Home Inspection

We had Andy do the home inspection for our first home. From the moment he walked in and introduced himself, I found him to be very pleasant, which made the process quite enjoyable. He was thorough and knowledgeable, stopping to point certain things out to us and willing to share tips on how to give our home longevity. He made every effort to access and assess all the areas of the home, even those that weren’t easily accessible, going above and beyond, removing shelves to get into the attic space and leaning his ladder against the side of a structure in order to properly view the roof. He was considerate enough to offer to return at a later date to check the heating once the weather changed. He was a pleasure to work with and we were very pleased with his services. He was kind enough to let us know that he’ll be available going forward should we ever need him and that is greatly appreciated! We will definitely work with him again!

Home Inspection

Andy was thorough and professional. He spent time during and after, even when we had additional questions. We used him on more than one occasion. His review was thorough and practical, with all the relevant information highlighted.

Home Inspection

Andy was amazing! We were buying a century home and wanted to make sure we weren't buying a money pit. He was so thorough and poked into EVERY nook and cranny. Even dug through insulation to look for guano and knob and tube. Even after getting paid he has answered our email questions or phone calls promptly. Highly recommend.

Sellers Inspection

Professional, prompt, customized and very thorough. Any deficiency came with a proposed “fix”.

Andy is very amicable and easy to talk to. He explains exactly what he’s going to do for understanding. A very different inspection from the conventional, tick the box format.

Excellent service from Andrew

I had contacted the company through Homestars and received a response right away. Andrew was able to complete the home inspection within a few days, and was easy to work with. He was friendly, personable, and took his time making sure he didn't miss anything. The actual inspection took a little over 3 hours, and I received the report later that night. The report was in great detail, filled with recommendations for me moving forward.

I would definitely recommend Safe Homes Canada to family and friends, and would like to say thank you to Andrew!

Century Home Peace of Mind

I've worked with Andy on two separate century home inspections - both experiences were the same - insightful and in-depth. When looking at a century home, or any home, an inspection is critical - most inspections will tell you what is wrong with a home. Andy's inspections will tell you what is wrong, what is good, what to look out for, and what sort of maintenance will be required to keep the home in good order. The report you get is not the standard checklist of items, it is an in-depth story of the home. If you looking to buy a home and not just a house I'd recommend investing the money in an inspection report from Safe Homes Canada.

Home inspection

As a real estate agent, I regularly deal with many home inspectors. Andy truly stands out from the crowd; his knowledge, thoroughness ( rarely you see an inspector fully go in the attic or the roof in the winter!) and ability to communicate his findings, makes him a great asset. Whether you're a first time buyer, on your fifth home or a veteran investor, relying on Andy and his company will give you the confidence to make the right decisions.

More about Safe Homes Canada

Safe Homes Canada is THE MOST THOROUGH home Inspection company in Canada. And that is PROVABLE. We walk and crawl all the way through attics and crawlspaces, examine all elements fully, while approximately 90% of home inspectors look inside from access points. We also fully inspect roofs - every surface and flashing - all winter long, while most inspectors say they cannot be inspected. Massive change is required in this industry, as there is no requirement for home inspectors - in any association Standard of Practice - to go all the way into attics and crawlspaces. So most home buyers are at risk relating to rotted structure, mould, asbestos, etc.
We are a civil engineering technology-based home inspection company that has been committed to integrity and excellence for a quarter of a century.

Our custom-typed reports are photo-driven, free of generic hyperbole, and grounded in the vernacular of building sciences, and are GUARANTEED.

Here is a simple tip for interviewing home inspectors: ask them exactly how they will inspect the attic. The only correct answer is, 'We go all the way through it, unless it is super-tight, so we can check all sheathing for mould, prod structural wood, and dig test holes for asbestos, bat guano, wood chips, etc.

Don’t risk costly surprises when you buy your next home. Call Safe Homes Canada first!
