10/10

After calling more than one top rated home inspector on HomeStars, I decided to go with Chris and Haystack Home Inspections. This decision was based solely on our initial phone conversation. Chris was very professional and asked a lot of questions to get all the information he needed. He treats you like a valued customer. He was also very accommodating with the time I requested. Chris arrived early and was very thorough. He would point out certain things to me throughout the inspection, such as where the main water supply switch is, details about the electrical panel, and areas where the laminate flooring was loose. The inspection was completed in about 2.5 hours and I received the report early the next morning by email. His report was very well organized with lots of pictures. He has a rating system for each item to let you know the severity of everything in the report. This makes it easy to prioritize what needs to be addressed. He even had recommendations such as getting a CO (Carbon Monoxide) Alarm. Based on Chris' inspection, I was confident in moving forward with the purchase of the townhome, knowing that the items that needed addressing were not deal breakers. Chris even followed up a few days later to see if I had any questions and ensuring me that I could always contact him if I had any concerns, even months down the road. All in all, I would highly recommend Haystack for all your home inspection needs.

Company Response

Tommy, Thanks so much for your glowing reference, it’s humbling. Tommy you are a valued client, more than that each and every inspection is performed as if you are family. I know that sounds hokey but it is the best way I can think to express that every inspection is our absolute best whether it’s a three hundred thousand dollar condo in Port Coquitlam or a seven million dollar detach home in Vancouver. Your Coquitlam townhome inspection is treated with care and attention. I always think of the Michelin tire commercials as a home inspection is about so much more than foundations and smoke detectors; it’s about family and trust. Thanks for becoming part of our family. Sincerely, Chris Thompson
