So, why choose Home Inspector M.D.?

Total Focus on you and only you for the entire day

Many inspection companies have their inspectors scheduled for 2 inspections a day. That limits their time on your future home to maybe 2 hours. Then they move on to their next inspection in the afternoon. All the money and you get 2 hours of their time? Is that enough time to answer your questions? Our default is to do only ONE inspection per day. When you schedule a date and time, we will automatically block the rest of the day so we can provide you with 100% focus on your inspection. Have lots of questions? We make sure we answer all your questions before we leave. After the inspection, we will write your report and only yours.

Infrared Thermal Inspections (IR) that are free with every inspection

We offer a free (others may charge hundreds of dollars) infrared thermal inspection for every standard inspection. IR thermal inspections are not standard in the industry, so not every inspector will perform this part of the inspection. Why does this matter? It matters because an IR thermal inspection can see things normal inspections cannot. Although not perfect, it allows us to potentially see issues with moisture, energy efficiency and possible electrical problems that a visual inspection cannot.

Drones

Another common piece of equipment we use as standard, even though it is beyond the standard of practice in the industry, is drones. Of note, certain weather conditions (high winds, heavy snow or rain) may prevent the safe use of drones.
For safety reasons, too high/steep, wet, or snow-covered roofs make it unsafe to walk on roofs. The type of roof material may also prevent inspectors from walking on roofs. Roof types such as clay and metal are not the types inspectors walk on, because of the potential damage it can cause. Drones allow visual inspection of parts of the roof that were previously not visually accessible.

Focus on Knowledge for First-Time Home Buyers

For clients who are just buying their first house or are transitioning from condo/apartment living to house living, it can be a learning curve. As a homeowner, you are now responsible for problems in the house and emergencies. You should know how systems work in your home.

The common theme on this website and in each inspection is more knowledge of the systems and how they work. We encourage the clients to not skip the inspection process and to be there to see and ASK QUESTIONS, about each system in a house. Have a question even after the inspection? Just, use the contact form or email us and we will reply.

Premium Reports

We believe the best report in terms of navigation and presentation is the Horizon report software by Carson Dunlop. It has easy navigation with a single click to any system in the house. See our report page for more information. The information is presented in an easy-to-understand and read format. 
We noticed that many inspection reports in PDF format have low-resolution photos with no comments. Can you zoom in on a photo to see it better? No, all you get are blocky photos. All the photos in our reports are high-resolution photos that are clear and be zoomed in for better clarity. Each photo ⇾ points to the problem in the photo with a comment. All reports are in PDF format, with a complete backup of photos and videos on request.

Free Home Reference Book (Online PDF)

As part of every inspection report is the free Home Reference Book. Think of this book as a home maintenance book to help the new homeowner know more about the house and its systems. This is over 450 pages worth of valuable information that is yours for free.

What is Home Inspector M.D.?

Quality. With our limit of one inspection a day, you get our services for the full day. After the inspection is completed, the rest of the day is spent completing only your report. This includes doing any additional research and providing additional information such as instruction manuals for your new home.

We use the amazing reporting software provided by Carson Dunlop Horizon. It combines easy-to-navigate reports with an easy-to-understand structure and tons of photos to give you the best possible experience.

Affordable. Our fall special pricing allows anyone to afford the home inspection. We know how difficult it is to afford to buy a home these days. We provide you with a break in pricing compared to many other inspectors. At only $299 for a standard 1,100-2,500 square foot house, this is lower than the competition.

The inspector adheres to the Canadian Association of Home & Property Inspectors (CAHPI) guidelines and a strict Code of Ethics policy for our performance standards in the home inspection. You may download the set of guidelines for your reference here: CAHPI National Standard of Practice.
