Should I attend the home inspection

While it’s not mandatory for you to be present, Canadian Residential home inspectors extend a warm invitation to their clients to join the home inspection if possible.

Typically spanning two to three hours, a home inspection proves to be a valuable investment of time for the client. As you navigate through the property, the inspector can offer insights into various aspects, pointing out details and providing comprehensive information about the home’s condition. Beyond the current state, our home inspectors also share future maintenance tips.

Being present allows you to engage directly with the inspector, posing questions about the severity of issues, potential repairs, and whether they are manageable as DIY projects. Although the inspection report will encompass similar details, and the inspector can review it with you over the phone if attending in person is challenging, there’s immense value in participating in the inspection firsthand.

Our clients consistently express appreciation for the learning experience gained while accompanying the inspector during the home inspection. This opportunity grants potential buyers the chance to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the property’s nuances.

He gave us all these little tips on how we can fix things. He was very thorough. He put us at peace about our house purchase decision. He scanned the entire house with a thermal imaging camera to look for insulation leaks and moisture problems, we are super happy with his service and will recommend him to our friends. ~ S.Wunderli”
