Whenever I need a service guy, I will always go to HomeStar site. What I do is to find the top three best-reviewed guys and hire one of them who suits my schedule. For a home inspection, I did the same.

Chris is very thorough and helpful. He spent quite some time to check every detail. I got the inspection report very promptly. He also told me if I had any question regarding the house, I could consult him in the future. Excellent after-sale services!

I have asked a few business cards from him. I will not hesitate to recommend him to my friends or anybody else who is looking for a good inspector.

Chris is detailed, informative and reliable. He did a very thorough job and took the time to explain everything to us. He a very detailed report the next day even though he was busy with multiple other jobs. Would highly recommend Chris.

Chris was prompt in replying and accommodating in scheduling. His reports are thorough and clear and identified the issues important in making a purchase decision. Definitely recommend Chris to others. JH

I contacted Chris to get an inspection done on a potential condo I was looking at buying. I needed the inspection done within a short time period. He made it work without a problem. After he was done, he sent me a detailed breakdown of the inspection. It was easy to read and understand. He was also available to answer any questions I had. Very good service, I would use him again.

I used Chris for two home inspections in June, 2017.

I was buying a new townhouse, and didn't really think it necessary to have a home inspectrion for a new build. I'm glad I went with Chris. Despite being a new build, he was able to document several deficiencies (crack on the front door, shower not draining, etc) that I wouldn't have noticed on a walk through. My realtor was then able to use these as a negotiating point with the developer.

Chris also did an inspection on the condo I was selling. I believe having the inspection report available for potential buyers helped the condo to sell quickly and above the asking price. It also helped me as a seller to do a few small repairs prior to sale.

Haystack Home Inspections was recommended to me by a trusted friend and I would happily pay that recommendation forward. Professional service, a detailed and thorough inspection (including an extensive and easy to follow PDF) and overall very friendly and approachable service. Look no further, 10/10!

I'm a first time condo buyer and Chris made the entire inspection process significantly less stressful and overwhelming than I expected. He took time to explain what he was doing and was quick to answer all of my questions. His inspection report was excellently laid out and clear. I would certainly recommend his services.

Chris has helped me twice with home inspection. The first time was back in 2014 when I purchased our first house which was a 30+yr old house. His inspection was very thorough. I just sold this house and saw that the other inspector ordered by the buyer was kinda cutting corner, he didnt check the attic nor crawlspace......which made me realized how good Chris is.
The 2nd time was when I purchased an almost 20yr old condo...again, he spent a lot of time to check in and out of the unit....

If I were to buy another property, I will definitely hire him again.

totally satisfied with the work and details, especially the follow up by Chris. Also Chris went beyond the the review and gave suggestions on improvements. He was also courteous and a pleasure to work with.

I'm a potential first-time home buyer and I had a great experience with Haystack Home Inspections. It made me realize that having an inspection brings a lot of peace of mind to the home-buying process. I contacted Chris about a fairly short-notice condo inspection and he was very accommodating.

I thought there wouldn't be much to a condo inspection, but Chris pointed out a lot of things I had never thought to look for. I was present during the inspection and he took the time to answer my (very) numerous questions without ever seeming annoyed or in a rush. He also helped review documents such as strata minutes and depreciation reports that I was provided by the realtor. Chris made recommendations for maintaining the property in the years ahead as well, which I found very helpful.

We live in a housing market that—for most of us—is very difficult to get into. There's so much competition and such large amounts of money involved that it often feels like people will only tell you what you want to hear. It's not that way with Chris; he'll be upfront with you and help you weigh the pros and cons of your potential purchase. I ended up not buying the condo but I will absolutely contact Chris again when I'm ready to make another offer on a property. He's courteous, professional, and very thorough.
