Worried About What You Can’t See?

Most problems don’t show up during a walkthrough. By the time you find them, you already own them.

Hidden Damage

Foundation issues, failing pipes, and electrical hazards stay invisible until it’s too late to negotiate.

Costly Surprises

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.

Rushed Decisions

In a competitive market, buyers feel pressured to skip inspections or waive conditions, and that's when costly mistakes happen.

I Know Exactly What You’re Up Against

John Rennie, Certified Home Inspector, JBR Inspections

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.

The JBR Difference

Know Exactly What 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.

Three Steps to Buying With Confidence

A simple process designed around your home buying timeline, from booking your Edmonton home inspection to report delivery.

Schedule

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.

Inspection

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.

Report

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.

Proudly Serving Edmonton and the Surrounding Communities

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.
