1st Call Home Inspections offers inspections to buyers of re-sale homes or New Construction homes which require a Tarion Warranty Inspection.  We also offer a Homeowner Maintenance & Safety inspection service. 

You will receive a same day, detailed defect inspection report, including description of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.  The report is colour coded, which allows you to zoom in on the most important defects.
