Distinct Home Inspections

Marco was recommended to us from our realtor for a home inspection on a resale property we were purchasing. He did not disappoint! He was very professional and knowledgeable and explained everything to us during the inspection. His summary report was a comprehensive overview of the home and allowed us to make informed decisions on our purchase as well as any important improvements to consider. We would recommend Marco of Distinct Home Inspections to anyone looking for this service!

Marco is my 4th home inspector and was by far the best. He was early, courteous, respectful of the home owner who was also present and very thorough. 10/10 would recommend again.

Marco did a very thorough home inspection! He was able to accommodate me last minute and was great to work with! He took the time to explain things as he went and answered all the questions I had and many that I didn't know to ask!

Extremely satisfied with the inspection that was done this time by Marco. Have used before twice and each time a very thorough job was done. He was available to answer any and all questions I had in the following weeks to come. I would highly recommend Distinct Home Inspections if you want a very professional inspection done at a reasonable price.

Marco was extremely thorough. He arrived early and took the time to educate me about the entire process. He was clear, concise and really seemed to care. I learned a lot and walked away feeling I had gotten my money's worth from his advice.

Marco did a very thorough inspection of the property that we were interested in purchasing and identified six key problems which enabled us to cancel our offer. He showed these items to us and explained them very well, including what would be required to fix them. We would like to thank him very much for his excellent work.

Home Inspection 10 Star+

This is the second time we have used Marco Ramos to inspected a home that we have purchased. The first time was a new home and despite people telling me it’s a new home and I didn’t new one I did anyways and don’t regret it for a second. He was able to fine stuff the builder over looked that could have cost us thousands as years went on. We had Marco come to inspect our second home that was much older. The house was built in the 70’s and has Aluminum wire and has a Septic system, things I knew nothing about. Marco was able to teach us the do’s and don’ts and why they were important. He provided us with his new digital report that has coloured pictures of all the recommendations, he even took pics of the appliance serial numbers for us to keep track. The information and teachings that he gave us of the home were priceless. He has also been there for us when we have questions or needed advice on how to fix his recommendation and improve our home.

Thank you Marco for the great job and we will be recommending

We highly recommend Marco Ramos of Distinct Home Inspections!!!! A++++

Marco is a home inspector that will go above and beyond for you. Marco insisted that I join him on the full inspection and I am so glad he did. He stopped at every point to explain to me what he was looking for, any issues he did see, and what I need to do to either fix the situation, or monitor it over time. As a first time home buyer, this house stuff can be scary! Marco was excellent at helping me understand my new house and generously offered up his contact information so I can call him whenever I have questions.

He did a very thorough job with the inspection, never missing a spot and always going the extra mile. You can tell Marco is an experienced professional who knows exactly what he is talking about. I'm tempted to call Marco back every few years just to see if I'm keeping my new house up to snuff!

You will not regret choosing Marco as your home inspector. I am so grateful for his thorough, timely, affordable, and above-and-beyond service.

A few years ago I bought a 60 yr old house. The real estate agent set up the home inspection with Lighthouse Inspections (Previous name of this company). Although a thorough inspection looked like it was being done, it was found that a couple of weeks after our purchase deal had closed, a crack in the block foundation wall was leaking during severe rain or thaws. I asked my new neighbours if the previous owners had leaks and I was told they had. I was told by the inspector, Marco Ramos, at the time of inspection that there had never been any leaks in this basement. Either the Real estate agent fixed this inspection or Lighthouse was incompetent in their job. I have my own thoughts about how this was missed, but I will keep them to myself. Its a good thing that Home Inspectors are going to have to be licenced in the future. Then a new homeowner will have a recourse for action if this happens to them.

Marco is AMAZING!!!!
He braved the snow on Saturday to inspect a home my husband and I are buying in Harriston, ON. He was so thorough and patient.
He made me feel at ease right from the start and you can tell he genuinely enjoys his job. He took the time and explained everything he was seeing and answered the million questions we had.
I never once felt rushed or as though he was just trying to get the job done. He offered tips and tricks and some very wise words of wisdom from his many years of experience in the construction trade.
I was very impressed with his professionalism and personable nature.
He was also very patient and understanding of our 5 year old and her need for attention and her behaviour.
I was even more impressed with how quickly our report came back. I thought for sure it would take at least a day but we had everything back the same day.
If ever the need should arise we will definitely contact Marco again for his service and would highly recommend him to our family and friends.
So happy to have had Marco inspect our forever home!
