Dan gets top marks for certain. He was very knowledgeable, thorough, meticulous and very patient with all of our questions. I've built 2 houses in Quebec, so I had a lot of questions on how things are put together in Ontario along with all the do's and don't surrounding regulations. Dan did not miss a beat, answered all the questions with ease. Really appreciated his time and felt it was money well spent

"This was the most professional and efficient home inspection. Receiving the inspection report while we sat with John was just so great. There are so many steps to buying a home and as we were selling a home at the same time not having to wait for the inspection report was priceless. The inspection report was very thorough and left us feeling very prepared to buy an 80 year old house."

"I want to commend John Daigneault - who acted as my first-time home buyer home inspector. She recently put an offer on her first home, and along with it came the anxieties one feels with making such an investment. In the sometimes stressful process of buying a new home, John's services came as a breath of fresh air for both my client and I. John lead her through the home inspection with much attention to detail and careful scrutiny; it was as if he was the one buying the house. Both myself and my client were especially impressed with his professionalism, sense of humour, pleasant demeanor and excellent work. As the real estate agent I accompanied my client during the inspection and was very impressed with his work. When making a decision such as purchasing your fist home, it was very comforting to have a professional such as John helping my client make the right choice."
