Home inspector in Kleinburg

Homes in Kleinburg

Kleinburg combines a small historic village core with some of the largest new homes in Vaughan. Inspecting a century home on Islington Avenue and a new 5,000 sq ft build in a recent subdivision are very different jobs.

What I often look at here

• Large new builds under Tarion warranty: multiple furnaces or zones, long duct runs, large roofs with many valleys and intersections, and walk-out basements. The PDI and the 30-day and year-end windows are where most defects get fixed at no cost to you.
• Ravine and sloped lots: grading, retaining walls, decks high off the ground and how water is moved away from the foundation.
• Older village homes: stone or block foundations, older wiring (including knob-and-tube in the oldest houses), past additions and how they connect to the original structure.
• Decks and exterior stairs: I built decks for years. I check the ledger connection, posts, beams, guards and stairs closely.
