Home Inspections
After years of working in the new home building industry, Steve brings real world knowledge directly to you.
When you hire me for a home inspection, you aren’t just paying for a person with a flashlight and a checklist; you are paying for an eye that has seen the tricks and knows what to look for. My background with hands-on home building, paired with a deep knowledge of the Tarion Home Warranty program, allows me to offer a level of protection that many inspectors simply cannot reach.

Buying a home is likely the largest financial commitment you’ll ever make, and a professional home inspection is your primary defense against the unknown. Beyond the fresh paint and staging, a home can harbor "silent killers" like structural instability, outdated wiring, or hidden moisture intrusion.

An inspection transforms an emotional purchase into a logical business decision. It provides the leverage you need to negotiate repairs or walk away from a "money pit." Ultimately, it’s about certainty—ensuring that the roof over your head is as solid as the investment you’re making.
​
Not only is a home inspection a valuable tool for the purchase or sale of older homes, that were built to a different standard than we see today, inspections are equally important on new homes. Many homes built today are mass produced by contractors offering the lowest possible bid, this doesn't mean that the homes are bad, but it does mean that trades are more likely to cut corners that can be missed by over-burdened site supervisors trying to keep up.
​
The good news with new homes is that you have coverage through Tarion for repairs on your home, this coverage has specific timelines on reporting depending on the issue. I know what to look for and can offer you guidance so you're not left holding the bag on repairs that the builder should have been responsible for.
