Inspection for our townhome

We were referred to Michael Zegarra by a close friend of the family and we were not disappointed. He was very patient and thorough for the walkthrough of the home while being friendly and professional. He made sure we understood everything clearly, and very shortly after this he provided us with a full written report via email. The report was complete with photos and detailed accounts of everything he had previously mentioned. We are happy with his services and look forward to moving day.

Home Inspection

Michael came recommended by our realtor to complete a home inspection on an apartment my wife and I were looking to purchase. Michael was thorough, detailed and meticulous in his inspection of our potential new home. Upon reviewing his work with us, he was clear, detailed and professional; he made sure we understood what his observations were before moving on to each room. We found Michael to be very valuable and would recommend him to our friends.

Hi Jon!

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. I'm so happy everything worked out for you and that the home inspection process was detailed and clear. The inspection process can be overwhelming at times and even highly emotional at times. Glad to communicate my findings to your satisfaction!

Congratulations Jon!

Best,
Michael

Home Inspection

We had made an offer on an older home and were against the clock to get an inspection and have the subjects removed. Michael was able to fit us in at short notice and gave us a detailed report. He also ran through the high level details on site with us so we fully understood the implications etc. The report allowed us to e-negotiate our offer and therefore to allow for works that needed to be taken care of sooner than we would have anticipated. Definitely a worth while exercise and Michael made things a lot less stressful! He also followed up with us the next day to see if we had any further questions as by then we had digested all the information.

Inspection for Condo

2nd time we've had Michael do an inspection for us. He is fast in responding, flexible scheduling, very thorough with his analysis of the property, produces an inspection report within 24hours. Makes the closing process of purchasing a home much smoother.

Home inspection

Michael responded immediately to our Realtor's after-hours request to perform a home inspection. The home inspection was performed the next day in a very comprehensive manner, and was accompanied shortly thereafter with a complete report. We would highly recommend Michael in the future, and appreciate his timeliness.

HOME INSPECTION

I had initially wrote a review for zegarra-residential inspection because Michael zegarra asked me to. but as soon as we moved to our new home after he had done the inspection and confirming that they was no leak, my son went to take a bath and water was leaking from the kitchen ceiling. i have no idea how he missed that! now i am left with some big plumbing repairs and water damage restoration to do!

Hi Sandrine & Gerald,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It is unfortunate to hear of this leak occurring upon moving into your home. We have been in communication regarding this matter. A home purchase is a large investment and an emotional one indeed. We endeavor to provide an accurate condition of the property and home on day of inspection. Part of your due diligence was to follow through with reviewing in full the Home Inspection Report and its recommendations. The ceiling stain was identified to you and your Agent during the walk through, explained the process of testing and recommendation. It was prudent to obtain repair history for any possible plumbing leaks to ensure it has been correctly repaired by a Plumbing Contractor. From our communication you noted the Seller provided limited information regarding this ceiling stain prior to you taking possession. The most recent communication from the Listing Agent provided some additional insight on this condition which was not disclosed on the PDS.

Your Home Inspection Report also included a lengthy list of deficiencies and actions documented from the non-invasive home inspection. One being the request for documentation/permits for renovations including plumbing and electrical work within the dwelling/unauthorized suite. This information would be prudent in making an informed decision prior to removal of any subjects on the purchase of your 17 year old home. Glad that your husband will re-engage communication with the Seller to gather information of the renovation work. Best to correct any safety issues as a priority.

I do wish your family the best moving forward and always available for guidance.

Home Inspection

My fiance and I are so grateful to have Michael, inspect our new place. We booked him 1-2 days before the inspection and he managed to make room in his busy schedule for us.

Michael was very professional and informative throughout the whole inspection. He inspected not just the interior portion of the condo but also the exterior portion such as the roof and the parkade. He was very detailed and explained a lot of what he was looking for during the inspection and he even has a device that measured the moisture in the bathroom walls, which I thought was impressive. He even gave us advice on what to do with leakages/ damage or how to insure better safety in the home.

Overall, Michael really made us feel very comfortable and did not hesitate to explain a lot of things to me. I definitely recommend him, especially if you are a first time home buyer!

Home Inspection

Michael was professional, friendly, and polite. He did a very thorough inspection of our prospect home and took pictures of deficiencies that he found. I had to leave before the inspection finished and Michael was willing to discuss the deficiencies in depth with my realtor that evening and then with me again over the phone the next day. His report is very detailed, including pictures he took and illustrations to make the issues clear. After the sellers had the opportunity to work on the deficiencies, Michael was able to do another walk-through with us to determine which deficiencies were still outstanding.

Overall, we were very satisfied with Michael, and we will definitely recommend Michael to any of our family members or friends looking for a house inspector!

Hi AC

So glad to meet you again at your new home to perform the deficiency inspection. We are all now very confident the builders have addressed and repaired the list of issues. Look forward to seeing both of you again prior to your 5 year home warranty expiry.

Best,
Michael

Home Inspection

Called Michael to do an inspection, he was able to schedule one in two days later, fairly short notice.

Inspection was professional, educational and very thorough. Extremely happy with his service, and the full inspection. Although we did not end up buying the home, I will absolutely be using his service again for another home inspection.
