Dream home inspection

Another wonderful experience with Andy!

We had our last house and our commercial building inspected by him and all have been amazing. Andy's superpower is attention to detail, combined with in depth knowledge. I'm grateful he has been able to make time for us and make sure we know what we're getting into. Andy's excellent advice and resources make buying a property stress-free and painless!

Tara, what a fantastic review. Until this, I didn't even know I had a superpower. But let's go with that. It was a joy, as always taking care of you and your family. Not just a day at work but lots of laughs, such a great time, while remaining serious about the task at hand. Thank you very very much. I am always here to support moving forward. As you know.

Professional and friendly

Andrew was super professional and thorough in his inspection of the shower unit. He documented everything and would not leave until he was sure all is covered and explained. Highly recommended!

Home Inspection

Recommended by our realtor, Andrew is not only a consummate professional at what he does, but he has what the majority of the industry lacks... which is honesty, integrity, and transparency with his clients. I cannot stress enough that if you are in the market for buying a home, Andrew from Safe Homes Canada really is the best and only choice to get things done right the first time around. He saved my husband Romain and I from a few potential disaster homes. Although our search is currently on hold due to the market, he will be the only inspector we use going forward when we resume our search in 2025. Highly recommend!

I used Safe Homes Canada to do my home inspection for my 2 year Tarion. They were very helpful and supportive. They were professional, and continue to support me even after the inspection was done. I will definitely recommend them.

Home inspection

Very professional and thorough. Andy took the time to inspect all aspects of the home, inside and out. He pointed out a number of items that I'm sure would've been easy for other Inspectors to ignore. Not all items identified were deal breakers on the purchase of the home, for example a misplaced water shutoff valve that although will work, will cause excessive delay waiting for the waterline to purge after shutoff. And then there were other good to know concerns in the event that we undertake renovations in the future.

Home inspection

Andy did my home inspection on my last home and I was happy to call him again for my latest house inspection. Andy is thorough and isnt afraid to get into small spaces or roof tops. He spends the time needed to get to know the space and keeps in contact once its all completed to make sure the homes deficiencies are looked after by trusted professionals.
Great experience, thank you
