Surrey (Panorama Ridge) Home Inspection

David did a very meticulous job on inspecting our new house and provided excellent recommendations. We felt a lot more at ease once the house passed David's inspection. His report was very clear and helpful. I would highly recommend his service. Thank you, David!

North Delta House

I purchased a relatively newer home without an inspection as a subject to sale. I was weary that the investment in a home inspection was a waste of money, but David completely changed that perception. I learned a lot of valuable information about my new home due to his vast knowledge and I highly recommend David to anyone looking to learn about their home/potential home. The home care booklet and detailed inspection report are at the top end of his field. Thanks David.

Town house inspection

We recently hired David to inspect a town house in Langley, that we were considering buying, and were extremely satisfied with the service.

We were initially concerned since we were out of town buyers and couldn't be present for the inspection. But David put our mind at ease by agreeing to have our realtor and a friend present for the inspection. He even allowed our friend to crawl into the attic with him to inspect the roof.

At the end of the 3 hour inspection, we were emailed a detailed report and David even spent close to an hour on the phone walking us through each and every page in the report and answering all our questions. He also gave us some handy tips on preventative home maintenance. This was above and beyond what we had expected.

It was clear to us that David is passionate about what he does and has his client's best interests at heart.

We couldn't have been happier with David's services and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality home inspection.

Burnaby Home Inspection Townhouse

The plumbing was just one example of the issues David identified during his work. He has an incredible amount of knowledge and with a background in engineering I honestly think you'll be hard pressed to find a more pleasant and knowledgeable inspector in the region. I also have a background in engineering and was sceptical about the value of the inspection but David was very thorough and able to address all of my technical questions. Buying a home is a big decision and your inspector can make your life easy or very hard if they aren't knowledgeable. All I can say is use David.

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

My wife and I just had David Fairbairn inspect a home that we were interested in purchasing. David encouraged us to attend the inspection. He was extremely thorough, answered all of our questions as he proceeded and explained what he was doing. At the end of the inspection he took the time to go over his detailed report and explain his findings. It was clear from the outset that he was very capable and knowledgeable and was able to point out many issues that we could not see with our untrained eyes.
Most importantly, he found water damage in one wall and evidence of a small marijuana grow op under a staircase.
He is very professional and trustworthy. We are very pleased with his inspection and would not hesitate to use his services again. We would strongly recommend him to anyone needing home inspection.

Thank you again for your terrific inspection. Every day we are thankful that you found the grow op.

Thanks Matt, thanks for choosing me to inspect your first home. I'm glad we found a few issues before they became surprise expenses later on. Congratulations again!

Home inspection

I am a first time condo buyer and David was very personable and explained everything as we walked around the building and my unit (to be). He suggested some easy tips for little fixes around the place. The inspection was a bit less expensive than I expected and to top it off David gave me a Homeowner's Guide to repairs and upkeep.

I couldn't have been happier and I would use him again in a heartbeat. He came highly recommended by my realtor Lisa Gordon of Macdonald Realty.
