inspection for Tarion one year warranty

Great team! Phil and Randy are very detailed and provided me with a list of items that needed repair. I would not have known about most of these items by myself.
Would definitely recommend Acker Home Inspection to anyone looking for a great job done!

30 Day Inspection

We got the keys to the new house and Phil and his assistant came over the next day to help complete our 30 day inspection. Boy I am so glad we did and we didn't wait a day later. In the rush of things, even big builders can make mistakes. If Phil and his assistant did not catch those early on - we would have been in big trouble down the road!

Thank you guys so much for your professionalism and great spirit. It was a pleasure to meet you both and will definitely be recommending you to all my friends and family.

Thank you, Gadear, for the privilege of inspecting your brand-new home. In addition to performing inspections, it is also my objective to educate. I trust that now that you have come to know your home better, that I was able to give you useful information on maintaining your home.

Year end inspection

Phil and his assistant were very professional and knowledgable. They pointed out things that I would have for sure missed, in all they identified some 30 outstanding items which were of major concern. I would highly encourage new homebuyers to enlist his services.

New House Inspection Ottawa

Aug 2016. Outstanding service and product - professional and knowledgeable. The report with pics produced on site, configured for Tarion new home warranty. Recently sold house in Toronto. Used Carson Dunlop, one of the first and largest home inspection companies. Acker provided much better product. Well done Phil!

Home Inspection

From the time we called to the final report in our hands - 5 days and all transactions handled professionally. I accompanied Phil throughout the inspection and he explained the process and observations as we went along. Very thorough. Price is competitive. I could find nothing negative to say at all.

Very knowledgable, clear, and scientific

Acker Home Inspection put me at ease regarding my 1yr inspection. They were accommodating and up front with what to expect prior to the visit.

During the visit they were very professional and thorough. They provided me both layman and scientific forms of knowledge to adjust to my new homeowner understanding and background.

Little did I know when I mentioned I was having Heating/Cooling issues they would know so much. I was making my own recordings but they had a better method and a form in their toolset I could follow so I could validate what we were experiencing and put it in a quantitative format. That alone was worth the visit for me although I received much more.

Home Inspection - Amazing Service

I recently had a home inspection with Phil and Randy. They are an amazing team and walked me through everything in the house. Before I left the inspection, they had put together a defect log with pictures and details on their recommendations for fixes required on the home. I was blown away by the services they provided, exceeded my expectations and would recommend to everyone buying a house!

1950s House

We hired Acker to conduct a home inspection for a house my mother wanted to make an offer on. Their team was prompt, friendly, and professional. They pointed out a number of features of the house (both good and bad). Before leaving the inspection, they provided a print out of the serious issues that need to be addressed immediately, and a link to download the full report. We would recommend Acker Home Inspection.

Tarion year-end

Prompt, friendly, professional, courteous, knowledgeable, thorough, informative, all words you are likely to see in reviews for Acker Home Inspection. Phil and Randy have a system that sees them work very well together, so add the word efficient. As I accompanied Phil during the inspection, he encouraged questions , provided maintenance tips, and discussed quality of materials and workmanship. Deficiencies found were relayed (electronically) to Randy. Two of those deficiencies were potentially serious. Before they departed I was provided a printed summary of the deficiencies along with suggestions for completing the warranty claim form and more detailed documents with photos were available to me through a secure link. A family member had recommended Acker Home Inspection and I further researched online. With favourable reviews and thier many years experience conducting thousands of inspections, I am confident in recommending the services of Acker Home Inspection…..Thanks Phil and Randy
