When choosing a home inspection company in Edmonton, various factors can affect the price of the service. These factors include training, experience, service, and the effort and care that go into the report. Considering these factors, you can choose a home inspection company that provides the best value for your money. Higher prices often reflect higher quality.

At Inspection Works, we focus on providing our clients with the best experience possible and making the home inspection process memorable. We go above and beyond to ensure that our clients receive fantastic customer service, superior communication, thorough and accurate inspections and beautifully detailed reports.

We understand that in today’s economic climate, word of mouth is the ultimate factor in the success of a business, and we strive to provide a service that will be glowingly reviewed and recommended by our clients. We value our clients and are committed to providing the highest quality service at a competitive price.

Professional Credentials

Choose a home inspection company that is adequately trained and licensed to ensure you receive a thorough and accurate home inspection. In Alberta, home inspectors must be licensed and have the proper insurance to practice. This is basic, and par for the course and is intended to protect both the client and the home inspection company.

Beyond essential licensing, look for home inspectors certified by a professional organization, such as the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) or the Alberta Association of Certified Home Inspectors (AlbertaACHI). These organizations have established standards for training and professionalism and certify only those individuals who meet their requirements. By choosing a home inspector certified by one of these organizations, you can be confident that they have received the necessary training and have demonstrated a high level of professionalism.

At Inspection Works, our inspectors have a Certified Professional Inspectors (CPI) designation through InterNACHI and a Certified Canadian Home Inspector (CCHI) designation through AlbertaACHI. They have received extensive training and have met the high standards set by these professional organizations. As a result, you can have confidence in their ability to provide a thorough and accurate assessment.

Experience

Experience is an essential factor to consider when choosing a home inspection company. A company with a background in building trades and a track record of experience in the field is likely to understand better potential problems that may be present in a home and how to identify them. This is because they have likely encountered a wide range of issues and have developed the knowledge and skills to recognize problems. In addition, a home inspection company with more experience will have a network of professionals they can consult with or refer clients to provide the most thorough and accurate assessment.

Our inspectors have a wide range of deep knowledge and experience, from building and renovations to electrical systems and even landscape gardening. We are well-equipped to identify and understand a variety of potential problems that may be present in a home. Additionally, the fact that there are two inspectors at each inspection means that clients have access to the knowledge and experience of both individuals, which can provide a more comprehensive assessment of the home.

About Inspection Works

Comprehensive Inspection

A good home inspection company will thoroughly examine all major systems and components of the home to identify any potential issues or problems. This includes thoroughly inspecting the home’s structure, including the foundation, framing, and exterior walls. The roof will also be inspected for any signs of damage or wear and potential issues with the flashing, gutters, and downspouts. The electrical system will be checked for potential safety hazards, such as outdated wiring or unsafe installations. The plumbing system will be examined for leaks or other issues, and the heating and cooling systems will be checked for proper operation and maintenance.

In addition to these central systems, the home inspection company will examine other home components, such as windows, doors, and appliances. A good home inspection company can comprehensively assess the home’s overall condition by thoroughly inspecting all of these systems and components.

What we inspect

Detailed Report

A good home inspection company will provide a detailed report of their findings following their home inspection. This report should include a thorough description of any issues identified during the inspection and recommendations for addressing those issues. The information should be organized and understandable, with clear explanations of the findings and recommendations. It should also include photographs or other visual aids to help illustrate the identified issues.

The report’s purpose is to provide the client with a comprehensive understanding of the condition of the home and any potential issues that may need to be addressed. It should include not only major issues that may need immediate attention but also minor issues that may need to be addressed in the future. A detailed report is critical when making informed decisions about purchasing a home. It can help the client understand the full extent of any repairs or maintenance that may be needed and can also be used as a negotiation tool when discussing the home’s sale price.

Overall, a good home inspection company will provide a detailed report of their findings, including any issues they identify and recommendations for addressing them, to help the client make informed decisions about the home.
