects a home is as it was for his own. He understands it's one of the most expensive financial purchases anyone will ever make. I went with the (Extended) package. I was so well worth it. His report is detailed and accurate with his findings which also includes many links to technical articles and illustrations included. I would recommend him to my family and friends anytime. He a true professional.

Thanks for the feedback Joe. I can't stress how important it is for people looking for a home inspection to evaluate and hire their OWN professional & independent home inspector. I get the occasional agent who contacts me and books and inspection for their client (sometimes it's because "their regular amateur inspector" can't make it)...this is a red flag right off the bat. It shows that the purchaser (the actual client) doesn't prioritize what a professional & ethical home inspector will do for them and/or doesn't understand the conflict of interest that can creep in when their agent is given the authority to not only choose the inspector to be used, but also deal directly with the inspector. This can lead an agent to pressure and in some cases, bully the inspector to minimize/oversee issues and break various rules to ensure the deal goes through. Remember, the agent's focus is on that fat commission cheque.

Home Inspection

Vahn was kinde enough to meet me in Barrie, Ontario for a house inspection outside of his usual territory. He did a thourough inspection of to whole house and saved me from investing in a house with mould. Very nice to talk to and explains cleary what he feels improvements are needed. Sent an amazing detailed report of his findings. Would recommend to anyone and I will be asking him to do my next Home inspection within 10 days.

Home Inspection

My experience with Mr. Vahn Balabanian was more than I could have expected. He is very professional and very thorough in his inspection. He took his time and explained everything to me and provided recommendations during his inspection. His final report on the inspection is also very impressive and detailed. I will use his services again and recommend him to my family members and friends. Thank you again Mr. Balabanian.

Thanks for the review Gordon. Detailed inspections of new homes are important to really learn what's covered by your warranty and what isn't. I also document non-warranty items to help you maintain and possibly upgrade some features of your home during repairs or whenever the need arises. Thanks again for choosing Solex Group Professional Home Inspection.

Home Inspection

Purchasing a home is very nerve racking, you never know what you could be in for. Our experience with Vahn Balabanian, as a home inspector, with The Solex Group Limited was excellent. He was friendly, professional and very thorough. Right away we felt at ease and in good hands. He took the time to keep us involved with every aspect of the inspection. He explained and showed us any findings throughout the inspection. Our experience with Vahn didn’t end at the initial inspection, within 24 hours we received a complete easy to understand report which included diagrams. This will really help when we take possession of our new home. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out, Vahn had also registered all the appliances on a Recall List, if anything comes up, we will be informed. We would certainly request their services again and will definitely refer them to our friends, family and other Realtors when possible.

Thanks for taking the time to post your review Joel & Ida. Although a home inspection is an important and serious process, it doesn't mean we can't have fun during the process. It was definitely a pleasure working for you guys and yes, you were in good hands :) I'm just a phone call or email away if you ever require technical advice on your new home. Thanks again for choosing Solex Group!

buyer inspection

We found Vahn and Solex Group when we were searching for a home inspector online. We found Vahn's review to be very positive. So we hired him as our home inspector for our purchase. Although the purchase did not work out, Vahn's work really impressed us. He spent almost 4 hours and checked everything he could access. He explained the problems he found clearly, and sent us the inspection report the same day. Superb job, Vahn, thank you.

Thanks for choosing Solex Group Professional Home Inspection and even posting a review Terry. I'm not gonna lie, it feels good to be appreciated for what I do for my clients. They are #1! I find a lot of businesses "professionals" overpromise and underdeliver these days. I don't feel comfortable working with that mindset just to drum up business. We strive to remain objective and realistic in our marketing and prefer exceeding our clients expectations in the end. Thanks again Terry!

Thanks for your review Margaret! I'm glad you found great value in a Solex Group home inspection. Yes, that over 400 page home reference e-book is very handy if you ever want to read up on anything about a house. It's filled with hundreds of illustrations and detailed information on just about anything you can think of. Be sure to connect with us on facebook as well Margaret. Best wishes :)

Home Inspection

Vahn has provided 2 Home Inspections for me. The first inspection was in June, 2009, and the second was in November of 2012.

In both cases, I was very please with service Vahn provided. For both inspections, Vahn spent about 3 hours inspecting the home. This includes a full inspection of the exterior (roof, brick work, decks, etc) and interior (basement, electrical, plumbing, attic etc). In both cases, I found Vahn to be very knowledgable. The final report that Vahn provides will not only identify problems, but will also describe the price range and methods in order to fix them.

Most importantly, I find Vahn to be extremely polite and professional. The building industry is full surly individuals, who can be aggressive and rude at times. I always strive to find professionals that I feel comfortable around.

Thanks Vahn.
