Home Inspection

Vahn was very informative, helpful and thorough. He spent more than three hours going around, over and through the house. He did his assessments, then explained his findings during the inspection itself. The next day he sent a 76 page document that explained in detail all his findings, with photographs for clarity. The document described the most important to the least important concerns and contained several references and links to further describe and clarify his findings. We felt more confident buying our home knowing what to expect, what to fix, and when to do it. We will definitely recommend Vahn's Solex Group to others. We felt it was money well spent and we appreciate the work that went into his inspection and the very thorough and descriptive report we received so quickly which will be a personal home reference manual worth keeping and consulting. Thanks Vahn!

Thanks Cynthia, the review is much appreciated. I still shake my head when I hear people tell me their last home inspection took 1.5 hrs. I call that "just looking around". A detailed and thorough home inspection takes about 2.5 to 3 hrs on a small to average size home....just my two cents. All the best with your new home Cynthia.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review on my service Sunil. This is a great way to get the word out on my company.

Can I shed some light on my inspection reports? From what I've been told, the quality of my reports are another aspect of my service that impress my clients. It's a full colour, easy to read (no messy handwriting) digital report (PDF format) that contains photos, illustrations & diagrams to help explain issues better, my recommendation with time frames on any repairs/corrections/upgrades/etc, a home renovation cost guide as well as other supplementary documents specific to the inspection findings. There are active "live" links to additional detailed information when a term is highlighted in blue (I call it the home encyclopaedia containing hundreds of pages). I also have a summary page at the front with what I feel are the major issues.

Home Inspection

We spent a long time researching home inspection companies before finally deciding to use Solex Group and were very impressed with the service provided. Vahn was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and personalable throughout the inspection of our home in Oakville. We got the distinct impression that he is genuinely committed to providing excellent customer service. The inspection was broken down into major areas of the property; roofing, exterior, structure, electrical, heating, cooling, insulation, plumbing and interior. Following a detailed review of each of these, Vahn walked us through his findings using pictures to help us clearly understand the issues and how they can be resolved in the future. He also answered any questions that we had a long the way. Following the inspection, we received a thoroughly detailed report that same evening, which clearly documents all issues (both major and minor) that we discussed during the inspection- along with photographs to support. All in all, I would definitely recommend Solex Group to anyone looking for a top quality home inspection and will certainly use them again in the future.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the feedback...wow, it's nice to get a review without even asking for one. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience on site and the details that make my service stand out. With me, being objective/unbiased is key. So most of my business comes from referrals by loyal clients like yourselves. I wish you and your wife all the best.

Home inspection

Vahn did a home inspection for us two months ago and I am still impressed. He was very professional and answered all our questions in patience. We not only got a great inspection but also learned a lot from him. The basement looked damp in multiple places. Vahn identified where is a problem, where is a pass issue, and where is not. I would definitely recommend his service.

Thanks for the review James. You saw first hand the importance of having the right equipment for the job. A quality moisture detector can assist in picking up areas of active dampness if the conditions are right. I'm glad you learned a few things too...that's one of the qualities of a home inspector. We're basically there to teach you as much as possible about the house in about 3 hrs. Once armed with all this knowledge, one can make informed decisions going forward.

Home Inspection

I found Solex through the Homestars website. Vahn arrived early and began right away. He spent 3 hours inspecting the house (1200 sq ft). His inspection was thorough and detailed and he did an excellent job explaining his observations as he went along. Vahn works to a high standard of excellence and I was thoroughly impressed.

Thanks for the feedback Doug. Again, I'm glad you did research on potential home inspectors before choosing one. Integrity is very important with any profession. Those who have worked with me, know how strict I am with certain things such as maintaining client confidentiality. No details of the inspection or inspection report is disclosed to anyone without my client's permission (unless it involves a significant safety issue to the occupants). All the best, and stay in touch Doug: facebook "Solex Group Professional Home Inspection" or linkedin: Vahn Balabanian

Home inspecton pre-purchase

I was very impressed with the service provided and the knowledge of Vahn. Every corner was turned and a lot of deficiencies were explained and recommendations provided immediately. His report was done very professionally with all photos and details of recommended tasks to be completed. Very helpful info in the report is a list of estimated cost of repair.

Home Inspection

I recently purchased a new home and had to do a last minute inspection after closing to verify some fixes the original owner had done before closing. I also took the time to have Vahn inspect the entire house since I had some concerns with the original pre-inspection that was done on the house. Vahn was top notch start to finish and surpassed all my expectations. He takes the time to go over every little detail with you as he does his work, and breaks everything down for you in language you can understand. Vahn even went on the roof, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but you would be surprised how many other inspectors might not do the same. I would recommend him to anyone who wants an extremely thorough inspection of their house.

Thanks for the review Ryan. I commend you for choosing your home inspector wisely and carefully. You witnessed first hand the difference between home inspectors. It is essentially an unregulated industry and there are too many inspectors just in it for the $$$. Educate yourself with unbiased advice and you will be fine. Take care and stay well Ryan.

home inspection

Vahn was accurate, professional, knowledgeable, very thorough in all details with the home inspection. Thanks to him, we know all the ares that need attention and can plan home improvements. Besides, Vahn revealed bigger problems, and we were able to negotiate the cost of the house with the seller. The report is absolutely exceptional- clear , easy to follow, with appropriate explanations and pictures.I would definitely recommend Vahn' service to everybody buying a house, especially if it's a first time purchase like in our case.

Thanks for the review Julia. It's great to know you found out the benefits of finding a good home inspector BEFORE you make a huge financial decision such as buying a house. Getting a reduction in the purchase price with all the facts & information about the house at your disposal is a bonus! I wish you and your family all the best, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about the house in the future. I now also provide Thermal Imaging Services (leak tracing, building envelope performance analysis, etc.) with a high end IR camera.

Home Inspection

Vahn provided professional home inspection service to my new home (25 years old) last month. I can tell you that he likes his job very much and is very patient to explain everything to me as a first HOME buyer. Things you will never know if you are living in a condo.

I have learned a lot in that session and his 47 pages report will sure be a reference on how to maintain the property in the future.

I would highly recommend Vahn to do the inspection for you if you do care for your investment.

Thanks for the review Kenneth. I'm glad you did some research before choosing a home inspector. Unfortunately most home purchasers wait too long to find a great home inspector. You should have your trusted team comprised of your Realtor, Lender, Lawyer, and Home Inspector already chosen when you first decide to buy a new home. If not, you may find yourself making poor decisions due to excessive emotions, and the pressures/time constraints of completing a real estate deal. You may decide to skip out on a professional home inspection - bad call. Or you may hire the first inspector (with a cheap fee) you call up on the phone without properly evaluating/researching the inspector - I call this gambling. Finally, you may just go with your agent's recommended inspector. In a perfect world, this conflict of interest would not exist, but it does. Do your own independent research and chose your inspector wisely. You want trusted advice to protect you and your investment.
