Home inspection

Highly Recommended Home Inspector
Vahn did a great job inspecting a home that we had put a conditional offer on. It turned out that we did not end up buying this home after Vahn found issues with it that the owners were trying to cover from us. I am in the midst of purchasing a different house and I will definitely be using Vahn again for the inspection. He is very thorough and his report is top notch. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent home inspector

Thanks for choosing Solex Group for your home inspection Kimberly. In a sea of unregulated home inspectors, it's quite a challenge finding one with real credentials and enough knowledge of houses/buildings to give you a good understanding of what you're buying. Be sure to stay in touch via facebook, twitter, linkedin where I regularly post great information on anything related to home inspection and real estate in general. Thanks again!

Buyer Home Inspection

Vahn and the Solex Group provided an above expectation home inspection experience just last week (November 2014) and will 100% recommend Solex Group to anyone who is looking for a home inspection service. The home inspection report was provided on time, and again very much above my expectation of the details and tips. It was no simple report, but packed with useful information along with necessary website links for further details should the client requires to do more personal research on the matter. The inspection experience was also superb as Vahn was professional throughout the process (starting with his early arrival to the home), and explained and answered any questions you may have instantaneously. Vahn pointed out everything he saw regardless of being major or minor, providing me with a ease of mind desired in a stressful time during a home purchase. Follow-on services was also excellent with follow up emails to ensure I received all the necessary information for my decision making. Ultimately, I ended up not going through with the home, but I will surely seek Vahn's experience once more in the near future as I hone in on my family's home sweet home! If you are seeking a professional home inspector, I truly suggest you reach out to Vahn, and speak with him first for your own due diligence - I am confident you'll find it fruitful and worthwhile in seeking Solex and Vahn as your inspector.

Home Inspection

We found Vahn online and decided use his services given his qualifications and the excellent customer reviews. After hiring him for two home inspections, we are very confident to say his service is the best "bang" for your money. Vahn has an eye for detail and did not hesitate to climb the roof...even on a cold November morning! He meticulously checked the attic and the quality of his service is further testified by the high end equipment he uses. His thermal camera is state-of-the-art and his verbal explanations are based on tangible advice one can rely on. The report was very detailed (70+ pages with lots of photos and illustrations). All in all, we feel lucky to have found such a dedicated home inspector, and we really feel his suggestions are both professional and as honest as those you could expect from your closest friends. We would not hesitate recommending Vahn from Solex Group for anyone looking for a home inspector they can trust. He exceeded all our expectations.

Home Inspection

We hired Vahn to complete an inspection on a house we planned to purchase for commercial purposes. Vahn spent a great deal of time going over the property and provided an extremely detailed report. His report allowed us to gather accurate costs for the work required on the property and to properly gauge if the building was a good value. We would highly recommend Vahn. He was lovely to work with and very affordable.

Professional Home Inspection

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I was very happy with the home inspection done by Vahn. He had good attention to detail and provided good suggestions on what to do right away as opposed to something that could be left for later. I was also surprised that he also actually climbed onto the roof - didn't expect that :) Overall a good experience and would recommend him to friends and family.

Thanks for the feedback Imran. Yes, I make every effort to get on every roof. Being younger and leaner than most inspectors has it's benefits....even when it comes to accessing tight attic access hatches :P

Vahn is incredibly detailed and makes sure to check every nook and cranny of your potential home. He communicated his findings and made sure I was comfortable with the issues at hand. He took his time to ensure the homes condition was communicated to me in an objective and informative manner. I will be using Vahn again for future home purchases.

Home inspection

I am a very demanding person and I dont like "unexpected surprises".

When we were about to put an offer to a house, we were nervous. The house already had a seller inspection report from the largest home inspection company in Toronto, but I just felt that something was wrong. The night before the offer date, we called Vahn at around 10:00pm, asked for his availability and price.We got him from Homestar.ca and a referral from a friend. His price is in line with other guys on the web and based on his positive reviews, we hired him. He was very honest over the phone and provided his thoughts on our "dream house" based on my description.

When he arrived the next day, he spent over 5 hours on the house with us. It's a tiny house (under 2000 sq ft), but because we needed to make a quick decision for the offer that night, so he almost felt it was his responsibility to tell us everything we needed to know. The seller's report said the whole roof was new with premium quality material, and the attic was in a really good shape with extra insulation. When Vahn went up in the attic area, he told us there was a significant amount of mould up there and insulation was low.There are a lot of other things that sell's inspector was trying to cover up(eg. flooded basement) but Vahn was able to identify and advice us.

That mould situation was a deal breaker for us. We walked away from the house that night, but felt that we learned SO MUCH from Vahn. Absolutely amazing guy. He is so knowledgeable about everything and he was willing to teach us everything. We never lived in a house before, so there were so many stupid questions that we asked him about.

I strongly recommend anyone to use Vahn's service. I know we will definitely hire him for our next house inspection. It's hard to find someone so good in the house inspection industry (especially compared to that seller's inspector from the largest house inspection company in Toronto).

Home inspection

extremely knowledgeable. Vahn from Solex Group spent 3.5 hours on inspecting our home from the Roof to the basement. He provided a thorough report on what needs to be fixed on the immediate and long term. He definitely provides more than a visual inspection and goes above and beyond to ensure your confidence and satisfaction. I highly recommend Vahn and Solex for home buyers.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Vahn. Our realtor recommended a home inspector but we weren't fully confident with that company and being first time home owners, we wanted to make sure we were working with a true professional. So, we called him based on his reviews and in-depth website. Vahn spent a good amount of time on the phone with us and was able to come on short notice to inspect a home we had an offer on. We were really impressed by the level of detail he provided on site and his openness to all our questions. He also sent a very detailed report the next morning to help us finalize our offer. Overall, we're happy to have found Vahn and will certainly work with him for our future home purchases. Humble and intelligent professionals like him are hard to find -- it goes without saying that we highly recommend him.
