Home Inspection in Vancouver

Vancouver’s housing stock is one of the most varied in Canada — and each era comes with its own patterns. Having inspected homes across the city, I know where to look before problems become expensive surprises.

What I pay special attention to in Vancouver homes

Pre-war character homes (before 1950): East Van and Mount Pleasant are full of beautiful older houses that may still hide knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and undersized electrical panels behind renovated walls. Insurance companies care about these — so do I.

Vancouver Specials (roughly 1965–1985): these iconic boxes are practical and solid, but I routinely check their low-slope roofs, aging ducting, converted basement suites, and the quality of decades of DIY updates.

Condos and towers: for strata units I inspect everything within the unit — plumbing fixtures, electrical, heating and ventilation, windows, and the balcony — and I flag building-envelope red flags worth raising with the strata council, especially in buildings from the leaky-condo era.

Same service, everywhere in the city

Every Vancouver inspection includes thermal imaging at no extra cost and a detailed photo report within 24 hours — in English or Vietnamese. Condos from $450, townhouses from $575, houses and duplexes from $575 — use the calculator on the home page for an instant estimate.
