What is a home inspection and why do I need one?

A home inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of a property’s readily accessible components, designed to identify deficiencies and maintenance needs for the buyer.

Being as informed as possible about the property you’re purchasing is always in your best interest. Understanding the typical lifespans of its components - and how to maintain them properly - is an important part of that knowledge.

How much does it cost & how do I pay?

Home inspection fees vary widely depending on the property's size, location, type, age, and other factors. For the most accurate quote, please provide details about the property so we can discuss it directly.

Payments can be made by credit card, cheque, e-transfer, or cash.

How long is a home inspection?

The length of a home inspection typically ranges from 1 to 2 hours for smaller properties, but can extend longer for larger homes.

Do I need to be there?

While it isn't required that you be present during a home inspection, it is recommended for clarity and to answer any questions you may have about the property.

When will I get my report?

You'll receive your detailed electronic report on the same day as the inspection.
