Home Inspection

Do not fall for the FAKE reviews this guy gets on his website because we did. We just realized that it is virtually impossible that 80 people gave him a perfect 10/10 score. We then actually read these reviews and realized we were duped.

We have seen this person's work and it is terrible. He gives does a BASIC inspection and presents it on a cheap DOLLAR store binder with generic "fill in the blanks" reports. I've had inspections before and the reports from other inspectors were detailed and presented in a professional matter. He is also very quiet and doesn't explain things well to the point that we never knew if it was a big deal or not. Whenever we ask if the problem is a big problem or not he would just tell us to "seek professional advice"... really?
My advice is to avoid, we created an account to warn others not to fall for the fake reviews about this guy.

Company Response

We found the above review surprising and disappointing,

Our company - the Reliable Home Inspection & Thermal Imaging Inc. - has been listed on the Homestars site in the Home Inspection Category in Ottawa since 2011. A registered home inspector (RHI) who is also a certified master home inspector and a professional engineer does all the inspections. We encourage all our clients to be present during these inspections. The Inspector uses cutting edge inspection tools including thermal imaging camera (from Testo-Germany and Fluke- USA), moisture meter (from GE USA), and an airflow meter. Finally, written/electronic reports are provided to the client on completion of the inspection. Each client report has its own unique tracking number.

The Reliable Home Inspection & Thermal Imaging Inc Company was awarded the title of the 'Best Home Inspection Company' in Eastern Ontario in 2011, 2012 & 2013 by Homestars based on client reviews. It is the standard practice of the Homestars site to have the reviews it receives verified by a Verification Team. 87 reviews about our Company have so far been posted on the Homestars site all of which, with the exception of the one from “Sandra from Ottawa” have been favourable. Clients reviews from officers of the Canadian armed forces, university professors and diplomats. Overall, we have done more than 3000 home inspections in Ottawa region since 2004 and about 80 % of these inspections were the results of referrals by satisfied Clients.

Home Inspection

I would highly recommend Manjur for his detailed, meticulous and professionalism. I am very impressed with the result of the thermal image, which identified the improper insulation at the Attic and poor performance of AC. I really have a piece of mind with his inspection

Home purchase.

Manjur conducted our home inspection with accuracy, efficiency, and courtesy. He identified issues and explained clearly how the issues could be fixed. He took the trouble of going deeper than the surface and revealed hidden problems. His service helped us in making a purchase decision with eyes wide open. I would recommend his service to all my friends.

I called Reliable Home Inspection for a home inspection on short notice. Manjur returned my call quickly and was available for the time frame I asked for. He arrived on time and did a very thorough inspection and took the time to explain his findings. I would totally recommend him and his company.

Home Inspection

Manjur Mirza was very skilled, professional, fast, and thorough. I had forgotten to confirm the meeting, but he was still able to make it with little notice. He saved us an $8000 repair bill for a house we had bid on. I recommend him to all my friends and family here in Ottawa, and anyone looking for a trustworthy home inspector.

Home Inspection

Very thorough and professional! I was worried I would find someone that would spend all the time on their computer rather than looking at the house, but Manjur was fantastic! He had all the fancy gear and showed me everything he saw, while talking me through it and explaining what I needed to know. I can honestly say I am 100% sure that I know the ins and outs of the property I am purchasing. I have a binder of information and a slew of pictures. Don't think twice this is your guy!

Home Inspection

Manjur was very quick to respond for the request and flexible with providing time even though he is very busy with his scheduling. He was very keen to attention to details; he explained each and everything very clearly and provided recommendations on what is good to do, what is must to do. At the end of the inspection, I had great understanding of what were the major issues, what I should consider improving the home and how, I had a full report on his findings and he sent me a copy of all the pictures he had used for his assessment. He used thermal imaging to check hidden issues; it reassured that there are no hidden issues. He provided us tips on how to maintain the home. I strongly recommend Manjur for home inspection and he charges you very reasonable and his knowledge is his asset and he is patient to explain everything you ask.

Home inspection

We hired Manjur to do a home inspection. He replied to my email right away and I was able to book the inspection on very short notice. He was very meticulous in his assessments and provided us with great recommendations. His use of the thermal imaging was great and it really reassured us that there were no hidden issues.

At the end of the inspection, I had great understanding of what were the major issues, what I should consider improving the home and how, I had a full report on his findings and he sent me a copy of all the pictures he had used for his assessment.

I would definitely recommend Reliable Home Inspection & Termal Imaging Inc to others. They have a great price. Manjur is professional, on time, and very knowledgeable!

Home Inspection

Manjur did two inspections for us. The first inspection helped us not to buy a lemon. Using his thermal imaging he spotted a problem that would be impossible to find without it - mice infestation in the attic. He also did an inspection on our second property and passed that one. We highly recommend him. He is thorough, reliable, punctual, honest and extremely professional.
