Home Inspection

Vahn Balabian of Solex Group conducted a very professional and thorough inspection of the property we were interested in purchasing.
He inspected every part of the house and took pictures of the problem areas. He explained everything as he inspected the property so that we understand exactly where the problems in the house are situated so that we can take corrective action. He promptly send us a detailed report of the inspection along with pictures. We would certainly recommend his services to our friends who are interested in buying a property especially first time home buyers.

My pleasure Varsha...I'm glad you were satisfied with my service. Yes, the photos in the body of the report really help my clients recall what we saw at the inspection and what was explained verbally on site. For those without a photographic memory, just read the report :) Thanks for the review and for choosing Solex Group.

Home inspection

My wife and I were in the process of purchasing a home and had never gone through a home inspection and did not know what to expect. Vahn was very professional and pleasant through the entire process and gave a lot of helpful tips on improving and maintaining the property in the future. Vahn was very detailed in his explanations and back up any concerns with clear and easy to follow instructions on how to resolve the issues found during the inspection. I high recommend Vahn Balabanian to anyone who is looking for a home inspection or even direction on improving the maintenance of a home. I was extremely satisfied. Thank you Vahn

You are welcome Paul. It means a lot to me when a client takes the time to share their experience and post a review on HomeStars. It's a good way to identify those that actually provide value and are focused on customer satisfaction. And honestly? This is a great way to find an inspector that is truly impartial and not "tied to agents" as their source for client referrals. On a lighter note, Paul I still can't believe how much your voice sounds like George from Sinefeld!!!
Thanks for the review Paul.

Home Inspection

This was my first experience in obtaining a home inspection. Weeks leading up to the event, I had searched online looking for reviews, consulting with friends and educating myself on what to look for and who to contact. I came across Solex Group and was impressed by the reviews and professional credentials that were found on the website.

Vahn arrived to the property site early, described what I could expect before and after the appointment and thoroughly took his time to inspect the home.

I was impressed with his knowledge and his genuine personality. He spent a considerable amount of time in taking us through all the details - from major to minor. Afterward I was assured I would receive my full report very soon. Within 24 hours I received a comprehensive report, which included pictures (this is very helpful as during the whole process you might forget things) and acted as an easy reference.

This experience was so great for me, and I hope this review provides an assurance to all those seeking a home inspection that you will surely be impressed with the professionalism, attention to detail and competitive pricing that the Solex Group offers.

I have already recommended Solex Group to friends and will definitely call up Vahn should a future property inspection be required.

Thanks Vahn for truly providing excellence in service and standing behind your passion and dedication.

Home Inspection

We were involved in a bidding war (or two!) and were not able to complete a home inspection as one of the conditions. After we moved in we wanted to complete some renos, but wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything important that needed to be done before we went ahead with renos. We had made arrangements with another home inspector that we found on here about 2 weeks in advance, but he canceled on us a couple days before the appointment. I emailed Vahn on Friday night at midnight and he got back to me right away and was able to squeeze me in on the Saturday afternoon after another appointment.

Let me say I was very impressed with Vahn. He was very professional at every step of the way and very honest. He inspected the exterior first and walked us through everything he noted. He then did the interior and walked us through as well. He took about 3.5 hours and it was a very educational. He was very thorough and got our report back to us the next day. He was very knowledgeable and gave us alot of great ideas that we could do and needed to do to make our home safer.

Anyone looking to get a home inspection completed should look no further that Solex Group. Amazing service, honesty and professional all the way. Great job Vahn!

Thanks for the review guys. I'm glad you had a positive experience with my service. It's so hard to compare one company/contractor to the next these days. In the home inspection industry, it's even harder! I'm glad you did your homework and asked questions when you contacted me via telephone. Thanks again for for choosing www.solexgroup.ca and enjoy the house!

Home Inspection

This was my first home inspection although I've heard many stories from friends of their not so good experiences.

I was initially worried that many items would be missed or overlooked or dismissed. Let me reassure you that Vahn was extremely thorough in his inspection. His approach is very professional, he fully inspected each aspect of the home, then carefully walked me through each and every part of house.

Not only did I get a good concept of the quality of the home, but found the experience very educational since I was able to ask Vahn all kinds of questions which he was able to provide answers or suggestions for.

I would highly recommend anyone buying a home to use his services, however, if you are trying to sell your home you may want to look elsewhere since Vahn is a very honest guy!!!

Thanks for the review Sunil. I'm glad you were pleased with my services and that you learned a few things along the way. Yes, some of those issues were eye openers for you I'm sure. But that's some of the "fun" that comes out of a home inspection....finding out what happened in the home from observing various clues. The home inspection process is a serious and important process, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun while we're at it:) Enjoy the home Sunil and thanks for choosing Solex Group Professional Home Inspection!

Home Inspection

This was my first experience going through a home inspection and you can just imagine how important it was to choose the right person.
In my search, I went through different sites and after looking at Vahn's profile, I knew that he was the right guy.
He went over and beyond the standard education required for a home inspector combined with the work experience.
Just like his website, the first contact on site was very pleasant and his explanations on site showed the depth of his knowledge which were over and beyond what you would expect.
I was impressed to receive the final report only a few hours after the inspection. The report was well structured and easy to read thanks to precise pictures that I could relate to the detailed explanations that Vahn provided during the inspection.
If you're thinking of using his services, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks Vahn.

Thanks for your review Didier. Sounds like you did your "homework" before choosing your home inspector. I wish more people would do their do diligence before choosing a home inspector. It is currently an unregulated profession in Ontario. Inspection fees and inspector qualifications vary greatly. It's all "buyer beware". Don't hesitate to contact me if you need any home repair or maintenance advice. Even something such as replacing your furnace, windows, or toilets. I can give you valuable tips to make you a "smart shopper". Again, thanks for choosing Solex Group Professional Home Inspection.

Home Inspection -

Thank you very much for the report. We were very impressed with
your professionalism and quality of the report. I showed it to a few
friends and they too mentioned that they had never seen a inspection
report as thorough and with so many diagrams and pictures. I can assure you that I will be referring Solex Group to our friends who are in the housing market.

Thanks for the feedback Hamid. The reporting system I use is considered to be one of the best in the industry by many professionals. It's not cheap, but the quality is night and day compared to the paper-based reporting systems out there. Who wants to read someone's bad hand writing? Who wants to look over check marked boxes and pages of text with no photos to refer to in the body of the report? My clients love the many diagrams that I plug into each report to help explain common home issues better. Glad you you were satisfied with my service Hamid. Don't forget to call if you have any questions, concerns, or just need some objective advice about something. Thanks again for the review!

Thanks for the feedback Aleysha. Very much appreciated. I'm glad you did your homework when looking for a home inspection company. Not all home inspection companies are created equal! I look forward to helping you out in the future Aleysha (no charge telephone consultation for as long as you own the home). Till then, enjoy the home and thanks for chosing Solex Group.
