About Lakeside Home Inspections
Dave Smith, CPI
OWNER / HOME INSPECTOR
Lakeside Home Inspections is built on three simple cornerstones: Quality, Integrity, and Honesty — values that have guided the company through more than 15 years and 2,000 home inspections.
As a Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) with InterNACHI, fully insured, and the sole inspector at Lakeside H.I., Dave brings 30 years of hands-on experience — including a prior trades background — to every home examined across Durham Region & the Eastern GTA.
Each inspection is approached as if the home belonged to family — delivering thorough, honest findings without unnecessary alarm, so you walk away informed, educated, and confident about any issues and how to address them.
Welcome to the Lakeside family!
