Your Ottawa Home Inspection Partner
My goal is to help you make the best decision, when buying a home so you can move forward with confidence, without stress or headaches. A good home inspection can mean the difference between a great investment and a major regret. I offer one of the most comprehensive inspection packages in the market today. If a crack appears, air leakage develops in colder areas, or another issue comes up, you know exactly who to call.
I will explain what it is, what it could mean, and connect you with the right professional to address it. Before I leave any property, I remind every client: “My work isn’t done. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out.”
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. You deserve to feel confident and informed every step of the way. I am here to make sure that happens.

Buyer's Home / Mobile Inspection
starting at $400
A professional Buyer's Home Inspection is the best way to make sure you protect your financial investment. I will inspect everything I can see touch. You'll receive an in-depth inspection same day report so you can make a truly informed decision.
The report will cover the following areas of your future home:
Structural Components, Exterior, Roofing, Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, Air Conditioning, Interiors, Insulation Ventilation.
Kitchen Appliances are $30/extra.
Detached Garage / Shed $75/per structure
$250 per unit for multi units (ex. Duplex, Mother-In-Law Suite, Multi-Family)
Crawlspace Inspections are $75/extra
If your home has a crawl space, it's important to have it checked with the rest of your home, to ensure there is no leaks, water damage to the structure supporting your home or the essential systems running underneath it.
Pre-Listing Inspection
starting at $400
The one piece of advice I would give to every home seller is to get a Pre-Listing/Seller's Inspection before putting their house on the market. This quite simply provides the easiest path toward getting a fast sale from a confident buyer. After all, the Seller's Inspection will inform you about any issues with the house. You can then either repair these issues or decide to disclose them upfront. Either way, your buyers expectations will be properly managed!
Condo Inspection
400sqft -1201+sqft
This inspection is roughly the same as a Standard Home Inspection, with some important distinctions.
I will inspect the interior structure, systems and components that are specific to your unit, but exclude any exterior and common elements and areas that may fall under the purview of the building's owner.
• Electrical System
• Plumbing
• Interior Features
• Appliances
• Balconies & Patios
New Construction Inspections
starting at $400
Many buyers have the misconception that newly constructed homes will be absolutely perfect. As nice as this sounds, the reality is that almost every house has problems from day one. With a New Construction Inspection, you can get these issues identified and corrected before you take possession of the property.
BGRS RELOCATION
Starting at $400
Bent Nails supports Relocation Programs for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF RP), Government of Canada (TBS) &
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). As a Third Party Service Provider (TPSP), I play an important role in the process.
I make your transition as easy as possible, when buying a new home. I'm happy to help anytime, give me a call.
The main purpose of a relocation program is to facilitate and support the process of employees or individuals
moving to a new location, typically for work-related reasons. It aims to minimize disruptions, ensure a smooth transition
& help individuals settle into their new environment.
Annual Home Check-Up
Recommended every 2-3 years
Starting at $200
Houses seem to have bigger issues with deferred maintenance than cars. Part of the problem is that homes don't usually come with a checklist of required maintenance services and time periods like a car does.
Unfortunately, letting maintenance fall behind can lead to huge repair bills. Avoid the hassle and expense of major delays by scheduling regular Home Maintenance check-up.
