Home Inspection

My Wife and I used Carson Dunlop for our first home purchase and would definitely recommend their services. We needed the inspection done ASAP as the house was taking offers and Carson Dunlop came through with a detailed report. We then received some useful discounts from plumbing and roofing services that had partnered with Carson Dunlop.

Overall, the process was very smooth and saved us some unneeded headaches

Home Inspection Report

We hired Carson Dunlop to perform a home inspection on a house we wanted to purchase. As first time house-owners and the property being an older home (over 100 years), we didn't have the knowledge or experience we felt we needed to make a judgement on whether the house was a good purchase or not. Milo did the home inspection for us, and was very thorough, knowledgeable, informative and friendly. The detailed inspection report we received put our minds at ease and we were reassured that the house didn't have any major issues of concern, only small things to be expected in a house of that age.

Home Inspection

Amazing work by Josh! The walk-through of the home with him was immensely invaluable. He helped us truly understand what is involved with the care & maintenance of our new home (window & brick sealing, patio maintenance). He also went over and explained how the basement equipment works (furnace, hot water, humidifier) and how to operate & maintain it (filters, settings, warnings, etc...). As a new home owner, this information will benefit me for years to come.

A true passionate & knowledgeable professional. I highly recommend Josh @ Carsol Dunlop.

Josh has been great to work with and very easy to communicate with. Extremely thorough and detail oriented.

AS a realtor, finding and selling homes is my business. I depend on Carson Dunlop to inspect these homes, whether it is buying or selling, a home inspection is important in the process. Full report, and all questions answered. They have good experience and are experts at knowing how a house or condo works.

Our home inspector was very friendly and helped explain all the testing and answer all my questions. He worked quickly and finished the inspection earlier than expected, and we were able to read the report a few hours after. Thanks so much!

Thorough, helpful, and professional

This was my third time using Carson Dunlop for a pre-purchase home inspection. I would use them again, and would recommend them to anybody.

Josh performed a very thorough inspection, and invited me to tag along and ask questions as he went. He gave detailed answers to all of my questions and provided many useful suggestions on improvements to be made to the house.

I've viewed dozens of home inspection reports now, and Carson Dunlop's are about as detailed and informative as they come.

Online booking through their website was also a big help during a busy time.

10/10 would recommend

Josh came highly recommended and for good reason. He was very detailed and took his time throughout the entire property inside and out. Explained where our shut offs were, how to change the furnace filters, and ensured we knew what we’d need to repair right away and the estimated life remaking one other items. It gives you peace of mind knowing how much you’ll need to spend when you take possession so there are no surprises.
