Condition Surveys
Condition surveys help an owner understand the current property conditions, needed repairs, options and costs. In many cases we catch small cost problems before they become expensive unplanned repair costs.
The format is similar to pre-purchase inspections, but addresses specific concerns of the owner.

Preparing to Sell
Condition surveys are often performed prior to listing a property for sale.

Ontario New Home Warranty Program
Buyers of new homes are covered by the Ontario New Home Warranty Program (ONHWP) against defects in materials and workmanship for the first year. Water penetration from the exterior and mechanical equipment such as the furnace have warranty coverage of two years from the date of possession. The house is covered for a period of 7 years against major structural failure which leaves the house substantially uninhabitable. The buyer must notify both the builder and the ONHWP in writing within the warranty period.
Guardian's inspection before the end of the warranty period helps identify and document incomplete and deficient construction issues. Often these issues relate to failure to meet the various installation requirements. It should however be noted that most houses will in some way fail to meet the required installation requirements and codes.
