Yes. I use drone technology for safe, detailed inspections of roofs and hard to reach areas.
Do you inspect new homes under Tarion Warranty?
Yes. I provide Tarion Warranty Inspections to help you identify issues before the warranty period ends.
Do you understand the unique challenges of homes in Ottawa?
Yes. Living and working in Ottawa means I understand the local conditions that affect homes here.
