What to Expect from Your Home Inspection

Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Young Inspection Services provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us.We have a thorough, multi-point checklist for the inspection process. We will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after the inspection is complete, taking care to point out any defects found.

Our licensed home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn.

After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, that will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.

Young Inspections did a great job inspecting our home. From first contact, Brendan's communication was excellent, he returned our calls promptly, and was very accomodating in answering our many questions. The inspection was far more detailed than I expected, and the report was much better than any I have seen. Very modern and clean, with clear descriptions of all the issues, great pictures, and thermal images. He discovered several significant issues which we were then able to use to negotiate against the purchase price. Fantastic value when you consider he uncovered over 40k worth of issues with the home. Highly Recommended!

I highly recommend Young Inspection Services. Brendan was very professional and helpful. The inspection was very thorough and everything was explained in detail and in terms that I understood. The report was informative, detailed, and easy to read with lots of pictures and recommendations on how to fix issues that came up. Brendan went above any beyond to point out things that were not a concern at the moment but would need to be taken care of in the near future. The report and walkthrough helped us make an informed decision on buying our first home as we knew what repairs needed immediate attention and what problems we could expect in the near future. His time was a great investment and I would definitely recommend Young Inspection Services to my friends and family.

We bought a new home in Saskatoon and used Young Inspection Services to inspect our place prior to buying. We were very happy with the service Brendan provided, he took the time to look over the small details and the few issues that he came across was able to explain them to us very clearly. Would definatley recommend Young Inspections to anyone and we will for sure be using him in the future when need be.

He made sure we knew exactly what we were buying and getting into!10/10 would recommend!

I have come to know about the home inspector through my realtor. His professionalism, detailed, and honest explanation about the inspection he had done is amazing. I highly recommend him for someone who wants peace of mind when buying your new home.

Brendan did very thorough work when inspecting my first home and ended up catching lots of small details that would’ve caused issues and headaches later. After the inspection, Brendan was accommodating enough to walk my realtor and I through the property and go over the details via a video call. I would absolutely recommend Young Inspection. Thanks, Brendan!

First time home buyers! Had a lot of questions and Brendan had all the answers. Inspection was very thorough and professional. Would recommend time and time again!

Willow Genesis

Brendan was great. He was on time and did a thorough inspection. The house we were looking at was a project house and the thing that sets Brendan apart from a normal inspector is his past building and renovating experience. I had lots of questions about how to fix stuff or ideas on changes and he had all the answers because he’s done all that stuff. So he was a wealth of knowledge on top the normal inspection. Would highly recommend!
