    Home Inspection

    AllMax was recommended by our agent, and Alan was able to accommodate our tight timelines. He was very friendly and inviting making us feel at ease during this potentially stressful time. Alan took his time to discuss all components of the building to ensure we understand how they function, and what we can do to improve our overall living space. We had the report immediately to review and keep for our records. Thanks for your help Alan, and we'd highly recommend your service.

    2 Home Inspections

    The first time we called on AllMax to inspect a house we were planning to buy, we were very impressed. Alan was able to quickly identify every issue and/or potential issue. He always gave a detailed explanation as to how the issue developed and how to go about fixing it. The first house we were looking at turned out to be in pretty bad shape; something we did not expect from a fairly new house. As a result of this inspection, we decided against buying this house and realized it was a good choice. Alan saved us from a number of potential nightmares. We called him again a week ago to inspect another house. Again we were very satisfied with his assessment and felt confident that this house was the right choice. I would definitely recommend Alan to my friends and colleagues. He is experienced, personable and knows what he is talking about. Great service and funny guy. Call now if you don't want a boring inspector.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Janice. No matter what you do professionally one needs to enjoy it or it becomes boring for yourself and your clients. I always include levity and try to have fun during my inspections which helps make for a better overall experience for everyone involved. Even when your realtor was upset and grumpy at first I had him smiling and laughing boastfully by the end. You certainly made the right choice the second time around and I think everyone in the family felt it too. Congrats and good luck with the new place. Regards, Alan AllMax Inspections

    Home Inspection

    I had Alan of AllMax complete my inspection and what a fantastic job he did. I found a property that suited my family’s needs and was very pleased with what I saw from my initial visits. I met Alan on site and mentioned what my goals were, where my budgets were and given that it was an much older property that I want him to go through the house with a fine tooth comb. He did exactly what I asked for and then some, from crawling under very low decks to climbing a tall peaked roof top he left no stone unturned. There was a pre-listing report from a huge, well known inspection firm already done, but it seemed too perfect. After following Alan around step by step we discovered so many huge defects, from fire and water damages, structural leaning to extensive electrical problems, that had I purchased the home based on the initial report, it would have totally bankrupted my family. I owe a HUGE thanks to Alan for saving my life on this one. Not only did he impress with the inspection, but he trained me along the way so I am better prepared when starting my search the next time. Thanks Again! Will tell all my friends and family about Alan and his team at AllMax.

    Seasonal Maintenance

    I have owned my home for years and was trying to decide what renovations to tackle first. I called Allmax because of the excellent reviews I read. Alan was friendly, knowledgeable and through with his inspection. I was given great advice on how to move forward and I feel so much more knowledgeable and confident about what renovations to tackle first.

    Home Inspection

    Having worked as an entrepreneur for years before switching careers, I can confidently say that it's relatively easy to spot talent when you see it. AllMax is just such an example. With a relatively tight timeline and cramped schedule, Alan made the time for me and walked me through the process as if it were his first time going through it himself. (I can totally appreciate how much patience this requires; I'm a music teacher by day) To say his inspection was thorough would be an understatement. As promised, and within 48 hours, I received a mammoth 48-page home inspection complete with photos, additional info, and follow-up suggestions; it was incredible. I could go on and on, but suffice to say if you're in the market for a home, or just want your home inspected as is, AllMax is the company for you. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends or family. Great work - Jason

    Pre-purchase Home Inspection

    We were referred to Allan by our realtor. Allan was very professional. He looked at all areas of the home inside and out including the attic spaces. He was very thorough throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain any recommendations he made which made us more comfortable. We are first time home buyers so he was exceptionally helpful in explaining things we would have to know to operate our first home. Allan was punctual and sent us a report the next day which was highly detailed and included recommendations along the way. It even laid out which recommendations were the highest price tag and also which were the highest priority. The report will assist us in our future renovation budgeting. We will definitely be referring Allan to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.

    Home Inspection

    Alan came highly recommended by friends that had used him in the past and we were not disappointed! Alan practically saved our lives! During the home inspection on an older home Alan found a few issues with the home that had been well hidden and were going to be very costly to repair. We were very thankful Alan is so knowledgeable and willing to go the extra step during his inspections, he was able to save us from a lot of trouble down the road. We'll definitely be using him again!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Michaela. From the get go there were strange things happening with that property. Every step I took was further and more serious of issues. I guess you would say the inspection was money well spent and much better served than the pre-listing report from another huge firm, which practically ignored fire and structural damages, as well as Termites and significant electrical problems. Looking forward to helping you on the next one when you are ready. Best of luck in your search. Alan AllMax Home and Property

    Inspection

    I was referred to Michael of AllMax by my realtor and he did not disappoint. Michael is extremely knowledgeable. After my home inspection with him, it's clear why Michael came highly recommended. He was friendly, down to earth and made me feel comfortable. I will tell anyone buying a home to contact Michael for their inspection.

    Answer from pro:

    Michael certainly knows his stuff being in the business for 35+ years. He makes a strong effort to make sure everything is uncovered and is always working in your best interests. Some times clients have told me he helped so much that on the inspection it was like having their dad around. That's how honest he is and how much he cares. Thanks Angie. Regards, Alan AllMax Home & Property Inspections

    Home Inspection

    I chose AllMax because of their positive reviews on HomeStars and just as everyone else has said, Alan made our home inspection a flawless, positive experience. He was able to accommodate a tight turnaround, arrived on time, was thorough, knowledgeable, educational and patient (when I asked the same questions a few times). Alan saw and tested things that I would never have thought of and explained the pros and cons of fixing or not fixing the issues he found. He knows his stuff - plain and simple. While Alan offers a thorough home inspection, he also provides peace of mind and vital information that purchasers need to make an informed decision about how and 'if' to move forward. I highly recommend AllMax.

    Home Inspection

    Allan is really knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly. We helped put us to ease by giving us a tour of all the features of our new home, explaining maintenance issues, and helping us prioritize regarding repairs. We are buying our first home which also happens to be over 50 years old. We now feel that we have a much better idea about what we are getting into. Allan produced his final report within the same day. It was also very thorough and included pictures of maintenance issues as well as diagrams describing the key features of the home. It looks like an owners manual for our house.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Diana. An owners manual is a great way to put it. It is a wonderful resource tool for you especially being a first time home buyer of a much older home. I am glad you enjoyed the experience and wish you guys the best. Regards, Alan AllMax
