Question 2

How far in advance should I book?

As early in your conditional period as possible. We keep same-week availability and work seven days a week, but the best time slots during a busy spring market go quickly.

All of Calgary plus Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, Strathmore, High River, and nearby communities. Travel outside those areas may be available — just ask.

Question 4

Question 5

How long does a home inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Most take 2–4 hours depending on size, age, and condition. Condos are usually quicker; larger or older homes take longer.

Question 6

Can I attend the inspection?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we encourage it. Walking through with us is the fastest way to learn your home, and you can ask questions as we go.

Question 7

What don't you inspect?

Accepted Answer

We assess visible, accessible components. We don't move heavy furniture, dismantle systems, enter unsafe areas, or evaluate things behind finished surfaces. Septic, wells, pools, and environmental testing are separate specialties we can refer.

Question 8

Do I need to prepare anything?

Accepted Answer

If you're the homeowner, please ensure access to the attic hatch, electrical panel, furnace room, water heater, and crawl spaces, and keep pets secured.

Question 9

When will I get my report?

Accepted Answer

Within [24] hours of the inspection, as a digital report you can open on your phone or forward to your REALTOR®.

Question 10

What does the report include?

Accepted Answer

Photographs of every significant finding, plain-language descriptions, and priorities so you can tell an urgent safety item from routine maintenance.

Question 11

What happens if the inspection finds problems?

Accepted Answer

Almost every home has findings. We help you understand which matter. From there you can request repairs, renegotiate, or plan the work after possession.

Question 12

Can I call you after I read the report?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Follow-up questions are part of the service. Call or email any time after your inspection and we'll walk you through anything that isn't clear.

Question 13

Do you do repairs or recommend contractors?

Accepted Answer

We don't perform repairs — that keeps our findings unbiased. We can point you toward the right type of trade for each issue.

Question 14

Do I need an inspection on a brand-new home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. City inspections confirm code compliance, not workmanship or finishing. Independent pre-drywall and pre-possession inspections regularly find items worth correcting before you take the keys.

Question 15

When should I book my 11-month warranty inspection?

Accepted Answer

Around month ten or early month eleven from your possession date, leaving time to submit findings before your first-year Alberta warranty coverage ends.

Question 16

What does Alberta's new home warranty actually cover?

Accepted Answer

One year for defects in labour and materials, two years for delivery and distribution systems, five years for the building envelope, and ten years for major structural components.
