Saturated foundations, soaked subfloors, and concealed leaks can stay invisible until after you've closed.
Outdated wiring, failing plumbing, and undersized HVAC systems can mean $20,000 or more in repairs you never budgeted for.
Settlement, drainage problems, and foundation issues are common in the Fraser Valley's geology and climate. Missing them is not an option.
Before I became a home inspector, I ran a concrete plant, spent six years as a petroleum engineer in oil and gas, earned my red seal as a concrete cement mason, did civil construction and geotech work rebuilding mountainsides after landslides, and trained with BC Hydro on electrical safety and disconnects. Every one of those jobs gave me something most inspectors simply don’t have: a real understanding of how homes are built, how systems work together, and how they fail.
I started this business because I wasn’t satisfied with what I saw other inspectors doing. The rushing, the surface-level scans, the walkthroughs that skip the hard questions. I knew I could do this work at a higher standard, and I’ve built Pinnacle around that. Every inspection is mine. I show up, I go through every major component, I do a full infrared and moisture meter scan, and when I’m done, I walk through the findings with you in person so you leave knowing exactly what you’re buying.
I help Vancouver and Fraser Valley homebuyers understand exactly what they’re buying before they remove subjects. That means finding the water damage hidden under a finished kitchen floor, identifying the undersized furnace in a three-year-old build, and flagging the foundation settlement that a faster inspector would have walked past.
You don’t just get a report. You get a full in-person walkthrough while you’re still in the house, plain-language explanations of every major finding, and ballpark repair costs so you’re not blindsided after closing. If you have questions afterward, call me. I’m available.
Call or book online. All bookings are handled personally. I'll confirm your inspection time and work around your schedule and subjects removal deadline.
I inspect every major system top to bottom, run a full infrared and moisture meter scan, and use a drone for hard-to-access roofs. Condos typically take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Townhouses run 2 to 4 hours. Houses run 3 to 6 hours depending on the property.
Your full written report is emailed the moment I finish. Then we walk through the house together so I can show you every major finding in person, answer your questions, and explain what anything means in plain terms before you make your decision.
I serve buyers from Hope to West Vancouver, covering Vancouver, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Langley, Mission, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, and the surrounding region. This area has its own climate, its own geology, and its own building history, and I know all of it.
The Fraser Valley sits on the Ring of Fire. The climate here means roofs, gutters, and foundations face year-round moisture pressure. Older homes have aluminum wiring and Poly-B plumbing. Newer builds have their own issues. I’ve inspected properties throughout this region and I understand what to look for in every era of construction, from 1960s Vancouver homes to brand-new builds in Chilliwack and Mission.
