    Second inspection with Egbert : Another perfect job!

    This is the second time I hire Egbert and the work done was again perfect and met all my expectations. highly recommend him , no doubt about it. The first time he saved us from buying a condo with electrical issues in the unit and structure issues in the building.

    Answer from pro:

    Nice to meet you this time Paulo. Great deals always come with caveats. Even when you buy a condo you are buying a job. Glad this one worked out!

    Got an Inspection. Saved money on home.

    We hired Egbert to inspect a home we were purchasing. We were reluctant to hire anyone as all the inspectors we've had in the past have been a waste of money. Egbert was not. He came to the house prepared with all the equipment he needed to look at our place. He had a critical eye for the items that were going to cause us the most problems and require attention (either immediately or down the road). He was patient and answered all our questions and explained why something was a big problem that had to be addressed immediately and what were items to watch and fix later. We got his report the same day. It was detailed with both text and pictures and when we provided it to the seller we were able to negotiate the price of our house down $7500.00 from what they had agreed on based on the issues he found. We now also have an idea of what priority we should be tackling the numerous items he found. He was funny (come prepared with Dad jokes!), patient, detailed, professional, and prompt. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Egbert again and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the great review Katrine. When you're buying a house your buying a job. I'm sure you'll find great uses for all the money you saved. How can you tell if a joke is a dad joke? The punchline is a-pparent!

    Garage Inspection

    We had our garage inspected after noticing some water staining on the drywall. Egbert came out and did the inspection. He was very professional and explained everything he was noticing and his initial thoughts. He was extremely knowledgeable and even had some great blonde jokes. The inspection report we received was easy to understand and very thorough. I would highly recommend Diamond Home Inspection to anyone needing some piece of mind.

    Answer from pro:

    Many thanks Kacie. It was great to meet you and those great cats! Good of you to notice what was happening with your garage and deal with it.

    Egbert gave a very detailed report and was very professional. He also gave good and appropriate advice. Egbert came prepared with the correct equipment for the job. He would also point out an issue but give a quick idea of how it would be repaired. Would highly recommend to others!

    Very detailed report, extremely useful, learned tons from Egbert!

    Egbert was very detailed in his inspection and I followed him around the house while he did. The knowledge he shared and jokes he made during that inspection made for an enjoyable experience. We used this report to have an informed decision for our 1 year new home inspection. It really helped us to get some deficiencies in our home uncovered and addressed. Loved that the report had pictures, details and recommendations for fixes. Finally, Egbert gave us the completed report within a few days and we were impressed with the quick turnaround.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Wendy. I know the home inspection is a lot of information in a short time and can be overwhelming, sometimes humour keeps it in perspective. I recommend inspections on new homes, before you have committed all your money. A one year inspection finds the things that show up after the house has been lived in. Both are important!

    Responsive and thorough roof evaluation

    I've had an assortment of roofers come by and take a look at my roof, all reporting that it needed to be replaced without much in the way of detail or pictures as to why. The quotes to repair varied in price by quite a bit. Diamond home inspections provided an independent evaluation including what needed to be repaired immediately and what could wait for a bit. Very professional and experienced company, reasonably priced and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for your kind words KD! I really enjoy my job and helping to understand whats going on with their homes. It was pretty amazing for me to see the difference that the lack of attic ventilation can make on the two different halves of this roof! I look forward to inspecting it after the work is done.

    Very thorough

    Egbert is an excellent inspector who is very detailed orientated and thorough. He was punctual, efficient, and sent us a very thorough report which ultimately helped us make our decision. He knows his stuff, and also many 'Dad jokes'.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for not calling them 'bad jokes'. Glad I got to be a part of this process and that you found all the information useful. There's a lot to be aware of as you decide if, "This is the job we want to buy."
