Montreal Residential Inspections

A home inspection plays a crucial part in providing peace of mind when purchasing a new or used house.  Protect yourself against problems that could result in major expenses.

Inspections Rodrigues provides Laval, South Shore, West Island and Montreal Residential home inspections.  If you are buying an older home it is especially vital that you do your due diligence with a property condition report & assessment in order to minimize your risks.  Water infiltration through roofs and basements can cause tens of thousands of dollars of repairs if not caught prior to purchase.

Age, geographic location and construction are all factors to be considered when purchasing in greater Montreal.  Doing an inspection may give you leverage in the negotiation process, so that the bid price takes into account required renovations.  Some of the key points addressed in the inspection of your residential property include the age and material of the electrical system, leaks in the plumbing, water damaged structure, attic insulation and prior renovations that may have safety issues.

Our inspections provide on-site reports of the property & identification of potential major defects that could be addressed in the negotiation of the purchase.  Included in our reports are detailed explanations of all trouble spots identified, potential structural and electrical safety issues, and suggestions on future maintenance requirements for budget forecasting.

What happens when you want more details?
A visual inspection can only get so far.  When a definitive identification of a potential problem is required, additional testing and inspection services can be provided for a more in depth view of the property under consideration.
