Pre-Renovation Inspection

Once you have decided to go ahead with a renovation, we highly recommend a Pre-Renovation Inspection which is a full review of your home to determine:

  • Existing structural conditions

  • Feasibility of design objectives

  • Evaluation of existing operating systems

The goal of the Pre-Renovation Inspection is to ensure that your renovation goals are possible given the current state of your home. If there are any parts of your home unable to support your proposed renovation, we’ll show you how to rectify them.

Avoid wasting time and money by doing it right the first time.

Final Inspection for Renovations & Repair Projects

Protect yourself and ensure that your renovation or home repair project was done properly. Don’t make that final payment until you are confident that things were done right.

We can inspect full-scale renovations and smaller projects such as:

  • Re-roofing
  • Window replacement

  • Construction of a new deck

  • Basement remodelling

Our team of experts will perform a Final Inspection to confirm that your project adheres to industry standards, and honours the contract agreed upon by you and the contractor.

Don’t surrender your last bargaining chip – have your project inspected before you make that final payment!

Expert Home Repair Advice

Do you know what is really going on with your home? Identifying the root cause of an issue is the first step.

  • Does your basement need waterproofing or is your chimney cracked?

  • Is your roof leaking or do you have an attic ventilation issue?

  • Why do you have one room in your house that is always colder than the rest?

Book an on-site visit with one of our knowledgeable consultants. You can explain the ‘symptoms’ that you’ve experienced in person.

We will inspect your home and identify the source of the issue. We will recommend a cost effective and efficient solution to the problem. You will be provided with a detailed report that outlines the best course of action.

Don’t waste money on waterproofing your basement when the cause of your leaky basement is a cracked chimney.

  • Leaky basement

  • Leaky roof

  • Basement odour issues

  • Issues with heating and cooling systems
