Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“We were extremely pleased with the quality and thoroughness of a recent home inspection conducted by Eric. Eric took the time to go through our new home from top to bottom, explaining everything he observed in intricate detail. Eric explained his observations very clearly, including why he was noting them, the impact and severity, possible options to remedy issues and added his recommendations. This was repeated throughout the entire inspection process that he spent over 3 hours to carry out, and resulted in an amazingly detailed report that is over 40 pages with pictures and schematics detailing exactly what was observed and recommended solutions. The report also included a quick checklist that is helpful for insurance purposes. I would recommend Parent Inspections Inc. to any potential buyer. We had the pleasure of working with Eric's father Marc when we worked with this company over 16 years ago, and clearly Eric has continued the tradition of providing home inspections of the highest quality. An excellent family run business. Can't say enough about how happy we were with this service.”
“Eric conducted a home inspection for me, and he is, without a doubt, the one you want to perform your home inspection. During the inspection, he demonstrated a breadth and depth to his knowledge that he can put into practical, understandable terms. He's open and easy to speak with; you'll be left confident that a true professional conducted your inspection. This professionalism reflects in the report Eric generates - it's top-notch. It provides excellent insight into all items covered in his inspection; I understand each item's state, what's impacting its integrity, and what that means for me. As a prospective home buyer, I felt confident about the state of the home - I knew what I was getting into bed with, so to speak. Eric will be the one and only name I recommend for the services he offers, and I will be booking him when the time comes again!”
Detailed reviews
On February 8/24 we had a home inspection done that was very poorly performed. I could not attend because I lived in Kingston and my wife had the car for work. ( 1 ) We were told by Eric he tried a electrical plug in every room and all was well. All was not well because the bathroom doesn't even have a plug. ( 2 ) The temperature of the hot water coming out of the taps is 150 degrees f . This could have scalded a person. ( 3 ) The furnace filter was completely plugged. The cavity the furnace is in was completely covethered with lint and dust. I had to take the byfold door off to get the filter out. Then I moved the door back to get the filter out and chahge it. ( 4 ) We were told that under the mobile home couldn't be checked because of the snow. We'll the entrance for under the home is in the 3 sided carport where was no snow. ( 5 ) There was no working smoke detectors. The 1st night we stayed the smoke detector was saying fire evacuate ( 6 ) the second smoke detector had no battery. ( 7 ) There were no GFI PLUGS inside or outside. ( 8 ) The bathroom sink was plugged. ( 9 ) The kitchen sink tap was leaking on the back. You could see there was extra caulking put there to stop the water from running under the counter top. ( 10 ) The dryer vent was plugged. (11 ) Some of the windows wouldn't close after opening because because one of the arms kept coming off the pin. ( 12 ) I should get our $600.00 back if not more. Y

About
Among the oldest and most reputable home inspection companies in Ottawa and Gatineau, with over 60 years of combined experience as full-time home inspectors. Fully insured, accredited, engineering backgrounds, our knowledge and experience is unmatched. Our reports far exceed standard home inspection reports. We delve deep into the issues, we explain the issue to you, what happened, how it happened, why it happened, and how it should be corrected. We discuss the science and engineering behind the issues, we don't simply identify a potential issue and recommend further investigation. Our reports are fully narrative. Complete paragraphs specially written for your unique home, and include a wealth of photos and illustrations to help our clients understand the topic. We also provide more than your typical home inspection. We perform geotechnical research on the property, research local sewer data, and even provide a helpful reference sheet for your insurance paperwork which even includes the closest fire hydrant location and the address and driving distance of the nearest fire station. Our quality assurance measures, such as our unique photographic analysis and video review processes, guarantees you receive the most thorough and accurate inspection possible. Hundreds of high resolution photographs are taken with high-res telephoto lenses, allowing us to scrutinize each photo in detail on a 50" HD display. The entire inspection is recorded on our bodycam, allowing us to review the entire inspection process during our post-inspection research and quality assurance phases. Our inspection methodology also gives you added value. While most inspectors prefer to be left alone to do their job and will then sit down with you afterwards. We bring you along through the inspection and explain every system to you as we inspect them. We will teach you how each system works, the building science principles behind them, and how to operate and maintain them. You will receive a comprehensive crash course on your new home as part of your home inspection.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemizes access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
