What
to Expect
Why hire an inspector? Buying a home is major life-time experience and once you have
bought it is yours. A home inspection will reduce the risk of
buying a dwelling with defects that you are not aware of, and
reduce the stress that buying a home causes. I am a home inspector
and visually inspect for defects. The “HomeReport™” you
receive will assist you in making a knowledgeable decision. What to Expect in a Home Inspection: I will visually inspect the following:
- How the house is situated on the land with an eye to drainage
and clearances.
- The roof using a spectroscope and/or a remote
digital camera and spectrascope
- The exterior
- The basement
- The house structure where it is visible
- The attic
- The heating and air conditioning
- The electrical system
- The plumbing system
- The home interior living space.

What do you get?
- A signed contract between you, the client and myself, outlining
the scope, cost and liability issues of the inspection.
- A written report and home binder detailing the inspection
and setting out defect priority. The report is for your use
only and should not be shared with others without my knowledge
and permission.
- A chance for you to review my digital inspection pictures.
I can supply you with a copy of these photos on a CD or hard
copy for an additional cost.
- Assurance that you are aware of all the visually apparent
defects in the home before you buy.
What I need to inspect your future home:
- I need 2-3 hours access to the house and the vendors report
on current known defects.
- I need permission to take exterior pictures and interior
pictures of defect signs.
- I need at least a half an hour of your time to go through
the report and you would get the most value by accompanying
me on most of the inspection and viewing my digital pictures.
- I need a signed contract before the start of the inspection
and full payment before you receive the report.
What does it cost?
Inspections start at $325 plus HST for a home of 1500 square
feet or smaller with one bathroom and one kitchen.
