Home Inspection

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

Hello Rick

I can’t thank you enough for going above and beyond your normal course of action and delivering more than I expected. I am extremely impressed with your punctuality, knowledge, professionalism and above all honesty. At every step during the inspection, you took time to understand and patiently answered my questions. Thank you so much for the detailed inspection report, it has immensely helped me to make an informed decision for the biggest purchase of my life. I have no reservation to refer you to all my contacts, have already recommended you to my friends for their upcoming needs.

Thanks once again & All the Very Best!!

Home Inspection

RHI Home Inspections came to us as a referral from our real estate agent. Rick has done numerous inspections for our agent and she felt very comfortable recommending his company. I was prepared to spend much more money for someone with less accreditation than Rick as this was our biggest purchase ever. Everything you read on his website is absolutely 100 percent true. Rick is a honest down to earth person who tells it exactly as it should be told. He follows a methodical path through the home both inside and outside. What I really liked was Rick taking the time after each area was evaluated to explain in simple terms what he was looking for and what he found and lastly his recommendation going forward. Yes, you get all of this in the very detailed inspection report but to actually have it explained to you is a true bonus. Rick is not only knowledgeable but courteous and arrived exactly on time. We've all seen the Home Inspection shows on TV. Rick does not tear down walls or ceilings but his infra red camera and mould detection devices go just as far without the intrusion. I left the inspection feeling like I got double what I paid for and then some. You owe it to yourself to hire Rick for your inspection.

Home Inspection

I have been involved in a few home inspections previously so knew what to expect. I found Rick through the internet and his reviews looked good so decided to give him a try. I arrived a bit early to find him already checking out the roof. Throughout the whole process Rick was very professional, and all explanations were clear and informative, His extensive experience both in doing the inspection and in explaining everything clearly shows. The report received via email shortly after the inspection was complete and a very good summary of all the issues. All told I have nothing negative at all to say. I will definitely call on Rick again the next time I need a house inspection.

Home Inspection

Rick came to do my home inspection on a home I was looking to buy. He was SO thorough and took the time to explain everything to me that we were seeing as well as what changes/updates I should be doing to the house. I was worried I wouldn't remember everything but he promised he would have everything written down for me in a report.

Within a few hours I had an electronic copy of the report along with photos and diagrams of everything we'd discussed in my inbox.

Thanks Rick!

Home inspection

This is the second time we have used Rick for our home inspection. He is affordable, always on time, and is very easy to gey aling with. We like how he takes the time to point everything out, explains the problem, and even gives suggestions in how to fix it. I would ddefinitely (and have) recommend Rick to friends and family for home inspections. Thanks again Rick!

Home inspection

Best home inspector ever. We used his service twice in the past year on the purchases of two homes. He notices everything and is willing to take the time to explain every little thing, even things that are unrelated to a home inspection (like how to set the time for a water softener, or how to empty a central vac unit, or how to change all different filters). His reports are also very detailed and filled with pictures, recommendations, and even instructions on how to fix problems.

He's also the best priced and most flexible with scheduling in the entire Kitchener/Cambridge/Guelph/Waterloo area.

We wouldn't think of going with anyone else. If we could give him 12 stars out of 10 we would!

Home Inspection

I had an excellent experience with Rick! His home inspection was thorough and very informative. He is extremely knowledgeable and educated me to issues that may come up in our new home over the next few years. He also provided a detailed report with plenty of photos that essentially is the manual to my new home. Most importantly, Rick helped me to feel confident in my decision to purchase this home. I highly recommend Rick to anybody looking to buy a home.
