As well as one where the homeowner decided to "you tube" the plumbing and the poo pipes ended up flowing into the house instead of out. We did end up buying a duplex which they approved and praised and their home inspection report was the perfect 1st time homeowner's guide to a home. It came with suggestions of the things that need attention annually, right away, right down to those that can wait a bit, along with cost estimates. They even put in what to watch for to indicate the erosion and when to get them fixed. They have always been extremely helpful when we did need a referral to an honest repairperson, for a fair price and livable wage. We couldn't ask for more and they most certainly deserve our highest praise.

I used Vancouver Home Inspections (Angelo) services last week for a single family home inspection…read moreon a 40 year old home (~3000sqft). We spoke a few days before and he explained the process to me very clearly. When I arrived at the agreed time, Angelo was already there early checking the outside of the property. We allowed him the time and space to thoroughly perform the inspection. He was equipped and used all the necessary tools I would have expected (inc. moisture meter where necessary and accessible). He thoroughly inspected the inside and outside of the property and identified several issues that we would have not been able to find ourselves. Once he had completed the inspection, he performed a full walk-through and showed us the minor and major issues. He provided us with a very detailed report a few days later. In the end we decided not to proceed with the purchase of this property due to a number of issues found. We will definitely request your services again as we continue our property search. I highly recommend Vancouver Home Inspections/Angelo and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends/family. Tip: make sure your sellers clear access for inspection (loft access, electric panels, etc) as this caused us some delay.

There were several disappointments with the inspection. The inspector was friendly and had an…read moreextensive checklist and followed a rigorous procedure, but may not have had the necessary experience. When visual external roof problems were pointed out, they were dismissed as "a strata problem", but of course the strata is made up of and paid for by the collected owners. Other visible exterior water stain issues that suggested leaks, were likely not noticed as they were not mentioned in the report. The inspector may have been distracted by "what a great deal the place was", and instead focused on a loose shower tap handle and and older washer water supply hoses. A standard problem with real-estate agents is that they only get paid when a sale is closed, and are frequently over enthusiastic about "what a great deal this is" in order to close a deal. A problem may occur when the real estate agent is the one to select the building inspector based on past experience and previous relationships, as in this case. This is a significant risk to an inexperienced purchaser, who is depending on the integrity of the home inspector, and is using the report as a decision point as well as a negotiation item with the seller. The washer and dryer were discovered to be faulty upon first use after occupancy, and were replaced at the owners cost. There was no reference to the 2022 strata depreciation report, although it was available. The Inspection report is beautifully written, and easy to read, but did not meet the accuracy and thoroughness needs of the purchaser.

Can I bestow more than five stars to Shawn Anderson, "The Home Inspector"? Please? Five stars just…read moreisn't enough to convey how thorough, professional, knowledgeable and just genuinely nice Shawn is. We recently were in the market to purchase a place in Vancouver. The whole process is very new to us. Through Yelp, we were blessed to find the BEST realtor EVER (I will soon write a review for him and his team. Warning: it WILL be lengthy!). Our realtor recommended a few top-notch inspectors to inspect the condo we hoped to purchase. Luck was again on my side, as I chose Shawn to conduct the inspection. All I can say is, wow. Like our realtor, Shawn explained the process to us in a way we'd understand. I really appreciated how these guys know that we customers don't like surprises! Shawn was prompt (actually, he was early for our appointment! As were we. I recognized him from his photo on his website). He brought some super-duper high-tech equipment with him (my husband was quite envious of the machine that "sees through walls", to detect moisture, and other gadgets). He spent A LOT of time, checking everything his website said he would (I recommend checking out his great website as it really explains what exactly a good home inspector does. It has some helpful links to other services, too). As a bonus, he was amazingly nice with a wry sense of humor that really put us at ease, right away. Shawn is too modest to toot his own horn, but our realtor took us aside and told me that Shawn has the highest level of certification in this field, and Shawn used to be a builder, so he has hands-on experience in the actual building of homes. Soon after the actual inspection, we received an email report of the inspection. I cannot imagine ANY report being more thorough. It went over every single aspect of the inspection, and included lots of photos and as a courtesy, it even included maintenance tips for, well, everything (heat filters, fireplace, all appliances, smoke detectors, and more, so much more). What an incredible resource. Look, buying a home is a big deal. At least, it is for us. It's huge. For us, compounding the complexity of this humongous undertaking is the fact that we are not in Vancouver (we're moving from Seattle). There is so much to deal with and this type of purchase is wrought with emotion, along with the actual physical "stuff" and logistics to deal with. It has given us enormous peace of mind to have trustworthy people in our corner, working for US, who know their stuff, who do what they say they will, who follow up and, bonus, who we can relate to and are genuinely nice. Shawn is that person. He has helped to make this whole process of purchasing property as stress-free and, dare I say it, enjoyable a process as possible.
