Zegarra Residential Inspections

Michael was referred to us by my realtor to perform a home inspection with a townhouse. An appointment was scheduled in short notice, Michael arrived to the site perfectly on time and was more than happy to have me shadow him. He was VERY thorough and I've learned a lot from him just by shadowing.

A very detailed report (including areas of suggestions or concerns) was received shortly. Highly recommended!

Michael conducted a town home inspection for me and I am really impressive by how thorough he was. He also spent the time to walk through his findings in great detail to help me make an informed decision. He was also extremely friendly and was able to explain things in an easy-to-understand manner. I would definitely use him again in the future.

Made the appointment in a rush and for a late afternoon start time. Michael was very accommodating and showed up on time. The inspection took about 2 hours. Very thorough and detailed. At the end, he explained all the works he had done and the concerns he encountered. Trustable and reliable service!

I hired Michael Zegarra through a referral made by my realtor, to do a home inspection on the loft I was purchasing in Gastown. Michael was very thorough and helpful. He went through his report with us in a detailed manor, and explained all of his concerns to us in order to make an informed decision on purchasing this property. Michael met all of our expectations, and I would certainly recommend his company to anyone looking for a home inspector.

I was very satisfied that I hired Michael Zegarra to inspect my townhouse. He came highly recommended by a friend of mine who recently hired him to inspect her house. I am a first time home buyer and Michael made the process as stress free as possible by going through the results of his inspection thoroughly but did not make it overwhelming for me. I felt Michael gave me expert and thorough opinions and explanations on each issue. This made it much easier for me to categorize which were the more serious issues that I needed to consider in my decision to purchase and which were not as serious.

Michael provided some honest feedback of the minor issues I might be able to tackle on my own and which I should be calling an expert to look at, which was also very helpful. Thank you once again for your expertise and I will definitely keep you top of mind in the future.

Through my soccer mate friend who happens to be my realtor, I was referred to Michael to inspect my the townhouse I had made an offer. I found Michael very professional and thorough with the inspection. He walked me through the house, room by room and pointed out any areas that required immediate attention. I was very satisfied with his and would recommend him to my friends in the future without hesitation. Thanks Michael you rock.

We were referred to Michael Zegarra through a friend of mine. We contacted Michael in July 2014 to inquire about having a home inspection done for our first home. Michael's manner on the phone was welcoming & calm. Michael explained the entire process very well including his role and welcomed any questions that we had. We were very impressed with Michael’s professionalism, his attention to detail & his willingness to answer all the questions that we had. Michael went through each step with me and gave me a very through description on the walk around inspection of the home. We will definitely refer our friends to Michael Zegarra for home inspection. Thanks Michael & wish you all the best!

This was a first-time home-purchase for us and we really didn't know what to look out for, Michael provided the peace of mind we were looking for, ensuring everything was in good working order. He was very punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and gave us some important tips on the maintenance of our condo.

First, let me say that purchasing a home without an inspection is foolhardy at best; no one wants to be taken by surprise, especially when it can cost them dearly financially as well as cause health problems or physical injury to one's family. That being said, we had high expectations of Michael, as he was recommended by our realtor, and he exceeded all of them. We were extremely glad to have Michael notice an outlet that was incorrectly grounded (not grounded) and a moisture problem in one bathroom, which need to be addressed, et cetera. Throughout the inspection Michael was very professional and offered advice (For example: He gave us a time on how to increase air flow and minimize mold/mildew build up) freely. The hard-copy of the report he provided shortly after completion of the inspection was very thorough and included an overview, well organized and detailed comments, and the photos he had taken during the inspection. He went beyond what one would expect, double checked anything we asked about, explained what he was looking for and why, and addressed any questions or concerns we had. For his inspection and professionalism, we would very gratefully recommend his services to our friends, colleagues, and family.

I am really glad that I got help from Michael for my 2nd home inspection. Michael was very attentive, detail-oriented and responsible. After 1.5 hours inspection, he walked through everything with us in the house and pointed out all the possible risk, which I did not experience at all for my 1st home inspection from another inspector in 2010. I was surprised that he found out very small missing switch for the gas hidden behind the kitchen cabinet. Michael sent over the report very quick at the same day as promised with all the details and suggestions. I highly recommended using Michael's inspection service to anyone!
