One-year inspection

My one year Tarion submission is coming due. Since this is my first time owning a home, I wanted to contract inspectors who actually knew what to look for. Of the recommendations I received from friends, this company was frequently referred and they did not disappoint - finding 16 items for my list. I would recommend Acker Home Inspections, and actually have since they've come done the work. Thank you.

Phil came to do an inspection on a water leak of a drywall. He checked the roof and the bathroom and gave recommendations on how to investigate the leak.

This was interesting as it involved a bit of detective work to try to figure out the cause of the leak. Thank you, Yutong, for calling me to look into this leak issue.

Excellent home inspection service by Acker Home Inspection

We had Acker Home Inspection come out to all 3 of our homes over the years. Phil and the team are professional, courteous, and thorough. They helped me with my home heating issues with thermal imaging and quickly identified the root cause of the heating issue. Phil also came by a second time to help us identify several additional issues.

Acker Home Inspection is one of the items on our checklist when buying a home:
- Mortgage financing check!
- Home purchase check!
- Home inspection with Phil Acker check!

Would recommend him to anyone!

Home Inspection: Professional, Thorough & Caring...

Phil helped me out with 3 home inspections for us (new & old homes). I would highly recommend his services to anyone as every time he was very punctual, polite, professional and thorough with his inspection work. He took the time to explain everything to us and cared enough to go back to a property couple times on my request to address/revalidate some concerns (free of charge). He has a professional engineering background & decades of experience under his belt and it just shines through his work & the results.

I have also recommended him to close friends/family members and they are all extremely happy with his work. Frankly, I am one of those guys that don't really have the time to write on-line reviews - positive OR negative. Just had to take a minute to do this bit for Phil as he has sincerely helped us out several times. Thanks Phil!
