Experienced, thorough & honest - passionate about protecting buyers

When I decided to put an offer in on a century home built in the 1890s I knew I needed to bring in a specialist who is very experienced, thorough and honest. Andy is those things and the best at what he does because he has a deep passion for it, which fuels a strong commitment to protecting and informing buyers. I learned so much from Andy and I will continue to benefit from that. Plus, he made the experience an adventure!

Excellent Service!!

Our real estate lined up our home inspection with Andrew and were so glad she did. Andrew was incredibly friendly, and in the inspection incredibly thorough. He climbed into our roof attic space and all the other crawl spaces. His level of expertise was so appreciated. And he also spoke about how he is a rarity in the industry because hes honest and without alterior motives. His purpose is to serve the home buyer and make sure they know exactly what they are getting into. He also offered to share any trades that he felt were quality and reasonably price which I really appreciated. Highly highly recommend him!

Home inspection

It's Andrew or nobody! He's the only home inspector we trust. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to inspect every aspect of the home. He doesn't leave a stone unturned. He will literally cram himself into a tiny opening to get up into the attic for a thorough inspection. He explains all issues with the home and how they can be fixed. He answers any questions we have and has become a valuable resource for us. On top of that, he's responsive, patient and an absolute joy to work with.

Best Home Inspector Out There!!

Andy if by for the most thorough and honest house inspector I've come across. He will ensure he finds everything visibly possible and spends the time to ensure you know what your getting into when purchasing your home! As a contractor myself he even shocked me with all the things he thought of and his report was so detailed and thorough. I will definitely be using him again in the future!!

Amazing

Andy inspected my house in winter, and went up to the roof on a windy day and knocked the snow off to look at the shingles.

I think he might be the GOAT of home inspection.

Phone him if you are buying a house!

Most passionate property inspector !

Andy is the most passionate inspector you can find. He inspected a 7-Plex property for me and he was on site for 7-8 hours. His report is not cookie cutter using a software but hand typed in a word document. I'd engage Andy again on future purchases.

Pre-purchase home Inspection

I have worked with Andrew on a couple purchases. Andrew walks through the entire property, walks the entire attic, professional and pays attention to detail. He advises what needs to be done in thorough fashion. On my first purchase, Andrew noticed that the gas fireplace as burning too hot and it was heating the drywall that surrounded it - which led to the seller repairing before closing.
As well, Andrew has been kind enough to offer advice on potential homes - especially when it comes to century homes he has provided guidance in advance very helpful especially during 2020/21 when there were bidding wars on properties without pre- inspections provided.
Great for follow up questions. Would definitely recommend to anyone about to purchase a property- he has your back.

Home Inspection-No substitution for experience

We were introduced to Andy over 12 years ago and have used his services twice in 2022. Andys experience and utilization of the most relevant equipment saved us from buying a home with foundation damage. Andy patiently explained all the details no matter the size and offered sage advise to help us navigate and protect our largest investment. In an industry full of commissioned salespeople following the flow of the market it was refreshing to see Andys integrity shine through.
Thank you Safe Homes Canada!

More about Safe Homes Canada

Safe Homes Canada is THE MOST THOROUGH home Inspection company in Canada. And that is PROVABLE. We walk and crawl all the way through attics and crawlspaces, examine all elements fully, while approximately 90% of home inspectors look inside from access points. We also fully inspect roofs - every surface and flashing - all winter long, while most inspectors say they cannot be inspected. Massive change is required in this industry, as there is no requirement for home inspectors - in any association Standard of Practice - to go all the way into attics and crawlspaces. So most home buyers are at risk relating to rotted structure, mould, asbestos, etc.
We are a civil engineering technology-based home inspection company that has been committed to integrity and excellence for a quarter of a century.

Our custom-typed reports are photo-driven, free of generic hyperbole, and grounded in the vernacular of building sciences, and are GUARANTEED.

Here is a simple tip for interviewing home inspectors: ask them exactly how they will inspect the attic. The only correct answer is, 'We go all the way through it, unless it is super-tight, so we can check all sheathing for mould, prod structural wood, and dig test holes for asbestos, bat guano, wood chips, etc.

Don’t risk costly surprises when you buy your next home. Call Safe Homes Canada first!
