Whether buying or selling a home or having an 11th-month warranty Inspection, we are here to provide you with the best home inspection service Saskatoon, Saskatchewan offers and help you identify any potential problems with your property. The typical inspection takes two to three hours. We will inspect your home from top to bottom using state-of-the-art investigative tools. We will provide you with a comprehensive report within 24 hours of the inspection. We also offer accelerated services to provide the report within hours of the inspection.

 

Are you buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This usually includes a written report, a checklist, photographs, environmental reports, and what the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this, combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself, makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?

 

Relax. The majority of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies for various systems and components, and minor imperfections. These are useful and will help you maintain your home in the long run. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:

 

1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2. Things that lead to major defects, such as a small roof-flashing leak.
3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home.
4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electrical panel.

 

Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often, a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).

Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective. Do not kill your deal over things that do not matter. It is inappropriate to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure, or nit-picky items.

 

Buying a home is probably the most expensive purchase you will ever make. This is no time to shop for a cheap inspection. The cost of a home inspection is very minimal relative to the value of the home being inspected. The additional cost of hiring an InterNACHI-Certified Master Inspector is almost insignificant by comparison. You have recently been crunching the numbers — negotiating offers, adding up closing costs, shopping for mortgages — and trying to get the best deals. Don’t stop now. InterNACHI-Certified Master Inspectors perform the best inspections by far. InterNACHI Certified Master Inspectors earn their fees many times over. As the most Qualified Inspectors, they do more, they deserve more, and — yes — they generally charge a little more. Do yourself a favour and pay a bit more for the quality inspection you deserve.
