I have been purchasing three houses from different builders so far, and took the first time to bring a professional inspector for 1 year Tarion Warranty of one brand new house. Darren is a very professional home inspector showing me very kind explanations and prompt responses for my questions. He is offering a reasonable cost for inspection service and the most professional and comprehensive report. While working with him, I have realized the main reason that people (home owner or prospective buyers no matter of the age of your houses) need a inspector, even for the brand-new houses these days are required to go through more diligently. I am willing to recall him for the next house sooner, and believe that Darren's experiences in the business will allow me to learn about fundamental knowledges on a home's inspection as well as maintenance in a good way. Thanks Darren. See you again.

I recommend Darren for all new homeowners because he is owner friendly and very detailed oriented in terms of inspecting your home for deficiencies. He has a vast experience and knows the builder deficiencies beforehand. He has tremendous knowledge and shares his wisdom with his clients pretty well. I had a best overall experience with his home inspection.
