Our realtor recommended Derrick for an inspection of the wood burning fireplace prior to purchasing a home, and we were very impressed with the service. He was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain things and answered all our questions. What really stood out was that he even offered to be available for any follow-up questions or support after the inspection. We would highly recommend Derrick to anyone needing a fireplace inspection.

Derrick recently completed an inspection on an acreage property for my clients. As my precious experience has proven, Derrick is very thorough and always answers questions with expertise and commence sense.

Great service from Derrick! He is definitely VERY thorough.Update: Following our hiring Derrick, I joked to my partner, "That guy is so thorough; I don't want him inspecting our house when we go to sell it!" Well, GUESS WHO THE BUYER HIRED! Gulp. As expected Derrick was incredibly detailed — even uncovering a few issues that we wish we'd known about years ago, like low insulation in part of our attic — but honest too. After being on both sides of the sale now, I can tell you for sure: You found the right guy.

We had a great experience with Derrick Urbanowski for the inspection for our first home. We are first time home buyers, and he made this experience very easy and comfortable. He brought a wealth of knowledge, which was helpful both at the inspection, and in the resources he provided after the fact. He was very thorough and professional. He was very easy to talk to, and very considerate in bringing snacks and water (which was a small act, but made a big impact for us as we both came after work). I would highly recommend Derrick and would utilize his services again.

Derrick provided a professional level inspection. I strongly feel that nothing was over looked and his knowledge and quality of work would benefit any buyer to make a confident decision in purchasing there new property.

The follow up inspection report was done with clear information and solutions. Pricing for his service aligned with original quote even after showing up early and working late there were no hidden charges. I will use Buyers Choice Home Inspection again and recommend to my friends and family.

I had an extremely positive experience with Derrick, who assisted me with two separate home inspections in Calgary on a short turnaround basis. As a first-time homebuyer, it was reassuring to have someone as thorough as Derrick to inspect the home and explain deficiencies and maintenance items in a straightforward way. Derrick was always friendly and happy to answer my questions. Derrick sends a detailed inspection report (60+ pages) within a few hours of the inspection. He also provides a recall check report for any potential manufacturer recalls affecting the appliances in your home. Derrick is quick to respond by phone or text, and he continues to make himself available post-inspection to answer any questions related to the home inspection or home maintenance. Thank you for making the home inspection process so seamless, Derrick! I would highly recommend him to anyone.
