    Home Inspection

    Chris was courteous, professional, friendly, and came across as one of unwavering integrity. He helped me above and beyond his contractual obligations, concerning himself more with saving me time, trouble, and money than with his personal gain. At the end of the day, his services saved me far more than the cost of his fees. Totally worth it.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Chris, Helping people is why I started this company. I realized there were a great number of people that may have done things differently had they been provide timely accurate information. Yes at times I do go beyond what is strictly required but that is all in hopes of providing clients what they need as opposed to what you said you'd provide. I'm glad you were happy with your inspection. Sincerely, Chris

    Home Inspection

    I am a general contractor that stumbled on his report in a project I was on. I had read Chris's report for a client of mine and thought it was very detailed and thorough. I suggested to my other clients to use Chris as a home inspector as well. I recently had also used him for my own investment property as a second set of eyes. I trust his judgement, detail and expertise. I highly recommend him to all my clients.

    Chris came for a day to do my newly bought home inspection. He was very detailed and professional in his job. All my questions was explained to me in details. I appreciated his patience and attentativeness. A very trustworthy and helpful inspector. Thank you.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for your kind words Grace. Patience is a virtue in most things but especially so in home inspection. As inspectors we need to take sufficient time to investigate issues thoroughly and then explain them so a client is able to understand. I am glad you found your experience with Haystack Home Inspections a positive one. Sincerely, Chris

    Chris was very professional, thorough and great to work with. He provided an in depth report and answered all of our questions. He inspected a condo for us and went from the roof to the basement checking everything out.

    Home Inspection

    Chris was an exceptionally thorough and meticulous inspector with a friendly demeanor and infinite amounts of patience. He answered all of our questions, even the ones we didn't know we had, and took care to explain everything to us in a way that prepared us for future costs and renovations. He even made sure we'd never open our large windows too wide, to protect our daughter from falls. That kind of care and attention was very much appreciated. His home inspection documents were also very nicely laid out, detailed, and in our hands within a day. I look forward to working with Chris with future home purchases.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Lindsay, Thanks for writing. Attention to detail, care, and patience are all part of being a good home inspector. Inspecting your Surrey condo is a privilege and I try hard to live up to that. I hope you are happy in your new home and look forward to helping you with your next one. Sincerely, Chris

    Condo Inspection

    Haystack Home Inspections was extremely professional and thorough. He did a great job inspecting the place, and pointed out issues we never would have foreseen. His report was extremely detailed, clear, and easy to follow. He also reviewed minutes and strata documents, and gave us his general impressions from those. Haystack Home Inspections was vital to our decision to purchase a property. I would highly recommend this inspector!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Jane, I appreciate you taking to time to post a review. Getting down to details and what's not being said can make all the difference in a purchasing decision. There are so many condos in Vancouver that have deferred long term maintenance and it's important to know what you are taking on when you finally decide to remove your subject to inspection. I look forward to working with you again. Sincerely, Chris

    Home inspection prior to purchase. Inspection post renovation.

    Worked with Chris to do the inspection prior to my purchase. Chris was extremely thorough and took the time to explain his findings to me very clearly. I also renovated my suite and wanted to double check the work in my bathroom. I have full confidence in Chris, do I contested him again for a follow up inspection. Again, he did an outstanding, thorough job. You can really see that he has his customers interest as his top priority.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Mike, Thanks I really do have my customers interest as my top priority. While it is great getting paid for a home or condo inspection helping others is a reward in itself. Your renovations look great and I am glad you felt I was the best person to inspect the work done by your contractors. Enjoy your condo and if questions come up please get in touch. Sincerely, Chris

    Home Inspection

    Chris was professional, friendly and thorough. Couldn't have asked for more. After some very bad home inspections with other companies in the past Haystack Home Inspections was a breath of fresh air.

    Answer from pro:
