It is very important to understand that we look for the positive features of the house
as well as any required repairs or upgrades.
A home does not pass or fail an inspection.  
Our home inspection is strictly confidential and the report belongs to the client.
A more detailed explanation of what is inspected along limitations
are more particularly described in the Standards of Practice
of
Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors.

Our Building Science Expert not only points out concerns, but also
educate the purchasers about the home systems and proper maintenance.

Canadian Real Estate Association(CREA),
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation(CMHC),
Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA)
and Toronto Real Estate Board(TREB) recommend  
REGISTERED HOME INSPECTORS
under the 1994 Province Of Ontario Home Inspectors Act .

All of our expert home Inspectors are well experienced and
fully qualified  Registered Home Inspectors and members of
Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors- Ontario(CAHPI-ON)
Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (OAHI)
&
American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Certified Inspectors,
and dedicated to continually upgrade their knowledge and education
by attending professional educational seminars,
conferences and meetings, every year.

CAHPI is the only national non-profit professional organization
in Canada that rigorously tests home inspectors about
their technical knowledge and diagnostic expertise
prior to joining the organization as well as requiring continuing education
after admission to keep current with new technology and building practices.

Membership in OAHI and the Registered Home Inspector designation
are earned credentials which attest to an inspector's competence and professionalism.
To earn the right to be Registered Home Inspectors (RHI),
inspectors must demonstrate to the OAHI that they have a broad knowledge of construction
and building practices in Ontario and that they have acquired three components for qualification:
basic skills specific to the practice of home inspection; technical background acquired through education
and experience related to building science; and practical home inspection experience
through the performance of at least 200 home inspections to OAHI Standards..

Our Expert Inspectors are extremely knowledgeable
of Greater Toronto Area neighbourhood trends and problems over the past years
as well as the quality and reputation of most local builders.

We are also participating inspectors
for the Federal Government Relocation Program.

Since every house is unique,
our custom narrative report in plain easy to understand language,
not just a check list report of items inspected, is far more comprehensive.

We are dedicated to help our clients with their due diligence
to make sound real estate decisions

Our Inspection Expert provides important maintenance advice and
follow up support to help first time buyers
get acquainted with their new home.

Expert Building Inspection is our only business.
Our Building Science Experts do not perform building repairs or building renovations.
We do not refer clients to specific contractors

Our Building Science Experts have completed
thousands of Commercial, Industrial, Institutional &
Residential Building Inspections, and Home Inspections in Greater Toronto Area
including
Toronto, Markham, Mississauga, Brampton, Ajax, Whitby, Richmond Hill, Stouffville,
Newmarket, Aurora, Vaughan, Woodbridge, Pickering, Oshawa, Scarborough
..

An inspector does not obtain a working knowledge of every system in a home or commercial
property by attending a few days course, or reading a few books. It comes from field
experience and training. Neither warranties nor insurance policies can take the place of
knowledge and experience gained from a hands-on education -- and we have it.
We have helped prospective home buyers avoid costly mistakes.

We are Open Seven Days a Week.

We guarantee that
our well experienced and qualified inspectors
will give you their very best effort.  Our mission is to look out for the best interest of our client by
inspecting every home as if we are the ones buying the home.
Our commitment to our clients has allowed us
to become a leader in building inspection industry.
Our experience and reputation sets us apart from all the rest!

The old adage, "you get what you pay for," has been proven true time and time again.
Don't be overly concerned about paying more for a thorough inspection.
We perform a quality oriented inspection rather than a time and cost limited one.
A low cost poor quality Home Inspection is rarely a bargain.
Lot of Home buyers think all home inspectors are the same
If you looking for the low priced inspectors, you will find the in-experienced, not fully qualified inspectors.
To risk getting a poor home inspection on a half million dollar house by
limiting yourself to the cheapest possible inspector is foolhardy.
We offer a thorough home inspection and superior quality narrative report,
not just a check list report of items inspected, at reasonable price!
Checklist reports consist number of pages with small check boxes where
the inspector ticks off what he supposedly inspected.
Since there is very little room for written comments in checklist reporting system,
inexperienced inspectors use this type of reporting system
due to their limited capacity to provide useful and full information to the home buyer.
If a consumer was going to have surgery or buy a new car he would
pick the best doctor and attempt to get the very best used vehicle.
If you need the best lawyer or doctor to save you from disaster,
you will have to pay more.
The home buyers should consider important issues such as
the education, training and experience of the inspector,
how much of the house and property are actually inspected, what type of report will they receive, or
how long the inspectors have been in business.
The question consumers should be asking themselves here is:
Would they hire a doctor who has only completed very few  operations.  
To become a good inspector requires many years of on site inspections,
learning from each and every inspection. Not all home inspectors are equally created !
Home inspectors know the value of their experience, reputation, qualifications, talent,
attention to detail, the time and detail of the inspection, the quality of the written report,
the extent of consulting and advice that are provided, and charge accordingly.
Our fees are competitive but on average we charge $70 more than
the cheapest in-experienced, not fully qualified inspectors.
It will be your Best $70 you ever spent !
The Home you are buying is not the cheapest Home, but rather a house that you feel represents good value.
We urge you to choose your Home inspector the same way.
Hiring the best home inspector possible is what you want.
If you cannot afford the best home inspector,
how will you afford the deficiencies the low cost, inexperienced home inspector fails to report?
If the owner of a house is willing to pay $8,000 to $20,000 as commission to Real Estate Agents
to sell the house, how much are you willing to pay to find out the true condition of the property?
Do you really want the cheapest, most inexperienced person to inspect
the most expensive purchase you will ever make?
You may even save more money by waiving the inspection!
If the inspection turns up little wrong with the house, you have bought
peace of mind for few hundred dollars ! If the inspection finds serious problems,
your inspection fee could ends up saving you several thousands of dollars.

Additional Visits and Annual After Purchase Maintenance Inspection are charged per our problem analysis
fee schedule.
