Clarified Home Inspections

Shawn provided a great service for my home inspection. He made sure to go through all of his thoughts and findings with me in terms that were easy to understand. He also provided his suggestions and ideas as to the best to go about fixing some of those things.
Shawn was professional, prompt and courteous. I would highly recommend the service.

My wife and I are amazed at your thorough and detailed home inspection report Shawn!

As we read through your elaborate report, we could hardly believe our eyes at how every inch of the home is covered!

Shawn is an excellent inspector who covers A to Z of your new house and will provide you with an excellent comprehensive report which you can not only use for the buying decision, but also use in the future to fix any issues which might need fixing. He is very professional and friendly, and does a really good job in explaining everything he finds out.

Shawn was extremely professional and helped explain everything that he was doing and what needed to be done. As a First-time homebuyer having someone who can explain everything to you is a huge benefit. I would recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a home.

This is our second time with Shawn and again he's very thorough with his inspection and the report was very detailed and useful! He was not afraid at all to go up the roof in a very hot weather! I'm impressed with Shawn skills and knowledge and would definitely recommend him.

We put a conditional offer down on a new property in Mississauga and asked Shawn to come and conduct a Home Inspection as part of the conditions. The service delivered was prompt, comprehensive, and excellent in every regard. Shawn was professional and friendly, giving us excellent insight into the issues found at the property and allowing us to have certain additional conditions placed on the purchase.

The report was thorough and very accurate. It also contained a great deal of reference information to enable us to see the approximate cost of any future upgrades the property.

I would highly recommend Clarified Home Inspections. Thank you!

Shawn is, without fail, the easiest referral I make as a realtor. Honesty and integrity is a trait that should always be commended, and Clarified Home Inspections stands above and beyond in every way.
I've referred out Shawn countless times to all of my buyers and sellers over the past 7 years. Each and every client has been satisfied to the point where his review page is likely littered with a heavy number of them. I have not heard a word of complaint or regret in their decision to hire Shawn to perform the inspection.

I place my reputation on the line when I refer anyone out. If something should go wrong, it both reflects badly on that person, and on me for making the referral. However, I know that will never be a problem with Shawn. He exceeds expectations consistently and I will never ever choose someone else with the important role of a home inspector.

Simply put, he's the best, and he's the tier in which other inspectors should hope to achieve. Thank you for continuing to be such a important part of my business, Shawn.

Shawn is knowledgeable and speaks in plain terms. His service was excellent and he responds to questions quickly after the inspection. I would recommend him to any first time home buyers

I am going to try to be as balanced as I can here, and I have made these comments to Shawn by phone.
On the positive side, Shawn was great to deal with, very personable, arrived before we did and was already on the roof when we got there.
The walk through was thorough overall, and the report was easy to read with lots of pictures and tips.
Where things went offside was when Shawn was reluctant to open the access panel to the jacuzzi tub as he was concerned about damaging the paint. Our agent and I weren't willing to give him permission to proceed, so it was left unopened.
Subsequent to moving in, and using the tub, we found water had leaked (we could see this from the ceiling immediately below). In order to attempt to assess the situation, I decided to open the access panel and found it came off with very gentle pressure. Once open, mold was easily seen and we immediately called someone to assist us.
Their assessment was that the issue had been ongoing for sometime, and they could see not just mold but what appeared to be fungus.
We had intended to replace the tub with a walk-in shower, which I did tell Shawn, but this forced us to have to do so much sooner than anticipated, and added approximately $1,000 of costs to remediate the issue.
Ultimately my issue is the failure of imagination on Shawn's part - whether we were going to replace the tub or not is irrelevant. As my wife said, he should have suggested we seek permission from the seller or the seller's agent to open the panel rather than balk at the risk of damaging the paint. I am not the home inspector, he is, and I shouldn't be expected to know what's important to look at.
I will note that these comments have the benefit of hindsight, but considering that water is one of the worst enemies of a home, I don't feel they are unreasonable.

Shawn is a very professional, patient and experienced inspector. The inspection was done under a very detail procedure. I received a thorough inspection report, combined with not only the current defects of the property, but also with the potential risks. In addition, Shawn gave me very professional and sincere advice on how to fix the current defects of the property, and the potential costs. The advice was very helpful for me on negotiating the price with the seller. Shawn also helped me on the second time inspection after the defects was fixed by the seller. I really appreciate Shawn's hard work and professional advice. Last but not least, the inspection fee is very reasonable comparing with other suppliers.
