Solex Group Professional Home Inspection

I hired the Solex Group after finding them listed with the Better Business Bureau. I found that the service was professional - from the first phone call to the final report. I would recommend Vahn to others in the GTA whenever you are buying or selling a home!

Vahn is very professional and provided a great service. I booked him for pre-purchase inspection. On-line booking is easy and convenient. He was on site before the time and inspected every nook and corner of the house.The report was detailed and easy to understand in addition to what he explained on site. The inspection was very valuable to renegotiate my deal. I would be more than happy to recommend him to any one who wish to have a thorough home inspection.

I wanted to say thank you for the super job you did. I was on the fence for a few days, wondering if I should get an inspection, given that the unit is a condo and that it is relatively new. I'd like to thank you for accommodating me on such short notice (on a Saturday night no less) and providing the report so quickly. You did an excellent job and it was great that you showed me all the things I needed to know about the inner workings of my unit (especially regarding the water cut-offs and the operation of the heat unit). As well, the recommendations you made are very helpful. It was money well spent and I feel quite confident that my unit is in tip top shape. The recallChek service gives me peace of mind for the life of my appliances. This is a great feature. Thank you once again!
Cheers

I needed a home inspection completed pretty quickly so I requested an inspection from the Solex Group via their web site. Vahn emailed me right away letting me know that he would confirm the requested time slot the next business day. Vahn emailed me the next day like he said and provided a quote. On the day of the inspection Vahn showed up on time and explained very clearly how the inspection would work and that it would take around 2 hours. During the inspection Vahn was very thorough and explained everything he found and provided recommendations. Vahn completed the inspection in 2 hours just like he said and then sat down with me and explained all the photos in detail while providing recommendations on fixes. I received a very comprehensive report the next morning. I would highly recommend the Solex Group to everyone.

I called Vahn for a buyer's home inspection after I put in an offer on a house in one of the older parts of Toronto. I chose him instead of one of the larger home inspection companies because of his strong reputation on sites like HomeStars. It was mid-May, which is a really busy time in real estate, but he was still able to schedule a full inspection on short notice.

Vahn arrived early and got straight to work. He worked efficiently and stopped after every phase of the inspection to go over the results with me and my wife. We're first-time home buyers, so he took the time to make sure we understood his findings, and he gave good answers to all of our questions.

He was extremely thorough. For example, some home inspectors check out the roof from the ground with a pair of binoculars, but not Vahn - he pulled out a ladder, climbed up to the second storey roof, and came back down with photos of the chimney, the stack vent, the skylight, and some shingles that had obviously been replaced.

We received a full written report the same day. Every finding was accompanied by a photograph from the property showing exactly what Vahn observed, and plenty of supporting information that explained things in more detail. It's the most detailed home inspection report I've ever seen.

Vahn continued to support us even after he sent the report. We called him with some questions a couple of days later and he took the time to talk with us and make sure we had all the information we wanted.

Vahn was always clear about the limits of his work. Home inspectors are generalists - they're not electricians, or plumbers, or structural engineers. When it comes to major problems, their job is to look for warning signs, not to fully diagnose problems and recommend exactly how they should be fixed. Vahn told us all he could about the house based on his own observations, but he also told us when we needed to follow up with an expert to really get to the bottom of things - that shows integrity and I really appreciate that.

To sum up, Vahn's work was worth every penny we paid for it. We'll definitely hire him again the next time we need a home inspection.

We got our home inspection with Mr. Vahn Balabanian yesterday afternoon. We have to say that he is one of the best inspectors in the town. The house was very old and challenging. Vahn spent 4 hours to check it. We really appreciated his attention to detail throughout the home. He took lots of pictures and explained to us very patiently. He is very experienced and professional, and he is also a very pleasant and friendly person to work with. We are very pleased with his service. We will definitely recommend him to all our friends and family!

We were referred to Vahn and the Solex Group for our new home inspection and was very happy with the service. Vahn was able to set up an inspection on very short notice, which you really need to do when you're working on tight timelines for conditional sales.

Once we arrived for our inspection, Vahn was already there and checking on the outside of the building. He is friendly, and very thorough...will take pictures of anything that could be of concern (from minor to major) and will patiently explain it all to you, including what the problem is, why it happens, its implications, expected lifespan, and whether it you should give it immediate attention or if something should be fixed "as needed, etc. He also takes the time to give you extra tips and recommendations on how to maintain a house, which I found to be very helpful since this will be our first house.

I do also recommend getting the "Extended" package where he will use the thermal scan to identify any weak areas such as raccoons in the attic or insufficient insulation, etc. For the extra $75, it's worth the piece of mind.

Solex's written report is provided to you within 24 hours and is detailed, informative and easy to understand.

I would recommend this inspector to anyone looking to purchase a property.

Vahn was very professional and provided us with many tips on how to improve our potential future home. He was thorough with the home inspection and well as in his report for us. Vahn was patient and methodical in diagnosing an unusual cold spot, which we really appreciated as it didn't leave us hanging with just an observation and no solution.

We needed a home inspection completed during the Christmas holidays, and Solex Group was referred to us by our realtor. The inspector, Vahn, was accommodating and made himself available during this period. When we arrived at the house for the inspection, Vahn was already there and had started the external assessment of the house. After the external assessment, he spent about 45 minutes examining the basement, and another 1 hour for the other floors of the house. We found it helpful that Vahn debriefed us on his findings after completing each phase of his assessment. For areas that were inaccessible, Vahn used his infrared equipment to examine for cold spots. Vahn was very thorough with his inspection and he was very professional throughout the entire process. We received our inspection report that evening and found it to be well laid out, with links to various webpages and documents that expanded on elements discussed within the report. The home inspection report gave us a good sense of the condition of the home and made the decision process much easier.

Buying a house is the most expensive puchase and cruial financial decision a person can made. A honest, good, and well experience Home Inspection professional personnel is needed on this job, This is how to protect our investment in future and save lots of money in the long run. I recommend Solex Group to get the job well done
