Gary at Walkabout Inspections was excellent. He came to me recommend from a friend and he did not disappoint. He responded right away, made himself available and made me feel relaxed. I am a first time home buyer who did not know what to expect and Gary made me feel confident with my decision. He was very through, professional and kind. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Gary! S
Gary does a great job walking you through your potential home pointing out not only areas of concern but also positive notes. He also is very knowledgeable and shares ways you can improve the house or things that can be done to improve the longevity of different components. We would definitely recommend him.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Remember that if you have any questions, I'm only a phone call away. 604=220-0305!

Gary did the home inspection on our new house and we couldn’t be more impressed. He was thorough, knowledgeable and patient. He answered all of my questions and gave us many great tips on things like how to save money heating our home, advice on the future gas line I’m having installed, how to warm our crawl space and therefor, our feet. All super helpful things for someone who knows nothing. You’ll love Gary and his attention to detail.
Thanks for the great review! We really appreciate happy customers.
That's what drives our business!

Extremely satisfied with Gary's home inspection. This is the second home we've purchased and our first home I found we were left in the dark during the inspection and just given a "list" at the end of the inspection. Gary, however, walks you around as he does the inspection. He pokes and prods the house from top to bottom and explains the pros and cons as he finds them. Highly recommended to anyone. Thanks Gary!
