Considerations for picking a Home Inspector:
- Gain insight on the inspector by visiting their Website
- Check if they are bonded and insured
- Review references on Google or Yelp
- Verify that the inspection company only does inspections – not home repairs, appraisals and/or renovations
- Find out what the inspection includes and how long it takes
- Compare the cost of hiring different companies, cheapest isn't the best and neither is the most expensive. Identify their differences!
- Dies the inspector experienced in the type of home you are looking at
- Are they a InterNACHI certified inspector
- Do they inspect the exterior, parkade or other common areas? (if it is a condo)
- Will the inspector look at the boilers and utility room of the building?
- How do they inspect the roof?
- Is there warranty provided with the inspection and what does it cover?
- Will they use a Thermal Cam to identify Heat loss?
