Electrospec Home Inspection Service
It's not too late! A Home Review is a good idea, even after closing. After a frenzied search in a competitive market you secured the house you wanted, however you had to make an unconditional offer to get ahead of other bidders - not always the best idea, but it's what we sometimes have to do. Designed for buyers who want a thorough inspection of all the major systems and components of the home.

You can trust our knowledge and experience, to provide the information and confidence you're looking for! Following your home inspection an easy-to-read report will be published and posted on the web, including photos, illustrations and relevant reference material. A link to your report will be sent by email later the same day!

The decision to buy a home is seldom easy. It's major, complex and very personal. Along with the consideration of price and the various appeals of the neighbourhood, style, size and floor plan, the fundamental question arises - is the house itself sound? What kinds of repairs may be in order, and what can reasonably be expected in the way of costs?
The PIT Formula: Some time ago, the PIT (principal, interest & taxes) formula was expanded to include heating costs. And more recently, it has become universally recognized that repair and maintenance also have a significant bearing on the cost of home ownership. Most often the costs are relatively low, with respect to the overall value of the home - but can sometimes become an unexpected or even unmanageable burden.
Home inspections, like the real estate market have changed dramatically in the past 20 years. As technology advances and consumers become more web-savvy, there is a greater need for products and services that can keep pace. We offer a comprehensive web-based reporting system that produces an exceptional report, published and posted on the web exclusively for the buyer or seller.

As a first home purchase, Gil from Electrospec Home Inspection Services took the time to inspect the home correctly, going above and beyond by giving me pointers on what to be careful for, what to put money aside for and other tips to keep in mind. Incredibly professional and very friendly service. Would highly recommend again.

Is a wonderful person who explained each and every thing in regards to the house. Moving from the city, I had so many questions in regards to a country house. He explained every single thing with Detail, no rush, and in such a friendly manner. I appreciate taking all his time.

I don't have much experience with home inspectors, but working with Gill was great. Thought us all about our new home and even went above and beyond his role to answer some of our non-inspection questions. Great guy...and funny too!

This past weekend we had a home inspection done by Gil. His attention to detail was superb, his knowledge, experience and insight was priceless He clearly knows what he is talking about and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. We received a very thorough and detailed report promptly (same day) after he was done and it made us, especially as first time home buyers, feel more confident and empowered to proceed with our deal. We are happy to say we are now homeowners! Excellent value for money as well. Thanks Gil!

I hired Gil for my first home. I don't have any experience with any other home inspectors but Gil seemed professional at what he does. Lots of advice and recommendations were given beyond what was required. He is also very friendly. I recommend him.

Our experience with Mr. Strachan, was a very pleasant one.
His attitude was a very friendly and professional one. He took the time to explain to us all the steps of the house inspection process emphasizing in all the hidden areas that we have to consider.
The inspection report was delivered to us very shortly after inspection, and it was very detailed, well done and easy to be understood.
Definitely his expertise was a key factor in our recent purchase.
I strongly recommend Mr. Strachan, if someone needs a good and honest inspector.
