Another vote for Bloodhound. Younger guy and I found that he invests in cutting edge technology which is a good sign in an industry where things can become stagnant. Inspection went well and in fact the only thing that he found wrong with the inspected properly was the exact thing that failed several months later. So it was not unexpected. Solid service.

I used [Coastal Home Inspections.](http://www.homeinspectionsvictoria.com/). He was incredible, meticulous, and we got a super detailed report that was about 78 pages long with pictures of every conceivable thing that he could find and what sort of risk he thought it posed. My house is around 120 years old so it was super helpful to have, but my realtor mentioned that he'd known people to use that guy and get freaked out by all the stuff he would find, even if it was just little cosmetic things. Personally, that list has just become our to-do list of maintenance and the only two major issues we were able to fix ourselves easily right away (did NOT trust previous homeowners, decided we'd do a better job. Ha)
I've used Garth Anderson of [Insight Home Inspections](https://4 insight.ca/) in the past. Really good guy and had a solid rate. Very pleased with his level of attention to detail.

The place I used, 'Home Check' was awful

I went with Bloodhound due to their exceptional reviews on Google and I had a great experience. I was able to pick the type of inspection I wanted for my condo (just my unit, whole building, etc). Everything went smoothly and I got a copy of the photos and comments emailed to me afterwards. Can't remember the fellow's name but he really seemed to know his stuff.

[Gary Pigeon!](http://www.gpiweb.ca/gpigeon/Home/tabid/13701/Default.aspx) Quite thorough and reasonable price. Very satisfied with his services. Good call on keeping a level of independence!

Avoid Inspectech. They did the inspection ahead of time without us and missed/got wrong some majorly obvious things (ie. wrong type of plumbing material -house was done in copper with one or two plastic fittings on replaced sinks, said whole house was plumbed in plastic, said our stove wasn't properly vented to the outside, when it actually was etc.). They gave us our inspection on a DVD (!?!).

We chose [Crest Building Consultancy](http://www.crestbc.ca/) after receiving recommendations here and on HouseHuntVictoria. By far the best inspector we've had: meticulous, informative, experienced, and helpful.
Home inspector Looking at buying a house. Can anyone suggest a good and thorough home inspector? Property could be on acreage so any other recommendations for potential...

Marty Erletz at Pillar To Post has been fantastic to me in the past. Super competent and thorough, physical and digital report, lifetime followup, etc. I have no affiliation.

Garth Anderson, was highly recommended to us and we will use him again when we buy our next place.

Talk to James at Safe and Sound Home Inspections. By FAR the most impressive inspector I've ever worked with. Well worth it for an older property in particular.
