An inspection report is a written report that your home inspector will provide you after completing your home, cottage, component or outbuilding inspection. The report will include details and photos of any issues that need attention and their potential impact. Severity of issues will also be highlighted, so you know which concerns (if any) need to be expedited. We are always happy to answer any questions you have about your report and ensure you understand it fully!

No, providing repair quotes falls outside the scope of practice of a home inspector. However, we are happy to provide recommendations for various companies that can provide you these quotes.

The cost of an inspection varies greatly depending on many factors involved. By filling out our Free Quote Form, you will provide us all the details we need to provide you with an accurate quote within 24 hours (Monday-Friday). Your quote will cover all expenses incurred for the inspection including the inspection itself, travel costs (depending on location) and taxes. Have questions about your quote?

You are encouraged to be present for the home inspection. Sometimes, clients opt to include their buying or selling agent as well. We encourage clients to ask questions along the way.
