Clearview Home & Property Inspections reviews (1904)

I've been working with Tom for the last three years. He's a very detailed home inspector and always great with clients. I would highly recommend him!

Tom did an incredible job with our home inspection. He was extremely patient and thorough throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure working with Tom. He's very personable and professional. My wife and I highly recommend Tom if you need a home inspection.

Tom from Clearview Home Inspections performed a basic home inspection for me in July 2019. Clearview’s service was easy to book and were readily available for the exact time I needed. Tom provided thorough advice and knowledge as he walked us through our new home. He communicated in terms that my wife and I were clearly able to understand. After walking us through his entire inspection, he sent us a report with all of the recommendations for immediate things that required fixing, items that we should monitor in the home and advice for future maintenance and upkeep of our new semi-detached home. We definitely recommend Clearview Home Inspections for anyone considering purchasing a new home.

Tom is a very knowledgeable and experienced inspector: I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to anyone

Our experience with Tom was exceptional from the moment we contacted him until our home inspection was completed. He was very thorough in his work and even completed his report ( which included pictures of each item that was possibly in question) the very same night. He took the time to explain and answer any questions that we had and definitely pointed out infractions ( as well as beneficial and positive elements of the home) that we would have otherwise overlooked. We would definitely recommend!

Tom was very thorough with our inspection, we did not feel rushed at all. He answered all of our questions in detail. He was very friendly and personable and seems very experienced in his trade. We would highly recommend Clearview Home & Property Inspections.

We were very happy with the home inspection Tom from Clearview performed for us. He was very thorough, spending 2.5 hrs in our three bedroom house. Tom took a lot of time to answer our questions and checked in frequently that we were understanding everything. Overall Tom was very professional and personable and we would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection.

DO NOT HIRE CLEARVIEW. My husband and I hired Tom and put our full trust in him, we were first time home buyers and didn’t know what to look for during the inspection process, and so relied on his “expertise”. Tom completely missed a sign of water damage, visible below the kitchen sink, which also had the smell of mold in the unfinished room below it. After closing on the property and discovering the extensive mold damage we asked if he noted anything suspicious and he said no, and that he didn’t take any photos below the kitchen sink because there must have been “things in the way”, meanwhile my husband has a photo taken on the day of the inspection that shows broken drywall and nothing blocking its view. The damage was so bad that the subfloor below the kitchen sink area is ROTTEN. We have had to gut our entire kitchen because the mold spread to the bottom cabinetry in a length of about 5 feet, and we also spent $3000 on mold remediation. Unfortunately we didn’t know the visible signs to look out for, we relied on Tom to do this. Another issue was potential structural issues below our kitchen space. Tom did say to consult a structural engineer however told us that the visit/consult, drawings and the work to fix the issues would be no more than $2000. Well, structural engineers cost about a minimum of $1000, and we’ve had a few contractors price the work between $5000-8000. I would have rather him not tell us any price. Finally, our attic is also under question. The only thing Tom noted was that the previous owners had used the attic space to store their Christmas decorations, completely useless information. Meanwhile, there are bowed 2x6s that are holding the roof up and need reinforcing, there is daylight coming through the attic space which is a clear sign of roof issues, there is an uncapped plumbing pipe leaking methane gas in our attic, ALL MISSED BY TOM. Do not put your trust in this company. Tom’a background is not in contracting work. If you go back on his earliest HomeStars reviews the MAJORITY of them are “assisted reviews” which means he wrote them and sent them to customers for approval. OR the reviews were removed for unknown reasons by HomeStars. VERY ODD. Tom’s lack of due diligence has cost us TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. DO NOT USE HIS SERVICES.

What more can I say? As a first time home buyer there is a lot or unknowns and could result in overwhelming. Tom was punctual and started the process with lots of explanation. He was very detailed and always asked us if we had any questions. Furthermore the report was published for us by 11pm same day and he further answered all extra questions promptly. 10/10! Thanks Tom!

Did great job. Tom is really friendly and patient. Answered my questions and gave helpful suggestions.
