Here you will find links to reports from various inspections I have performed.  Immediately
you will recognize that I pride myself on being thorough.  As I mention in my
FAQ
Section,
my report is a communication tool!  I am not knocking those who choose
to use a pre-packaged large-format binder with pages of checklists and hundreds of
pages of house reference material (which few people ever read), I simply believe that
this is not the most effective way to convey my findings to you

I will provide you with a 30 - 60 page report SPECIFICALLY written for YOUR home,
complete with a detailed summary and clear, colour photos detailing any notable areas,
which will verbally and
visually walk you through your home

The following Inspection Reports are ACTUAL reports, altered only so as to not disclose
location and client information.  While the deficiencies that I find vary from home to
home, the one thing that all homes definitely have in common is that they ALL have
deficiencies... Young or old, it does not matter

Don't let this scare you - unless I tell you to be scared! But seriously...
I will never tell
you to buy a home or to NOT buy a home.
 This decision is yours alone to make, as
there are many additional factors that have little to do with the findings of my report.  It
may be the school down the street or the local church; it may be the great neighbors; it
may be that you want a fixer-upper as you recognize the value this can potentially bring.  
What I am saying is that I perceive my job as one of
information gathering and
fact-finding
for you, in order to ensure that you make an informed, empowered
decision.  Do not settle for LESS information!

Please feel free to
contact me if you have any questions about any of the following

Here we have a 15+ year old home.  Lack
of Homeowner maintenance, unqualified
Homeowner modifications, and lack of
Homeowner understanding have led to
some required repairs and potentially
dangerous situations... Particularly in the
areas of Electricity and Heat.
Here we have a nearly-new
home.  Make no mistake, overall
this beautiful home is well-built...
but one small defect (which I
found) would have lead to some
very costly repairs.  Here the
"detective" in me took over.
Every so often an Inspector like me gets a
treat.  I recently performed an inspection
that will most likely rank as one of the
more unique Home Inspections that I will
perform over the next while... maybe ever.

This 12,000 square foot, solid concrete
home was built 100 years ago, and was
originally a BC Hydro Electric Sub Station,
powering an electric passenger rail service
that stretched from the Fraser Valley into
Vancouver, with all stops in between.

That said, if it looks familiar, you may
recognize it as the DREAMCATCHER house,
where the Stephen King movie was filmed.

I saved this home!
A beautiful home layout with a gorgeous
view.  But poor construction methods
and Homeowner modification attempts
equal a shortened design-life and
potentially dangerous conditions.
