Buying a house is scary, but buying a house when you don't even live in the same city is positively…read moreterrifying! Lucas managed to transform our terror into excitement and optimism. Lucas spent 5 hours inspecting our house-to-be, generated a clearly described, detailed and photo laden report and spent an hour on the phone with me going over his findings. After that, we knew exactly what we were facing and could make an informed decision about proceeding with the purchase. Not only that, he left his door open for follow-up inquiries even after the home purchase concludes. I can't imagine that a home inspector can get better than this.

BEWARE ALL HOME SELLORS This company could ruin a potential sale for you. - They came in to do a…read morehouse inspection on behalf of potential buyers. If you want an overkill inspection report (mine was 66 pages....yes that's right 66 pages) and it was overkill. The summary page had about 4-5 regular home maintenace things that could be done....that's all but the inspection report highlights roof, foundation, plumbing, etc etc. My house was built 17 years ago but a top builder in Calgary so no shabby inferior materials and it's been well maintained over the years. Chase Diaz was the inspector and it says he has about 20 or more years experience. Below are some of the things he was wrong about or didn't return to as default - Outside shower I have a heat lamp with a fan. The fan goes on when the heat lamp reaches a certain temperature. Chase should have known this but he put in the inspection report the fan didn't work...WRONG it does work just fine. Chase if you're as good as you claim you should have known this or stuck around long enough for fan to engage. He left my shower head tilted upwards and didn't turn off the lever for the additional removable shower head. I had to get up on a step stool to put the shower head back to where it originally was and turn off the lever for the additional shower head. Water was left on the bench in my shower, stiple from the ceiling left on my countertop in the bathroom. He also yanked so hard on a basement ceiling light fixture that he pulled the chain/cord right out of the fixture then proceeds to put in the inspection report needs to be replaced. It worked just fine before you did the inspection. I'm thinking the potential buyers were condo owners buying their first house and have no idea that any home does require home maintenance. I believe they were overwhelmed by this massive report and ended up pulling out of the deal. I also think the buyers agent may live in a condo as she's listed as a Condo Specialist so everyone you can see how this plays out. If you're a home sellor this inspection company could very well ruin a potential sale for you and if the buyer's realtor isn't a home owner and experienced then they are no help in understanding regular, ongoing home maintenance and could very well not help saving the deal!!!! Trust me this inspection company and realtor will never step foot in another property I'm selling. Another couple who could see the upgrades and workmanship of a good built home put in an offer the same day this first couple backed out. So home sellors the above should be a warning about this company or any other home inspection company who uses the same software.

With far more experience than most, he sees things other inspectors miss. He in INCREDIBLY organized and has a fine eye for detail. Can not recommend enough. I can say this is a true 5.0 Star Review. BTW it seems like that one review doesn't understand that you pointing out multiple deficiencies is literally your job... How would it benefit the BUYER who you are working for to ignore problems with a home? No home is perfect, but I know from experience actually speaking with Joel and many of his customers, that he certainly does not blow things out of proportion, but protects the interest of his customers.

No detail was overlooked in his report. From the minor quirks of the home to the major concerns, Ed covered it all. He went over the report in an incredible amount of detail. Ed made sure I understood not only the deficits of the property, but also its strengths. I did not expect the warm, caring, thoughtful service that I received from Ed and Canadian Residential Inspection Services. I am very happy with the service, grateful to Ed and his firm for their assistance, and will definitely be recommending them (as they had been recommended to me)!

I have purchased many homes in the past, had many different inspectors and never have I had to deal with so many missed issues. I was skeptical at the end of his inspection due to the fact the "list of issues" was extremely small but we were met with a resounding "its a great house" yet we havent stopped chasing issues since. We had reached out before to voice our concerns and were quickly met with a "that wasn't part of my job" (when it absolutely was) and " how was I supposed to know that" or a lovely "oh I didn't notice". I take no pleasure in bringing light to someone's short comings but all he seemed interested in doing while inspecting our house was talking to the people in it, he was a nice enough man but not good at his job. Leaks, wires, unattached attic fans, major eavestrough issues that have now left us with bylaw notices, mouse holes, fence issues, ventilation issues, just a good old laundry list of stuff to fix and replace because 1 person didn't do their job. Thanks henry.

Beware: This Is Not the Original Leak Doctor…read more We had a leak around our windows, and we remembered that friends of ours had previously hired Leak Doctor. They spoke very highly of the company, saying the owners were Italian, extremely knowledgeable, and true experts in building envelope investigations. Based on that recommendation, we booked an inspection without hesitation. Unfortunately, when the inspection took place, we realized the company had changed ownership. The new owner and his assistant performed what appeared to be a very superficial inspection. My husband works in the oil industry and regularly reviews thermal imaging reports. As soon as we received the report, it was immediately obvious that it had been prepared by someone with very limited knowledge of building envelope science and thermography. We asked our friends to share the reports they had received from the previous owners, and the difference was night and day. The quality, level of detail, and technical understanding were on a completely different level. We eventually contacted the former owner. Out of respect for his request, I won't share the details of our conversation, but he pointed us in the right direction to obtain the professional help we needed. I debated whether to write this review because I generally don't like leaving negative feedback. However, I believe the current ownership is benefiting from the reputation built by the original founders while providing a completely different level of service. I'm a retired lawyer, and frankly, that's probably fortunate for them because we simply want to put this experience behind us. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision. The current Leak Doctor has nothing in common with the founders or the reputation they worked so hard to build. Exercise caution before hiring them

The house is now wrapped, has new exterior insulation, hardie siding, gutters, soffits, trim boards, and is finished expertly. Note: Leak Doctor's crew is outstanding, we had bad experience in the past with good company hiring bad workers, but when i read the other reviews, I guess Leak Doctor only hire the best workers in town and I can confirm that, they will go above and beyond.

So now I'll need to get someone else to repair it as it is obviously not installed properly. I'm a single senior and this is very disappointing as well as probably going to be expensive.

Not only was he incredibly professional, but he treated us like we were family. Even for extremely knit-picky people like ourselves, my wife and I were shocked at how thorough he was, and his vast technical knowledge was apparent as he walked us through every stage of the inspection able to confidently answer every one of our questions. We especially appreciated his roofing expertise as he went above and beyond to not only give us a detailed report on the condition of the roof, but even offered some tips on care and maintenance from his years of experience. The technology he used allowed us to see through walls, and the report he provided could be viewed on you laptop or phones and could be easily shared with curious family or friends. If you're looking to make the biggest purchase of your life I genuinely could not recommend Kyle from Samson Inspections enough. He provided our family with exceptional service at a great price and has helped us sleep peacefully at night knowing our home will be safe, structurally solid, and technically sound.
