Making the Right Choice!
Why is a home inspection important?
In a nutshell, a home inspection reduces the risk to you, the buyer, by providing a complete physical examination of the general integrity, functionality and overall safety of the home and its associated components.
Are all home inspectors created equal?
Of course not, and this is why choosing the right home inspector is critical to the home buying process. Make sure you choose a certified inspector who has relevant experience. Shop for quality, not the lowest fee, and don't be afraid to ask for a sample report. The best inspectors are detailed and thorough - and a thorough inspection enables a home buyer to avoid costly surprises.

We’re buying our first home and the process is full of anxiety.
The home we’re looking at has an external vapour barrier. And the basement has a sump pump.
We were worried about why the barrier was there, and what a sump pump meant in terms of flooding.
In our call with Stephen he explained everything in great detail. He also told us to get an extra warning meter in case the sump pump ever failed.
We walked away from the call, re-assured, and feeling 1,000% better.
We strongly recommend you call Stephen when you have questions about a new house you’re buying, or a question about your current home.
He knows what he’s talking about, he’s experienced, and he'll calmly walk you through all your concerns and worries.
We highly recommend you use him. It will save you time and worry.

Stephen Thompson's inspection was very well done. He showed me things about the house that I never even thought of and some preventative maintenance to protect the house in the future. I would strongly recommend Stephen for any home inspection!

As a Realtor, I deal with many home inspectors, all of which work differently. Stephen works in a way that is compatible to all styles. He takes the time to explain every detail. I really like how he doesn't dwell on an issue but instead offers advice on solutions. He's treats a 150K property with the same meticulous detail as a 500K property. I recommend Stephen to not only my buyers but my colleagues as well."

Stephen was very professional in his work. As first time home buyers, he was very patient with us and answered all the questions that we had in a layman version. He made sure that he checked everything that was needing attention and advised us what we should do going forward. A very informative person and (we would) definitely advise anyone who is considering an inspection to call him as you won't regret it.

From the moment I contacted Stephen, I noticed how professional he was, while making me feel at ease for buying my first home. Stephen took the opportunity to explain to me what he was doing with each inspection, along with repeating it so I understood. I would recommend Stephen to the naive home buyer along with the experienced. His work was delivered in a VERY timely manner and his report was well written. Thanks again Stephen !

Stephen Thompson did an excellent job inspecting an older home I was interested in purchasing in Halifax. I was unable to be there in person, as I live in BC. Stephen's report was very thorough and detailed with lots of pictures; he was able to explain everything to me over the phone as we went thru the report together. I would use Stephen Thompson's services again without hesitation.

Stephen was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to answer questions as I had them throughout the home inspection. He also provided insight into products which could be used to address minor issues found. Very thorough inspection and very professional. Highly recommend Thompson Inspections.
