We hired Scott Neilson to do a home inspection for a house that we wanted to buy. He was very professional, approachable, detail oriented, and knowledgeable of his job. He answered all my questions and most importantly gave me helpful advice on home safety. We were amaze on how timely and detailed his reports are as well. Scott utilizes modern technology in his work like radon gas detection. We were really happy with his service and will definitely recommend him to others.

Lawrence did an inspection on our home before we sold it and on two homes we were considering buying. We were extremely happy with all of them. Lawrence is exceptionally thorough -- he sees everything and checks everything. He found enough problems with one inspection that we decided not to offer on the home and we would not have found its major problems without his help. When we did buy, his inspection reassured us that we had made the right decision. Most definitely recommended.

Rick was very knowledgeable and thorough during the home inspection. We like his attention to details and would recommend Rick to anyone selling or buying their next home. He patiently answered our questions, explained what needs minor repairs and even pointed out a cabinet that has cosmetic issues.

Lawrence is an excellent home inspector. He always makes himself available, punctual, and is very thorough when he inspects a property. Lawrence always goes the extra mile to research an item or concern, to make sure our client is getting the best knowledge, and information when they are buying a property. He takes lots of pictures so that the buyer can view any issues that come up after the inspection. He never rushes through to get to his next appointment. I have always been very satisfied with Lawrence's detailed observations, and his willingness to review all issues with the Buyers directly. His report format is written in "Plain English" for easy comprehension. I highly recommend his home inspection service to all of our Buyers. He absolutely takes pride in his work, and it shows. I have learned so much about building systems, and construction from this man over the years, he really is like a real estate encyclopedia. I have been helping people buy and sell homes for over 8 years now, and have worked with so many companies to inspect homes. With extreme confidence I can honestly say, Lawrence is one of the best! I trust him and he delivers, and as a result my life and the lives of our clients have become a lot less stressful. Give him a call, you won't regret it!Charles Khouri | REALTOR®

Excellent service and great advice are two qualities I was looking for in a home inspector and Lawrence exceeded my expectations.I purchased my home without an inspection and I felt it was important to schedule an inspection to ensure that there were no major issues and for my peace of mind.I contacted Lawrence based on a recommendation from a neighbour. He called me as soon as he received my request and we scheduled the inspection for the following day.On arrival Lawrence explained how he would conduct the inspection and invited me to follow him around. He welcomed all my questions and patiently took the time to explain what he was looking for and why. He made sure I understood issues that needed to be addressed and helped me prioritize what needs to be done soon and what could be placed on a watch list. He provided a lot of tips on home maintenance.The final report was completed promptly. It was comprehensive and detailed. Lawrence is conscientious and followed up to see if I had questions or concerns with the report. He even provided additional information to support his findings and recommendations.I highly recommend Lawrence. He is personable and professional and open to sharing his knowledge and provide valuable advice.

We hired Lawrence to do an inspection for our new build townhome and we are extremely satisfied with his service. Lawrence arrived early and was super friendly and professional. He did a very thorough job and took the time to explain to us each issue he found and provided a lot of helpful tips. He took pictures of all the issues he found and his reports were very detailed and easy to follow. I would 100% recommend Lawrence to anyone who needs an inspection done for their home.

The inspection of our new home was professionally, courteously and informatively done, with all questions asked being answered in a useful way. When there were issues identified with the fireplace, the inspector indicated we was certified to perform a WETT fireplace inspection, and the seller's agent agreed to pay for this to be done at the same time. This was an unplanned bonus from having an inspection done by A Buyer's Choice.

Our inspector, Lawrence, was absolutely amazing during our home inspection. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions and he made sure to answer all our questions. He also gave us some valuable tips and tricks that will help us enjoy the house even more in the long run. Lawrence was very responsive to emails, very professional, knowledgeable, respectful and so pleasant. We learned so much and had some great laughs along the way. He definitely loves the work that he does and we highly recommend his services.

Lawrence did a very thorough inspection of our home. Having had many inspections in the past, Lawrence has been by far the best. I recommend him to anyone looking for a resale or new build inspection. High quality report both with pictures and another that is "Tarion ready".

Our expectations were largely surpassed. We had Rick Miceli inspect two different homes for us and both times we were blown away by how knowledgeable, thorough and friendly Rick was. As first time homebuyers we were very pleased with how patient Rick was with us and how thorough he was with the inspection, giving full explanations to our questions and concerns. The report Rick sent after the inspection was very much the same, very thorough and accurate with pictures of exactly what the issue is. He was punctual both times meeting us and extremely easy to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend using ABCHI and Rick Miceli for your home inspection.

