Home Inspection

Andrew was very thorough in providing me a home inspection for a home I bought in Richmond Hill. He spent time to investigate the entire home from the basement to the attic, roofing, insulation, etc. He provided a detailed written report which has helped me determine what work was required for the home I purchased.

thank you Andrew

Saved our butts!

Andy saved us from buying a money pit of a home. As first time home buyers we didnt know what to look out for, but Andy walked us through each item step by step and explained everything thoroughly. He really had our best interests in mind when others were pressuring us to close the deal on this house. Andy save us a lot of money and future headaches. Highly recommend!

Inspections and more

Used Andy for our home inspection and he was extremely thorough. Examined every bit of the house in detail. If he was unable to thoroughly inspect something he would bring in an expert who could. On top of the inspection, he was able to manage projects at the new home to get them done correctly and at a great price. Would highly recommend.

If you going to get it done, get it done right!

Been referring Andy to my clients for many years. He does not conduct his work to please me (the agent). He conducts his work and job to ensure the buyer is fully aware of everything. At the end of the day, that is exactly what the service is intended for. Not once have I had a client/buyer call me after closing with an issue that was not discovered or addressed by Andy. His detailed report has supported my further negotiations with sellers and when the sellers request to view the report, they do not argue the discovery. Buyers need to understand how important it is to protect your investment and or to prepare yourself for future expense. I can tell you that Andy's work and knowledge will certainly help you fully see what you are buying into.

Home Inspection

Andrew is the best! When I decided to buy a century old home I knew I would have to find a home inspector who was an expert in century old homes. I did an extensive online search and read through countless websites. Safe Homes Canada stood out amongst the rest. After our first conversation I knew I made the right choice. His knowledge and expertise was apparent right away. He also had a confident, reassuring attitude that put my mind at ease. The home inspection itself was lengthy and thorough. No stone was left unturned. No matter the style or age of the home you are interested in, Andrew is the only home inspector anyone should use.

Best home inspector

It was a complete pleasure working with Andrew for our new home. The work he does is beyond what any other inspector will do. The attention to details in the inspection process and reports, it's truly amazing. I wanted peace of mind when moving into a new house and Andrew assured us of that. I will recommend anyone and everyone to Andrew for their next inspection. A house is a big deal and a big investment, so you want to be sure you're getting a safe space, and for that, you need a trusted inspector. Thank you so much again, Andrew! Will be in touch.

Home Inspection

I can’t imagine buying a house without a home inspection or dealing with anyone other than Safe Homes Canada. Andy is extremely thorough and knowledgeable having years of experience in the business and covered the house from top to bottom including the attic!
At the end of the day it was so reassuring to know I was able to make a well informed decision based on having all the facts!

Home Inspection

We had Andy do the home inspection for our first home. From the moment he walked in and introduced himself, I found him to be very pleasant, which made the process quite enjoyable. He was thorough and knowledgeable, stopping to point certain things out to us and willing to share tips on how to give our home longevity. He made every effort to access and assess all the areas of the home, even those that weren’t easily accessible, going above and beyond, removing shelves to get into the attic space and leaning his ladder against the side of a structure in order to properly view the roof. He was considerate enough to offer to return at a later date to check the heating once the weather changed. He was a pleasure to work with and we were very pleased with his services. He was kind enough to let us know that he’ll be available going forward should we ever need him and that is greatly appreciated! We will definitely work with him again!

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!
