Tarion - 12 months inspection

Very professional and thorough. I was explained in every detail about the scope of work before signing the contract. Phil comes well equipped, works fast and efficiently. He even brings his own printer and produces the report on the spot. In the end, he e-mailed me a set of documents including a copy of the report and all forms and guides to facilitate filling out the warranty forms.
Phenomenal service!

Thank you Michael. I'm glad you're seeing the value we bring to each inspection by having the inspection files prepared while we're still at the home we're inspecting.

Home Inspection

This is the 4th time Acker Home Inspection has inspected one of my homes. This time was in preparation for the Tarion New Home one year inspection. In a previous house in Stittsville, Phil found numerous issues which the builder (Mattamy) had to address under the Warranty. I estimate the cost of repairs at over $16,000.00! Most of the items I would have missed. This latest inspection only uncovered 13 deficiencies but those will equal savings of at least 10 times the cost of inspection.

Phil Acker and his staff are professional, thorough and produce easy to use reports with photos which can be accessed online in a format compatible with Tarion's reporting requirements.

Home inspection

I was really impressed by the home inspection that Mr. Acker provided. He was very friendly, personable and really knowledgeable about all aspects of the home. He took the time to answer all of my questions, he provided lots of feedback and suggestions along the way, and his final report was very detailed including pictures and suggestions on how to fix the issues. I would definitely recommend Mr. Acker and will use his services again in the future. Thank you!

1 year home inspection

Amazing work by Mr. Acker. He is so patient, took me around the house and showed me all the different things he was looking at. Also told me what filters needs to be changed/washed and how often it needs to be done. Great people and great work.

Re-Sale home inspection

It was a good experience and he and his team straight away identified a leak in the ceiling and also pointed out the root cause of the leak. His service is very good and does a good job in explaining what we are checking and what needs to be kept in mind going forward. Will surely recommend his service to my friends.
