An Elementary Property Inspection is more than just a look into our client's potential home, we also want to ensure that you know your home. With Eric's experience in home renovation and knowledge in construction, an Elementary Property Inspection will give you a needed understanding of the property. Our Home Inspections are intended to educate by giving you a needed understanding of the property and an overview of how the systems in the home function, and how they should be maintained throughout the change of seasons and over the years.

Elementary Property Inspections subscribes to a strict code of ethics set forth by CAHPI and all Home Inspections are performed to the CAHPI standards of practice, ensuring a professional independent opinion on your potential property purchase.

We do not believe that our service should end with the conclusion of the home inspection. We are available to contact after the inspection should questions or concerns arise and encourage our clients to do so.

This is my promise to you.

Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won't meet me until our appointment. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing. Ultimately, a thorough home inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s own effort. If you honour me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I'll give you my very best effort. I'll inspect your home as if it were my own.