WOW. I 100% understand why a Buyer's Choice has so many 5 star reviews - They deserve every single one of them! Our inspector, Rick Miceli, was outstanding and provided nothing but top shelf service. He is truly a master of his craft and we have learned so much from him just by watching him do his thing. In addition to an extremely thorough pre-offer inspection and inspection report, Rick was so amazing with communicating with us and working to get the job done in the tight timelines we were facing. Thanks to Rick and the Buyer's Choice team - I would give you 6 Gold Stars if I could!

We had an amazing experience with Buyer's Choice Home Inspection. Our inspector, Rick, was extremely helpful and professional. He was able to fit an inspection in for us on a very short notice, which allowed us to purchase our first home! The official report was very detailed and organized. It had lots of photos and specific suggestions on what exactly we could fix/replace - as first time home buyers this was very helpful. I highly recommend this company!

We recently hired Lawrence from A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections before removing the Home Inspection condition in the offer. We are very very happy with the work done by Lawrence and his colleague. The home structure is a big complex. Lawrence brought along a helper. Lawrence was punctuate, courteous and professional. We were very impressed with his knowledge in the business. Especially he had been on the other side of the hence, doing home reno and contracting for years before becoming a home inspector. He knows all the issues and mistakes the builders and contractors may potentially make, and watch out for you in those areas. Also, he is very balanced in both alerting the clients of the more critical issues, and not making a big deal out of small and easy to fix imperfections. This gives the buyers the comfort of making arguably the biggest purchase decisions in their lives. I'd encourage his clients asking him questions, while Lawrence walks you through the home. You get a lot more from him that way than what shows up in the report, which is already very detailed, balanced and fair. He spotted a few code breaking issues, and discussed with us on potential options to address them. Because of the deadline in the conditional offer, Lawrence even worked through the weekend to deliver the final report. We are very appreciative of that!

I recently purchased my first home, and made use of A Buyer's Choice to get the home inspected. I came into this knowing almost nothing about home ownership, during a very fast-paced and difficult market. The inspector, Scott, was able to come by on short notice (one day after the offer was accepted), and did a very extensive investigation of the property. He also gave me a lot of helpful advice and information about how to tackle some of the issues that were present with the property, phrased in a way that I, with my total lack of experience, could easily understand.The final report I received listed all the issues clearly, and can serve as a todo list for the next while. Given the difficulties of the pandemic, and the current rapid-fire housing market, I am very impressed with how the inspection was done and the final report.

The service provided by Lawrence and his team is superb! The level of experience and professionalism is evident from the very start and I couldn’t be happier with the information they provided. I had major issues pointed out and explained to me immediately and then had the potential ways to properly fix these issues broken down in a way that I understood what needed to be requested from our builder. I highly recommend using this company!

Lawrence provided excellent service! He was very thorough in his inspection, and patient with answering all of my questions (and boy, did I have a lot!). He knows his stuff and will make sure that you're making an informed decision about your home purchase. His report was easy to digest because he took the time during the inspection to ensure I understood the implications of each defect. As a single woman and a first-time home buyer, I have found the home-buying process a bit stressful at times, but Lawrence put me at ease and gave me the confidence I needed to make the right decision. If you're looking for an inspector and you're uncertain about who to choose, just go with Lawrence! I promise that you won't regret it.

From the moment they arrived they were professional, courteous and well prepared. They were flexible and accommodating during the process. They performed the most effective and thorough inspection I’ve ever seen, testing every single aspect of every fixture including heat mapping and airflow. The inspection provided me with amazing data on every component of the home and detailed explanations of every defect. The pictures with identifiers ensure I will be able to find and correct all issues easily. I could not have asked for better value and will be choosing A Buyer’s Choice for all my inspection and certification needs.

Rick did a few pre-inspections for us and was always very thorough, patient, and helpful. We finally bought a house and had him come and my wife and i couldn't be happier with his services. He really took his time to make sure we understood what the issues were and how to prioritize them, as well as answering a lot of our basic questions in a very knowledgeable but considerate fashion. My wife and i never felt like he was rushing, or that he was talking down to us, and at the end we felt empowered, calm, and much more comfortable; we really can't recommend him enough. As an icing on the cake, he also prepared the report for us, which was just as, if not more, thorough than the walk through WITHIN THE SAME DAY! Buying a house is hard, but having Rick in our corner has been one of the better experiences my wife and i have had throughout this process, and we feel privileged for it.

Working with Lawrence Thibeault was a pleasure. He was quick to respond to any questions, provided clear instructions on the process and steps we needed to take and most important he provided valuable expertise on his inspection of our condo purchase. Inevitably he saved us a lot of anxiety when he suggested we test run our pick-up truck through the parking garage...he was right, it wouldn't fit and there was no other parking in the area. Definitely recommend these services and thank you!

