An Investment in Knowledge Pays the Best Interest
Steven did an outstanding job on our inspection of the purchase of our first home. He really took his time and checked absolutely everything. He then also took the time to review everything with us and show us and explain things to us and answer any questions that we had. I highly highly recommend Steven to do your home inspection! Thank you again Steven for making this experience so positive for us!
Incredible! I cannot say enough. We called him and required an inspection within a couple of days. Steven not only was extremely accommodating he went above and beyond. My in-laws in their 80's, 90's were downsizing into a seniors mobile home. Steven took so much extra time at the end to make sure both my parents understood all he was saying making sure there was no room for unknown. Steven was great! His inspection was extremely thorough and where we had questions his knowledge was unwavering. My husband and I have moved several times as we are military and I don't believe we ever have had such care given. I, we would in future reach out to Steven for any and all inspection needs. Thank you so much Steven for exceeding our expectations!!
As soon as I first met Steven Walker, I felt very confident that he would carry out a complete and excellent inspection. I was not disappointed.

Great experience! Excellent service, thorough inspection, clear explanations, and very professional. Highly recommend!
Steven was so helpful, knowledgeable, professional and practical in completing the inspection of a cottage, which was a new type of purchase for me.

I had a great experience with Steve from Walker Home Inspection. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to go over lots of different things with me. He was truly great! Highly recommend
Steven was super efficient, knowledgeable and great to work with. Showed up early took his time and carefully explained every detail to me as I had numerous questions. TO ADD to that after the report I had clarifying questions and he was never to busy to walk me thru the detail and explain the WHY to me. In this day and age when you pay for a service and its considered complete after money is exchanged it was so pleasant and refreshing to have Steven stand behind and in FRONT of his work to follow it thru. I would recommend him 110% and that is no small feat coming from me and my standards. Keep it up Steven integrity and hard work are a dying breed. Sincerely, Teresa

Steve inspected our 1st home in Canada Today. Although the closing is not until next month, I am very excited to put this review.Steven has great experience and tips for saving thousands of dollars.

He invests a lot of time inspecting with you and making sure he has covered all possible aspects, he listens to your questions patiently and is eager to provide solutions.Thank you Steve
Very very thorough. Gets the report back to you very quickly. We paid for it. So apparently you own it . It's yours. Thats what he told me on the phone unless u want to share it. I said no we dont want to share it. It was a verbal. I didn't email it to him so he gave a copy to the realtor who basically can share that with other buyers, so how are we suppose to know that. There is no way of knowing that.
Steven Walker’s home inspection service came highly recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Steven was thorough, informative, friendly, and professional.

After making an offer on a home in Kingston we reached out to Walker Home Inspection for feedback on the property. From the beginning we were highly impressed with how quickly and efficiently Walker Home Inspection dealt with our prospective property. We received a very thorough report on the property which included photos which was very informative as we are not in the city. We highly recommend this company - we appreciate the peace of mind the gave us regarding this entire home purchasing process.
Great job by a trusted professional who was recommended by my realtor. Provided key insights while explaining his findings on site.

Purchasing a home can be very stressful. You never know what you may come across. Steven made us feel at ease with his professionalism and home inspection knowledge. He was transparent and honest about his findings. My husband and I were not able to be there during the inspection and Steven accommodated us. He conducted a zoom meeting between my Husband and I and went through his findings. He was very kind and spent time answering our questions. Steven provided a full report with a legend, photos and notes detailing his findings and also suggestion on how to replace or repair. Made this experience smooth and provided us with the confidence of our new purchase. Steven is a genuine person. Would highly recommend him to others. Thank you Steven

