New home review

We were selling our home and I had Safe Homes Canada inspect my homes for any deficiencies that could hinder the sale of my home. Andy the ower of Safe Homes Canada thoroughly went thru each area of our home and let us know what should be upgraded. Many of the items we updated were helpful in the sale of the home when the new owner had their own inspection completed prior to finalizing the sale.

Proper diligence and great expertise

Andy is a knowledgeable, thorough inspector. Not only is he willing to go the extra mile for his clients, crawling into attics and crawlspaces instead of just sending in a camera, his expert advice helped identify what was a true issue and what was simply an area for eventual improvement. I'd recommend him to anyone who cares abimout having an inspection done right.

Home Inspection and more

I recently used Safe Homes Barrie to perform the home inspection on a property in Midhurst, Ontario that I was considering purchasing. I have used home inspectors before but Andrew FAR EXCEEDED any inspection I have previously had. He was thorough in all aspects of the inspection and took the time to explain what was required to make fixes or improvements to any minor defect that he identified or what it would cost to remedy.
I would absolutely recommend Safe Homes Barrie if you want a thorough home inspection

Experienced, thorough & honest - passionate about protecting buyers

When I decided to put an offer in on a century home built in the 1890s I knew I needed to bring in a specialist who is very experienced, thorough and honest. Andy is those things and the best at what he does because he has a deep passion for it, which fuels a strong commitment to protecting and informing buyers. I learned so much from Andy and I will continue to benefit from that. Plus, he made the experience an adventure!

Excellent Service!!

Our real estate lined up our home inspection with Andrew and were so glad she did. Andrew was incredibly friendly, and in the inspection incredibly thorough. He climbed into our roof attic space and all the other crawl spaces. His level of expertise was so appreciated. And he also spoke about how he is a rarity in the industry because hes honest and without alterior motives. His purpose is to serve the home buyer and make sure they know exactly what they are getting into. He also offered to share any trades that he felt were quality and reasonably price which I really appreciated. Highly highly recommend him!

Home inspection

It's Andrew or nobody! He's the only home inspector we trust. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to inspect every aspect of the home. He doesn't leave a stone unturned. He will literally cram himself into a tiny opening to get up into the attic for a thorough inspection. He explains all issues with the home and how they can be fixed. He answers any questions we have and has become a valuable resource for us. On top of that, he's responsive, patient and an absolute joy to work with.

Best Home Inspector Out There!!

Andy if by for the most thorough and honest house inspector I've come across. He will ensure he finds everything visibly possible and spends the time to ensure you know what your getting into when purchasing your home! As a contractor myself he even shocked me with all the things he thought of and his report was so detailed and thorough. I will definitely be using him again in the future!!

More about Safe Homes Canada

Safe Homes Canada is THE MOST THOROUGH home Inspection company in Canada. And that is PROVABLE. We walk and crawl all the way through attics and crawlspaces, examine all elements fully, while approximately 90% of home inspectors look inside from access points. We also fully inspect roofs - every surface and flashing - all winter long, while most inspectors say they cannot be inspected. Massive change is required in this industry, as there is no requirement for home inspectors - in any association Standard of Practice - to go all the way into attics and crawlspaces. So most home buyers are at risk relating to rotted structure, mould, asbestos, etc.
We are a civil engineering technology-based home inspection company that has been committed to integrity and excellence for a quarter of a century.

Our custom-typed reports are photo-driven, free of generic hyperbole, and grounded in the vernacular of building sciences, and are GUARANTEED.

Here is a simple tip for interviewing home inspectors: ask them exactly how they will inspect the attic. The only correct answer is, 'We go all the way through it, unless it is super-tight, so we can check all sheathing for mould, prod structural wood, and dig test holes for asbestos, bat guano, wood chips, etc.

Don’t risk costly surprises when you buy your next home. Call Safe Homes Canada first!
