Quality First Home Inspections | Calgary, Alberta | (587) 226 3780

​A home inspection is a visual examination of the readily accessible features of the property and reflects the condition of the home on the day of the inspection.

Our goal is always to inform and educate you about the important decision you are about to make, with clients invited and welcome to attend any house inspection, allowing you to ask as many questions as you like! An onsite inspection is typically two to three hours in length, which includes a detailed examination of the home and property – right down to the landscaping of the yard. If there is a crawlspace, Shawn does his best to get in to have a good look at what is happening beneath the home. He also has much experience in rural properties, century homes, as well as condos and townhouses. Please see below for more detail regarding the components that will be inspected.

Your fully documented electronic report – complete with embedded photos – is available within 24-76 hours of the home inspection (often much sooner). All identified defects (along with the implications) will be recorded in the home inspection report, which also contains much information for future reference, with technical articles and additional info regarding maintenance or repairs. Questions that arise from your report can be answered during a follow-up phone call.

Our motto is, "Be aware before you buy!" Home buyers today are definitely aware of the value of having a home inspection, but as a seller, it’s also to your benefit to identify the defects that could potentially delay the sale of your home. We want you to know exactly what adjustments and/or repairs should be made before you place your home on the market, making it more attractive to buyers and possibly increasing the value of your property. It’s a win for everyone involved!

If the home you are selling has a wood-burning fireplace, stove, or furnace, it may be to your advantage to have a certified inspection to ensure that the unit is compliant. Often when a house changes hands, the buyer’s insurance company will insist upon a  inspection. As a Certified Inspector, Shawn will examine the stove or fireplace and create a detailed report for you to present to the buyer, as verification of current compliancy.

As a Registered Home Inspector (RHI) with Canada's Commercial and Home Inspector Association (CanNACHI Canada) and Home Inspector Certification | Home Inspector Association (Internachi Canada), Shawn adheres to the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics set out by these two government-sanctioned organizations that provide oversight of their members in the home inspection industry.

Every client will be provided with a home inspection report in electronic format, listing all identified defects in the various major components of the home and property. This includes:
