the BEST house inspector I've ever met.

Vahn is the best house inspector I have ever met. I had the bad experience by another inspector in 2005. But Vahn is completely different with other. He is patient, nice, kind, careful, and professional. I strongly suggest everybody to use his service. You can entirely trust him and rely on him.

New Home Inspection

If you're in the market for a home inspection, look no further than Solex Group!

Being a first-time homeowner is an extremely exciting milestone, however it can also be somewhat overwhelming. To get some piece of mind, we decided to hire an inspector to examine our home prior to our 30-day Tarion warranty submission. I came across Solex Group via a Google search and was extremely impressed with the many positive online reviews/ testimonials. When I gave them a call, Vahn provided an overview of what an inspection entails and the different packages that Solex Group offers so that we knew exactly what to expect on the day of the inspection. We went with the extended package because we wanted the thermal scan of our home. Be sure to also read through Solex Group's website as there is lots of great information and resources.

We learned so much during our 2-hour inspection with Vahn. Not only was he extremely thorough, he answered all of our questions and provided us with detailed explanations/ tutorials for a number of items that we had no idea about. He truly knows his stuff... and he has so much passion and expertise for what he does.

As part of the inspection, Vahn captured issues that we would not even have thought to look into, especially some key exterior issues. He also made sure to examine all of the concerns that we had on our list throughout the house. Never did the experience feel rushed. We received our report within 24 hours - just as promised. The report itself will be a helpful go-to guide for years to come. Not only does it provide detailed descriptions of each issue that Vahn identified (with accompanying pictures), there's tons of very useful information including general maintenance advice, recall checks, and a home maintenance schedule.

The experience definitely exceeded our expectations. I would strongly recommend hiring Solex Group for your next home inspection - you will be so glad you did! We will definitely be contacting Vahn again in the future for a home inspection.

Home Inspection

I have already used Solex Group twice in the past.
Vahn has great attention to detail. His report outlines in a very professional and well-explained manner all the findings.
His service has helped me get a lot more value out of my home purchase, as the Seller has agreed to resolve the vast majority of the issues on the inspection report - a huge plus, especially in today's market conditions.

Vahn was top notch all around. He's very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. I recommend being present for your home inspection with Vahn if possible as it will probably end up being a great learning experience for you (as it was for me). Highly recommend.

Thank you for the positive feedback/review. It's true, attending the home inspection is more important than just reading over the report. Clients get more out of attending the inspection as this is where issues are observed and remedies, approaches, limitations and implications are verbally discussed in more detail. Thanks again for choosing Solex Group for your home inspection.

New Home Inspection

After many phone calls to find a home inspection company, Vahn was extremely professional and informative, even before booking the appointment. He was more than willing to schedule our appointment on December 27th, a day after the Christmas holidays. Prior to meeting us, Vahn advised to visit his website where he has links to Tarion forms available to the public. The resources he provides are super informative and helped us understand what home owners should look for when inspecting their home for deficiencies. Vahn was punctual and thorough in his inspection. He used the proper equipment to identify important areas and elements of the house. Vahn spent time explaining his findings and pointed out important deficiencies that we wouldn't have found ourselves. Hiring Vahn was one of the best decisions and worth every dollar. Promptly the next day, we received a very detailed report along with pictures. Thank you Vain for making the experience positive and worth our time and money!

Home Inspection

I was very impressed with the home inspection service provided by Vahn. My appointment was after work in the evening time. Vahn arrived earlier than the allocated time to get started on the outside inspection and roof inspection whilst the lighting was better.

He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable about everything and took time to explain specific parts of the inspection answering our questions as they came up. The report he provided allowed us to begin the house offer negotiations armed with specific details of some potentially costly repairs and maintenance.

I previously obtained 2 home inspections with another inspector and I found Vahn to be much more thorough, knowledgeable and better value. For this reason, I would definitely recommend Solex Group to my friends and family. He was awesome!

Home Inspection

Vahn Balabanian is a true professional. This is the second time that I have used Vahn's services in the past 5 years and once again, his
Home Inspection Services have exceeded my expectations. I'm impressed with his ability to thoroughly assess, analyze and document all of the important details of my home as part of Solex's services. In doing so, he has also taken the time to engage and help me understand the potential risks, areas of concern and even things that were done well. Vahn's detailed report is my starting point to make better decisions and prioritize my home investments which will save me a huge amount of time, aggravation and money.
Outside the professionalism, Vahn is smart and a great dude.
If you are on the market for a home inspection, I highly recommend Vahn Balabanian and the Solex Group.

Home Inspection

My partner and I recently purchased our first home and contacted Vahn from Solex Group to do our home inspection. His reviews were overwhelmingly positive and he didn't disappoint. Vahn was punctual and very thorough in his work. It was clear he was extremely knowledgeable and it was easy to trust his perspective on things. He explained things very clearly which was helpful considering we didn't have much knowledge or experience to work from. He was also incredibly easy and comfortable to chat with which made the experience that much more pleasant. I would definitely recommend Vahn's services to anyone looking for a home inspection.

Great service ever

Vahn is the most detailed person I ever seen, really great service he provided, gave me a clear vision for my buying decisions and valuable advice. You won't regret to have him inspect your property. It's much worth than others!

There was a gap left between the wall and the floor after baseboard installed, he refused to repair it and told me it will be disappeared when summer get hotter. It never did.
