In 2021, InspHechtor Jeff was established by Jeff Hecht, a former Canadian football player.

Although some people might doubt his skills because of a big jump in the industry, he’s actually certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI).

He has a strong work ethic, as mentioned by his clients. Possibly due to his previous career, which requires discipline and awareness.

Moreover, Jeff has earned his clients’ trust because of his friendly approach. Apart from that, his attention to detail and thorough reports were greatly appreciated by his clients.

He and his team are trained, licensed, and certified. This information ensures that you’re hiring a professional and qualified company.

We’re glad Jeff and his team use an infrared camera to check for leaks, pests, and other potential issues hidden from sight. Additionally, they use a moisture meter to check for possible areas where mould might grow.

You’ll be glad to know that all inspections include an infrared camera and moisture meter checks. We wanted to mention that mainly because not all home inspection companies in Edmonton have those in the initial service.

Furthermore, they have a 90-day limited structural and mechanical warranty for all services. Besides that, other warranty programs are also available with every inspection, like SewerGard and MoldSafe.

A drawback is we think they can add other equipment, like a drone, to get a bird’s eye view of the roof. This can be helpful for steep or high areas.

On a good note, they have a $50 discount for first responders and those who served in the military. 

If you need a service with a good work ethic and are open on weekends, InspHechtor Jeff may be a good option. Although compared to others on our list, they close earlier the majority of the week.

Fortified Home Inspections Ltd offers complete home inspection services to Edmonton residents. It’s a BBB-accredited business, which means it has met the standards of having a trustworthy company.

Its home inspectors are InterNACHI members, meaning, they have the accredited training to give a proper inspection.

We appreciate the booking process on their website. You can choose your preferred schedule easily, so you won’t have to go back and forth with the staff to select an available date.

However, we noticed there’s limited schedule availability on weekends. You might need to take time off work if you can’t get a Saturday appointment.

The inspectors go on the roof for a closer look at damages, but sometimes it can be difficult for two or three-storey homes. The good thing is they do drone inspections for high areas.

Additionally, this is included with all services. But remember that drones are heavily weather-dependent and can’t operate on windy days as they might get hurled around.

Speaking of weather, it’s sometimes impossible to check every exterior area during rainy or snowy days. We appreciate they offer a free follow-up once you’ve purchased the home.

Finally, the Fortified Home Inspections Ltd clients liked the comprehensive reports, including photos and videos of the issues. We’re glad they have great attention to detail and are thorough, so you’ll get full details of the home.

North 49 Home Inspection has been in the industry since 2010. Aside from Edmonton, it services Calgary and Canmore areas.

It has InterNACHI certification and Certified Master Inspectors (CMI), giving you peace of mind due to having professional, certified, and vetted home inspectors.

We appreciate that the company sends out two or more inspectors for each property. They do this for a more comprehensive inspection and a faster service.

Moreover, they offer a variety of services. They have home maintenance and new home warranty inspections.

Additionally, they also check for radon levels, a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. This is highly recommended for new home buyers because you can’t detect radon through smell or taste.

Unfortunately, we heard of issues with miscommunication. For instance, a few clients needed clarification from their inspectors regarding some concerns about the homes.

On a good note, we appreciate the detailed price list. We believe this can improve pricing transparency, which many clients can appreciate.

Also, we want to mention that the prices may change depending on the age of the home. This is because older homes don’t usually have the same building codes today, and the inspection may take longer than usual.

The clients we talked with liked the responsiveness and professionalism of the inspectors. They arrived on time and happily answered any questions.

Not only that, but the inspectors also gave comprehensive reports. The clients also liked the included photo, which gave them a better visual look at the necessary repairs.

All in all, we like the range of services that North 49 Home Inspection have. We think this is a good choice, especially if you live in the three areas they service.

Since 1994, Alberta Property Inspection has been servicing Greater Edmonton. It has memberships at the Alberta Professional Home Inspectors Society and the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI).

Besides that, it’s a BBB-accredited business. Potential clients may feel a sense of trustworthiness because of the commitment to resolving client complaints.

We appreciate the detailed information included with each service on their website. When Edmontonians are looking for home inspectors, this will give them a general idea of what to expect.

Additionally, they have a sample report readily available for you to check. We think this is extremely helpful, especially for first-time buyers.

We also appreciate that there’s no extra fee for using an infrared camera. But, keep in mind that the inspector will use this only if necessary.

Another thing we appreciate is Alberta Property Inspection is they will email you the report within 24 hours after the inspection. We’re glad they provide prompt service so you can dig through the report immediately.

However, they can include a price guide for added transparency. Home inspections in Edmonton can cost a tonne of money, and adding the fees can be convenient.

On a positive note, each inspection can take a minimum of two hours. We believe this shows a thorough service since the inspectors won’t take too fast checking every area of the house.

Consequently, the comprehensive report included high-quality photos of the needed repairs and other issues. Their clients were happy with the organized information and how fast the crew emailed them.

Past clients were also impressed with the knowledgeable and helpful inspectors. They were given professional advice on some minor issues.

We noticed the online form needs to include an easy scheduling system. Even though Alberta Property Inspection is open daily, you might have to be quick when scheduling them on weekends.

To conclude, Alberta Property Inspection provides prompt service and incredibly detailed reports. If you live in Greater Edmonton, this can be a good home inspection service to look into.

Overview Property Inspection was founded by Pierre Papineau, a certified home inspector, in 2017. H’s also a real estate investor, giving him more knowledge of the ins and outs of the industry.

In addition, he’s a member of InterNACHI and the Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association.

We like the easy booking system on the website. You can quickly check the available times, giving you more flexibility regarding your schedule.

But we noticed there’s limited schedule availability, especially on weekends. We suggest booking your nearest preferred time for a faster process.

We appreciate the easy access to your report by logging in to their website. With that, you and your family can check all the information at any time.

There’s complete equipment for each home inspection, including thermal imaging, a moisture meter, a sewer scope, and a gas leak detector. Remember that not all tools will be used in your home, only those necessary.

Aside from residential properties, they do commercial property inspections too. Some properties they service are restaurants, storage facilities, and schools.

Not many home inspectors also service commercial properties. That’s why we’re impressed with the variety of locations they are knowledgeable about.

As for their inspection reports, their clients mentioned the precise and extremely detailed service. Pierre was attentive to minor and major issues.

Moreover, he was professional and responsive. He was also easy to talk to, which many of his clients appreciated because they could ask him about their many concerns.

Overview Property Inspection is sadly closed on Sundays. If you want to hire them, we recommend booking immediately since they close a bit earlier.
