Residential
Comprehensive inspection services for homebuyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout the Columbia Valley.
Every inspection draws on years of hands-on building experience and building science expertise.
I don't just check boxes on a list. With 12+ years of construction experience—including passive house builds and deep energy retrofits—I understand how homes perform as complete systems. This means I can identify not just symptoms, but root causes.
All inspections include a detailed written report with clear photographs, prioritized findings, and practical recommendations you can act on immediately.
Buyer Inspections
Purchasing a home is likely the largest investment you'll make. A buyer inspection gives you a comprehensive understanding of the property's condition before you commit—empowering you to negotiate with confidence or walk away from costly surprises.
I evaluate all major systems and components, from the foundation to the roof. You'll receive a detailed report with clear photos and prioritized findings, so you know exactly what you're buying.
What's Included
- Structural components & foundation assessment
- Roofing, flashings & exterior cladding (drone-assisted where access is limited)
- Plumbing supply & drainage systems
- Electrical panel, wiring & outlets
- Heating, cooling & ventilation systems
- Insulation levels & vapor barriers
- Windows, doors & weather sealing
- Interior finishes & moisture indicators
- Grading, drainage & lot conditions
- Detailed written report with photographs
Pre-Sale Inspections
Selling your home? A pre-sale inspection helps you identify and address issues before buyers find them. This proactive approach leads to smoother negotiations, fewer surprises during the buyer's inspection, and often a faster sale at a better price.
I'll provide a clear picture of your home's condition so you can make strategic decisions about repairs—fix what matters, disclose what doesn't, and list with confidence.
What's Included
- Complete property condition assessment
- Identification of repair priorities (critical vs. cosmetic)
- Documentation suitable for buyer disclosure
- Recommendations for cost-effective pre-listing repairs
- Assessment of items likely to concern buyers
- Detailed written report with photographs
Home Maintenance Health Checks
Your home is a complex system that requires regular attention. A maintenance health check catches small issues before they become expensive problems—protecting your investment and keeping your family comfortable year-round.
Ideal for homeowners who want to stay proactive. I'll evaluate your home's current condition, identify maintenance priorities, and provide a clear action plan so you know where to focus your time and budget.
What's Included
- Seasonal maintenance assessment
- Building envelope & moisture evaluation
- Mechanical systems performance check
- Safety systems & general condition review
- Roof & exterior condition update
- Prioritized maintenance recommendations
- Estimated urgency for each finding
Insurance Renewal Inspections
Many insurance providers in British Columbia now require updated property inspections for policy renewals—particularly for older homes or properties that haven't been inspected recently. I provide thorough documentation that satisfies insurer requirements.
My reports are formatted to address the specific concerns insurance companies have: electrical safety, plumbing condition, roof life expectancy, heating systems, and overall property condition.
What's Included
- Property condition documentation for insurers
- Electrical system age & safety assessment
- Plumbing material & condition evaluation
- Roof condition & estimated remaining life
- Heating system type & condition report
