“Danger is in the Air!”
Did you know May is Emergency Preparedness Month?
There are many dangers hidden within any home. Some of these danger are especially great for children. For helpful tips to protect your little ones, check out our article
“We’re always thinking of your safety.”
With Spring in the air, many of you may be thinking about starting some home renovation projects. However, before you start, I sincerely hope you will listen to my radio interview on Renovation Red Flags
.
Contrary to what many people think, asbestos is still lurking in many homes. This ongoing danger has prompted the ASTTBC

Still a Hidden Killer!
Many people believe that asbestos is a “problem of the past” which no longer exists. Well that is simply not the case…
Home Warranty Inspection:
A professional home inspection
will ensure the builder has provided quality workmanship and has repaired all the defects in your new home !
What you need to know about the New Home Warranty Program:
Even if your home is covered by the 2-5-10 New Home Warranty Program, i
t’s up to you to document all deficiencies in writing and report them to the builder, H.P.O. (Homeowner Protection Office) and the Warranty-Provider, before those critical days run out.
Most homeowners can easily identify cosmetic deficiencies but it takes a professional who is familiar with all the building codes to find the rest. The best time to re-inspect is after you have been living in the home but prior to the one year warranty
expiring.

“Thank you Glenn for recently conducting our home inspection. I recommend Glenn and his team 100%, especially if you are thinking of purchasing a new home for the first time.
As first homebuyers, we were very nervous, embarking on the largest financial decision and commitment of our lives, not to mention how much of a stressful process it can be. The content and professionalism of the inspection, not only gave us peace of mind, but Glenn also discovered a gas leak (which was promptly dealt with thanks to the inspection). The Seller had the leak repaired and we are now eagerly anticipating moving into our first home.
Glenn certainly made a stressful time easier to deal with and now armed with the information from your inspection, we have confidence that our decision to purchase this home is the right one. Thanks Glenn, we’ll certainly recommend your services.