We’ve had 2 inspections with a buyers choice (once with Rick and once with Lawrence) and were really happy with both! As first time home buyers we really appreciated how thorough, knowledgeable and open to questions they were. Definitely recommend them if you need an inspection done!

We had Lawerence out recently for an inspection of a cottage. He and his team were incredibly thorough. They answered all of my questions and helped me understand what issues required urgent attention, what could wait and what would be a nice to have to help me enjoy the cottage life even more! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for inspection services! Thanks!

Used Rick twice for recent home inspections in and around Ottawa on prospective property and the home we purchased. Very quick to schedule; extremely thorough home inspections performed and very professional, practical and useful advice was provided on the spot in addition to a complete and easy to read report the very next day. Would highly recommend!

I dealt with Rick Miceli on two occasions, and both times he made himself available at a moments notice. He took his time to explain every issues in detail and I felt like he could answer any questions I threw at him. He arrived before us for a heads start. Very respectful of the house, leaves everything spotless after inspection. Professional, friendly and easy to talk to. The written report was completed within one day. Very comprehensive, perfectly written for first time home owners. Would recommend to friends.

I had a lot of questions for Lawrence and he was very responsive. There were a lot of things that I had no idea how much it would cost to repair them and Lawrence would provide rough estimates. He suggested options where there were expensive repairs. He was on time, professional, explained things as he was going through. I would highly recommend him!!!

We had the pleasure of working both with Lawrence and Rick. We have been house hunting over the last few months and have had to do a few home inspections. Both Lawrence and Rick were fantastic! Professional, very thorough and didn't rush through their work. They answered all the questions we had, and welcomed us to get in touch if we had questions at a later date. We are very appreciative of this especially when buying our first home. Would highly recommend and would hire again, no hesitation.

Lawrence was very professional and informative during the house inspection. He was available at a short notice and conducted a thorough inspection. We ended up purchasing the house, and were very happy with the peace of mind he provided. The fact that he brought his son along as a second pair of eyes was an added bonus!

I was very pleased with the experience I had with the inspection provided by Buyer's Choice Home Inspection. Lawrence did a very thorough inspection, inside and out, and then walked me through the whole thing afterwards, pointing out everything he found...positive and negative. I found him to be very personable and straightforward, and a 30 page copy of the inspection was promptly emailed to me - with photos - the very next day. This was a very calm and informative experience, and certainly gave me the peace of mind I needed to have, before moving into my newly purchased condo. I would highly recommend Buyer's Choice Home Inspection to anyone else who wants that same peace of mind before making the move to a new place.

My wife and I had two home inspections with Buyer's choice. Both went extremely well and were very thorough. Lawrence showed up to one to give us a quick rundown of fireplace requirements. We mainly dealt with Rick, who was excellent. He always arrived before us to the house and got to work immediately. As we toured the house with him, he showed us everything he was making note of and explained the severity of any problems, as well as the rough cost of repairs, if he knew offhand. Since there was snow outside Rick was very conscientious of his wet boots in the houses. He has a change of shoes for inside, and made sure not to drip on the floors if he needed to carry his boots from the front to back doors. Before going up to the attic he laid down a tarp to catch any insulation that fell. Overall his cleanliness was impressive. After going over the full inspection with us he sent us a copy via email with snapshots of everything and brief description so we essentially had a checklist for when we bought the house.I'd happily recommend Buyer's Choice Home Inspections to anyone who needs an inspection. These guys are very knowledgeable, friendly, clean, and professional.

Thank you so much for providing my clients Heather and Rick with such an indepth home inspection report. I think it is so important to have a home inspector that is able to examine a home the way you do and be able to allow my buyers to have a report that shows every detail of the home that could be a concern. Thank you also for the personal touch in being available for my clients after the inspection to answer all of their questions or to go through the report with them. This puts my clients at ease and allows them to make a very informed decision on purchasing the home. You do go above and beyond and that is important for me in my business as I only refer the very best!!!

Rick Miceli conducted the most thorough home inspection we have ever had. With his personable approach and technical knowledge, he brought us through the exterior and interior of our new home from top to bottom. While answering all our questions, he indicated noteworthy aspects of the home as well as items which needed attention and how to rectify the issue. I am recommending to anyone looking for a home inspection in the Ottawa area to call A Buyer's Choice and ask for Rick.

Lawrence was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and very professional. I couldn't have been happier with a home inspection, especially as a first time buyer. The inspection took place in Feburary, the morning of a snowstorm, out in the country. Lawrence was not late at all. I was provided a nearly 50 page, extremely detailed inspection report the following day. I will definitely be using Lawrence again if I purchase a house.
