Home Inspection

Fairbairn Home and Building Inspection did an inspection of our new home to ensure we weren't buying a lemon. He went into great detail about the issues he discovered and walked us through everything we needed to know to remedy them. He was friendly and his expertise was evident. I would highly recommend him for any and all home inspections :)

Mid-Century Home Inspection - New Westminster

My wife and I purchased a fixer-upper home that required much work and we wanted to get an idea on which repairs we needed to tackle first before the cosmetic upgrades. We hired David and he was very thorough and very knowledgeable. He discovered a foundation settlement, in the corner of the house, that showed signs of possible movement causing the floor to sink 1 inch. He suggested to get it reviewed by a concrete specialist for stability before any renovations take place. Walking through the inspection with David was a pleasure as he educates you on his findings and gives you maintenance tips. I HIGHLY recommend David for any type of home inspection. Worth it!

Two inspections

David inspected the townhouse we were purchasing for our parents. He explained everything to us and identified the one major issue regarding a leak in the washroom tiles. He did a balanced assessment of the situation that led us to putting a subject in our contract before purchasing. Working with him led us to hiring him for a maintenance inspection on our own house. He spent a lot of time explaining how our house works and also identified an issue that could potentially become much worse over time. He gave us recommendations when asked and advised us properly on the course of actions to take. It was a pleasure working with David and highly recommend him if you are purchasing properties. Also highly recommend his maintenance inspection if you bought a property in this recent 'seller's market'

Bathtub Inspection

I had David in this past week to inspect a tub that was leaking in my girlfriends condo. David was thorough in his investigation, explained things to me along the way and overall was exceptionally professional in his work. He wrote a detailed report that accurately reflected what he described to me on site, I had a great experience with Fairburn Inspection and would recommend them to anyone.

White Rock Home Inspection

David was professional, courteous but most importantly extremely knowledgeable. He walked me through the entire process, explaining not only current issues but also things to watch for in the future. His passion for the trade is clear and I learned more in one morning about home ownership than I had in five years on my own. I would absolutely recommend David.

Downtown Vancouver Condo

Excellent inspection job. My inspector, David paid attention to every detail of the place and made sure that everything was checked out. There were things that I did not see by myself , but he was able to point them out and determine whether it was severe or not. Highly recommend him and I have already recommended him to a friend.
