We hired Mike from Meadowvale to do a home inspection for us from our Realtor's list of inspectors. We found him to be honest, friendly and understanding of our needs and concerns. We feel he had our best interest in mind and explained everything thoroughly in a way that was easy to understand. His knowledge of real estate in general and how homes are built was evident. Thank you for helping us with our house purchase! We will recommend Meadowvale to others who are looking to buy a home.

Meadowvale Home Inspections provided an inspection on a home we purchased in summer 2019. The company came highly recommended to us from our real estate advisor. Overall, we feel the inspection report we received was mediocre, at best - certainly not a report you would want to wholly rely upon. After taking possession and moving into our new home, we discovered little things - some cosmetic, some more substantial. What wasn’t noted in our inspection report were items such as: one side of the entire front porch sinking by 3-4” compared to the rest of the porch (and separating away from the house), or one side of the house having outside perimeter drains and the other side having none, or a major root bursting through the drain tile, or an in-floor heating system that has not functioned since day one. None of these are mentioned in the inspection report. It seems that while the checklist sections were started, but weren’t inspected thoroughly enough. Throughout the report, sections have glaring disclaimers of what the inspection does not include and recommends qualified contractors be used for further inspection. At best, this inspection firm is good for a 'first glance', but should not be considered solid or reliable as an inspection upon which you make major home purchase decisions. As an aside, during the post-inspection conversation in-person, we were consistently reminded how busy the inspector was, and that he kept forgetting to not book two appointments on the same day. Unfortunately, should we need a home inspection in the future, we will be looking elsewhere.

Mike was a pleasure to work with. He has deep industry knowledge and experience which was evident in his inspection report. Mike really goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are happy and spent significant time explaining the nuances for the report and suggested remediation for issues. We would highly recommend Mike for anyone needing a home inspection. We were very confident proceeding with the purchase of our new home thanks to Mike's work.

Mike was professional and extremely helpful in identifying problems and also possible solutions. He was very detailed and conducted a thorough inspection. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any type of home inspection. He also clearly enjoys his work and takes pride in a job well done.

I hired Mike to do an inspection on my home to help me resolve some potential moisture issues and to check on a few things I was wondering about. Mike also performed a check for a buried underground oil tank at the same time which saved me money! He was very flexible with his schedule and did a very thorough job. Looking at my water tank he realized there was just the tiniest of leaks that I had not noticed at all. He sent a photo of my water tank label to a friend who is a plumber to see if it was covered under warranty. It turned out to be covered but only for "0" months. Instead of just relaying this information and letting me deal with it, he called the plumbing supply store 5 minutes before they closed, took the label in and came back with a replacement water tank for me. No extra charge! That was an incredible service. I also really liked his calm and positive manner. I would highly recommend Mike and Meadowvale Home Inspections. Thank you for going way beyond what is expected Mike!!

Mike was extremely flexible and responsive to an urgent inspection I needed . I have had >10 inspections done in the past on previous purchases and the final report Mike provided was by far the most comprehensive and thorough I have ever had. Fair and reasonable price and excellent product!

Excellent service and a comprehensive inspection. I appreciated being able to get one inspector in for the house, oil tank search and to scope drains. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.

Mike from Meadowvale Home Inspectors was exactly what we needed to feel confident in purchasing our first home. I can't say enough how valuable it was to be able to have 1 inspection service provide a report for underground oil tanks, perimeter drains and all the rest when on such a tight time line. Mike was professional, knew exactly what he was talking about and was able to provide a report to us in no time. His expertise and knowledge made a stressful situation a little bit easier and we thank him wholeheartedly for that. We recommend him to any home buyer looking to gain peace of mind when entering this crazy market that just doesn't allow the time to ponder.

Our realtor arranged Mike to inspect home on less than 24 hours notice. We met Mike shortly after his inspection. He clearly communicated the inspection findings along with pictures to highlight issues of concern. The written inspection report was provided within a few hours. It was simple to understand and included numerous pictures. We consider the report an integral reference document on all necessary future home repairs, upgrades and modifications. Mike's experience as a home builder and inspector for home warranty program give him a wide breadth of knowledge and expertise on all aspects of construction. We would not hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone needing a home inspection. 5 stars!!!

Our experience with Mike was very positive. During the walk-through he explained in detail everything he observed, and offered tips as to how to go about repair some of the minor issues ourselves. Upon our request he also provided some contacts that we needed, and not just contacts but his personal description of these contacts and what to expect from them. What had impressed me also was how a day or two after the inspections we had additional questions via e-mail, and Mike responded promptly and courteously. Excellent experience.

We were extremely happy with the service from Mike at Meadowvale Home Inspection. He is very knowledgable, honest and goes above and beyond. After a thorough inspection of the property he went through his detailed findings with us and explained everything. His report gave us confidence in proceeding with our offer. Would definitely suggest him to anyone needing a home inspection.

It was our first home inspection, and Mike from Meadowvale Home Inspection Services was excellent in providing very to-the-point feedback, and pointing out things that needed to be looked into further. His in-person explanations as well as the written report provided us with the information we needed to make a well-informed decision. Mike definitely took some of the pressure off during this stressful home-buying process! Thanks, Mike!
