Our Inspection Services
Comprehensive, detail-oriented inspections for buyers, sellers, homeowners, new builds and renovations throughout the Sea-to-Sky Corridor, North Shore and beyond.
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
A comprehensive inspection of the home’s visible structure, systems and components. Gain a clearer understanding of its condition, safety concerns and maintenance priorities before you close on one of the biggest investments of your life.
Pre-Listing Home Inspection
Identify concerns before listing, decide what to address and present the home with greater transparency—helping reduce surprises and keep negotiations moving.
New Construction & Renovation Inspection
Whether it’s a newly built home or a major renovation, an independent inspection helps identify visible deficiencies so they can be documented and addressed with the builder or contractor before possession or project completion.
This is an independent visual condition inspection, not a municipal, permit or building-code compliance inspection.
New Home Warranty Inspection
Have your new home independently inspected before the applicable warranty deadline, helping you identify and document visible deficiencies for submission to your builder or warranty provider.
In BC, materials-and-labour coverage generally includes 12 months for detached homes and non-common property in strata units. Coverage and deadlines vary, so homeowners should review their individual warranty policy.
Home Maintenance Inspection
Not buying or selling? Get a clear overview of your home’s condition, upcoming maintenance priorities and concerns worth addressing before they become larger problems.
Follow-Up Inspection
A focused return visit to review previously identified concerns or completed repairs and provide an updated assessment of visible conditions.
