Foundation issues, failing pipes, and electrical hazards stay invisible until it’s too late to negotiate.
A furnace on its last legs, poly-B piping at end of life, or an undersized electrical panel can run into the tens of thousands.
In a competitive market, buyers feel pressured to skip inspections or waive conditions, and that's when costly mistakes happen.
When I bought my first home back in 2000, I had an inspector come out. He wasn’t thorough. He took shortcuts. After I finished my own home inspection education years later, I went back through that house and found mistake after mistake he’d made. I made myself a promise: I’m not going to be that kind of inspector.
Since 2009, I’ve been doing Edmonton home inspections the way they should be done. Thermal imaging on every home. Drone 4K roof photography on every property. A same-day report that runs 14-15 pages of clear, actionable findings, not 75 pages of confusion. When all is said and done, I want you to be able to sleep at night knowing exactly what kind of home you’re buying.
I help Edmonton homebuyers understand exactly what they’re purchasing so they can buy with confidence, negotiate from a position of knowledge, and avoid costly surprises after closing. Whether you’re buying your first home or your fifth, you deserve an inspection that finds what others miss and explains it in language you can actually use.
My reports are clear, not padded. My findings are delivered the same day. And if you have questions after the inspection, you have my number.
Book online, by phone, or text. Realtors can reach out directly and I’ll coordinate with you from there. I do my best to work around your buying timeline.
I arrive 30-40 minutes early to complete the exterior before you or your realtor shows up. From there, expect roughly 90 minutes to move through the home. I use thermal imaging and a drone on every inspection, along with moisture metres, electrical testers, and more.
Your inspection report lands in your inbox the same day, emailed to both you and your realtor. If you weren’t able to attend, I’ll call you and walk through it page by page so nothing gets missed.
JBR Inspections covers a wide swath of the Edmonton metro area, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Leduc, Beaumont, Devon, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Morinville, Gibbons, and Bon Accord, a service area stretching roughly 60 miles in every direction.
I grew up in Sherwood Park and have inspected homes across every community on this list. I know where the groundwater problems are in St. Albert’s northwest neighborhoods. I know which Beaumont streets need robust sump systems. I know the building eras that tend to have poly-B piping, aluminum wiring, and undersized electrical panels, and I know what it costs to fix them. That’s local expertise you won’t get from an inspector who just plugs in your address.
