There seems to be some confusion regarding who WEST COAST HOME INSPECTIONS is, due to the fact that there is a second company who uses a similar name as mine. My purpose in writing this is so that you to know exactly who you are hiring.
Above is an image of mine and the other company's business cards. Their registered business name is PROFESSIONAL BUILDING REPORTS LTD. They are not WEST COAST HOME INSPECTIONS, which is my company.
As of April 1st 2009, ALL Home Inspectors in the province of BC were required to be licensed!
It reads "certified journeymen" on the business card, which refers to the individual trade(s) that the inspectors have backgrounds in. In other words, while one may be certified as an electrician, they are not alicensed HOME INSPECTION company.
I'm not trying to discredit them, nor am I saying that this company does not perform a good inspection. What I am saying is that this company is not mine, and that it is not legally licensed to perform Home Inspections, which is a requirement in this province.
I hope this alleviates some of the confusion.
