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 comprehensive 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 to make
and 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
reports!

This NEW Townhome had Missing
Downspouts... High-voltage wire
laying loose in the Attic... Damaged
Vapour Barrier in the Attic...
non-functional (and not attached)
Baseboard Heating... the list goes on.
Clearly the Contractor did not
complete the required work, and the
City Building Inspector missed it
Damaged exterior flashing would
have caused wood rot to the
exterior, and a moisture leak
behind the wall in the shower
would have lead to major repairs
and expense in this otherwise
lovely Townhome
Every so often I get a treat.  This "castle"
will most likely rank as one of the more
unique Home Inspections that I will
perform.

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.

Not only did an unscrupulous
contractor
leave sloppy and
unfinished repairs in the Attic of this
Townhome (where the Homeowners
never looked and were unaware),
there were moisture issues in the
Bathroom
This home contained some major
repair issues, beyond cosmetic.  
Major renovation required.  Read on
