Testimonials

Doug Kendall has completed a number of inspections throughout the last few years and I cannot recommend him more highly. His inspections were professional, thorough and complete. They were not the type of inspection to just “make the deal happen” but rather a thorough inspection to allow my clients to make totally informed decisions. His work and experience provided my clients with excellent information and guidance for their purchase experience. He was always prompt and courteous and I would have absolutely no reservation recommending him to any of my family, friends, colleagues or clients. His guidance should be taken into consideration for any purchase that he is involved in. We find it truly unfortunate that Doug chose to relocate and it has left us scrambling to find another inspector with the same dedication and professionalism that Doug demonstrated but we do wish him successes in Ottawa!

"Hello Doug,
I have just finished reading your report and going through the CD. You have done an excellent job of providing me with information. I am so pleased with the integrity of your work and your presentation."

-- Lise F., buyer

"As a first time home buyer you made this experience seem so easy, going in so clueless and terrified! I felt I could ask any question without feeling like they were 'stupid'!! I really felt like you were there for us. Thank you!

P.S. Amazing cookies!"

-- Amanda C. and Blair M., buyers 

"Your services were wonderful and greatly appreciated. We will highly recommend you."

-- Steve G. and Rachel W., buyers  

"Thank you so much for all your help. It's nice to know that there are still some nice guys out there who really care about doing a great job. You will always be on my list for Home Inspectors. Hope to do more business with you in the near future."

-- Vanessa H., agent

"Thank you very much for all that you have done. We are recommending you to all of our friends."

-- Tara and Tim L., buyers 

"I would like to officially thank you for being completely honest with us when you did our first inspection. We are so happy that we found this house, and have made so many memories here that wouldn't have happened quite the same if we would have not got the house on Gifford Drive!

I'm sure the first couple years of our marriage would have been a lot more stressful knowing that we have some major renovations to do."

-- Raeh S. and Alex W. , buyers

 "I've worked with a home inspector who has a very high level of integrity and is out to protect buyers and home owners and to educate them. I've learned a great deal from him. Without Doug we would now have been bankrupt. He was instrumental in our getting Tarion New Home Warranty to warrant many of the breakdowns in our home."

-- S.D., homeowner

"Thanks for the report. It is very thorough and the pictures really help with the information."

-- Kathy W., buyer

"We were very happy with your level of thoroughness, your knowledge and the way you communicated with us."

-- Ralph S., buyer


Thank you Doug. I now have a much higher confidence level in my soon to be new home. Great work, I will happily recommend you in the future.

Kim J., buyer

 Doug,

A quick note of thanks for coming out on such short notice and for providing very thorough and professional service. Barb was happy with the quality of the inspection and now knows what needs to be done - we firmed up the purchase last night.

Nathan C., agent

thanks ever so much. Again, I'm impressed with your commitment and detail to your job, too bad all house inspectors did not have your out look.

Debbie R., homeowner

Hi Doug - thanks so much for the cottage inspection 2 weekends ago - Sam and I found your wealth of knowledge to be incredibly valuable... you obviously take great pride in your work Doug, and we were very lucky to have you. We walked away from that appointment with so much new knowledge...

Robb T., buyer

I just spent the last couple of hours going over the inspection report in detail. I have to say I am really impressed with the detail and quality of the report. As we went through the home, it was difficult for me to determine how serious some of the findings were, but our discussion afterwards and the detail in the report has been of great benefit to Janet and I. Not only does it give us a piece of mind in terms of the state of the home prior to finalizing the purchase, it will be of great value as we prioritize those things which we will repair and address in the home. It also reinforced a number of things we had determined that we would need to do. Once again, we really appreciate your time and efforts.

Gary & Janet C., buyers

Hi Doug,   It was great meeting with you.  I have bought and sold 4 homes him my life and never experienced such a thorough inspection. Thank you for the report and the vendors you have provided.

Tom S.
