A: A Scope Home Inspection is a visual observation of ALL major components of the building based on 40 years of construction, building and renovation experience.
Every home is different, so inspected items may vary. The major components we inspect are as follows:
• Roofing—Yes, we walk all accessible roofs.
• Exterior, including grading, hard surfaces, walls, windows, doors, etc.
• The mechanical room—furnace, boiler
• A/C
• Plumbing, including sewer system, water system, fixtures
• Electrical, including service equipment (panelPanel) and distribution
• Interior, including floor, walls ceiling, doors, etc.
• Appliances
• Ventilation and insulation
A: Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional home inspector. It takes years of education, training and experience in the construction field to fully understand the various components of a home.
Above all, most buyers find it difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the house they’re considering buying.
An independent and impartial third-party evaluation by a qualified professional home inspector is always recommended.
A: We understand that the home-buying process is stressful for first-time homebuyers.
We’re always happy to spend whatever extra time is needed. We want to make certain you feel comfortable that you understand the construction and operation of the home you’re considering buying. You will get peace of mind that your home has been professionally inspected and that your Calgary Home Inspector will be there to answer any of your questions during the inspection.
Our relationship doesn’t end with the report. Our ongoing customer care support is available to all our customers long after the report has been delivered. We provide free lifetime technical support if you ever have any questions about home improvement/repair.
A: The inspection process is similar to a mini-workshop, so we encourage you to attend, especially if you are a first-time buyer. Seasoned and repeat clients prefer to join us near the end of the inspection so they can hear the summary; either way is fine by us.
A: Your detailed, full narrative report is tailored specifically for your home and is produced in combination with site notes, photographs and office research. The report creation process is NEVER rushed and we never publish the report until we are completely satisfied with its quality.
Your customized report will be emailed to you the day after the inspection.
Q: We're Buying a New
Home. Do We Need an Inspection?
A: In the last decade, residential homes have been built in record numbers and quality has suffered as a result. The speed at which homes have been built in combination with the shortage of qualified workers in the trades has negatively affected quality and workmanship.
The construction process is complex, so deficiencies and errors will occur, and these could translate into costly repairs after you move in. That’s not to say that all homes have been constructed poorly, but we urge you to get the home inspected to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Consult an independent Calgary home inspector who will represent your best interests.
Q: What Is the Average Cost of a Calgary Home Inspection?
A: When it comes to services, especially with regard to the largest expenditure of your lifetime, it may be a mistake to shop prices. The services, qualifications and customer care that home-inspection firms offer vary greatly, so we urge you to do your homework before making this important decision.
This is our free report, Selecting a Home Inspector, which will help you.
The quality of our service is reflected in our fee, which starts at $375. The price for your specific case may vary, as prices depend on size, age and complexity of the property.
We always recommend that you call us for exact pricing.
