Home inspector in North York

Pre-purchase, pre-listing, new-home and condo inspections in North York, by a carpenter with 17 years in GTA construction.

Homes in North York

North York is full of post-war bungalows and side-splits from the 1950s and 1960s, many of them now being renovated or replaced by large custom homes, plus condo towers along Yonge Street and around Sheppard.

What I often look at here

  • Original 1950s and 1960s systems: galvanized supply pipes, cast-iron drains, older electrical panels and ungrounded outlets.
  • Additions and second storeys: how they tie into the original structure, roof transitions and flashing.
  • New custom homes: big roofs with many valleys, multiple HVAC zones, walk-out basements and Tarion coverage when it applies.
  • Condos on Yonge and Sheppard: unit systems, windows, balcony doors and anything that looks like a building-wide issue.

What I inspect

Buying a home

A full inspection before your conditions expire: structure, roof, exterior, plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, insulation and interior.

Details

New homes & Tarion

PDI help, 30-day and year-end warranty inspections so defects get on the right Tarion form before the deadline.

Details

Selling a home

A pre-listing inspection so there are no surprises when the buyer's inspector shows up.

Details

Condo apartments

The unit, its systems and what the building's documents say about the parts you share.

Details

Roof inspections

Shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, gutters and the attic underneath, with photos of every problem.
