As a realtor, Craig is my go to referral for home inspections. His inspections are extremely thorough, and his knowledge base is vast. Craig will consistently go the extra mile to make sure clients feel educated and taken care of moving forward with their purchase. He even offers to come back after they move in if they have any questions or concerns about the house. I highly recommend him and his services.

My experience with Craig and his team has been excellent. The home inspection in general was thorough. Even after the inspection, there were minor problems discovered in the house, Craig was still willing to help answer questions and give advice to resolve the issue.

Craig and Jules were top notch to deal with on the inspection of our new family home we purchased. Inside and out they took their time and expertise and gave us the best inspection you could ask for. From Drone shots of the roof and gutters to thermal imaging of the whole inside. Their prompt service, new technology and fantastic customer service would make me recommend them to anyone getting an inspection on a new or old home. Thanks again guys!

We are first time home buyers & Craig did our inspection. He gave us peace of mind to make the decision to buy. The inspection report was very comprehensive & he explained everything thoroughly.After a recent cold snap we found moisture in a couple of places in the house. We reached out to Craig who popped by after an inspection to help us narrow down the issues & navigate next steps.We would definitely use Craig again & can't recommend him enough.

Craig and Cam did our home inspection and we couldn't be happier with how it went. Even though there was a brutal cold snap happening making the outside temperatures below -20C they still did a very thorough exterior inspection before coming inside. They were available for questions throughout the whole process and took time to answer each and every one with helpful advice. A lot of what they showed us was with regards to basic home upkeeping and maintenace (that we now are much more aware of!). Their final walk through and both verbal and written reports made us confident with the qualtiy of their assessment of the property. Would highly recommend!!

Craig did an inspection on an acreage property we are thinking of purchasing. He was thorough, honest and knowledgeable. He answered any and all silly questions I had as a first time home buyer. He made us feel confident in the home that we are purchasing! Would recommend to anyone and I will be recommending to all friends and family!
