We take pride in the high level of customer service we offer before, during and after each of our inspections. Right from the time of booking, we make sure that customers fully understand the services that they are purchasing, including the limitations, so that expectations are properly set. 

We encourage you to allow time to attend at least the final portion of the inspection. This allows us to walk through the home and point out areas of interest which will be documented in the report.  We give customers our full attention on-site and the report our full attention back at the office, so you can be assured that both your site time and subsequent report will be of the highest quality. 

Our Inspection Services:

• Homebuyer’s pre-closing inspections
  Sometimes referred to as a "general home inspection," these are booked prior to closing on either brand new or existing housing. The inspection covers hundreds of components in the home and includes a written report clearly outlining safety concerns and the current condition of the home. The report gives buyers the information they need to make the best decision and prepare for future maintenance.
• Homeseller’s prelisting inspections
  A general home inspection completed prior to listing or selling the home can give current owners an idea of maintenance items to address. A prelisting inspection also helps inspire confidence in prospective buyers regarding the condition of the home and reduce time spent in contract negotiation because an unbiased, independent inspector has reviewed the major systems.
• Energy assessments
  As a Certified Energy Advisor (CEA) through Natural Resources Canada, in affiliation with Home NRG Savers Inc., John can help you evaluate your home’s energy use. You will receive specific recommendations that can be immediate savings on your energy bills. Plus, you may qualify for up to $5,000 in rebates from the Province of Ontario for the energy improvements you choose to make.
• Commercial building condition assessments
  Many times, commercial buyers will purchase property unseen. A Property Condition Assessment helps determine the current condition and potential maintenance or safety issues. Our typical commercial building assessments are in general accordance with ASTM E 2018 standards. Following the site walk-through we will provide a written report, complete with photos, documenting all major building systems, components and conditions.
• Infrared thermal imaging and building diagnostics
  Infrared technology allows us to identify conditions that are often invisible to the human eye.  These include water intrusion, missing insulation, and air leakage. An air leakage test using a blower door to depressurize the home, in conjunction with a thermal scan can quickly identify areas of cost effective savings on your heating bills.  
• New home builder’s warranty inspections
  Most brand-new home builders provide homeowners with a 12-month Builder’s Warranty. Ordering an inspection before the warranty expires gives the homeowner a professionally-prepared report to go over with the builder addressing possible issues. If repairs are not needed, it provides peace of mind regarding the quality of the new home.
• Employee relocation home inspections
  Time is generally of the essence when a family is relocated for business purposes. Prior to beginning negotiations for purchase of a home, relocation companies generally order a home inspection to determine the need for repair and maintenance.
• Field services – property assessments
  Mortgage lenders, insurance companies and investors sometimes require a wide range of inspection services at different locations across the country. This can mean occupancy determination, gathering evidence of legitimate business practices and other services. GPI is favoured among many of these companies because of our courtesy and professionalism.
