You are welcome to attend, ask questions during the walkthrough, and follow up after the report is delivered.

View inspection servicesEach service is defined by the inspection agreement signed before work begins.
A visual inspection for homebuyers before completing a purchase, subject to the purchase agreement and available access. Identifies observed conditions that may require attention, repair, monitoring or further evaluation.
For sellers who want to understand the condition of their home before listing. Helps identify items you may wish to address and reduces surprises during a buyer's inspection. It does not guarantee what another inspector may find.
A practical inspection for current homeowners who want an updated overview of their home's visible condition and maintenance priorities. Useful for older homes or for planning an annual maintenance schedule.
A focused inspection of visible systems inside the unit, plus accessible areas the client is responsible for. Common elements, status certificates and corporation records require separate review by the appropriate professionals.
A home inspection adapted to townhouse construction and ownership. Covers accessible components within the agreed scope and identifies items that may fall to the unit owner or to a common-element responsibility.
A visual review of accessible finishes, installed components and readily observable concerns in a newly built home. The stage — pre-delivery, 30-day, one-year or other warranty inspection — is confirmed when booking.
A return visit to visually review specific items from the original report once repairs are reported complete. A reinspection is not a warranty of workmanship, and concealed work may need documentation from a qualified contractor.
A limited visual check focused on seasonal concerns such as drainage, exterior penetrations, heating or cooling operation and attic conditions. Narrower than a full home inspection; the scope is agreed in advance.
Call or email with the property address, type, approximate age and size, and your timeline. We will confirm the right service, the scope and the fee before anything is booked.
Every property is different. The exact inspection scope, exclusions and limitations are defined in the inspection agreement signed before the inspection.
A visual, non-invasive review of visible and readily accessible components within the agreed scope. Depending on the property, access, safety, weather and operating conditions, it may include the items below.
A standard home inspection is not destructive and does not reveal every hidden condition. Where a condition warrants it, the report recommends further evaluation by a qualified professional.
Home-inspection education through the Carson Dunlop Home Inspection Training Program, covering the systems below along with reporting and professional practice.
These are training areas, not a government licence. Communication and professional practice is part of the education program rather than a physical inspection service.

As a local homeowner, I understand how important it is to have clear information before making decisions about a property.
Send the property address, property type, approximate age and size, your preferred date, and your contact information. A call is often the fastest way to sort out the details.
You receive confirmation of the service, fee, appointment details and the inspection agreement. The agreement is reviewed and signed before the inspection begins.
Clients are encouraged to attend at the agreed time, subject to seller, occupant, builder and site-access rules. Questions are welcome throughout.
You receive a written report describing observed conditions, limitations and recommendations, normally within [your delivery time].
Contact us with reasonable questions about the report during the follow-up period of [number] days after delivery.
Reports are organized to help you understand significant observations, supporting photographs, location details and suggested next steps. Findings are prioritized consistently, without exaggerating risk.
