Official Home Inspection

Buying, selling, or renovating a home is a big decision. A professional home inspection helps you understand the true condition of the property so you can move forward with confidence.

At Renotica GTA, our inspections are performed by a certified home inspector following OAHI standards. We look beyond surface finishes to identify safety concerns, hidden issues, and items that may lead to costly repairs in the future.

Why an OAHI-Based Inspection Matters

An inspection guided by OAHI principles means a consistent, structured process that covers all major systems in the home. You receive an unbiased, professional opinion you can use to negotiate, plan repairs, or budget for future improvements, instead of relying on quick visual impressions.

What We Inspect

Exterior & Structure

We start with the outside of the home, checking how well it is protected and how water drains away from the building.

• Visible foundation and structure
• Exterior walls, siding, and trim
• Walkways, steps, porches, and balconies
• Grading and drainage around the home

Roof & Attic

The roof and attic play a major role in protecting your home from weather and humidity. We look for signs of wear, leaks, and poor ventilation.

• Roof covering, flashing, and visible roof components
• Gutters and downspouts where accessible
• Attic insulation and ventilation
• Visible signs of moisture or structural concerns

Electrical & Plumbing

We review the visible parts of the electrical and plumbing systems to help identify safety issues or potential future problems.

• Main electrical panel and visible wiring (where accessible)
• A sample of outlets, switches, and fixtures
• Visible supply and drain piping
• Hot water tank and exposed plumbing connections

Heating, Cooling & Ventilation

Your comfort and energy use depend on properly working mechanical systems. We visually inspect heating and cooling equipment and note obvious concerns.

• Furnace or boiler (where accessible)
• Air conditioner or heat pump, if present and in season
• Visible ductwork and air distribution
• General ventilation and airflow observations

Interior & Safety

Inside the home, we pay close attention to safety, comfort, and signs of wear or water damage.

• Walls, ceilings, floors, and stairs
• Windows and interior doors (sampled for operation)
• Visible moisture staining or damage
• Basic safety items such as railings and smoke/CO alarms (where present)

When Should You Book a Home Inspection?

Our inspection services are helpful at several key points in the life of a home.

• Before you buy, to understand the true condition of the property
• Before you list, to avoid surprises during the sale process
• Before major renovations, especially in older homes
• Before a builder warranty expires on newer homes

What You Receive After the Inspection

Once the inspection is complete, you receive a clear, written report that is easy to review and share.

• A summary of key findings and priorities
• Photos of important issues and areas of concern
• Comments on safety items, maintenance, and recommended repairs
• Practical guidance on what to address now and what to plan for later
