Home Inspection of a New Build for Tarion New Home Warranty Purposes
My wife and I were overwhelmed with Tarion's New Home Warranty requirement to submit a 30-day list of deficiencies with a tight deadline looming. We lacked the expertise and time to be able to adequately assess what should be identified as Tarion-related deficiencies except perhaps for some obvious cosmetic issues around the house.
We put in a call to Phil Acker who came to our aid in an extremely timely fashion and conducted a thorough (and I mean thorough!) home inspection. Phil uncovered various deficiencies of all sizes and concerns throughout the house both interior and exterior and produced a detailed report within a few hours. The report, complete with detailed photos, made it easy to complete the Tarion 30-day form.
More importantly, Phil explained to us all aspects of what he was finding as he was doing the inspection. We learned a lot just by listening to him and were so impressed by his expertise but also by his ability to educate us on complex building-related issues in laymen's terms.
If we had not hired Phil to undertake this home inspection we would have missed at least a dozen concerning issues with our new home, issues that would have potentially cost us thousands of dollars going forward.
Phil Acker knows his stuff around all aspects of home building and code requirements and is an absolute expert when it comes to the Tarion New Home Warranty Program. Without reservation we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Acker Home Inspection.

Thank you Jonathon for your feedback. I'm pleased that you felt the benefits of not only my providing inspection services, but also in my being able to educate you about your home and its maintenance needs. To maximize your enjoyment of your home and to minimize ongoing operating costs, its very important to know how system components work, what type of control is required to manage these systems, and the maintenance needs of these components.
