I highly recommend David and wish him success in his business.

About to purchase 20 year old house in Richmond and wanted to move in quick, found them through Yelp. They were the first to reply among 5 providers and very detailed. They also charged reasonably! They were on time, professional, and submitted a 65 page concise report (complete with documentation photos) that same day about the property! With 2 young kids, moving is already stressful enough. As the buyer, I shouldnt get too many "surprises" once we've settled in. And of course, safety should be top priority before everything else! So happy with the report, now I can point out the major defects for the seller to fix asap/re-negotiate their asking price. Money well spent I must say!

Our experience with this company started at about 3 out of 5 stars and quickly became a 0 out of 5…read moreexperience. There were several issues but the biggest and most disappointing was when we specifically pointed out (in writing and verbally) that there are water stains on the ceiling on the 2nd floor, directly beneath the room where the AC/laundry is located. Little did we know, on move in day we would discover a serious leak, where water was actually dripping down into the 2nd floor (see photos). It was exactly where the water stain was that we pointed out. It was a hot day in August and the AC was leaking into the floor below. It's a surprise no new homeowner wants to discover. During the inspection, the verbal advise from the inspector was that there is no evidence of an existing leak, but we could negotiate with sellers to cover costs of paint to cover the look of the ceiling. In writing, these are the exact words "maintain contingency funds for repair/repainting to maintain appearance". At first there appeared to be some attempt to provide follow-up. Even coming to our house afterwards to chat about random things the inspector saw around the house. Unfortunately it's a little too late as the problem was these issues were not discovered before purchasing the house...during the initial inspection! There was no easy way for us to now go back to the sellers and negotiate they cover the costs or even decide to not buy the house. It was now ours and we were stuck with it. We understand that not everything can be thoroughly inspected during an inspection but the leak was something we were especially concerned about and specifically pointed out to them multiple times. This company either a) did not take our biggest concern into consideration enough to take a closer look, or b) they were not skilled enough to discover the cause of the leak during inspection. We paid an AC Technician to fix the leak. It ended up not being very expensive but it still left us being unconfident with our inspection that we already paid a lot of money for. On top of the leak, there were other issues that I won't go into details on. However, it includes major appliances not working, smell of gas coming from the basement, etc. After a few attempts at correspondence, this company has now completely ghosted us. At first they apologized for the delay in response due to being off during Labour Day. We have now not heard back from them since Sept 5th. It's too late for us as we placed our faith in the inspection done by this company and are stuck with this house. However, we wanted to share our experience so others won't experience the same.

I used Vancouver Home Inspections (Angelo) services last week for a single family home inspection…read moreon a 40 year old home (~3000sqft). We spoke a few days before and he explained the process to me very clearly. When I arrived at the agreed time, Angelo was already there early checking the outside of the property. We allowed him the time and space to thoroughly perform the inspection. He was equipped and used all the necessary tools I would have expected (inc. moisture meter where necessary and accessible). He thoroughly inspected the inside and outside of the property and identified several issues that we would have not been able to find ourselves. Once he had completed the inspection, he performed a full walk-through and showed us the minor and major issues. He provided us with a very detailed report a few days later. In the end we decided not to proceed with the purchase of this property due to a number of issues found. We will definitely request your services again as we continue our property search. I highly recommend Vancouver Home Inspections/Angelo and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends/family. Tip: make sure your sellers clear access for inspection (loft access, electric panels, etc) as this caused us some delay.

Unfortunately the first home we had Gary inspect we did not purchase but we made this decision based on Gary's inspection services of the home. His inspection likely saved us $50,000 + and a head-ache of problems with this particular home. We enjoyed his approach and extreme attention to detail within the report / follow-up explanation that we used him for the second home we set out to purchase. His second report was just as fantastic as the first! Gary really takes his time yet is super efficient and delivered the report to us within minutes of finishing the in person inspection. He spent another hour or so meeting with us in person to explain every detail and made recommendations on how to address each of the items he had pointed out as potential fixes. We would recommend Gary to any of our friends and family!! Great price, great service and overall super pleasant person to do business with. Thank you Gary!!!
