Home Inspection

I hired Andy for a home inspection. Andy is knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and punctual. He walked me thru most of his inspection explaining what he sees and pointing out what needs to be done (if necessary). He answered any question I threw at him and made me feel comfortable about my purchase.

Home Inspection

Hired Andy when our original Home inspector flaked on us. We had one day to do an Inspection and firm up on our offer. Andy was very through with his report and left no stone unturned. It was great working with him and I recommend him to anyone looking to get a home inspection.

Home Inspection

Andy provided is with an inspection, and came recommended by our realtor. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, as this was the first inspection I had been able to attend.
Andy was extremely thorough, and made me feel very comfortable and confident in going through with the purchase of our home.
He explained every little detail, and provided solutions to amend each one. He was also very specific in letting us know which details to be aware of regarding the negotiation of purchase, and which ones were minor and could be”quick fixes” that we could leave out and do ourselves.
Being that it was winter, and we had just experienced a thaw and snow cycle, the roof wasn’t visible for proper inspection (although he tried his darnedest anyways)! Despite this, he offered to come back in the spring, and inspect it for us, free of charge!
He left no stone unturned, making us extremely confident in the purchase we made!
Would highly recommend Safe Homes Canada to anyone in need of a home inspection!

Dodged a Bullet

We put a conditional offer down on a home and were excited about it. Safe homes Canada did our home inspection. He was very methodical, talking to me as he went telling me everything he saw as he went. Didn't sugar-coat anything, told me the good aspects of the home as well as the issues he saw and how much he thought it would cost to correct. Found fungal growth and rotten support beams in the crawlspace as he crawled deep under the home where I didn't think he would go. We decided not to go ahead with the sale as the issues identified were far too much trouble than we thought the house was worth. We feel like we dodged a bullet with that home Thanks to Safe Homes Canada. It was my first experience with a home inspector and frankly I wasn't very trusting, I invited a contractor friend of mine along as a second opinion and he agreed with everything the inspector said. I won't need a second opinion next time.

home inspection 10-20 year old home

Andy was thorough in the inspection and provided a detailed list of everything that required fixing from minor to major. He included us in the inspection process answering questions and providing insight where we were curious about his methods. The results were not just an inspection of the house, but a better sense of how to care for and maintain the property going forward.

Great service

Andrew came highly recommended from the realtor and I can see why. Thanks to Andrew I was able to avoid purchasing a home that had a very large and expensive to fix mould problem. Used Andrew's services again and on another home that I ended up purchasing after seeing his report. Couldn't be happier with the service and will be using for any future properties.

Home Inspector

We found Andy 5-6 years ago when purchasing our first home and used him again in a subsequent inspection. Let me just say, you won’t in anyway be disappointed. Andy’s thoroughness and professionalism cant get any better. Well articulated, intelligent, adept in his craft-Andy won’t miss a thing. With a background in engineering you really can’t find a better person to inspect your home then Andy at Safe Homes Canada to put you at ease. Safe Homes Canada also specializes in century homes which is amazing and hard to find someone who really knows what to look for in that type of home. We will use and recommend Andy and his company again and 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!
