High Rated Home Inspector in Whitby

We called Lakeside looking for help finding the cause of water in our basement. Dave came over quickly and was a huge help with our issue. With his guidance, experience, and a cool thermal camera, we found that the water was coming in through a bad basement window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Home inspector clipboard brand sketch illustration

Do you cover Whitby from Port Whitby to the north end?

Yes. Dave inspects homes in Port Whitby, Downtown, Williamsburg, along the Thickson corridor, and in residential pockets near Taunton. If the house is in Brooklin, use the Brooklin page. Same inspector. Send the address and he'll confirm a time that fits.

Do you inspect new builds and warranty homes in Whitby?

Yes. New Home Warranty visits are available when the timing still helps. Townhome Condo and High-rise Condo packages cover the unit systems that apply. Tell Dave the possession or warranty window when you book at (905) 409-0498.

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.
