Whether buying, selling, or maintaining your home, Quality Pro Home Inspections offers professional, reliable service from your first call. As a certified home inspector, I’ll walk through the home with you, sharing as much detail as you want to learn. My inspections follow the Home Inspectors Association of British Columbia’s Scope of Inspection for a thorough evaluation.
After the walk-through, I’ll review the home’s overall condition with you, highlighting urgent concerns and items to monitor for future maintenance. All findings will be clearly detailed in my easy-to-read Spectora report, delivered in HTML and/or PDF format with images for reference.
