FAQS - What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is part of the path to making a more informed home purchase decision. It is intended to provide peace of mind by offering a technical review of the home. This review usually entails a VISUAL INSPECTION of the major systems and their components, as defined by the enclosed Standards of Practice. A home inspection can help you gain a better understanding of the home, but it is not magic. It is a snapshot of the condition of the home today. Things can, and do, change and a home inspection will not stop those changes from occurring. You are advised to read and understand the written report before you make your final purchase decision.
How long does it take?
A typical inspection takes approx. two hours and we believe our clients should be present during the inspection to address any questions that may arise.
How much does an inspection cost?
The average inspection starts at $425.00 for Semi & Detached houses up to 2800 sq ft in the Durham region. Apartments and Condominiums start at $325.00. Call for additional information and rates. See moreWhat if I'm buying a new hom
What if I'm buying a new home?
Today new home build/purchases are protected under the Tarion Warranty Corporation, (formerly, Ontario New Home Warranty Program). Even with this protection many new homes are built without defects. The builder does not always inspect sub contractor’s work and/or the local municipal inspector cannot always be available during the entire home construction. See more
