1-Family House Home Inspection

Rick is the man should you ever need a home inspector. His ad is an understatement of the level of quality of service he actually delivers.I was very pleased with the way he did the inspection: thourough, detailed, took the time to look, explained whatever questions we had; and most of all, he has the personal skills, knowledge, competence, tools and equipement to deliver the kind of high quality service customers expect.

Hi Simone, it was the coldest day of the year and it was great that you guys followed along even on the exterior portion of the home inspection! I really enjoy when the buyers take an intrest in the inspection process and think it provides the best experience. Thanks for the kind words and I am confident that you now have a great deal of valuable information to help you make a more informed buying decision.

We hired Rick Strand to do an inspection on a home we were thinking about buying. He pointed out a lot of major deficiencies in the house and saved us from making a big mistake. He did a great job and explained everything very well.

Thanks for the review guys! It was great inspecting with two people that had such a good grasp on residential construction and I'm glad that I could point out some things that helped you to make your decision. I think we were all a little surprised with the number of deficiencies found!

Home Inspection

We could not agree with the reccomendations and reviews for Rick Strand. He provided us with a detailed, thorough inspection that resulted in us avoiding making most likely the biggest mistake of our lives. You could not go wrong with hiring Rick to do your home inspection whether you are a buyer or seller; there is no other home inspector that is such an immaculate professional as Rick and he will provide you with the information you need to buy or sell your next home!

Thanks Jason. Sometimes it is difficult being the bearer of bad news, especially when everything looks so good on the surface. That being said, the best part about my job is being able to provide an un-biased, accurate and complete home inspection to buyers who want an independent and honest opinion on the condition of a house. I am confident that you guys will find another property to fall in love with!

Home Inspection

There's a reason why all the reviews give 10 out of 10. Rick was a true professional. First and foremost he takes the time to explain to you every detail he is observing throughout the inspection (good, bad or just a plain observation). He was very knowledgable and thourough. He inspected our home for 6 hours!

His report offered very specific recommendations for deficiencies that should be addressed immediately, vs. minor details that could be corrected at your discretion.

If you're buying a home it's the biggest purchase you're likely to make. You're better off spending a little extra money to get a guy who gets 10/10 from all his customers.

Thanks Josh, I really enjoyed the day. The large custom luxury homes take a while to inspect as there is lots to look at. Between your realtor, the sceptic guy, the water well guy and myself, you should have some really good information to base your decision on! All the best...

Home Inspection

We are in the process of buying our first home. We received a referral from another home inspector to try Strand Home Inspections. Rick Strand encouraged us to be there during the whole inspection. We stayed the 3 ish hours it took to complete. The more questions we asked, the more we learned. He suggested small improvements that could prevent bigger problems and costs in the future. We were impressed with how thorough and open he was. I would recommend him to friends and family. If you want to know what is going on in your future home, I would use Rick.

Calgary Home Inspection

There is a good reason why a home inspection need take 3 to 4 hours. Rick doesn't overlook anything.

If you're only looking for a real-estate conditional-sale rubber stamp, and can afford to purchase keep a neglected home - stay away. If you REALLY want to know the state of what you are buying, Rick is your man!

Thanks Todd, I am glad that the home inspection on the second house turned up fewer defects. I have never understood why taking 3 or 4 hours to inspect a house would seem unreasonable to some, many people spend more time shopping for new furniture. All the best.

House builder inspection

Rick is an extremely detailed and a professional inspector. You clearly get the impression that his is working for the homeowner and not the builder or the realtor. He is definitely worth it!

I appreciate the review Adam. I strive to keep my home inspections and written reports un-biased, accurate and complete. I do a thorough inspection and report on what I see. Seems simple enough but if a home inspector depends upon real estate agents for referrals, it can become an un-holy alliance. Home buyers should carefully scrutinize any home inspector who has been referred to them by anyone who stands to gain financially from the sale of the property.

Home Inspection

Rick was everything you could ever want in a home inspector. He was super thorough, used an infrared camera, took pictures of everything, and had a great report. I can't say enough good things about him, he was worth every penny. He found 4 major problems in a property we were about to buy, and we will be using him again in the future. He was also available on short notice after Easter weekend, which we very much appreciated. We will never look for another Inspector again- he is the real deal!! He's friendly, knowledgeable, professional, showed up early (and didn't complain about us being late), and only books one inspection per day. We had our report that night! If you're considering hiring anyone else, you're making a mistake.
