Given the leaky condo crisis in the lower mainland, I wanted to be sure that I had the best home inspection possible. So after much research I chose THE Home Inspection company. I wanted an independent home inspector, not one who was dependent on referrals from real estate agents.
Ted provided me with advice before I had even hired him. I sent him copies of the listings I was interested in and he provided advice as to what was good or bad about them.
He inspected the home I made an offer on, and it was the best investment I made in my home.
My real estate agent tried to get me to use a "cheaper" home inspector. Ted's services cost more than most other home inspectors, until you compare what he provides. His home inspection will take 2 to 3 times as long as other inspectors, because he checks every nook and cranny that is accessible to him. He inspected not just the condo unit, but also the complex.
His home inspection left me confident in the purchase I made, and he also provided the information I needed, as a first time home owner.
When my sister was looking to purchase a condo, I insisted she use Ted. She did and she was very happy. She provided a copy of the home inspection to her mortgage provider who was also impressed with the quality of the report and the home inspection.
If I buy another home, I will use THE Home Inspection Company to do the home inspection.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $675.00

Hi Jean, I'm so pleased to hear from you considering we did your inspection in 2005, thank you for referring your sister Denise. It was quite a pleasure meeting your sister and inspecting her townhome, this last November. Denise's mortgage broker was quite exceptional in that he had researched the complex and found several unresolved issues. My report did not paint a glowing portrait but rather; like most complexes, I discovered maintenance related issues that thankfully are reasonably manageable.
Happy trails.... like really!
Ted
