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.
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.
Despite the fact that the selling agent wanted the home inspection to be finished in about an hour, Glen ensured that he took his time and gave the property a thorough inspection. The electronic report with attached photos really helped by documenting all the issues that needed to be addressed in future renovations. Oh, and based on the issues discovered/documented we were able to save a bundle on the purchase of our home. I would recommend House to Home property inspections to anyone.Read more
