"The written report (provided in a binder) is great as a reference and now we live in the house we refer to it as a guide for the repairs recommended."
Bob & Linda

"Brian was able to offer us very valuable information about our purchase making the decision to buy much easier."
Kevin & Monica

"We were very nervous being first time home buyers but Brian was so thorough and easy to talk to, that we felt we knew the house inside out."
Robin & Dawn

"Due to Gary's thorough inspection, along with other contributing factors, I was able to make an informed and wise decision on whether or not I should purchase the property and in this case I did not, as the building needed over one million dollars worth of work… I hired Gary again to inspect the second condominium I was interested in purchasing. First off Gary gave me a 20% discount and again did a professional and thorough inspection of the property... Thanks to Gary I was saved, from losing potentially $40,000. Bottom line, in my experience Inspect International (Gary Poirier) is a professional, conscientious and experienced business, that treats people fairly. Unlike many other companies that provide a service, Inspect International will provide excellent service for a fair, reasonable and affordable price."

"The house we were renting was placed on the market and a prospective purchaser had hired Gary to do the inspection. We were impressed with his thoroughness and professional manner. As it turned out, Gary's inspection resulted in the buyer's withdrawing their offer! Another buyer, another inspector - only this time the inspection passed with flying colours. Who do you think we chose when we required an inspection on the townhouse we had made an offer on?... We were impressed with Gary's thoroughness and professionalism and would not hesitate to recommend his services."

"I did not know anything about Mr. Steve Beliveau until on 19th December, 1996 he came to carry out the house inspection for my pre-purchase home located on 4971 Lancelot, Richmond. The first thing that I found out in him was that he was very polite and friendly, displayed an immense interest in making every effort to reach perfection. He could clearly and thoroughly explain everything in detail making me understand what I should do in order to keep the house in good condition. It was really pleasing to find in him a strong sense of responsibility. Indeed, I was very satisfied with his service. In spite of my brief acquaintance with him, I am very certain that he is the right man to entrust with a difficult task."

"As a condition of the purchase of a residence resulting from the sale of our home at the above noted address we required the property to be subject to an inspection prior to the final acceptance of our offer to purchase."

"To satisfy this requirement we retained the service of Mr. Steve Beliveau, Inspect International to conduct the inspection. I was most impressed by the thoroughness of the inspection and with the care and attention to detail which Mr. Beliveau demonstrated during the process. Mr. Beliveau explained to my complete satisfaction the basis for his assessment of the structural integrity of the building and the evidence that he found of sound construction practices which had been followed when the house was built some 11 years ago."
Al Webster

"I called up "Inspect International" whose name was given to me by my realtor. I must say that I was totally impressed with their service. The inspector who came out (Steve) was very prompt, polite, professional, and thorough. He answered all the questions I had thoroughly. He explained exactly what he was going to do and how he was going to do it and offered suggestions on ways to improve things around the property just to prevent problems in the future."
Ashif Suleman

"As a doctor specialized in Cardiology in Taiwan prior to moving here, it is a professional habit and instinct that we do our jobs with sharp observation, detailed thoroughness, extreme caution, and systematic analysis. I found the same attitude in you while performing the house inspection, which I think is as crucial and as essential in making a correct diagnosis on the human body. Moreover, from the easy-to-understand, detailed explanation during and after the inspection, you did educate us on what to look into when we encounter house maintenance in the future."
Raymond Yeung

"Steve's manner is professional and friendly. No question is a 'dumb' question! He takes the time to ensure understanding and does a very thorough inspection. I learned a great deal from the experience and felt much more confident going through with the purchase."
Muriel Kera

"We called the office serving our area and got an immediate and thorough response from Steve Beliveau. We were able to set up an appointment for an inspection with very short notice. Steve showed up at the appointed time and was very personable. He had no problem with me "tagging along" and he explained the various conditions very thoroughly. We were very impressed with the professional binder that was ours to keep at the end of the three hour long, detailed inspection."

"All in all it was a small price to may for peace of mind - knowing that the house we were about to put an offer on, was structurally sound and that there would be no surprises."
Linda Gumley

"As a professional, Steve, I enjoyed your honesty. I felt very comfortable before you began, due to your personality and reassurance that you were "here for the protection of the buyer." As a new individual purchasing a home, I appreciated your personal and professional approach."

"What was most comforting to Shane and I was the thoroughness, explanations of conditions and the reporting methods completed throughout the entire unit and building. What we really should be saying is an enormous THANK-YOU."
Patrece Thomas and Shane Holweg

"Each inspection took approximately three hours and Mr. Beliveau examined the structure, heating system, plumbing system, electrical system, windows, flooring, roofing and exterior condition of the house in an educational, informative and straight forward fashion. Never having owned a home before, much of the jargon was new to me and yet on each occasion I left satisfied that I had thoroughly understood the condition of the home."
Joanne C. Challenger

"We found Steve to be knowledgeable. Efficient, courteous and he did a thorough inspection of the building with complete explanations of the conditions.

"We were most pleased with the service and would not hesitate to use Steve again or recommend him to anyone requiring a building inspector. We also found the cost of the inspection to be most reasonable."
Bill and Lorraine Richie

"After his tour of the house and detailed verbal and written explanation I felt we had lived in the house for at least a year. I felt that comfortable with the home. He was a pleasure to work with, always polite and never talking down to myself or my partner."
