Home Inspection in Coquitlam

My realtor has recommended several Home Inspectors to me for my going-to-be new home/apartment. It is pure luck that I pick Michael Zegarra. He is so thorough and detail orientated on the inspection, then walks me through the Strata, pointing out the thing I need to aware with explanation on his findings. Other than the usual practice providing the client an inspection report, he give me a surprise follow-up call to see if I need any further clarification. Also, he is willing to go beyond on providing some handy man to do home reconstruction. Quite an extraordinary customer service provider

Hi Doreen, Thank you very much for leaving a review. I was glad things went smoothly and that I could help with the home-buying process. If I can I always try to provide suggestions of people who can do any repair-work that is needed on the home. It was a pleasure to work with you. Best, Michael

Home Inspection

Michael is professional and thorough. We asked him to inspect a house we were looking to buy. In our experience, here's what you can expect from Michael Zegarra:

1. He'll walk you through everything he's going to do, how he's going to do it, and most importantly why he is going to do it
2. He'll look through every nook and cranny of your potential future home, appliances included, in a non invasive manner, meaning he's not going to carve holes into walls
3. He'll explain his reasoning/thoughts as he is inspecting
4. He'll deliver a comprehensive report shortly after the inspection. In our case it was less than 5 days
5. He'll provide you with recommendations on fixes that should be done, make recommendations as to some other fixes that may have an impact on the long run, and also nice-to-haves

Throughout the process, he will always keep the client informed.

Overall, we are impressed with Michael service. We think that the level of service and quality we received is quite rare in the modern day and age and would and will recommend him to anyone who needs a house inspected.

Residential inspection for a first-time home-buyer

Michael Zegarra is a conscientious, meticulous, and communicative inspector. As a first time buyer, I was extremely impressed by Michael's analysis of the material and construction of the condo I bought. Michael explains everything in detail, giving the right amount of information for clients. Highly recommended!

Home Inspection

Michael did an amazing job. He was in the 3,250 sq. ft. home we planned to buy for a few hours. He really took him time with every aspect of the home. I followed him around during the inspection and he explained all the details to me, made recommendations, and gave advice. He also gave cost estimates for work that needed to be done. Likewise, he was personable, professional and polite. A family member familiar with inspection work told us it was the most thorough report he had ever seen. He encouraged us to contact him with any further concerns, and the report was not only timely but extremely complete. He has equipped us with the best knowledge to make an informed decision on our new home, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a home inspection. We were so happy with his service, and will certainly be calling him for any services needed in the future.

Home Inspection

We were very fortunate to have Michael as our home inspector. As a first time home buyer we were not familiar with the inspection procedure. Michael was very patient and explained everything to us using the language we understand. He did a thorough inspection even though we called him out last minute and it was getting really late. He emailed us a hard copy report the next day as promised and he also gave us a follow up call to answer all the questions we had. On his report he listed each item that requires attention, service or replacement. I was really impressed with the level of service he provided. I will definitely recommend his service to my friends and anyone who's purchasing a property.

Home Inspection

Michael Zegarra was recommended to me by a close family friend and realtor, Jennifer Soon. My fiance and I had a very tight timeline for the inspection and Michael gave us multiple options in order to meet our needs. Being a first time home owner, he was very thorough and clearly explain all the steps involved with me. After explaining that I couldn't meet him in person, he took the time to talk me through all my worries and made me feel at ease with the process. Adam, my fiance, did the inspection walk-through with Michael and only had awesome things to say. Overall, it has been an excellent experience and we have already shared his contact with some of our friends.

Home Inspection

We contacted Michael because he was referred to us by another couple, and it was one of the best decisions we made during our purchasing process. Michael was extremely patient, thorough and worked around our tight schedule. He was professional, courteous and very insightful. Michael took the time to explain every aspect of the home inspection process to us and didn't leave until he made sure we were comfortable with the presentation. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking to buy .

Home inspection

Michael Zegarra was referred to me by my Real Estate friend Jennifer Barry of Remax. We are first time home buyers so we didn't know who to trust to do a good job and I trust her judgement. We had a deadline to get the inspection done and Michael was able to squeeze us in on his already full schedule. I could tell when we got there that he established a friendly rapport with the owner. It was a pleasant experience. He was friendly, professional, efficient and gave us great advice to add value to the home in the future. We learned a lot from him in a short amount of time. His service is reasonably priced for the value that he gives. Other inspectors we checked into didn't offer a life-time contact for future issues for this price. We recommend him above all of the ones that we checked into.

Hi Tina & Dwayne!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
From our last phone conversation, I'm glad both of you are extremely excited with your new home and am sure you'll make use of the extra living space. It was great that your friend (not part of real estate transaction) introduced us and that we were able to help you on short notice. We recommend taking advantage of dryer months coming up to make those improvements to the exterior and roof.

Feel free to contact me for assistance and/or guidance anytime.

Congratulations once again! Sincerely, Michael
