Home inspector in Richmond Hill

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

Homes in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill runs from older homes near the historic Yonge Street core, through 1970s and 1980s neighbourhoods, to large 2000s subdivisions in Oak Ridges and newer builds on the north side.

What I often look at here

  • 1960s–1980s homes: aluminum branch wiring in some homes from the late 1960s and 1970s, and in homes retrofitted in the late 1970s, the possibility of urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI). I note what's visible and what's worth further checking.
  • 2000s subdivisions: Kitec plumbing in homes from roughly 1995 to 2007, original roofs and mechanical equipment reaching the end of their life.
  • Basements and drainage: sump pumps, window wells, downspouts and grading.
  • Newer builds: Tarion PDI, 30-day and year-end inspections.

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.
