You are in Safe hands with Safe Homes Inspections

Professionalism. Thoroughness. Educational. Concise. Peace of Mind. All words that speak of the commitment to the job that is provided by Safe Homes Canada. Andy is truly one of THE best home inspectors out there. His client driven approach to providing services enabled us to make a well-informed decision on the purchase of our new country dream home back in October. His knowledge and section by section approach to going through a home, coupled with his report/photos and his recommendations for any issues (big or small) was invaluable. Do yourself a favour and call him for your home inspection needs...and he has a great sarcastic wit to boot, which we loved.

Home inspection Wasaga

When buying a house for the first time, there are many things that as a buyer you need to keep in mind. We found out first hand that this is no easy process. Decision time came fast and we needed an expert to provide us with a thorough report of the house we were so interested in. Speaking to Andy from the first time and until we made our decision we felt in safe hands. He was always available and ready to provide an insight in all the questions we had with regards to the house. He went out of his way to make sure we understood what he was doing every step of the way. We learned so much just by following Andy around the property - " There are no stupid question.." He would say.
If you want the inspection done right call Andy!
We definitely recommend his services!

Beyond Expectations

Andy was not only thorough but added a lot of value by providing information about maintaining the property. He was personable and helpful and he even let me know about an out of the way beach nearby that I didn't know about beforehand. A great guy and a great service.

Awesome inspection

We moved into our new home in August and Andy came in to do a very thorough inspection from top to bottom. We spent the afternoon with him going over every element and he explained everything to us in fine detail. He's friendly, up-front, honest and even helped us lock down a roofer to help us fix a leak (which occurred after inspection once we were already moved in, following a bad storm) which was not at all something he had to do for us - but he went above and beyond.

Absolutely recommend his services to anyone looking for inspection services!

Mr Andrew is a very reliable and professional person, from my first phone conversation It's like we've been friends for years, he takes his time inspecting and points every single detail, he's very knowledgeable and honest and is so easy to communicate with and will always be on call to assist you in the future. We love working with him and will always call on him for any advice or help. We've found a life time friend and would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a home inspector.

Our First Home Inspection

My husband and I bought our first home (yay!!) under the condition that it passes a home inspection. We were given Andy's name through our real estate agent, and contacted him right away. When Andy showed up at the house, he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He looked at everything as if it was his own home. The whole inspection was very complete as Andy paid attention to every single detail. A few deficiencies were found and were corrected by the time we moved in.

My husband is very handy, and was not sure if a home inspection was needed since the house was barely 4 years old. He really appreciated how thorough Andy was and was able to learn from him.

All in all, it was a great experience. We would recommend Andy to anyone looking for a home inspection.

Home Inspection

Andrew was not only very thorough and knowledgeable, he was also very friendly and patient. He was able to find three deficiencies in the home that were going to purchase, and they were all corrected at the time of closing. In the end, this could have saved us quite a bit of money. My husband and I would recommend Andrew to anyone who needs a home inspection for sure. We are 100% satisfied!!

Home Inspection

Andy was terrific. We hired him to do a home inspection prior to submitting our year end form to Tarion. He was very professional, thorough, and the report was easy to understand. He took the time to explain every aspect of the inspection. We recommend Andy very highly! We would give him an eleven if we could.

Home Inspection

Andrew is a very knowledgeable gentleman. He welcomes you to join him on his walk about and encourages you to ask questions and give input. Andrew made me feel welcome and comfortable in what is going to be my new home.
Like any other service you would purchase you need to read the contract. There are things that he does not do simply because it requires a specialty certification (septic, plumbing). So, remember to read your contract.
Andrew you were a joy to work with. I will recommend you to anybody and everyone.
Thank you

Thank you very much Yvonne. It was my pleasure. Minor clarification: we did inspect all aspects of the plumbing. The septic expert inspected the septic. Thanks again.

More about Safe Homes Canada

Safe Homes Canada is THE MOST THOROUGH home Inspection company in Canada. And that is PROVABLE. We walk and crawl all the way through attics and crawlspaces, examine all elements fully, while approximately 90% of home inspectors look inside from access points. We also fully inspect roofs - every surface and flashing - all winter long, while most inspectors say they cannot be inspected. Massive change is required in this industry, as there is no requirement for home inspectors - in any association Standard of Practice - to go all the way into attics and crawlspaces. So most home buyers are at risk relating to rotted structure, mould, asbestos, etc.
We are a civil engineering technology-based home inspection company that has been committed to integrity and excellence for a quarter of a century.

Our custom-typed reports are photo-driven, free of generic hyperbole, and grounded in the vernacular of building sciences, and are GUARANTEED.

Here is a simple tip for interviewing home inspectors: ask them exactly how they will inspect the attic. The only correct answer is, 'We go all the way through it, unless it is super-tight, so we can check all sheathing for mould, prod structural wood, and dig test holes for asbestos, bat guano, wood chips, etc.

Don’t risk costly surprises when you buy your next home. Call Safe Homes Canada first!
