Buying a Home?
An inspection prior to making an offer on a property will help to ensure there are no unforeseen issues that could influence your decision. Buying a home is a big decision, perhaps one of the biggest in your life. Try not to let emotions get in the way of doing as much as you possibly can to ensure your new home is what you think it is. The cost of a home inspection is very minor compared to the purchase price of the home or the cost of fixing a problem you weren’t aware of. Consider a home inspection so that you can feel confident about what you are buying.
Selling your Home?
An inspection prior to listing your home will speed up the process by eliminating the chance of receiving offers that include a condition of a home inspection. The inspection prior to listing will provide you with validation for your asking price and give you peace of mind regarding full disclosure. It would be awful to find yourself in a situation where you have already purchased your new home and can’t sell your old home or get your asking price because of issues you were not aware of. If something is found in the inspection, you will be able to adjust your selling price accordingly or have the issue rectified prior to listing.
Still under warranty?
An inspection prior to your home warranty expiring only makes sense. You have undoubtedly noticed at least a few small things around your home that need fixing; perhaps even minor cracks in your walls and ceilings. This is quite normal as a house will go through a period of shifting and settling. These smaller items are not necessarily covered by your builder under your warranty, however, it would be prudent of you to have a full inspection to ensure there are no other underlying issues that could lead to costly repairs. A home inspection can reduce your risk and save you money down the road.
Considering renovations?
Are you already settled in your perfect home but feel it is time for some upgrades? Perhaps you are concerned about the efficiency of your current systems? Are you considering upgrades but aren’t sure where to start? These are all great reasons to get a home inspection. A thorough inspection of all the systems and components of your home will provide you with valuable information that will help you make informed decisions about renovating. Often we focus on the cosmetic appeal of our home but neglect the inner workings that provide the foundation for a strong and stable home. A home inspection can help you to feel confident that your renovation dollars are used wisely.
Testimonials
He takes pride in his work and it showed. Kevin is a very personable guy and his work ethic was incredible.
We finally found a home after a very long search and knew there was only one company we could trust to help us make this very important purchase.
Kevin was beyond friendly, prompt and so informative. His knowledge, work ethic and pride shine through from the moment he started. We were not only provided with a fully detailed binder with all our inspections finding but an electronic copy for our records as well. Kevin was thorough, and answered all of our questions during and after the inspection. Booking was easy and Sandy and Kevin were very lovely and accommodated our tight schedule.
We strongly recommend using k&s home inspections!! 😊
My home inspection was done with excellence and I feel better prepared to move forward with the sale of my home. Kevin's report makes it possible for me to put my home on the market with integrity, giving myself and the potential buyer a better idea on the health of my home. I will be certain to recommend them to family and friends.
Kevin provided an accurate depiction of all the potential issues that where hidden. His report was second to none and the piece of mind he provided on the biggest purchase of our lives, can't thank you enough!!!!!
Kevin’s knowledge and professionalism was outstanding during our home inspection. The report was thorough and intelligible. I will be using K & S Inspections again.
Kevin's assessment was accurate as soon as we were able to see inside. The builder did not properly screw the plywood or glue it and it buckled when the house shifted through the seasons.
“K& S Home Inspections Ltd. did a great job inspecting the house we are purchasing and providing a comprehensive and very useful report quickly. They were on time for the inspection, equipped to do the work and very pleasant to work with. My tagging along as the inspection proceeded was welcomed and I gained a lot of house specific information as things progressed. The broad and comprehensive knowledge of the inspector was remarkable. I particularly appreciated the sensitivity of K&S to the owner of the house which was demonstrated by caring for the owner’s property like a person would care for their own. Their technology is right up to date and the way information was recorded, evaluated and incorporated in an automated check list style was highly reassuring. We would be very pleased to work with them again.”
Kevin & Sandy are the only local inspectors who offer any support in mentoring newcomers to the industry. Their willingness to offer guidance in the field as well as technical support with report writing is not only appreciated, but also sets them apart from other inspectors in our city. Throughout the pandemic, "Support Local" has become Winnipeg's Mantra and Kevin & Sandy are no exception!
Kevin gave us peace of mind to follow through with our purchase. He confirmed items we could see and were aware of as well as pointed things that we hadn't seen but weren't deal breakers. He was very thourough and provided exceptional service. Highly recommend using Kevin before you make a property purchase, big or small. We used his services from a recommendation & no regrets!
You will easily understand and appreciate his knowledge and expertise.
