Professional and detailed inspection

Phil provided a detailed home inspection and report. He was able to identify issues which we wouldnt have found for ourselves on our Tarion 30 day list. Money well spent to make sure any issues for your new house is identified and fixed by the builder.

Amazing Home Inspection Team!

Phil and Randy arrived on time and began the inspection right away. I mostly followed Phil around as he checked various systems in the house.

I thought they were very professional and super knowledgeable about everything I asked about. Even though they were a team of two and I could only follow one person I never felt like I missed out on seeing any part of the house. They both made sure I understood everything they found and answered all of my questions.

We had a previous home inspection about 10 years ago with another company that was only 1 person and took about half the time Phil and Randy did. So with this inspection I really felt like it was thorough and we received great value.

I really enjoyed working with them and wouldn't hesitate to reccomend them to anyone looking for a home inpsection.

Great Home Inspection!

Phil and his team came to my home on Friday to perform a 1 year home inspection for our Tarion warranty. There were on time, efficient, walked me through what should be provided by the builder, what shouldnt etc. They did a thorough job ensuring our home was kept to Tarion code and provide a great report afterwards with detailed information and pictures.

Great Home Inspection Team

Great home inspection and great team of 2. They looked the home over closely and found useful items to consider in my home purchase.Was very willing to answer all questions and share knowledge. If you are buying an existing home I can say he is perfect for pointing out all deficiencies.It's clear the team has a lot of experience and found more items than the sellers home inspection. Will always recommend and return to Acker for home inspection services. Look no further you found the best.

Amazing Support for Year End Inspection

I submitted my year-end form with Tarion based on the deficiencies report from Phil. My builder was not willing to resolve some of the major issues listed in the form. The third-party hired by Tarion for the conciliation also felt no need to warrant those issues. At this point, about a year has passed since the inspection with Phil. I assumed that Phil would no longer remember or keep a record of my inspection. However, I didn't have anyone else to reach out to for advice, so I still decided to contact Phil, with little hope that he'll remember my inspection a year ago. To my surprise, Phil kept a record of my inspection and was able to provide advice on who to contact (for instance, contacting the City of Ottawa building inspections department), what information to provide to Tarion and the builder, and what were the options for proceeding forward. Phil also reached out to me and provided me with additional information and support to resolve the issues. With Phils support, my confidence was boosted and I did a Tarion reconciliation. Now, all of my issues are resolved to my satisfaction. I know this is not possible without Phil's advice and support.

2nd year warranty inspection

I really appreciate the inspection work done 2nd year now. This time was special cause I gave Phil a short notice before my due date to submit a warranty form, he really helped me to make the inspection done next day.
The details of the inspection, the final summary and the way they organized the inspection final package was fantastic.
I recommend Acker Home/Phil and his team for inspection job.

It was my pleasure to conduct a return inspection of your home this week. I noted that there were several issues from the first inspection that were not resolved by the builder. It is important to communicate with the builder your expectation that issues need to be resolved correctly and in a timely manner.

Fantastic Company

I would recommend Phil to anyone looking for a home inspection. The report Phil provided me with was very valuable information about the condition of my home, its key systems and components, and its ongoing needs for maintenance. He took the time to explain everything and provided ongoing resources. Buying a new home is a big investment. Highly recommend a home inspection with Acker.
