Why have home inspections?
Most people would agree that buying a home is likely the biggest purchase of your life. A Home Inspection is a process in which the goal is to inform the purchaser of the present condition of the house and minimize the risk to any major potential problems as well as managing repair and maintenance costs. In our opinion it is the best impartial evaluation and advice a potential home owner can have.

Inspection Method
Inspection reports are prepared using the Home Reference Book® (HRB)1, a comprehensive reporting system familiar to the home inspection industry for over 25 years. In addition to providing a clear concise report the HRB is a 400 page document that you will find provides an invaluable source of information on how your house works, repair cost tables, maintenance schedules, a filing system and much more. Many realtors refer to the HRB as the ‘bible of home inspections’. The report is prepared and delivered onsite.
Our Home Inspections are performed to the Standards of Practice and the Code of Ethics of the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI) and Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (OAHI).
Please read the Terms and Conditions of the Home Inspection.
Commercial Inspections are prepared in accordance with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) that include conditions and recommendations for maintenance and capital costs. The report typically requires 3 to 5 business days to complete.
1The Home Reference Book has been developed by Carson Dunlop Ltd© and is one of the industries leading reporting system through-out North-America recognized by the major home inspection associations.
