I found TRU Inspections on Google, looking for a Home Inspector in the GTA for a Pre-Purchase Inspection to be done in Richmond Hill. What made me pick TRU Inspections was, not only was he rated highly with perfect reviews, but his sample report was organized neatly, with great details, lots of pictures, and diagrams explaining the problem. Other reports I have seen, including my first home inspection report, did not have as much detail and supporting documentation as TRU Inspections report. As this is our second time going through a home inspection process, you would think I have an idea what to expect. Anton surpassed my expectation with his attention to detail, patience, his incredible thoroughness, and his expert knowledge. I never saw or felt like he was rushing to complete it and go get it over with. I really appreciated that. When Anton arrived, he talked us through his process of the inspection, some of the high-tech tools he would use, and explain any defects he finds with possible fixes. He tested and check everything, showing us foundational problems, deck issues, tested electrical outlets, looked at door swings on cabinets and entryways, humidity in the concrete, infrared camera for heating ducts...he checked everything. By the time the inspection was done, he is so efficient, he offered right then and there to send a summary report. I am so glad to have had Anton inspect the house, as now we have much better idea of the condition of the house and what issues to monitor going forward. I highly recommend TRU Inspections, you won't be disappointed. read more

I was considering placing an offer on a house; everything seemed fine, but to be sure I haven't missed anything I scheduled a home inspection with Anton. It was the best decision I could have made. He was very accommodating with the time and was able to do the inspection on a short notice. The service was very thorough, no shortcuts: from the foundation all the way to the roof and gutters on the outside and from the basement to the attic on the inside (including a thermal scan of every room and moisture testing in the basement). He checked water, heating, ventilation, electrical panel and visible wiring, every electrical switch and outlet, every drawer, faucet, drain, window, and more. Just the explanations I received during the inspection were well worth the service fee. He pointed at things I totally missed when looking at the house the first time around. The report I received after the inspection was 52 pages long with pictures, comments, and recommendations. It included a link to the information on the ballpark costs for fixing and renovating. While in the end, I decided not to go through with the offer I feel like it was money well spent. A small price to pay for knowing what you're getting into and avoiding buyer's remorse. I will absolutely use TRU Inspections the very next time I'm about to place an offer on a house. read more

As first time home buyers in Toronto's expensive housing market, my husband and I were pressured to drop our home inspection condition on every offer we submitted. On our recent home purchase, the seller relented and accepted our home inspection condition late that night as long as it could be arranged for the following morning. We scrambled to find a home inspection service at 10:30pm, which was stressful to say the least! After searching online we came across TRU Inspections with it's outstanding reviews. Anton was kind enough to answer his phone that night and stay up until our offer was finalized at 11pm. We booked him for 9am the next morning. He arrived on time and explained how the home inspection would work. He explained his entire process and gave us advice throughout the home inspection. He also gave us a plan on how to approach any maintenance work required in the future. His final report was detailed, thorough, and timely. Our seasoned real estate agent was also impressed with his work. Anton eased our nerves and gave us an in depth look at our new home. He was also kind enough to offer to answer any questions we may have in the future. We are happy to report we are proud home owners and confident in our home purchase thanks to Anton! read more

I am a Realtor and have worked with a number of inspectors. Anton became my go to for home inspections. He consistently impresses me with his quality of work, knowledge and professionalism. It is important for a buyer to understand any immediate issues as well as deferred maintenance items that could be on the horizon. Sure, any inspector is there to dig up all the issues/potential problems in a home so a buyer can make an informed purchase, but a great inspector goes beyond that and educates the buyer on how it all works. I enjoy following him and my clients around as they get to know what will hopefully be their new home and learn something every time. Anton has the ability to be extremely thorough while answering questions and providing valuable insight to a potential new homeowner. After receiving his detailed report, my buyers and I can feel confident in evaluating our next steps. Highly recommend his services! read more

This was our first-time experience and we were not sure what to expect. Anton took time to introduce us to how inspection is done and addressed each of our numerous questions. Anton made sure we understand each detail, structure, and element of the house inspected, and he explained our options in each case imperfections were discovered. Advance tools Anton used like Infrared imagining scanning through walls, and flying drone taking high resolution photos of hard to reach roof sections have increased our confidence in completeness of the inspection. The entire inspection was very detailed, verifying condition, lifespan and function of each structure, function, and appliance in each room in the house. Anton has provided very detailed report same day, in a couple hours after the inspection. It was very pleasant and positive experience with highly professional specialist. Highly recommended. read more

Anton is an amazing inspector. We had him inspect the house we wanted to purchase, and the experience with him was very smooth and pleasant. He performed a very thorough inspection without missing anything major as well as everything minor. Nothing will be left unnoticeable by him. He is a very knowledgable professional that will go even an extra mile in order to make sure everything is alright and nothing is left out. He also provides a great comprehensive report with supporting images, graphs and necessary evidence and professional recommendations. What we also liked about him was the fact that he doesn't rush and takes his time to examine, explain and answer all the questions that can arise. We would definitely recommend Anton for all your property inspection requirements. You won't regret a second and will become another satisfied customers, just like us. read more

My fiancee and I just purchased a home and wanted to do an inspection for peace of mind and to find out what areas we should keep an eye on. After a quick search, I contacted Anton through his web site/text and received a response within minutes (this was on a Saturday evening). He booked me in for an inspection scheduled for less than 24 hours later. Arrived on time and was extremely thorough during his 3-hour walkthrough. He explained in detail the things he was looking for, items to keep an eye on and answered all of the questions we had, putting us at ease with a few items we thought were issues. The full report was received within 7 hours of him leaving. We will be using his findings to prioritize improvements to the home and can't recommend him enough if you're looking to have an inspection done. The 5-star average rating is deserved! read more

