Eddie was very professional as well as personable. He explained the details of the report and did a thorough job. We are planning on selling our home and arranged for this inspection just to give us peace of mind that there was no issues with our house that would hinder the sale. Highly recommend Eddie and Canadian Residential. - Shayne & Angela

I am writing to thank Mike Moore our property inspector for the thorough and informative inspection report! Mike walked us through the process and when the final report was completed in a timely manner he went through it item by item and explained the items! I would recommend that all folks purchasing a property have an inspection and I would highly recommend Mike Moore!

Steve came through for us in a pinch, responding quickly to help make our deal happen. He was professional, thorough and walked me through a top quality report. Pricing was more than fair and came with a 90 day Home Warranty. Highly recommended and will use him again as we expand our portfolio.

Inspector's report was thorough, leaving no stone unturned. We appreciated the honesty he gave with regards to the various elements of the house that the inspection revealed; he was pleasant to talk to throughout the process and then made sure we understood every detail of the summary when all was said and done. A real pro who we felt we could trust.

Rob spent time going through the exterior and the interior of the home. He was very professional and communicated exceptionally every time something came to his attention. The report I received was very thorough and understandable. Not only did he highlight concerns he also included suggestions with an unbiased opinion. Will definitely recommend him for anyone buying and will use him again in the future.
