AllMax Home Inspection

We purchased an older home and had some environmental tests done. One of the tests was an asbestos air test, which came back as positive, with high levels of asbestos found in every floor of the house. Naturally we were really upset and freaked out.

The environmental tester was going to come back the following week to look for bulk samples to take to find the source of asbestos, but we wanted for someone to look right away. I started to call other environmental testers, and to my surprise, found out that what the original tester failed to tell us was that the test he took did not actually find asbestos, but fibers in the air, which may or may not be asbestos, and that there is another test (a TEM test), that will specifically look for asbestos fibers.

One of the several companies that told me this was Alan from AllMax Home Inspection - I went with him because he seemed pragmatic and knowledgeable, and offered a fair price for the test.

He was able to come relatively quickly, and ran the tests for us, which came back negative to our relief.

One thing we did find was asbestos wrapped around some of our ducts running up the walls, which he bulk tested (for a reasonable price as well). Based on the location of the asbestos, Alan recommended we seal it off since it would have been more costly and dangerous to remove. We had a remediator come in to get another opinion, and he recommended the same thing.

Overall, Alan was very knowledgable, helpful, and was cost conscious in his recommendations for remediation. He even did a brief walk around of our house, pointing out things the home inspector missed at no additional charge.

I would recommend him again.

My wife and I chose AllMax for a pre-purchase home inspection based on the positive reviews we saw, and we found Alan to be very friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. He answered all of our questions and provided a very detailed report. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection.

We bought a brand new house,and it's closing date was in mid April this year. The major reason we want a BRAND NEW house is we want a peace of mind, unfortunately we were let down. We feel really mad from our builder, that's why we had Alan to have our house inspected.
His expertise at least made us clear how deficiencies our house had, and we also were taught a lot of professional advice and knowledge. He even gave us a fatal solution in case builder might make decision to dump us. Had not we invited his visit, all those he generous offered we would never have had any chance to get to know it. According to his report, we are way more confident to show our builder, and to get what we should deserve. Alan, I'll update our newly progress with builder in here.
Furthermore, our friend who just bought a new house in Milton need home inspection, we instantly referred you to him. Sooner or later he will contact you, his name is Ming.
Finally, your charge is fair.
Thank you again. Hope your business will get hotter and hotter. Don't leave this area if some day we need you again.

Alan came as promised, did a thorough inspection, found the main problems and sent the written report the same day. As a result of his report we got a $10,000. price adjustment from the Vendor! His report is quite detailed (58 pages) chock full of good advice. We will keep it for years.

Alan, from the start was enthusiastic and ready to educate us on what he would be inspecting and why.

He took the time to answer our questions whether they were silly or valid, he never made us feel out of place and ensured that we appreciated any feedback he was giving.

He was thorough without slowing to a crawl. He wasn't shy to push back on our concerns and personal "reno" decisions. He is a very busy guy but at the same time made it obvious that for that few hours, we were his only clients. And the best part...he had the report sent to us that evening, which I did not expect.

My agent uses them/him all the time and going forward I will gladly recommend Alan and AllMax to my friends and family.

To anyone who has never used a home inspector - you can absolutely hire Alan and AllMax with confidence.

Allen from AllMax did a proffesional job in inpecting my new home; Very good experience; As a first time home buyer we've learned a lot from him. Definitly the guy you should be looking for in buying a home. A+

Today I had Alan for my home inspection and I was very much pleased of his in-depth knowledge and professionalism. He inspected and explained us everything in detail. Because of Alan, I saved lots of dollars before buying my house. I would highly recommend him to everyone who need home inspection and I will call him again if I buy another house.

We had Alan came to my new home for a home inspection. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He pointed out and explained every detail of the house in a way that is easy for me to understand. I have seen some home inspectors throw me a bunch of architect terminologies which I have no idea what they meant. But Alan's communication skills made everything easy to understand. Other than the inspection, he also gave me many tips on how to take care of a house. I would strongly recommend Alan for home inspection.

We purchased a home the day before Good Friday, I called Alan up and even with the short notice and the fact that it was a long weekend he still was able to meet us on the Monday to have our home inspection done. He did a very thorough job and made sure to let us know of any problems, what the solution would be and how much it may cost to repair. He checked all aspects of the home and gave us a very detailed report of what we needed to fix or replace. We are very confident in any repairs we have to do going into the home as Alan did a great job in taking us around to the different areas that needed attention and showing us how to repair/replace certain things. Great service, knowledge and after-care.

Called Alan at AllMax up on short notice and he was able to come out at the time I needed.

The home inspection was done extremely professionally and Alan took the time to explain all the potential problem areas. His knowledge is exceptional and the report he compiled was delivered extremely quickly and contained even more detail than I thought possible.

I would highly recommend AllMax and would use them again without reservation.
