Home inspection

Rick did a great job with my inspection. He was on time, very friendly, did a thorough job and took the time to explain everything clearly. He also told me what should be done first and approximate costs for fixes. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Pre-purchase home inspection

We've engaged Rick's expertise to inspect the home that we were interested in, had it scheduled at 9 : 00am. We arrived in the site at 8:50am, he was already there started taking photos. He let us ask questions as we go with him during the inspection process, which he answered with clarity, he has recommendation in each issue noted. He was very thorough and detailed as he looks in each area of the house.
We can say this in comparison to the inspector we hired for our first home, and Rick's show of his expertise and professionalism is far more excellent.

Very pleased. Enjoyed the time and learned things too!

I had a good time. Felt it was worth the money. Was a thorough inspection right down to missing screws to hold in the dishwasher. Great sense of humour too which made for a very pleasant way to check out my possible future home. Thanks again!

Home Inspection

Rick was very prompt and early at the appointed time. He went through everything with me during the inspection. He taught me things that a home owner wouldn't normally know, what needs fixing, what can be done to improve the house and much much more.

A very professional home inspector, every time he finished inspecting a portion of the house (with the proper tools) or an appliance (heater/AC/water softener), he explained in detail what he did/inspected, what it means to a home owner and if it needs repairing or improvements. At the end of every inspection and explanation he asked if there was any questions and concerns and we promptly discussed them in detail. I even asked for renovation recommendations and he answered all my questions in detail.

I would recommend Rick to anyone looking for an excellent, professional, courteous, knowledgeable and respectful home inspector. 10/10

Home Inspection

Rick conducted the home inspection for a century home my partner and I are purchasing. He went through the home with us in detail, explaining how concerns or issues would appear in the final report while he walked us through them in person. He differentiated between issues requiring immediate attention and those with less urgency. He was able to answer our questions and gave us the information and confidence we needed to make our decision. Comprehensive and professional. Would recommend.

Home Inspection

Rick's expertise and competency in his field were readily apparent throughout the entire inspection which he conducted on the home we intended to purchase. He provided clear explanations and sound advice for any present or future concerns that were identified. We received the complete and concise written report on the same day as the inspection. Without reservation, we highly recommend Rick as an ethical and trustworthy professional.

Home inspection

The home inspection was incredibly thorough. Rick made us feel comfortable about buying the home, particularly with the moisture readings in the basement. Rick answered all of our questions, he showed us how to make small fixes ourselves, and he gave us estimates of when we would need to get the bigger fixes done.
