We perform over 3,000 inspections every year, and regularly get feedback from our clients. The comments below are what our clients have had to say over the years …
→ “Inspector was on time, professional, thorough and explained/showed me everything. He made it easy for me to ask questions.
The home inspection report binder is a fantastic reference tool. Very well laid out, easy to understand, informative, well designed and illustrated.
The office staff was friendly, helpful and professional. All the details of the agreement were clearly explained and the online agreement made everything simple & easy.”
R. McNeice, January, 2010
→ “Your company saved us tens of thousands of dollars after a house inspection. Not only did he notice the mold in the attic but he noticed ... defects on exterior water taps, aging beams, and dried water residue in the crawl space. He was thorough, honest and very informative about certain aspects of home ownership we would never have known or thought of. We highly recommend James Dobney & Associates for your home inspections.
We watched a special on CBC Marketplace last week regarding home inspectors and realized just how good your inspection was. Thank you so much for saving us from a bad investment.”
K. Stumph, January, 2010
→ “I had a home inspection done a week or so ago by one of your guys, Fraser Manson. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how pleased I was with him. I have a bit of a problem being around strangers sometimes but Fraser was quite friendly and easy to talk with. He did a great job showing me what he was doing and also answering any questions my nephew or I had.
As well your receptionists were very helpful and pleasant.
I am very pleased with your company and I will definitely be recommending you whenever I can.”
