Century Home Inspection

We recently had the pleasure of working with Andy for a home inspection on a century home. From start to finish, his expertise and attention to detail were outstanding.

Andy spent nearly six hours meticulously examining every nook and cranny of the 150 year old home. His commitment to a comprehensive inspection was evident, and it ultimately saved us from potential headaches down the road.

Not only did Andy identify existing issues, he but also provided practical solutions and recommendations. His knowledge of historic homes was invaluable.

Throughout the process Andy communicated open and honestly. He patiently answered my questions and ensured we understood the implications of each finding.

Thanks to Andys report, we discovered significant issues that would have been costly to us. while it meant walking away from the purchase, we are grateful for his diligence.

If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, he's your guy. Highly recommend.

Thanks Andy!

Amazing!

Our experience with Andy from Safe Homes Canada was amazing! We reached out to him for an inspection for our first home, and we felt we were in safe and honest hands from day 1. He spend nearly 4 hours with us in our home, inspecting every inch. He explained every single detail about our house with us, detailed any issues he thought may be concerning, and made us feel confident in our purchase. Additionally his written report was incredibly comprehensive, complete with photos of everything he referenced. He assured us we were making the correct purchase at the correct price. Andy has a great personality, we had wonderful conversations throughout the inspection and left feeling like we had made a friend, not just a business decision. We would, without a doubt, recommend him to anyone moving forward.

Home inspection

We had a very professional and comprehensive home inspection done by Andy at Safe Homes Canada. I am familiar with construction and home maintenance - but Andys depth of knowledge and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. The inspection allowed me to make a proper decision on a major real estate investment for my family. As well he provided a detailed list of general maintenance and improvement items (as one will find in any home purchase) that provided me with a template for future improvements to the property. He was honest with his findings, thorough in his inspection and accurate and detailed with his report. Highly recommend his services when making an investment in a newly constructed or re-sale home.

Home Inspection

I was moved to the area by my employer, and they paid for this inspection. With time and market constraints, I wasn't able to see the house before putting in an offer. Andrew inspected the house with a family member present, and guided us through key points of the property over a video call on that family members phone. The inspection was very detailed, including going into confined spaces to check key areas that often go unseen. The inspection report was also extremely thorough and personalized to our needs, and included detailed photographs of every detail that was inspected. With Andrew's thorough inspection we were comfortable with closing on a property we had never seen, and still hadn't seen until the pre-close inspection. We are very happy with our home, and the services provided by Safe Homes Canada.

Home Inspection

I had the please of meeting Andrew at a home inspection preformed on a protentional purchase of a home which I was hired as project manager for a friend of mine. Andrew was recommended for this inspection for his expertise and his inspection met higher than my personal expectation. He preformed a 6 hour thorough and accurate inspection of both the inside and outside of a home that had some much needed TLC. The purchaser had hesitations of this purchase due to it being a modular home. During the inspection, Andrew provided insight to every possible issues in this home, leaving no stone unturned. His even more impressive 46 page report; including photos; was incredible well written and expanded further on issues discussed during the in home inspection. I would definitely recommend Andrew for any home inspection as his knowledge surpasses most by far. This is no 2 hour cosmetic look around inspection. The purchaser of this home felt at ease and confident in continuing on with the purchase of this home; knowing what to expect and simple solutions of correcting some major and not so major issues discovered, pointed out and explained in logical detail by Andrew in person and report base.

Top notch home inspection

My client needed a home inspection quickly before Christmas and only 1 inspector came to mind. Andy made time for us the next day and as always was great. With Andy, you don't get a 30 minute in and out inspection. It's thorough and top notch. Andy takes the time to speak with the clients and let them know what he's seeing and ensures that they understand everything possible. The effort and quality is simply the best and Andy takes as much time as the house needs to make sure that everything has been covered. Even with snow on the roof, up he went to check it out. Attic is fully and thoroughly inspected. When it comes to ensuring my clients are kept happy, I can only trust the best and most professional partners. Andy has epitomized professional and is always my first recommendation for a home inspector.

Buyers Home Inspection

Andy was available to come in for a house inspection at a moments notice. He was very knowledgable and walked me through the whole process. He provided me with valuable information about how to repair and maintain many areas around my soon to be new home. He even went up into the attic. He provided me with a detailed report with everything discussed. He was a great person to work with and I thank him for that. I would definitely recommend him to family and friend and would use his service again.

Home inspection

We had the pleasure of having Andy from Safe homes Canada do our inspection for our first home. He was exceptional, going the extra mile not only to review the entire home and property top to bottom but also giving us detailed reports on every inch of the house with expert advice and recommendations as to what was needed and ways to prevent future issues. Highly recommend using Safe Canada homes if youre looking for a thorough inspection at a great price.

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!
