Testimonials
My partner and I are in the market for a house in Nelson. Based on a glowing recommendation from a couple of friends of ours, we hired Greg to do our house inspection. Greg’s review was thorough, honest and professional. He crawled the length of the attic and got up onto the roof (which was covered with snow). He also opened several access panels during the inspection and generally gave us the impression that nothing was going to be missed. During his walkthrough with us, he highlighted all the potential issues, large and small, and answered any questions we had. Greg takes his time and clearly enjoys his work.

Greg did a very thorough and professional inspection of a heritage home in Nelson — which I’m about to own! He documented every detail and we did an extended walk-through of the property. In particular, I appreciated Greg’s availability for follow up questions after the inspection. I recommend him without hesitation.

My partner and I are re-locating to Nelson from Ontario and recently purchased our first home. His inspection was thorough and very detail oriented. He spent two hours walking through ever detail of the property with me, making sure that I understood exactly what the issues were.
Greg patiently answered all of our questions throughout the whole process. Being first time home buyers form afar – we had many!
Greg clearly enjoys his work and is passionate about what he does. We whole-heartedly recommend Greg’s services and will definitely use him again should the need arise.

Greg was very thorough, detailed and professional. He was meticulous not only in his actual inspection but in walking... us through the inspection findings and pointing out the issues. He also provided the detailed write up and photos to back up the findings. He identified numerous items that were not found in the seller's disclosure statement. These findings identified tens of thousands of dollars in required repairs. We thank him for his excellent work helping us in our decisions. We would use him again and fully recommend him without hesitation. You won't find a better home inspector.read more

I can't say enough good things about Assured Home Inspections. Greg's services are exceptional and I am extremely... impressed by his thoroughness.After the inspection was completed, he took his time walking us through the home and inspection report to review his findings and provide recommendations. As first time home buyers, this was important to us so we knew what we were getting into. We really appreciated his insights and ability to explain things in ways that we can understand. He was also very responsive by phone so we didn't have any communication issues.I highly recommend Assured Home Inspections.read more

Greg did an awesome job! He is extremely thorough and efficient as well as being a friendly and personable guy. His... reports and walk- through are fully detailed and explained in layman’s language and he has extensive experience in order to recommend practical solutions to those problems. He came recommended by our previous retired building inspector- and I’m very glad to have hired him! I would most definitely use him again!read more

The inspection Greg did for us saved us money. Our real estate agent was able to use Greg's report to save us... significantly more than we paid for Greg's Assured Home Inspection. We are also very aware of what to do to fix the situation. Finally, he also provided us with peace of mind that the rest of the house was in very good condition - as we had felt from our own observations. Thank you Greg for providing your services in this area.read more

We actually purchased a house quite a while back and this review is very long overdue. Greg completed the inspection... with our daughter . He was very thorough in his findings, patiently explaining the report and pictures in detail. In my opinion, a lot of sellers /realtors are afraid of his findings thus some negative comments from them.I truly feel Greg is the best in the business.We bought the house and totally understood all the necessary work needed in an order of priority. In the future, as a seller I have no qualms with recommending a purchaser use his services.At the end of the day if the best inspector has done the job , as a seller I'm also more confident in the sale.read more

Greg conducted an incredibly thorough and detailed inspection. Greg took photos and documented all aspects of his... inspection. He provided the option of a virtual review where he walked us through each photo and aspect of the inspection and answered all of our questions. He made pragmatic recommendations about aspects of the property's condition over over broad time horizon (i.e. what needs to happen now vs. what should be done in the future to preserve the property). Greg is a detailed professional and very knowledgeable.I would definitely recommend Assured Home Inspections.read more

Greg did an extremely thorough inspection for a house we were planning to buy "sight un seen" so we were placing a huge... amount of trust in his work. He did not disappoint and found every issue and defect in the house and gave extremely clear communication to us on everything he found. He admits that he is a little more expensive than other inspectors in town but we more than made up for it when we were able to negotiate down the price of the house.read more

Nothing but good things to say about Greg. He was recommended to us by multiple friends and we were not disappointed.... We had him look at two homes for us. The first one he pointed out critical hidden issues that would have cost us a fortune and the second home he showed us what needed work but was also able to give us a so many great ideas about how to make the space work for us. Greg is incredibly thorough and because of that, we are moving into our new home with confidence.read more

This is a company you can count on, feel confident with and find out standing customer service. Gregg was a pleasure to... speak to and full of knowledge. We found him to be thorough with the inspection and even gave us contact information for the industries where the home needed repairs. One of the things that stood out most for us was Greg's knowledge and the in-depth report he provided us with afterwards. The report was labeled easy to read and followed the pictures that he took while doing a report. Two days after our inspection Greg phoned us to confirm we were happy with the services and answer any further questions we might have had. This is a company that really cares about their clients.read more

Greg provided a very thorough inspection of our pre-purchase home and afterward walked me through everything, from top... to bottom, showing me what was good and bad. A totally unbiased inspection, he is definitely working for you. Greg provides a very in depth written report and hundreds of pictures, so you can relate the written report to the pictures. Best home inspector I have ever hired. I can see why listing agents would not like to see him coming to one of their homes. I will definitely hire Greg again if I need a home inspection.read more

His conduct was unprofessional, invasive, aggressive and hostile towards home owner who was present during the... inspection. He would exaggerate and speculate regarding potential problems, assume conditions without any proof or fact checking and he charged more for the inspection than his quoted fee. He'll spend hours to scrutinize your house and with his negative comments he will discourage and scare away many potential buyers. If you're a home buyer and his client, you might not be bothered with his attitude, as all the 5 star ratings from buyers suggest, but as a home owner you will not appreciate how this inspector treats you and your property. I don't ever want this man inspecting my house and I do not recomend him!read more

We hired Greg to do a home inspection for us, and the inspection was not only incredibly thorough but Greg made the... effort to go over in detail, every item on the inspection report, answering every question we had to our total satisfaction. He was prompt, thorough, and very reasonably priced. Further to that, he has been extremely helpful any time we have called to ask a question about a trade or service person, and even agreed to help us when we needed some pictures taken for something not related to the inspection.A total A player. We would not use anyone else.read more
