Home inspection

Gordon Mattieu of Carson Dunlop did my home inspection. He was meticulous and knowledgeable. He took time to communicate to me areas of concern and potential solutions. He was punctual and genuine. He outlined exactly what he was going to do and when it was going to be done. The customer service from booking to the receiving my comprehensive inspection report was first rate. I will only be dealing with Carson Dunlop in the future.

Home Inspection

As a first time home buyer, we really wanted/needed someone that could not only do the inspection, but give us info we need. Gordon gave us some really great info that will make our experience that much better! I will use him again and recommend him to friends and family. Thanks again, Gordon!

New Home Inspection

Carson Dunlop was recommended to me for my new home inspection in Aurora, ON and they did not disappoint. Gordon arrived on time and took me through a very extensive review of my new home. I could not have been happier about the experience and to a degree suggest that much of what we discussed is useful for any homeowner...good, practical advice. In the end, the inspection gave us confidence to clear the final waiver on our offer.

Thanks Gordon - great working with you and Carson!

Home Inspection

I am a Mortgage Agent and Real Estate Sales Person. I first met Gordon from Curson and Dunlop when I did my home inspection. He spent extra time in answering all my questions and also explained a lot of things. Since then I refer Gordon to all my clients. 10/10

Home Inspection

I only have good things to say. The Carson Dunlop office was extremely responsive in setting up an appointment for the time and date we requested. The inspector who attended at the house we were interested in purchasing, Gordon Mathieu, was punctual, knowledgeable and keen to educate us. The new 4-bedroom house we looked at was, on the surface, move-in ready. However, Gordon pointed both the minor and major details that were incomplete which, to our untrained eyes, seemed perfectly fine. With the newly-acquired information in hand and a coloured PDF report that same day, my husband and I were able to properly itemize the outstanding or problematic issues which should be fixed by the builder prior to closing. The report put us in a good negotiating position. Without having invested the $640, we would have overlooked many things which would no doubt cost alot more money down the road to fix. I highly recommend Mr. Mathieu.

Home Inspection

We had an offer in on a house and it fell through because Gordon picked up on some costly issues. We subsequently put an offer in on another house and Gordon showed us some very minor issues, but we are confident the larger issues are not there.

Service

I have used Carson and Dunlop for years for home inspections. They are amazing. I really love working with them. My clients are always very happy with the work. The work is always very thorough and they always take the time to explain things in detail to my clients. This is very helpful with first time home buyers who know nothing about how all the parts of a home work.

Home inspection

I required a pre-sale home inspection report. Carson Dunlop sent a qualified inspector out very promptly. He provided a thorough report and identified specific items that could be economically addressed before the house went on the market allowing me to avoid post sale issues at a significant cost saving.
