Calgary Home Inspections was recommended highly to us by someone who knows the housing market extremely well, but we were curious to read customer reviews before giving them a call. We were deeply impressed by the way people have been unanimous in their praise, so we went ahead and contacted Cliff to make an appointment for him to go through the house we wanted to buy.
We got there early, and Cliff was already on the job, noting various observations concerning the exterior of the building. He told us of several things he had spotted - mainly minor, and one that needs some more immediate attention. He told us all this even before the start time of his work!
Cliff methodically went through the entire house, checking every single little thing and commenting all the way, whether favourably or at times to point out things to keep an eye on.
We had tons of questions, and he answered each one fully. It was not simply how much Cliff knew, but the way he transmitted that knowledge. Everything was explained clearly in plain English - there was no jargon, and he never talked down to us.
We appreciated the way he showed us things of interest via his high-tech equipment, like his thermal imaging sensor, showing us exactly the spots where heat was escaping needlessly, then telling us how to deal with the problem.
We got a summary report very shortly after the 3.5-hour inspection, and the complete report that same day - and believe us, it is a COMPLETE report: very useful and interesting.
We are happy to join the 100+ other happy customers who have provided positive reviews here, and we recommend this firm without the slightest hesitation!
