What is a Home Inspection?
Visual
A home inspection is a visual inspection of the accessible internal and external aspects of the property. This includes systems such as surface grading and drainage, roofing, insulation, ventilation, chimneys, exterior siding, windows and doors, structural integrity, foundation, electrical and plumbing. |
Peace of Mind
A detailed and thorough home inspection by a qualified, objective professional dispels buyer's anxiety, especially for those who have little experience in the construction industry. It's money well-invested and gives the buyer an honest, unbiased report before they purchase. To know what you're buying before you own will give you peace of mind during this difficult process. |
Skill
Our certified home inspectors must complete a comprehensive, intensive course which includes both classroom instruction and field training along with written examinations upon completion. Our inspectors exceed industry standards. |

The Perfect Home?
The perfect home does not exist. This is an important consideration when purchasing a home and arranging for an inspection. Fortunately, many of the problems can be fairly minor and they are all repairable. Some minor problems you may be able to live with, however there are situations which could be financially disastrous. It is important for you to be aware of the problems so that you can make an informed decision when purchasing a home. Our inspectors are all highly trained and will help you gather the information you require to make your decision. You are encouraged to attend the inspection; this allows you to become familiar with the home and learn home maintenance tricks and tips to help you maintain your investment. Overall the inspection gives you the knowledge and the understanding to feel confident making your purchase. |

I hired Canadian Residential Inspection Services and I couldn’t be happier. Allan was punctual, professional, and extremely informative. After doing a thorough inspection, he provided me with a detailed report and walked me through his findings step by step explaining everything in a way that I could understand. Allan was confident, meticulous, and very knowledgeable, even with the unique intricacies that come with an older home. I would highly recommend Allan and Canadian Residential Inspection Services. ~ Natalia V |
