    Home Inspection

    Chris was able to conduct a home inspection for us on short notice on a home we ended up purchasing. i've found Chris to be highly responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to work with. After reviewing the report which I received within 24 hours, I had a follow up call to review specific areas and Chris was very accommodating in spending the time to patiently address each concern. I would highly recommend Chris for anyone needing a home inspection.

    Home inspection

    I am the first time house buyer coming from condo so when it comes to a last minute home inspection before closing the sale, it would bring up enormous stress and hassles down the way. While shopping around, I picked someone who was one of those with the best rating and popularity on Yelp, when I called him, he said he wouldn't do it because he doesn't cover my area. Instead, he brought up Chris' name and recommended him for well known expertise and great service, even if Chris was one of his best rivals in the mark. He was correct. Chris showed his great knowledge from experience, very professional and pleasant attitude so that a novice like me when it comes to home inspection didn't feel uncomfortable asking and learning every piece of good info around every corner during the inspection, gave him his honest opinion even about how to initiate fix process if I decided to purchase this house. I invited other professionals for environmental check during the inspection, Chris worked with them, providing them with his inputs and even had them go back in area when he had a different opinion about and they eventually acknowledged it and changed their report. His service didn't end when he emailed the inspection report but continued to help me understand anything I would bring back up from his report or later discovery from site that didn't go in the report. With less than a month left before the completion, I need to research on insurance, fix or anything that is needed and his report is a great reference to provide me a good insight on how to handle the remaining complex tasks. I would recommend Chris for anyone who purchases property and for my future investment without a doubt.

    Home Inspection

    It was a pleasure to have Chris inspect our new home. We were on a tight deadline and Chris was able to book us within 48 hours. His inspection report was extremely detailed and thorough. It was received less than 24 hours after inspection. We have been completing the most serious projects that Chris had Red Flagged, and his assessments and recommendations were spot on. I would highly recommend Chris and his services for your home inspection. Sincerely, Shelley

    home inspection

    Chris did the inspection for our new home several months ago, since it's a very old house, we are very concerned about the quality of the house. Before purchasing it, we need to know if this house is in good condition or there are any potential risks which might prevent us from buying it. Chris did an excellent job, he is very professional, detail-oriented and willing to address any concerns we have. Another thing I'd like to stress out is the inspection report, which is over 70 pages, covers almost everything we need-- great reference for home renos and repairs. Will definitely recommend him to friends.

    Answer from pro:

    Cathy, Thanks taking the time to put your thoughts into this review. Yes our reports are comprehensive but most find them quite easy to get through. I am glad to hear you will be using it to determine some of your maintenance needs going forward. I look forward to hearing from your friends. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

    Condo inspection

    Chris was very accommodating in scheduling the appointment with my realtor. The inspection was very thorough, objective, and informative. Since I couldn't attend the inspection, Chris spent time with me over the phone to review the report and provided me with detailed explanations helping me to set priorities in the repairs. I will definitely call Chris again for my next purchase.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi H&C, It always nice to meet clients face to face. When that’s not possible it is great to know that our reporting system and telephone summary were enough to put you at ease. Good luck with your Burnaby condo. Sincerely, Chris Thompson
