The inspection
He starts at the roof and works down.
Every photo below came off a real inspection — which is the whole point. You get the same pictures, in the same detail, in your report.
Up topRoof, attic & insulation
Over the shingles and into the roof space: framing, ventilation, and how far the insulation actually reaches. Attics are where the expensive surprises hide.
InsideThe electrical panel
The panel comes off. Breakers, wiring and connections get checked one by one, and anything that needs attention is photographed with a note you can hand to an electrician.
Down belowPlumbing & mechanical
Supply lines, drains, the water heater and the systems around them — traced and documented rather than glanced at on the way past.
OutsideExterior & grading
Siding, penetrations, and the way the ground slopes away from the foundation — the quiet causes of most water problems, checked in whatever weather the day brings.
What you walk away with
A report you can actually act on
Buyers describe the same thing again and again: a written report, with pictures, that separates what matters now from what to plan for later — and an inspector who already explained all of it on the walkthrough.
- Walk through with him and ask anything
- Findings explained in plain language
- Photos of every issue, in writing
- Maintenance tips for the years ahead

Common questions
What buyers ask most.
Question not covered here? Issa answers the phone and replies to email quickly.
Call (819) 918-5777- How much does a home inspection cost?
- It depends on the building — size, age, property type and what's accessible on the day. Call or email Issa with the address and he'll give you a clear price before you book. No buyer should be finding out the number afterwards.
- How soon do I get the report?
- You leave the inspection already knowing the important parts — Issa explains every finding on the spot while you walk through with him. The written report with photos follows. Ask him for the exact turnaround when you book; it moves with the season.
- Can I come along on the inspection?
- Yes, and it's worth doing. It's the single thing buyers mention most in his reviews: he takes the time to explain what he's looking at, while he's looking at it, and answers questions as they come up.
- What's in the report?
- A detailed written report with photos, in plain language, separating what needs attention now from what to plan for later. Several clients also mention the maintenance tips he includes for the years ahead.
- What actually gets inspected?
- Issa starts at the roof and works down: roof and attic, insulation and ventilation, the electrical panel, plumbing and mechanical systems, then the exterior envelope and the grading around the foundation.
- Do you inspect on the Ontario side?
- Yes. Issa works both sides of the river — Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer, Ottawa, Orléans, Kanata and the surrounding areas. A little further out? Call and ask.
