Home inspection

David was thorough and showed excellent understanding of older homes. He gave a clear verbal explanation of issues with our home. He also gave rough estimates to fix the problems which is helpful when deciding to purchase the home. His final report was also clear with diagrams of each issue.

Great Service and Knowledge!

We could not be present for the physical inspection on our condo purchase. The timeline from offer to inspection to subject removal was less than a week! David was able to schedule our inspection and provide a report with a quick turn-around. He even went through the report with us later that evening via telephone from start to finish. We were able to ask questions and he provided detailed answers. His knowledge on construction was impressive! Thank you! Highly recommend David and his company!

Home inspection

David performed a home inspection for us today and we cannot be more impressed. We recently completed and got possession of our house and during this crazy market unfortunately we did not get a pre purchase home inspection. We thought it was necessary to get a good handle on the types of renovations we need to do.

David was very professional and knowledgeable. He identified the issues and took the time to clearly explain them to us. He gave us tips and contacts of companies that could help us with the much needed repairs.

Thanks you David! We will definitely be using your services in the future.

home inspection after possession

In today’s red hot real estate market in Greater Vancouver, few home buyers ask for home inspection before a purchase decision is made as they fear that this “subject” would eliminate them from the competition. We purchased a property with no “subject”; however, we decided to do the home inspection after possession just to have a peace of mind. We did google search and contacted a few home inspectors with good recommendations. David was the first one who responded to our email and he was the one who is willing to accommodate our schedule to start the afternoon inspection as early as 12:30 pm on Saturday although he was very busy that day. He arrived on time and performed the inspection in a very organized manner. His is very experienced and knowledgeable as a professional and he is very nice, friendly, and patient as a person. His inspection was thorough and in great detail. He explained to us his findings and provided suggestions for any follow up work. We are very happy to have David as our home inspector and we strongly recommend him as your choice of home inspection services.

Home Inspection

David did an extremely thorough job inspecting a home my husband and I were planning to buy. We have purchased several homes and this experience stands head and shoulders above all others. He was friendly, professional, and, I'll say it again, incredibly thorough. We walked away with comprehensive knowledge and materials about the property. He spent a lot of time with us patiently answering questions and explaining how to resolve issues with the property. We have found our inspector for any future purchases, that's for sure. Thank you David!
