A home inspection is an objective, visual, non-destructive examination of the systems and structure of a home, from the roof to the foundation. Having a home inspection is similar to a medical check-up. If a problem or symptom is discovered, the inspector may recommend further evaluation. A home inspection is not a warranty or insurance program, but a method to assist you in understanding the condition of your home.
With John Elliott's Home Inspection's, you are choosing a certified professional who provides high-quality home inspection services to the Rideau St. Lawrence/Cornwall and surrounding area. We take great pride in doing a thorough job and going beyond our clients’ expectations.
Our home inspection experience is inclusive. We encourage you to join us during the inspection, and to ask questions as you go. Having you with us on the inspection also gives us an opportunity to provide you with tips on home care and maintenance. For instance, you can learn how to change the furnace filter, turn off the water, gas, and electricity in an emergency.
A home inspection is valuable, but unless the experience is well-documented, most people won’t remember all the important details. That’s why we provide a comprehensive written report to serve as your guide for as long as you own the home. It not only describes the house components and their condition, but also provides insight into what improvement
I'm Valmont Bérubé and my son, Carle Bérubé. I was a general contractor for the past 25 years and a building inspector for 14 years. Carle has been in the construction business since 1994 and a building inspector since 2005. As of 2013 Carle has become the primary inspector of our business.
He does building inspections from roof to foundation, followed by an extensive Inspection Report. We have vast experience in building and renovating solariums, decks, houses and flooring. We also have knowledge in electricity and plumbing.
Carle and I were hosts of a television show entitled 2 x 4 on Rogers Cable Channel 23 for 9 years. We had guests on various construction issues where we solved any problems from the foundation to the roof.
I taught carpentry at Cité collégiale where men and women learn how to build houses etc. in order to achieve their carpentry certificates. Carle also taught welding at Cité collégiale. He was also a volunteer Fire Fighter and a Fire Code Inspector.
