What Is a Calgary Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a thorough, visual examination of a property’s structure and major systems. A qualified inspector evaluates what is readily accessible — from the roof and foundation to the electrical panel and HVAC equipment. The goal is to identify existing defects and safety concerns before you buy, sell, or renovate.
At CHI Home Inspections, every inspection is performed by a Board-Certified Master Inspector (CMI®) — the highest designation in the industry. We bring construction expertise and advanced technology to every property we inspect in Calgary and surrounding areas.
A home inspection does not guarantee a property will be problem-free in the future. What it does is give you clear, objective information so you can make a confident real estate decision. We report the facts. We never advise you whether or not to purchase a property — that decision is yours.
Types of Home Inspections We Offer
Every inspection is customized to your situation and property type.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
The most common inspection. Know exactly what you are buying before you commit. We identify major defects, safety hazards, and costly repairs so you can negotiate with confidence or walk away informed.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Have your home inspected before it goes on the market. Sellers who pre-inspect avoid surprise renegotiations, speed up closing, and signal transparency to buyers and realtors. Increasingly common in Calgary's market.
New Construction Inspection
New homes are not perfect. Builder oversights and rushed timelines happen. A private inspection — or an 11-Month Warranty Inspection — catches defects before your Alberta New Home Warranty expires. Fix it on the builder's budget, not yours.
Pre-Renovation Inspection
Planning a renovation? Know what is behind the walls before you start. We identify load-bearing structures, outdated wiring, plumbing concerns, and hidden moisture issues that could turn your renovation into a money pit.
Spot Inspection
When a full inspection is not needed, we can focus on a specific area of concern — a roof, a foundation crack, a suspicious stain. Priced and scoped to your exact need. Contact us with your property details for a custom quote.
Condo & Townhouse Inspection
Condo inspections require a different eye. We assess the unit's interior systems, accessible common areas, and identify any issues the strata report may not reveal. High-rise condo inspections in Calgary are a CHI specialty.

Calgary Home Inspection — Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions Calgary buyers and sellers ask most.
A pre-purchase inspection is ordered by the buyer to understand the condition of a home before committing to the purchase. A pre-listing inspection is ordered by the seller before putting the home on the market. Both use the same thorough process — the difference is who benefits. Sellers who pre-inspect avoid surprise renegotiations, while buyers who inspect protect themselves from inheriting costly defects.
Content: Yes. CHI Home Inspections performs condo and townhouse inspections throughout Calgary including high-rise units. A condo inspection focuses on the interior unit systems — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, and finishes — as well as any accessible common areas. It does not replace a review of the strata corporation documents, which your lawyer or realtor should handle separately.
Calgary’s climate and housing stock create specific risks that out-of-province inspectors often miss. CHI specifically looks for Poly-B plumbing common in homes built between 1978 and 1995, foundation settlement related to expansive clay soils, hail-damaged roofing, ice damming in attics, and heat loss issues unique to Alberta’s extreme temperature swings. Our local construction background means these are never overlooked.
Yes. If you do not need a full inspection — for example, you are concerned about a specific roof, a foundation crack, or a suspicious stain — CHI offers Spot Inspections scoped and priced to your exact need. Contact us with your property address and area of concern and we will provide a custom quote.
Yes. CHI Home Inspections serves Calgary and all surrounding areas including Okotoks, Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, High River, and Strathmore. Travel fees may apply for properties beyond the Calgary city limits. Contact us with your property address for a quote that includes any applicable travel charge.
