High Rated Home Inspector in Scarborough

In less than 24 hours after an accepted offer to purchase a home Dave was able to come through in the clutch to help make our deadline to waive conditions. He was early and already working on the exterior when we showed up.

Going through home inspections is part of a nerve-wrecking process! Dave was so patient, walking me through where all the necessary components, filters and valves were. He has a very keen eye to detail, where even the little things mattered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Home inspector clipboard brand sketch illustration

Is a Scarborough condo inspection different from a freehold visit?

Yes in scope. High-rise Condo visits focus on the unit systems you own. Townhome Condo visits cover the shared-wall scope that fits that property. Freehold homes get the full major-systems walk. Ask which package fits when you book at (905) 409-0498.

Which page should I use: Scarborough, Markham, or Toronto East?

Use Scarborough for Scarborough addresses. Markham has its own page. Toronto East focuses on East York and nearby Danforth-corridor neighbourhoods, not all of Scarborough. Same inspector either way. Send the address if you are unsure.

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.
