We found Darren on the internet and had him come in to do a maintenance home inspection on our 12 year old house. He belongs to the BBB, NACHI, has errors and omissions and general liability insurance plus he completed the Certified Home Inspection programme through Mohawk College. He was very friendly plus he didn't complain when I peppered him with questions for 3.5 hours while my husband and I followed him around. He thoroughly checked out the outside of the house, garage, grading, drainage plus all of the electrical, plumbing, furnace, A/C, attic (he actually went up into the attic and walked around), roof etc. He left a binder with useful information and then he e-mailed us a 14 page report with lots of pictures the next evening. This was very useful because we learned quite alot and we now know what general maintenance issues have to be dealt with in the short and long term. He also gave us general pricing on home repairs in his report plus more detailed ideas of costs for the issues that need to be looked after. I know he also does inspections for buyers and sellers of homes as well as mold testing if it is required. He was very patient and thorough while inspecting everything and it was very useful and informative. He said we could call or e-mail if we have any questions as well. I would definitely hire him again or refer him to friends or neighbours!
