home inspection

Moving to a resale home is a life changing for me and the last thing I need to know after the move is if there is a major issue about the home I just bought. Rick showed me things I need to know and monitor. The report he made is thorough and clear. The quality of his work and useful tips are all worth it.

Home Inspection

We had our home inspection done by Rick, (the Owner of Real Home Inspections Ontario) in the spring of 2014. Rick was amazing. He was very detailed and professional and he clearly knows his stuff! He also gave us tons of information about how to maintain the house, upgrade things, and save money on maintenance and up-keep. This was our first house and he made us feel much better about our purchase. He also checked the entire house for mould and moisture and he had some very good equipment to check for all of this. He explained everything he was doing and checking as he went and made us feel very comfortable about how to take care of our new home. He went above and beyond in every way. We would highly recommend him to anyone. First time homebuyer, or seasoned investor. If you want to contact us as a reference, feel free to ask Rick. We are Paul and Jen in Kitchener.

Home Inspection

Rick arrived 30 minutes ahead of the appointment, when I arrived already had a good idea of the outside keynotes, had already been on the roof and taken pictures. When I arrived Rick walked me through all good and bad aspects of the outside of the house, answering any questions I had and pointing out things I should know as a first time home owner. When we moved inside Rick used all pieces of technology and knowhow to ensure that everything was inspected and all of my questions were answered. We moved room by room after each Rick would confirm if I had any questions and again would highlight necessary changes as well as recommended. The use of the heat detector and moisture detector proved to be very useful as it highlighted a leak behind drywall which was not seen on the surface upon further inspection there was a small leak around the seal of the upstairs bathroom. I have recommended Rick to multiple friends who are looking to buy a home shortly.

Home Inspection

Rick was very professional and thorough, Rick uses equipment that most inspectors don't have. This gives the home buyer a huge advantage when ensuring there are no issues with the home they are buying. Rick is very knowledgeable and is the epitome of a professional. thank you Rick for a job very well done.

Home Inspection

I found Rick online and was impressed by all the positive reviews he had received. I called him and he was readily available for the inspection. He actually arrived at the place 30 minutes before the appointed time. Buying a home for the first time was making me nervous but after the thorough inspection provided by Rick, I am really confident that I picked the right person. I was impressed by his knowledge and level of detail.

Thanks Rick, it was wonderful to meet with you and for providing an excellent service.

Home inspection

Rick met me as promised on time on location.
Right away Rick started letting me know what he is up to and showed me step for step what to look for. He used easy to understand terms and pictures to show and explain as we went through the whole house.
I have chosen Rick because he includes thermo imaging screening of the house, so we could look into the walls without making a single scratch.
I only knew it from seeing it on TV, let me tell you it is very impressive to see the detail the equipment is able to pick up.

I highly recommend Rick to everyone I know. The knowledge and expertise Rick has is not simple to find.
With a big investment like buying a house, this is money well spent, I would do it again in a hearth beat.

Thank you Rick

Home inspection

As a first time home buyer I did not know what to expect -- Rick was amazingly helpful going through the home and explaining what he was doing, why he was doing it and what each test was to do. He provided a lot of background on appropriate maintenance to help once I have purchased the home.

Rick helped answer all my questions and elevated my mind by clearly stating all the homes issues, and the severity of those issues. I would recommend rick to my friends and family as he is the consummate professional.

He arrived early and took pictures to help with review of the report after the walk through was done and I was moved in. The report was available within 2 hours, allowing for a in depth review, and he was easily accessible for all follow questions I had. All in all a great experience.
