    Home Inspection

    Chris from Haystack Home Inspections completed a home inspection for us recently. He was very thorough and was nice enough to allow my husband to accompany him. His report was detailed, and again very thorough. The report was emailed to us in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend Chris and would be happy to use him again when we need him.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Alanna, It was a pleasure meeting you. We always welcome clients to attend their inspections. I am so glad you found our service timely and thorough. This so important with the speed of real estate transactions these days. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

    Home Inspector

    Mr. Thompson did a thorough, competent job and has good communication skills. He was available on short notice and followed up both in writing and via phone call. All outstanding issues were dealt with in detail.

    Thanks Andrew, Good communications skills are important to a condo inspection especially when clients are unable to be on site. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

    Home inspection - Best money we could have spent

    It is my pleasure to write my high praise and recommendation of Haystack home inspection to any Buyer or Seller seeking a full and comprehensive home inspection with accompanying report. Chris Thompson of Haystack Home Inspections spent many hours looking over the entire property from roof issues, electrical, plumbing, structural and any other issue that might present an issue. Additionally Chris was aware of the fact we have a 10 month old baby and pointed out safety issues in the home that we never would thought of. Chris took time to explain findings on site and also walk through the inspection report and continues to be available for questions. The level of detail in the report far exceeded my expectations. I truly felt confident to remove subjects and proceed with the purchase of our new home after receiving the home inspection from Haystack. Not a large fee to spend for the peace of mind and findings we were given. Chris provided recommendations for fixing deficiencies in a Tiered system that allows the home owner to focus on priority fixes and deal with deficiencies in the appropriate time. Haystack is responsive, knowledgeable, thorough, timely and provides a report that is easily understood. I have no reservations to recommend Haystack and will continue to use Chris services in the future. Connor Rockandel

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Connor, WOW thanks. It is so nice of you to take the time to write such a glowing review of my company. I'm glad you thought it was the BEST money you spent. We try and take everyone into account when performing inspections including 10 month old babies. As adults we often forget the world looks a whole lot different on all fours. Good luck with you new home and family. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

    Home Inspection = Quick Response + Professional + Quality Work + Excellent Service

    Chris Thompson with Haystack Home Inspections has been a pleasure to work with. With tight turnarounds in the Real Estate market Chris was quick to respond and was able to fit us in with little notice. He is extremely professional and is great to work with. The quality of the home inspection was top notch! What I really liked is that he was willing to take the time during the inspection and show us areas that we should be aware of, including level of urgency to be fixed and what the expected costs may be. Some other inspectors would not allow us to follow along and will only give you a recap at the end. After the inspection the full report showed everything discussed and more, including pictures and risk. Even our Strata Council found this valuable and helped me build the case for an urgent matter. Weeks after the Inspection I received a follow up call from Chris asking if we had any further questions and congratulated us in our purchase. I would highly recommend Haystack Home Inspections.

    2br Inspection

    Hi, we asked Chris to help us with 39 years old 2br condo (concrete building) about a month ago. We found Chris and his company on Internet. Me and my wife looked at reviews and made a phone call. I like the way he talk on the phone. He explained who he is, how long he is in a business and what inspection process will be. Our conversation increase our confidence in him. We decided to go forward and hire him. He arrived on time as he said. He was able to look at the place as a professional and not as a regular buyer (like us). It was interesting to see how he was able to find the issues what we were not able to even think about. During Inspection he explained good and bad element of the building and apartment. He was using regular language so it could be easier for us to understand. He was able to identify few main issues of the building itself. Next morning at 9am, I received a detail report and with images as he promised. Report was clear and didn’t miss any information. Building had few major issues, and thanks to this detail report, we were able to negotiate price a little bit. I would defiantly recommend Chris. Thanks.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Evgeny, So great to hear you were able to negotiate a PRICE REDUCTION after your inspection. That along with the piece of mind it gave you to make the purchase is what Haystack Home Inspections strives for everyday. Good luck. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

    Very Thorough

    We saw a place on a whim and had to move fast. We took possession about 17 days after seeing the place for the first time. Chris made himself available very quickly but we didn't feel like he was rushing his inspection, he was very thorough. He took his time, went through every possible access point and explained very clearly everything he thought needed work or could be a problem down the road. We took many of his suggestions to heart and a year later (purchased 2015) we're still very happy with our purchase. Thanks Chris.

    Answer from pro:

    Wow Darren, This is nice surprise. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review a year after your Vancouver condo inspection. I hope you're happy with the inspection another five and ten years from now. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

    Highly Recommend!

    Chris is very detailed and professional for home inspections. His report is exhaustive and we went ahead with our condo purchase worry-free thanks to him! He sent us the report within a day as promised, he was punctual for the inspection and he gives totally unbiased results which helps you make a sound decision. He also followed up with us a couple of times to ensure we don't have any questions and all is well :) Highly recommend!

    Answer from pro:

    Aarti, Thanks for recognizing I was willing to help you even before the inspection. We take our clients investments very seriously and like to help at all points in their home experience. Our EXHAUSTIVE reports do make some clients WORRY-FREE. I am glad it helped you with your condo purchasing decision. Sincerely, Chris Thompson.

    home/condo pre-purchase inspection

    Considering the very short notice given and the limited time window available, Chris from Haystack was able to deliver. He is very methodical in his practice - from the moment of first contact, subsequent communication, the thorough inspection process, the reporting of findings, and the follow-up. Chris is knowledgeable, confident, and helpful. I'd recommend him to any family member or friend needing professional home inspection.

    Answer from pro:

    Tom, It's always nice to hear you thought I was METHODICAL. Inspections are about so much more than just finding what's wrong during a condo inspection. Communication is probably just as important. I look forward to helping your friends and family in the future. Sincerely, Chris Thompson