A very good professional well job done.He was punctual, respectful, polite and listened to my concerns. He resolved my doubts. He was also very patient with me. I recommend Steven as your next inspector.Great service.
We used Steven for our home inspection on our first home. As this was our first home, Steven took the time to show us every important detail of his inspection and you can really tell his knowledge in case in his work! His incredibly detailed, thorough and itemized report with pictures for reference made reviewing all aspects our our house very simple and informative.
We used Steven for a pre-listing inspection. He was easy to work with, thorough and respectful of us and the home.After the inspection Steven quickly created an easy-to-read electronic report that was very helpful for us and for prospective buyers. In addition, when we had questions he always responded quickly.I would use Steven again and recommend him to others.
Having Steve do a complete inspection of our home that we have owned for 27 years if the best investment we have ever put towards are home. Steve was very professional, he sure knows his line of business and is easy to talk to. Something we needed as we are going to do some major renovations and we know what we would like to do, but he was abe to explain that some damage has been caused by a slow amount of water going behind walls, something we would never know and the mould needs to be removed before doing any work down there. He is open to all questions which is comforting and never judges you. I would never buy a home without an inspection such as Steve provided us with. It is good to have an outside party look at your home with open eyes, and experience. You simply can not go wrong and we both highly recommend Steve as your inspector. We are so glad we did so, it has been a big help to us to do the repairs in the correct order. Thank you Steve. Carol and Gord
Highly recommend this thorough, and efficient home inspection service that provides insights, with categorized and prioritized categories in an easy to read report. In addition, contact is very easy and quick, highly recommended.
Steven did an amazing job. I saw one of his inspection reports when I viewed a house for sale and was so impressed that I knew he was the inspector I wanted when I finally found the home I bought. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Bought a house he'd inspected, and he was very quick and informative in answering my questions, and a pleasure to deal with.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Steven Walker of Walker Home Inspection for the inspection of our new home in the county, and we couldn't have been more impressed with his exceptional service.Having previously purchased homes only in big cities, we were a bit apprehensive about the process in a country setting. From the moment Steven arrived, he put our worries at ease with his professional demeanor and friendly approach. Steven was incredibly thorough with the inspection, leaving no stone unturned.He meticulously examined every corner of the interior and exterior, as well as all mechanical and electrical systems of the house. Additionally, he thoughtfully assessed the lot and provided valuable insights on its various aspects. Steven's attention to detail was truly impressive; he pointed out all areas of concern and ranked their importance, which helped us prioritize any potential repairs.What made our experience even more enjoyable was Steven's keen eye for functionality. He suggested some minor changes that would make the house even more practical and comfortable for our family, which was an unexpected but delightful bonus.Throughout the inspection, Steven remained patient and informative, encouraging us to ask questions and providing clear and understandable answers. He genuinely cared about our understanding of the property's condition and made sure we were well-informed every step of the way.With the comprehensive report Steven provided us, we felt confident in removing the inspection condition from our offer to purchase. His professionalism, dedication, and expertise truly exceeded our expectations.If you are in need of a home inspection, we highly recommend Steven Walker of Walker Home Inspection. His exceptional service, thoroughness, and valuable insights will undoubtedly give you peace of mind throughout the home-buying process.
Just want to thank Steven for his fast and professional response. We are from out of province and you throughly inspected our new house and gave my husband and myself confidence in our purchase. Buying a new house is always scary but after you reassurance my husband and I were able to relax. Thank you again!
Steven Walker is good at what he does. He accommodated our complicated schedule, answered all questions with clarify, went above and beyond of what's expected from the inspection. His report was done on the same day, it's thorough, with quality images and comments attached. His reporting system is amazing, it's easy to read, it's colour coded, and it has a flexibility of exporting selected parts, so it can send to the interested parties.I can recommend Steven with confidence for any house inspections.
Steven was exactly what we were hoping for in a home inspector (professional, tech savy, skilled). His appointment booking process will show you his availability, which is very helpful when you don't have much time to finalize a house purchase.
Steven was so thorough and helpful, he is the best home inspector I've worked with. He recommended areas of improvement and took the time to show me potential issues with my house. The report he sent was also very detailed and helped me a lot when I needed information for my home. He was also very accommodating and was able to work with me when I had a short timeline.
Steve was excellent. We worked with other inspectors when we bought properties, however none were as thorough as Steve.In our current search for buying a house we saw his report on a property we looked at. When we finally found a house we wanted to put an offer on we asked that he does the inspection.His report is excellent, very well written and with a lot of helpful details.
Steven was fantastic. I have worked with many home inspectors throughout my career, Steven goes above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable, professional and passionate about what he does. Steven is an educator, he will teach you the intricacies of you home and how the systems work.Not only is Steven one of my preferred vendors for clients, he recently did a home inspection for our recent home purchase.If you are looking for a home inspector that knows their stuff hire Steven.