We were on a very restricted timeline to get our new house inspected. Though we didn't just want to book any home inspector. Reading reviews on various areas (Homestars/Google Reviews & other sites), TRU Inspections was always with the highest grade of reviews. When we called to book them, they were polite and professional from the first call and throughout the entire experience. Anton was early for the inspection, used some high quality equipment, explained everything to me and my wife in full detail, took his time, checked areas that we didn't knew we should be checking. He provided a thorough detailed report which blew our mind. While I don't expect to need to do another home inspection for a while, if anyone ever asks me (friend or family), I will tell them TRU Inspections is the only inspector I would trust. read more

I had an outstanding experience with home inspector Anton from Tru Inspections! Anton's attention to detail and thoroughness left me incredibly impressed. He meticulously examined every nook and cranny of the property, uncovering potential issues that I would have never noticed in a new construction. Anton's knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the inspection process. He took the time to explain his findings in a clear and understandable manner, ensuring that I had a complete understanding of the home's condition. His report was not only detailed but also included helpful recommendations for addressing any concerns he identified. I highly recommend Anton and Tru Inspections to anyone in need of a top-notch home inspection service. They truly go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service! read more

Anton came to inspect our potential new home recently and we found him to be super helpful. The way he answered our questions was very easy for us to understand and he frequently volunteered more information that we didn't ask for (mainly because we didn't know better to ask). He was straightforward and very realistic with his explanations as well. Whenever we saw a space that needed repairs, he would provide a number of recommendations based on different budgets. Anton was very open to answering questions and the impression that I got from him is that he values the quality of his work more than anything. He got our report to us by the end of the day. His reports were very easy to understand, included pictures and diagrams, and organized in a way that we felt made sense. Would recommend read more

I am in process of buying a condo and after seeing 25-30 options and looking at listed prices felt awkward re. potential hidden defects. To make a justifiable counter-offer I decided to call the inspectors recommended by friends. I was verbally shocked with the tools used during the inspection - those reminded me futuristic science fiction movies with laser pointers and infrared screens that measured humidity, temperature, voltage, airflow, etc. It was a condo and the work took just under 90 minutes. As a result I knew all the weak (and strong) points of the residence as well as how to use and maintain various equipment. In just several hours I received full official report with the outcome supported by pictures and useful links. Needless to say, I used it to drop the listing price by $30k. read more

We bought a 100yo home about 3 years ago and did some renovation on it, but although we had a home inspection before buying, there are always new "surprises" waiting for us. After getting a bunch of those during last winter we decided to have a home inspector come again and walk with us around the house looking for potencial problems and helping us understand how everything works. We had the inspection last night and today I woke up to a nice report, with descriptions of what should be prioritized. We also got a huge manual that I am calling "How houses are built and how to maintain them" which is great. Anyways... I am feeling a huge releve now that Understand what is going on on this old house of mine. read more

Anton at TRU Inspections did an extremely thorough job. He had a drone and ladder so that he could properly inspect the roof, upper-level windows, and the chimney. Anton walked around the property with me and explained the different deficiencies in detail, and offered advice on how to fix the issues, estimated costs, and whether they were significant or minor deficiencies. Anton completed the home inspection report the same day the inspection was completed and scheduled a call with me to walk me through the report and explain the different sections. Overall, Anton and TRU Inspections provided meaningful guidance on my home purchase and I am extremely thankful for his detailed work and hands-on approach. read more

I usually don't write formal reviews, but I wanted to express my admiration and appreciation for the great job that was done by home inspector Anton. The process of buying a new house is quite stressful and the last thing you want to find is that your house is full of "surprises". Thanks to Anton we managed to find a lot of hidden pain points and we were able to address our concerns with the current owner so that it could be addressed prior to closing. The report we received was professional and thoroughly done and will be helpful for us to look at fixing some small details and to avoid potential issues in the future. I highly recommend Anton for all your house inspection needs! read more

Anthon did an amazing job with inspecting both my property for sale as well as inspecting my new property for purchase. He came recommended to me, and he did met and exceeded the recommendation. He was amazingly thorough in his inspection and was able to walk me thru step by step everything that he was doing. Any issues that he came across he gave me a detailed explanation on what needed to be done to fix them. His reports included great aerial photography from his drone and many photos of anything that caught his eye. His report was very detailed and included all the photos for reference. He was very courteous, informative, and a pleasure to talk to during both inspections. read more

Anton came to do an inspection on our commercial property. A 20,000 square foot warehouse and did us a huge favour by being extremely thorough and letting us know about quite a few issues with the building before we committed to the deal. We were supposed to sign off on an inspection report that said everything was fine done by someone else and then Anton showed what wasn't right in the report. The landlord has promised to resolve those problems free of charge to us and in the long run has saved us possibly tens of thousands of dollars in things we would've signed off on if not for Anton. I highly recommend Anton to anyone and will use him for future business moves! read more

We found Anton Pranov through our real estate agent and we were absolutely delighted by his professional expertise, smooth communication and positive attitude. Within a couple of hours he inspected our new house and managed to find some very important issues that we couldn't see or notice upon regular buyer's visit. Anton also spent some time to explain all the nuances to us and provided an incredibly detailed, clearly structured and thoroughly visualised report. I think that visuals are particularly helpful for first-time home buyers like us with zero experience in house management ;) Thank you, Anton, for your great service and it is our pleasure to be your clients! read more
