Home Inspection

Round two...This has been my second time around using Vahn at the Solex Group for a home inspection. After a long and tedious home search I finally found a suitable home for myself and my family. The first time I found a house I thought was suitable, it was demonstrated to me by Vahn that this might not be the property for me. Vahns detailed inspection report and extremely informative walk-through allowed me to avoid a potentially costly mistake. If you are looking for the best value and quality of service for a home inspection then honestly look no further. Vahn inspected my second home of choice and once again the complexity of comprehending the soundness of a house was minimized by this inspection. Although there were other offers on this house not asking for an inspection, I wouldn't feel comfortable purchasing a house without one. And the best one around is done by the Solex Group. Thank you Vahn for making me comfortable with my new purchase!

Thanks for the feedback Shaun. I'm glad you didn't get too caught up in the first home. I come across homes that are so hyped up, "fully renovated top to bottom", and staged, that some buyers get emotionally attached to the home and start making irrational decisions - like dropping the home inspection out of their offer. Get an objective professional who's not attached the home perform a comprehensive home inspection for you.....that's what Solex Group provides on a daily basis.

Thanks again Shaun!

Home Inspection

We are in the process of buying a rural property, and even though I am an electrician, I wanted a home inspection due to the complexity of the residence. After reading HomeStars reviews, we chose to go with Solex. I'm glad we did. Vahn Balabanian was exceptionally thorough and professional. He spent 4 hours on site with me, and wen through all areas of the house. Within 24 hours we received a 110 page report which was very detailed and informative. He noticed a lot of issues that I would have overlooked, even with my experience in construction. We definitely will use him again, and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a home inspector. Thanks for all your help Vahn. You saved us thousands of dollars! Best $475 I spent this year.

Home Inspection Report

I contacted Vahn based on the exceptional reviews that he received on this website and I was not disappointed.
He gave me a complete run down of what needed to be done, and when I should look at completing the work, as he was conducting the home inspection.
I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable and found his work ethic to be fantastic.
I would definitely recommend Vahn to others.

tarion 30 day inspection

Very happy with Vahn's inspection. This is actually the second time we hired him for the inspection and he also did pre-sale inspection for our old home. Vahn is professional, knowledgeable and thorough, he updated me in stages during the process so that I am informed about the issues. He is very easy going and answers all of my questions.The best thing I love is that he generates beautiful and easy to understand inspection reports. For home owners, this is very helpful seeing pictures of problem and how it should be done correctly. Would highly recommend this company!

Home Inspection

Vahn Balabanian at Solex Group completed a home inspection for me and my husband on July 24, 2015. He was able to schedule us for same day service. Vahn arrived on time, was very friendly, personable, and professional. He was patient in answering questions and seemed very thorough and knowledgeable. The inspection for our little two bedroom bungalow took around 3.5 hours. He gave us tips and advice along the way. We received the finished report the next morning. The report was very detailed and thorough. It included photos from the inspection as well as diagrams and explanations. Each issue found included a timeline of when you should have the issue remediated (e.g. immediately, at earliest opportunity, at your discretion, etc). I have a feeling the report will be our bible for the next little while as we work on the home. We were very happy with the services we received. It is everything we expected and we would certainly recommend Vahn to our friends and family. Even our realtor stated that she thought he did a great job and she would start referring clients to him as well.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review on my service Simone. I'm glad my report met or exceeded your expectations....my reports typically take 1-2 hrs to complete, so the end product is one of the best you'll find in the GTA....that I'm sure of (I've seen lots of home inspection reports to compare). Do stay in touch via twitter or facebook where I regularly post interesting photos and industry news.

Home Inspection

Just recently myself and my family found a gorgeous semi-detached home for purchase. Although the entire property was just recently renovated, it was an older home and i knew i had to get a home inspection done. A family friend also in the search for a home referred me to Vahn whom they said did an excellent job inspecting a house they eventually turned down because of his findings. Trusting them i put my trust into Vahn and the Solex Group. Immediately in the inspection Vahn found quite serious safety issues in the property, and was very informative with regards to smaller issues that may become bigger issues in the future, if we decided to purchase. Verbally, Vahn was clear and concise even when it came to technical issues. It was evident that the experience he has gathered in over 14 years in the business makes his product an EXCELLENT value for money. I am definitely hiring Vahn to examine my next potential property. Thank you Vahn!

Glad I could shed some light on this home for you Shaun so you were able to understand the true condition it was in. Most people walk through a house and find themselves submitting an offer in no time at all with emotions high up in the air. During a Solex Group home inspection, we look beyond the new renovations and possibly the stylish staging and shed some light on the true condition of various systems and components. For some, it's a real eye opener!
Thanks for the review Shaun, I really appreciate it.

Pre 30 Days Service

Vahn was extremely knowledgeable when he did inspection on our townhouse in Markham. He was punctual and brought extensive equipments to assist with the inspection as well. We paid extra for the thermal imaging and thought it was well worth it. The final report that was sent to us within 24 hours was thorough and had pictures that we used on our Tarion report. Overall, choosing Solex was a no brainer for us and would do it again for our 1 year inspection!

Thanks for the great feedback Chung. Yes, the thermal scan can add value and more insight into a home. For a camera that cost about $10k, it's definitely great value to have the thermal scan done in addition to a home inspection.

Home Inspection

My husband found Vahn by reading several reviews online. We were so pleased that we decided to go with him. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and thorough. He inspected every square inch of our house and explained everything along the way. His report was very informative, detailed and easy to read. We were so pleased with his house inspection that we would recommend him to all our family and friends. I sent his report to a contractor and even he commented on the quality of his work. He exceeded our expectations and we now feel at ease making the biggest purchase of our lives.

I'm glad you did your research and chose Solex Group Patty. I put a lot of time and effort in what I do, but still keep hearing people going through a 1 or 2 hour home inspection. That's just not enough time to do a thorough inspection. Thanks again, and enjoy the new home.

Pre-purchase home inspection

Vahn was recommended by someone who had used his services previously. He appeared very knowledgeable and took the time to explain his findings while at the house. In addition the report was very comprehensive and helpful. I am not one to write reviews however, in the email attached to the reports was the statement "As part of my service, I offer free consulting by telephone or email for as long as you own the home. If you have any questions about home maintenance and repair, I would be glad to help." Taking advantage of this offer i have emailed Vahn for help on a couple of issues and his response has been prompt, professional and helpful. The combination of the inspection, inspection report and post-inspection support have given me reason to provide this review and associated rating.

Thanks for the feedback Jane. Like I said, if I can help out, I will. The customer service (or lack thereof) with large companies are typically lacking for various reasons (corporate politics, liability, and especially the bottom line/profits). All the best!

Home Inspection

We had a home inspector booked however, due to a medical issue, he had to cancel on us last minute. We contacted Vahn who was able to come last minute and on a holiday! He was extremely detailed and took time to thoroughly explain all the issues found and answer any and all of our questions. We found him to be very knowledgeable, hardworking, detail oriented and friendly. The 114 page report provided afterwards was highly informative and full of pictures. As a nice added touch, we really appreciate that Vahn offers consulting by phone or email if any questions arise after the inspection. He definitely exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend. Thanks for everything Vahn!
