Essential Home Inspection
This is our traditional home inspection package performed by our expert home inspector. It includes a visual inspection of the home’s readily accessible features, major systems and components such as roof, exterior, structure, electrical, heating, cooling, ventilation, insulation, plumbing, interior, and more. We encourage you to accompany our inspector to get the most out of your home inspection.
Our full colour, easy-to-understand electronic (PDF) report will delivered to you by email within 24 hrs, and it includes:
– a summary page we call “the bottom line”
– photos and illustrations of documented issues
– additional relevant informational documents to provide more detailed information on issues pertaining to the house
Extended Home Inspection

Welcome Real Estate Sellers. Perfection Inspections would like to contribute to the successful sale of your home by providing a detailed Pre-Listing or Pre-Sale Home Inspection
Pre-Listing Inspection Benefits – having your Home Inspection prior to permitting purchasers to view the property has some distinct advantages:
A key benefit is that you will be prepared for the sale – if any problems are discovered that need to be addressed, you can have the repairs or improvements done on your own terms, on your own schedule, saving you money.
Experience has shown that most homes that receive a pre-sale inspection spend less time on the market and sell at prices closer to the listing price.
Our inspection report can provide prospective buyers a better understanding of the home and may minimize price negotiations during the sales process. You will also have an advantage over other properties the buyer is considering that may not have an inspection report available.
Our inspection will arm you with knowledge, information, and an expert inspector available to you for telephone or email consultation. In cases where the purchaser uses an inexperienced inspector and/or attempts to exaggerate issues/repair costs to their benefit, our inspector will keep you in the drivers seat.
Surprise problems uncovered by the buyer’s inspector may cause delays in closing, and you may end up paying for repairs at the last minute, or accept a lower price on your home – be prepared and ready, rather than unprepared and reactionary.
What is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is a professional opinion based on a visual inspection of the readily accessible features of the property. The focus is to determine the present condition of the home’s major systems and components from a performance standpoint rather than cosmetic, or design issues.
