Buying a house may seem like an endless series of critical, important decisions. When you find the house that is right for you, you need to find a home inspector to educate you about the condition of your new home. This is a commonplace and a wise decision, even when buying a newly constructed home; the additional peace of mind that a professional home inspection offers is invaluable.
Although never ranked as a number one problem, plumbing defects still rank high among the house problems encountered, and include the existance of old or incompatible piping materials, as well as faulty fixtures and waste lines.

We did a concrete sidewalk for a homeowner named Gavin Miles on 111 Martinglen Ave in Kitchener in July of 2019.. He complained about the job layout and some small deficiencies, but it was exactly what he asked for. He didn't pay the bill. At the end of August, he presented us with a home inspection report done by Brad Durant of Home Front Professional Home Inspections. Brad said on the report that the sidewalk had to be torn out and replaced over some small and definitely easily repaired details. Details, like honeycombing on the stair face that we would have parged if we were allowed to finish

Not sure why Google won’t allow a truthful review of this group. Simple money grab to make Home Inspectors appear to have some sort of clout if they belong. It’s been a year since submitting way too much written & videotaped evidence about a dishonest experience with one of their home inspectors and nothing has been done. Every follow up has either resulted in asking for me to start again and resend everything because they don’t seem to have it, or my attempts go unanswered. Upon further research, the OAHI has been set up and is run by Home Inspectors to try and make the public feel “safe”
