Home Inspection

This company and inspector were terrific. We needed a quick close on the house deal and they came to inspect our new home within 24hours. Their professionalism, promptness, and thorough inspection was extremely impressive. Use of the thermal imaging helped to provide peace of mind with the in floor heating throughout the house. Follow up with the report was same day and turnaround exceeded expectations. I would, without a doubt, recommend their services to anyone.

Thanks Justin,
We got a lucky break, we just had a cancellation right before you called so it was a great fit for both of us! I'm glad that you followed along and participated in the inspection, its a great opportunity to ask important questions. We were really impressed with your builder and that doesn't happen too often, sadly.
Enjoy your home!

Condo Inspection

The inspection was very thoroughly done. I am very pleased with the experience. When I arrived the inspector had already done a walk around the outside of the town house and had a few notes to share. They were very friendly and answered all of my questions in detail. I feel very satisfied with the whole experience. I received the inspection report the same day as my inspection and it is very thoroughly done. I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends.

Thanks Susan,
We really appreciate your kind words. Even though your home is a condominium townhouse we still have a look around on the exterior of your unit to see if we find any major concerns, it is the condo boards responsibility to repair the issues but they might not know that they are there.
Enjoy your new home.

Condo Inspection

We are first time home buyers and found a place we liked. Our real estate agent insisted on a home inspection as a clause on the contract. We spent the money and went with it.
The inspector showed up on time with tools in hand ready to get to work. The inspector found items in ten minutes that we would have never known to check. We were shown alot of little things that needed attention, a few things that needed replacement , and 2 things that may have bankrupt us or cost us a relationship.

THIS HOME INSPECTION SAVED US YEARS OF GRIEF. I have sent the business card to friends minutes after the inspection. It was worth 10x the cost. We are for sure using their services again on the next house.

Call them up. Get a home inspection. They literally saved us from 25 years of regrets.

Wow Brian! That's fantastic. Not all home's have issues and probably only 10% of home's have MAJOR Concerns but when they do, they do! We are very glad that we have helped you with that decision. Talk to you soon :-)

Inspection

We found this company on Homestars, and decided to go with them based partly on the excellent ratings & reviews.

Although the inspectors were friendly and personable, they rushed through the inspection like they were late for another more important appointment. The final report was a template mostly full of 'not inspected' comments. Although the inspection was a condo, I expected a more thorough job, especially when the fee turned out to be based on a single hours' worth of work.

Perhaps other inspectors do better work, but our experience was less than satisfactory, and we will not use them again.

Hi Dee,
I'm really sorry that you felt that we rushed through the inspection. I can assure you that we always leave more than ample time for each inspection, we also work with a system with 2 fully qualified CAHPI RHI inspectors at each home/condo, most companies use only one inspector for each inspection which can more than double the duration of an inspection. If we inspect a small, good quality unit, where everything was installed properly and works as it should, then it is of course a quicker inspection. After 1000's of inspections we have become pretty adept at spotting deficiencies and have a pretty efficient system. We've inspected for three generations of the same family all in the same month. Not everyone's inspection will take as long, be as difficult or have as much to find; but we hope to create the same high level of confidence about the information we provide to help with the real estate purchasing decision.
The reason that the comments 'not inspected' are in the report so often for an apartment is because our standards of practice require us to detail items that are not inspected and the reason that items are not inspected is we do not have access to some areas of an apartment complex, for example; there is no access to the attic (you may not even have an attic if there is another apartment above you) so that is 'not inspected', depending on the style of the building we often cannot even see the roof and it is 'not inspected', a proper inspection of the exterior could take an entire week depending on the style of the building so it is also 'not inspected', there are many aspects of the structure that cannot be seen in a finished apartment like the posts and beams because they are behind the drywall so they also are 'not inspected' or not visible.
The fee that we charge is very competitive to the other QUALIFIED inspection companies in Calgary. Keep in mind that the province of Alberta’s standards for an inspector are much lower than CAHPI’s (Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors).
I hope that you enjoy your home and remember that we also offer ourselves to you as free consultants if you have questions after the inspection.

Home Inspection

When we arrived the inspector was already on the roof checking things out. No time was wasted at any point and all our questions were clearly answered. The inspector had excellent communication skills and a great personality.

The report was very detailed and I never expected so much would be covered. Several significant issues were discovered which would have resulted in major future expenses. I am a detailed oriented person and this definitely exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend Accurate Home Inspections to others. The money spent was well worth it. I wish we would have done this for our previous home purchases.

Thank you Joe, You were a great participant in the inspection, you had great questions! It was refreshing to see how much 'home'work you had done to prepare for the inspection.
Good luck!

Home Inspection

Excellent service - would gladly recommend them to anyone requiring a home inspection.

Inspector was punctual, quite thorough and informative - for example, at one point had all the faucets in the upstairs sinks, baths, and showers running all at once to see how the drains would respond. Really appreciated that the inspector explained things to me as we went through the house; they answered any questions I had and explained things without using too much jargon.

Report was made available later that day as promised. Again, thorough and included helpful pictures to illustrate the problems that were identified during the tour through the house. The recall report (check on the major appliances to see if there were any recalls) was a thoughtful addition.

All in all, very satisfied. Would recommend and would use them again.

Home inspection

The inspectors did a very thorough inspection! My farther and boyfriend (both who are in the trades) were impressed with the quality of the inspection. I've used other inspectors in the past, and they were definitely not as thorough as Accurate Home Inspection. The inspectors took the time to review things with me and to answer questions. I would definitely recommend them!

Home Inspection

I found Accurate Home Inspections on the Home Stars site and was very impressed with the high rating they had and I was not disappointed. The inspector knew what they were doing and was incredibly thorough going through our new home as well as professional and friendly. The inspection was done very systematically and the inspector was great at explaining what things meant, what solutions were needed and what was important vs minor aesthetic issues. The report was emailed to us the very same day, was of exceptionally high quality and easy to read/understand. I would highly recommend Accurate Home Inspection to anyone who wants to get a high quality home inspection done!

First time home buyer

I am I first time homebuyer, making myself very new to the realestate market so I was nervous placing an offer on a house but using accurate home inspection eased my mind on the worry of buying a bad house! They send emails of tips and tricks to keeping your energy bills down as well any of your home appliances having any type of recalls. The report walks you through the house with things you would never look at normally as well what things to do or look at doing once in the house or any house! When I end up on the housing market again I will definitely be calling to have the next house inspected by accurate home inspection again!

They were very knowledgeable, professional and the tag team of preparing the report at the same time made it very quick. I felt very confident in my decision to purchase. They even helped us out via email/text on a Sunday! I highly recommend them.
