The Home Inspector - Uxbridge, ON

Testimonials

James, thank you for your professional service.
- Y.S., Markham ON, December 2018

Thank you for your report and a good inspection. It definitely influenced on our opinion. I will definitely recommend to my friends!
- K.A., Thornhill ON, October 2018

I was not only new to home ownership, but also to North American construction methods & materials. That is one definite takeaway from the inspection with James - by the time we were done, we had gone through R ratings, moisture gaps, bitumen roofing, easements, things that were done a particular way due to building code and why... Aside from his excellent customer service and professionalism, I came away with a greater understanding of the workings of the house, and will be better able to take care of my investment. Thanks, Jim!
- C.D., Whitby ON, October 2018

- K.L., Barrie ON, October 2018

James is a very knowledgeable and professional home inspector. You will not be disappointed with his services. Thanks James!
- M.N., Beaverton ON, October 2018

You are very knowledgeable. You are patient with me when I ask you a lot of questions.
- M.N., Beaverton ON, October 2018

James was incredible. He walked us through every step of the inspection and explained issues he found. The finished report is very, very helpful and easy to understand. I would use James again for a house inspection and highly recimmend him!
- L.M., Toronto ON, October 2018

Thanks James. Your inspection was very thorough and most helpful. I was impressed with your knowledge and professionalism. The way you explained things was easy to understand and follow. This is my first home purchase in a long time. The small things you pointed out would have been missed by me even though I've had two previous homes. Having a professional go over things as thoroughly as you did gives me peace of mind knowing that I won't come across any surprises when I move in. As people should know, surprises can cost you a lot of money that you may not be ready for. I would highly recommend that people speak to you before they sign on the dotted line. I like the idea that I can call you anytime for advice and guidance. Thanks again.
- R.K., Bradford ON, September 2018

It was very educational to walk around with you as you did the inspection. I learned a few things about the home I bought that will be useful, things I did not know I needed to do or how to do them. The report was well done and very useful for me. I did purchase the home, but it helps to know what will need attending to once I take possession. I will need to get in touch with you soon to get the name/number of the guy you were recommending who can upgrade/fix the insulation in my attic. Thanks again! Great job!!
- A.B., Pickering ON, August 2018

Thank you again for taking care of my clients! They are very happy with the way you took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure they understood everything.
- J.W., Uxbridge ON, August 2018

Very knowledgeable inspector with pleasant personality .
- F.P., Mississauga ON, June 2018

For the size of the property time should have been allowed for the inspection felt like it was rushed. Not properly trained no working at Heights card so could not access the roof only visual. Lack of proper tools cannot detect moisture in basement had no tool for that . Doesn't test any appliances wouldn't have had the time anyway. Seemed to waste time with obvious things instead of moving on to other things example garage door not working properly spend 15 to 20 minutes playing with it up and down up and down. Would not recommend James for any other inspections and definitely would not use him again.
- J.W., Oshawa ON, April 2018

James was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain his findings to us and was very professional.
- J.S., Courtice ON, March 2018

Thank you very much. It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday. The comments you made are very helpful & reinforced my opinion to go ahead with this purchase.
- A.A., Brampton ON, February 2018

I have now worked with James on two occasions, and will definitely use his service again if and when needed. James was professional and thorough with the inspections he did for me, and he provided his reports and responded to my questions in a very timely manner. Overall, James is a highly skilled and experienced inspector who is most pleasant to work with.
- J.S., Saskatoon ON, July 2017

James was very thorough and knowledgeable. He kept us updated with his findings at every turn with explanations and suggestions along the way. Very pleased!
- C.C., Keswick ON, April 2017

Very thorough and provided helpful information throughout the inspection with explanations on why the repairs need to be done and the various options on how to do the repair. Thank you.
- K.S., Markham ON, March 2017

Excellent inspection report - very detailed and nicely presented with clear colour photos. Informative 1 hour tour with James explaining everything to us in layman's terms. We like the suggested costs for the repairs as it assists us in knowing roughly what we may need to expend. The fact that we can contact James at anytime in the future to ask questions and seek advice without additional fees in a true bonus. One gets the impression that James truly wants us to have a nice, safe and efficient home and is actually excited for us to achieve such. Dean Kemper & Leslie Kimberley-Kemper
- D.K., Markham ON, March 2017

Very thorough, my family who was there during the inspection are all going to use him as well!

- A.S., Toronto ON, October 2016

So happy with the service! Learned a lot about our home-to-be, was given very clear explanations of some of the problems (the why, the cost, the hazards, etc.), and came away with a comprehensive list of projects and solutions to get started on after the move. Would recommend to ANYone looking for a reliable and personable inspector. Definitely above and beyond!!
- M.H., Brantford ON, August 2016

James did a thorough review of the home. We appreciated the time he took to not only review aspects in detail but also provide suggestions to improvements without overpaying for repairs. James went above and beyond by making observations not typically included in a home inspection. He is very down-to-earth in his approach and never makes you feel like you're asking a silly question. His enthusiasm shines through! We will most definitely be in contact with him in the near future because he really knows his stuff! I'd never hesitate to recommend James to anyone.
- F.M., Brantford ON, August 2016

Being a real estate agent for over 35 years, and often requiring the services of a home inspector, I need to have an inspector that is thorough, knowledgeable, can accurately assess any defects found and can connect on a personal level with the client during an inspection. Then a need to followup with accurate reports in a timely fashion that are detailed and informative to the client. James is excellent on all counts and I highly recommend him to my clients, to other real estate professionals and to anyone needing the services of a quality professional inspector.
- D.I., Port Perry ON, July 2016

James is great and reliable
- R.B., Toronto Ont, July 2016

James did an excellent job of thoroughly looking at the house as well as explaining the issues and exactly what we needed to do to fix them. He also gave us ballpark estimates of the cost to fix those issues. He had our report ready in less than 24 hrs. Very knowledgeable and professional. This wasn't the first time we used him and we're very happy both times. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.
