Trusted Home Inspectors in Kelowna, BC

The cost of a home inspection may vary depending on the property's location, age and approximate square footage; however, price should not be the deciding factor when selecting a home inspector. The qualifications and credentials of the inspector, as well as your comfort level with the home inspector, himself, should be what guides you to a confident choice. We ask you to give us a call, chat with our inspector and receive a specific quote, tailored to your specific property. The cost of a McZak home inspection for a single-family home starts at $500+GST, with basic condos starting at $375+GST. But remember, buying a home is a big investment; you should be focused on receiving the best service and value from a quality inspector, not just finding the best price. As with everything: you get what you pay for.

Though it is not mandatory for you to attend the home inspection, many home buyers find it a valuable learning experience. If you are not able to be there for the full duration, it is highly recommended that you attend at least the last 30-60 minutes, at which time the inspector will go over the notable points of the inspection and address any questions or concerns you might have. Your being present also allows our home inspector to show you valuable safety and maintenance features of the home, including: the main water and furnace shut offs, how and where to change the furnace filter, etc. Not to worry, though, if you are unable to attend the inspection, all of this information will also be detailed in your home inspection report and, of course, you are welcome to contact our inspector at any time to ask any questions you might have.

On average, McZak Inspections books a home inspection for 3-4 hours; however, the duration of a home inspection will vary depending on the age, condition, and complexity of the property. The actual home inspection takes roughly 3 hours, giving 30-60minutes for the inspector to present any specifics of note from the property to address any questions or concerns the client might have. McZak Home inspections is dedicated to ensuring their clients have all the necessary knowledge and feel sufficiently informed to make confident decisions about their property.

Before a home inspection, we ask that your home is tidy. We also ask that, where possible, there is easy access to: attic and crawlspace hatches, utility rooms, electrical panels, and air conditioners (when applicable). If the home inspector does not have open access to these areas, they will be noted as an access limitation and be left out of the home inspection report. Please note that a home inspector is not authorized to move furniture or belongings that may be blocking access to inspection areas.

The Home Inspector's Association of BC (HIABC) has a high standard of certification and continued accreditation for its members and ensures all their inspectors are highly educated, knowledgeable, and insured. All HIABC home inspectors follow a strict code of ethics and detailed scope of inspection. Additionally, all HIABC home inspectors are required to be licensed through Consumer Protection BC.
