AllMax Home Inspection reviews (884)

From the moment we got out of the car we hit it off with Allan. He was professional, yet very easy to talk to. He walked us through the house and educated us about so many different things. He was very proficient with the home inspection and has helped us make our purchase decision. We will definitely recommend his services to our family and friends. Eva & Frank

We purchased a new property and needed a pre-purchase home inspection. Cavin, the home inspector from Almax, completed a thorough inspection of the property. During the inspection, Cavin explained what he found, why it was important and what measures could be taken to resolve any problems. He answered all our questions with patience and professionalism offering guidance and helpful suggestion. The written report was thorough, well-written, clear and informative. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to friends and family. By Josie and Abdul

We had a pre Tarion home inspection done by Alan. Alan was very honest and fair, the report was received quickly and with much details. He addressed all of our concerns and it was the best 475.00 spent for piece of mind. I would recommend him highly, he was professional, and pleasure to deal with. Many Thanks. Cathy C.

Our Allmax home inspection saved us from spending over $30,000 in much needed repairs to the house we were looking at purchasing! We were given detailed information as to what the problems were, why they were happening and what would need to be done to correct them. Our full report was received the same night via email, it was very detailed with pictures taken from the property. Overall, our inspector was very kind, honest and knowledgeable. He encouraged questions and took his time explaining issues and answering our questions. We will definitely be recommending Allmax home inspections to all of our family and friends! Thanks again Alan! Jennifer Gwilliam

I contacted Allmax Home Inspection by email for a pre-sale inspection of my (approx.) 1000 sq ft condo on a Tuesday. I was impressed with the speedy response time to my original email, which was within a minute or so of me hitting “send”. Alan returned my call and sounded very professional on the phone and he promptly arranged for a Thursday inspection which he indicated would last about 1 hour. Alan was a little late for our appointment but he sent me a text advising of this a few minutes before our appointment. The inspection lasted 30 minutes during which time Alan took 4 or 5 phone calls. I personally didn’t feel he was focused on my inspection as much as he was on his repeated phone calls. A 30 minute inspection, while taking multiple calls did not give me a strong sense of assurance that his inspection was thorough or his main priority. Or maybe he was a good multi-tasker. At the end of the inspection, I paid Alan and he indicated I would have the inspection report emailed to me the next day. When I didn’t receive the inspection report as promised on Friday, I contacted Alan on Saturday morning asking about the status. He replied that it would arrive later that day. I ultimately received the inspection report early Sunday morning. I would have preferred he would have been more accurate on his promised turnaround time. While I am not an expert in this field, the actual inspection report was 29 pages long and appeared templated with a few mentions of my actual property - but was otherwise acceptable. In my final comments, I would say that his overall inspection was adequate. While he might have several potential customers calling him during his inspections, I believe that he could better serve his actual clients by focusing on their property during the live inspections and save the multiple phone calls for later. Lastly, integrity is important to me, so I would suggest that Allmax not promise clients a 1 day turnaround on an inspection report if it takes 3 days to complete.

Very easy to deal with. They are extremely prompt from the first point of contact to the follow email report at the end. Gavin was our inspector and was very patient with all our questions. We've already referred this team to others!

I called Alan with an urgent request for an inspection of a home I was looking to purchase, and I was able to get an appointment with Gavin for the next day. Gavin called the morning of to confirm the appointment and was waiting for me at the property when I arrived. Gavin was very detailed and encouraged me to ask as many questions as possible and was able to provide insight on many problems that were not disclosed in the seller's inspection. There were signs potential mould and asbestos in the home and issues with the electrical , roof and foundation all of which Gavin picked up on. With two young children in my household, these were definitely concerns. With Gavin's recommendation I requested the seller allow me to perform mould and asbestos tests at my own expense and they refused (probably because they knew it would be discovered). I definitely dodged a bullet thanks to Gavin and AllMax and will definitely be using them for my next inspection.

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of having Allan conduct our home inspection for our first home. He carefully and patiently walked through every nook and cranny guiding and teaching us about the positives, negatives, future potential problems and priority repairs that should be taken care of before closing the house deal. His knowledge and work ethic was comforting, the thermal imaging surpassed our expectations. Later on that evening Allan sent us our 53 page report. The report thoroughly went over everything imaginable. Every issue / defect was accompanied by a picture which he took earlier that day. With his review, we as buyers were able to make an informed dececision about our new home.

Alan did an excellent job - we were very impressed with his knowledge, his demeanor and the overall experience. Knowing what we were getting into when buying our first home was very important, and Alan has made this whole experience much less stressful for both my husband and I. Not only did we get a complete education on our home, its construction and systems, we now know how much we need to budget for work going forward. Thanks Alan!

Alan was very efficient and helpful. This was my first time getting a home inspection and I appreciated the way he included me in the process by inviting questions and answering them. He seemed quite knowledgeable about his area of expertise. I would use this company again and I definitely recommend them!
