I Inspect 360

Frank was helpful, accommodating and thorough. Frank spent close to three hours navigating his way through our future home, while taking his time, to observe all items noted. He then patiently explained his findings using pictures and detailed descriptions. Furthermore, Frank, as a courtesy, suggested companies who could remedy some of the issues; which was very helpful. He went above and beyond his expected duties. We would highly recommend him.

Had a thorough home inspection with Frank and he walked us through everything. we're new to the home inspection world, he was friendly, answered all our questions and explained everything big and small. We appreciated Frank taking the time to do this and feel confident in the inspection report.

This was the first home inspection I have paid for. I have witnessed others for other people. For the purposes of this review I will review the experience from start to finish and provide an overall summary at the end.

Prior to inspection
I booked the home inspection through GPIweb.ca. Booking the inspection was easy and quick and can be done completely online. within mins I received a confirmation via email with re-Inspection Agreement, Invoice, Standards of Practices, Home Maintenance Guide, and iCal Link. If you are detail oriented, the information included in this package is informative. I also received a secondary email from Frank confirming the appointment and email introduction which was a very nice personal touch. A day before the inspection I also received a reminder email.

Inspection day

Frank got to the site earlier than the appointed time to review the exterior of the house. I was instantly greeted with a smile and a friendly introduction which is not necessary but a great personal touch.

Frank took his time to review every aspect of the house as per the agreement (and going above and beyond). He took the time to explain issues found, why they are issues, potential recommendations for next steps.

I also asked for personal opinions on some of the issues that were brought up and Frank was more than forthcoming with information. This particular property needs to have the basement dug out in order to finish the basement. I asked Frank approx how much this would cost. He admitted that he does not know for sure but would be willing to speak to his contacts in order to get me an approximate amount. I very much appreciate someone who can be truthful in admitting what they know and what they don't as well as going that extra mile to get the information for me.

This home had multiple bookings for the same time slot. Frank was also kind enough to not speak about the findings of the inspection while others were in the house (without my asking). This was very much appreciated by me since these other potentially interested parties didn't bring their own inspectors .

After the inspection

Frank provided the housing report in an electronic format via email within hours of the inspection. Digital photos were provided in the housing report which made things very easy to review at a later time and remind us of the extent of the issues. Frank also made himself available for any questions after the inspection was completed.

Overall I would absolutely not only use Frank's home inspection services again in the future I would also recommend him to others within the GTA. His professionalism, courtesy, knowledge, and diligence made him a pleasure to work with.

I was referred to Frank Bernardo by a friend and he mentioned that this company was really good and rates are competitive. This is my first experience getting a building inspection completed for my first house, so I don't have much to compare. But Frank did set the standard for the trade, he was very knowledgeable and had the appropriate tools to perform a thorough assessment. He did mentioned that he is afraid of heights but he does have the latest technology to inspect the roof inside and out. Other than that, he also made recommendations to us which saved us money down the road. Lastly, he also followed up with literature for aluminum wiring which was a helpful resource and also answered my questions promptly. Overall, I would recommend him because of his approachable nature and experience in his trade.

First Frank answered my call on a Saturday after one ring. He was personable and represented himself and his service very well and very honestly, clearly setting expectations and explaining limitations. Meeting him was a pleasure. He was punctual and extremely thorough and even offered to return after the close date to confirm nothing changed since the inspection. Also we will now be informed of any recalls to the furnace etc. Very impressive!

Frank bernardo inspected a house for me and I was really impressed with the knowledge he demonstrated,i am a realtor since 2003 and have been working with a lot of home inspectors and frank definitely would be one of the best home inspectors I came across.
my clients (buyers) were satisfied as well.
I would definitely be using frank for my future home inspections and would highly recommend his service as an home inspector.

Frank Bernardo inspected two houses for us. On both occasions, he demonstrated a solid knowledge of homes, professionalism, friendliness, and great work ethic. He was extremely thorough with the home inspection starting with the roof, exterior, interior, right down to the crawl space of a house. We were impressed that he had a separate pair of shoes that he wore inside the house to prevent from dirtying the place, showing respect for the properties that he inspects. He went the extra mile to climb into small spaces (through a trap door to the attic, and squeezing past tightly fitted appliances to reach the crawl space) to ensure that he could take pictures to make a thorough assessment of the property. He used up-to-date equipment to be able to measure various things in and around the house. During the inspection, he provided a lot of information about what he was finding, and also provided a lot of useful advice on future maintenance on the home. The next morning after the home inspection, Frank already sent us the home inspection report, which was detailed and contained many pictures to help illustrate the findings. A couple of months after completing the home inspection, he still promptly helped us by providing further details about the house when we were applying for home insurance. Overall, we highly recommend Frank Bernardo as a home inspector. He did a great job for us!!

Frank at iInspect was extremely thorough on both of our home inspections. He was very patient with all of our questions as first time home buyers. He went above and beyond to not only point of potential problems with the house we were looking at, but also to let us know the little maintenance things we'd need to do as future home owners. He found two holes in roof that another well known inspection company missed in the seller's inspection. We highly recommend his services as a home inspector.

Frank did a great job with our home inspection, he was professional and friendly, he explained things clearly and took his time inspecting our property, I would highly recommend Frank for home inspections.

Frank from Global Property Inspectors did my home inspection. He arrived at the house on time and started working right away. He was very thorough in his inspection. He took the time to answer any questions that I had. He was professional and polite. The inspection was completed in the afternoon and I had the finished inspection report that same day in the evening. I would recommend Frank to anyone looking for a good home inspector.
