COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS
David went through every photo and detail and explained things thoroughly. He also reiterated the very important things to keep in mind and take care of first. He was honest, knowledgeable, and direct. He provided some solutions to a couple of issues in the house. I was nervous and he made me feel more comfortable. ~ Leanne C
I really appreciated that Dave took the time to explain the relevance of everything he found. He didn't just whip through his feedback - he took the time to explain what could happen long term if certain things are left without improvement. He also took the time to show us how his various meters and sensors work so that we could fully understand the results in his report. As someone who's unfamiliar with home inspection, this was very helpful. He was also very frank, which I think is super important. He would tell us which things are relatively minor and inexpensive to repair and which things will require a larger commitment of time and money. He was incredibly thorough and I feel very confident that he provided us with all of the information he possibly could. Honestly couldn't have expected anything more. Dave was wonderful. ~ Megan H
Would not change anything! We would definitely hire Dave again. Our inspector took time to review our report with us in detail and was happy to answer any questions we had. ~ Brett G
As a 22 year old first time home buyer that knows relatively nothing, I felt as if he tried to explain the issues to a level that I could understand instead of in more of a technical way. Brought me to all the spots so he could show me what it was he was talking about, pointed out the issues. I do like the detailed photos and explanations that are given in the report because it’s easy for me to go back and look at it afterwards. ~ Ashlee P

I really appreciated the straightforwardness of the inspector, he very efficiently covered all the bad and good about the home. The process felt very thorough, ending with a summary as well as a review of all the photos and documentation. The amount of payment options available made payment easy.

We really liked that the report contains pictures with the explanations; its a complete and impressive report. Also easy method of payment. This inspection was done without our presence because we are presently in Ontario and buying in SK. Although our real estate agent and our daughter were present for the inspection, the report was so complete, understandable and easy to follow that it reassured us in the purchase of our home. Buying at a distance is not easy but the inspection report is so thorough that it kind of "put the icing on the cake" for us. - Andre & Francine C

David's willingness to stay as long as it took to answer all my questions after he had already walked me through his report was greatly appreciated. I am very happy with the job done. ~ Murray C
We have bought a number of homes over the past 15 years and have used home inspectors each time. Every time, we vowed we wouldn't bother with another inspector because our experience has always left us disappointed; that we've spent money on information we already knew. David has restored our faith in home inspections with an incredibly thorough review and extremely detailed reporting of our new home. We hired him again to complete this inspection today and have absolutely nothing but great things to say about him. What we appreciated the most was that we felt entirely confident he had OUR best interests in mind. Safety for our family and things for us to consider financially in the long run. He covered every aspect of the home and property from top to bottom, and he presented the good, bad and ugly in a factual no-nonsense report. At such an exciting yet stressful time, it was so reassuring to have him work for us...we got what we paid for after many years with home inspections, and he absolutely delivered. We'd recommend him again to anyone and everyone in the Saskatoon area....and if ever we find ourselves purchasing another home, or getting ours ready to sell, we'd hire him again. No questions asked. Amazing service David!! ~ Thank you very, very much! Shenton and Angie W

I liked the infrared camera. Not only did it give good information, it made me feel like I had the best tools available protecting my investment and increased the feeling that this is not a service I could simply do myself.

Very thorough inspection and Dave walked my realtor and I through everything he found, explaining the importance and potential implications of problems he found. Every home, no matter how old or new, will have things that need to be taken care of. This comes with home ownership. But Dave was excellent at providing a clear picture of the overall condition of the home. It was all very well done, from the inspection to walk-through / consultation to quality of final report. As a single woman purchasing an older character home, knowing ahead of time - with eyes wide open, what I was taking on responsibility for was very important to me. His walk through to discuss the inspection findings was very helpful to put the overall picture into perspective in order to make an informed decision whether to purchase. ~Sandra R
David was very thorough, he explained every detail of the inspection. Very many flaws in the house came with repair suggestions which was great. I was very comfortable with David and his knowledge, thoroughness, professionalism he even laughed at my Yoda joke, lol. Not I doubt in my mind that I got the right guy. Again can't state enough how confident he made me feel that the inspection was thorough, and the tips, above and beyond what I was expecting, thank you so much. ~ Kelly J
The level of knowledge Dave possessed and his level of professionalism provided through his candor and through the report. I have had previous experience with Home Inspectors and it was not a good experience. Dave has truly changed the way I view Home Inspectors. Even the family and friends I have shown the report too are amazed at the level of detail, quality of pictures and some of the things he picked up on that we wouldn't have known were issues for years. Things we hadn't noticed even though we went through the house four times, nothing missed his keen eye. Fantastic attention to details! ~ Norman K
I really like the online capabilities of this report...not having to print / scan / fax it. I also really like how David sat down and explained every detail of the report with my wife and I. We feel that we received top level value for our dollar! Would change nothing...totally satisfied. Thank you! ~ E.J.B.
I would like to thank Dave again for his time and patience when going through the report with us. It was definitely worth it!

As a first time home buyer it was great to have someone that both thoroughly examined the house but was also really good at explaining everything. After showing me some of the things he found he went through the entire report with me. We covered every picture which all helpfully had notes and arrows pointing to what was being noted. He didn't overcomplicate things and made it easy to understand. ~ Adam N

David is a knowledgeable and well informed inspector whose professional service goes over and above the standard service available in Saskatoon. His use of thermal imaging technique helps detect hidden issues. I was impressed with him using a ladder(s) to inspect roof once he suspected some damage to the shingles. He was able to communicate his report in a way that I understood so that I could make an informed decision on my home purchase based on the actual condition of the house. I highly recommend David. ~ Rajeh M

Thank you! ~ Chad P.
We especially liked the pictures that go along with the report that David explained very thoroughly to us. ~ Don L.
David did three separate home inspections for us and was very thorough. We like him because he was very prompt and on top of that found a lot of things that we hadn't necessarily thought about - he taught the things we needed to know. He was very knowledgeable and even told us some ins and outs of each specific problem with each era of house. I would not change David's services at all. He is very thorough in and that is why we keep coming back to him . ~ Travis Z
I liked the infrared camera, it caught all of the things I was worried about. - Everything was professional, and we we satisfied. I had a feeling about an area of the roof, and without mentioning it to him, he found the issue, and documented what I needed to know about the problem. ~ C. Laroque
Dave took the time to explain things to us so we better understand and was very helpful throughout the whole inspection. We had a great experience. David offered lots of useful advice and knowledge. ~ A. Ahrens
