Chris was fantastic. He was thorough, friendly, and took the time to explain all areas being inspected in depth. His final report was detailed with photos for ease of recollection, including a summary up front for quick reference. He answered all questions and remained available for any additional follow-up. If you’re looking for a home inspector you can trust, Chris is the one to hire. Thanks again Chris.

What a fantastic inspector! Due to various circumstances completely out of anyone's control, we ended up having three different inspections done by Chris on three different properties within a few months. Each time he was thorough, exacting and incredibly helpful. Not only did he go through all the elements we needed inspected with impressive care and attention to detail but he also took the time to point out noteworthy elements of each property (for example: hand-carved decorative features or particularly well-kept wooden floors). He made what can be a stressful experience painless, a joy even. Hopefully we have found our forever home but, if not, we will certainly be calling on his expertise again!

Our inspector Chris was incredible. He went above and beyond. His attention to detail, diligence and true passion for home care was wonderful. Chris really put us at ease. His depth of knowledge and the time he took through each step of the inspection filled us with confidence. Chris offered his knowledge and advice for the maintenance of our new home. I would recommend him to anyone I know buying a home.The company itself seems to be so passionate and takes inspections to a next level with thermal camera.Our realtors were impressed - so I know Chris and his process really was a standout !

I’ll echo other comments already on here - Chris is a great home inspector. My wife and I have both dealt with home inspectors before with mixed results, so we were expecting more of the same. However, Chris exceeded both of our expectations and took the time to explain key findings in the house. His report was clear and comprehensive and included useful maintenance tips. Highly recommend him for your next home inspection - thanks Chris!

Chris is an extraordinary inspector and the first person I refer my buyer clients to. He is incredibly informed and brings his first-hand experience in construction to his inspection work. He is patient and takes the time to explain a home's systems and structures to my clients, making their home inspection a powerful introduction to home ownership. Level-headed, trustworthy, kind and always ready to help...that's Chris!

My partner and I were recommended Chris to inspect our new build detached house in Ontario from our real estate agent. Chris was readily available on short notice which was much appreciated. Chris inspected our house in a very thorough and comprehensive manner while educating us along the way. Chris was both professional, personable and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend his services.

Chris was very thorough in inspecting my home and he is also very knowledgeable. He had no issue explaining things to me along the way. Chris is such a great guy he has made himself available to chat even after the inspection, so I can't recommend him enough.

Chris came out to inspect a property with less than 24 hours notice. Chris was amazing and extremely thorough. I would recommend A Buyers Choice any day of the week.

While I have never had a home inspected by Chris, I have known him for approximately three years as a respected member of the stand up paddle board community in Calgary prior to moving to Ottawa.I can say that Chris is dedicated, conscientious, honest and tenacious in his paddle board pursuits. I can say that those traits would certainly transfer into his work as a home inspector with A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections.I have trained and received coaching from Chris as a paddle board athlete. He is punctual and professional and does not cut corners.I would trust Chris to inspect my pending home purchase as I know his report would be thorough and provide me with the very best information of which to base my home buying decision.
