My Girlfriend and I had Alan out to do a home inspection in Oshawa. I was very pleased with Alan right from the start. He was courteous, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
The property was being sold as a "fixer upper", and a few issues were disclosed to us when we first saw the house. The Driveway, decks, fence, and basement all needed some work, and the interior of the house was outdated and in need of some TLC. I am a carpenter by trade, and I have many friends and family members in various trades. The initial plan was to fix this place up. Based on what we saw, although it would have been costly, it seemed possible to make this house work for us.
Within 10 minutes of meeting Alan, I was glad that we called him. He uncovered many issues with the house that were not disclosed to us by the agents as well as some issues that I overlooked during the initial viewing of the home. His off-hand knowledge of the building code was very impressive, as was his ability to catch even the smallest defects that may later become major issues.
All in all, Alan saved us from buying a nightmare of a house, and he gave me a better understanding of what to look for when purchasing a home. The information he gave me has already proven to be very valuable, and it was well worth the small fee he charged for the inspection. I would recommend his service to anyone looking to buy a home.
I will be calling him again in the very near future.
Thanks again Alan! - Liam and Amanda
