Ted was extremely thorough when we hired him to inspect our Townhouse. He spent as much time outside looking at the entire development, as he did inside. What we liked most about Ted's approach as that he doesn't pull any punches. If he sees a deficiency, he documents it. The next day we sat down with Ted and reviewed the document he prepared and we were impressed. The amount of detail he provided us was more than worth the money we paid him. I went on to join the strata council a few months later and used his document to have some common area deficiencies resolved. 11 years later, Ted is still helping us. Just last week Ted inspected and providing a solution to a common area building experiencing ventilation problems. Thanks to Ted we have a solution and are now able to deploy the appropriate trades to get the problem fixed. I offered to pay him for his time and effort but he said "Of course not, keeping my clients happy is the cornerstone of my business. I'm always more than pleased to help people, it's a character flaw but I can't help it."
Thanks Ted!!

Hi Ted,
Being an X renovation general contractor I enjoyed the daily problem solving challenges but I find the field of home inspection to be far more rewarding. Being a contractor it's expected, being a home inspector; it's more of a bonus for the homebuyer.
As you have probably guessed; problem solving is one of the main perks of the job. Discovery and exploring improvement possibilities is what makes me happy and excited when the phone rings for an inspection.
As always, your advocate.
Ted (yeah, the same name)
