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. Steven was very approachable, explained the inspection process clearly and carried out his work effectively and fully. There is no doubt in my mind that anyone needing a home inspection should contact Steven Walker.

Steven was so helpful, knowledgeable, professional and practical in completing the inspection of a cottage, which was a new type of purchase for me.

Hi report was thorough and so clear and detailed and available that same day!!Very informative and allowed me to make some key decisions about the purchase of the property. Thank you so much!

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

As a first-time homebuyer, I relied heavily on Steven’s knowledge and expertise. He took the time to point out potential issues as we went through the property, answered my questions, and provided an outstandingly detailed home inspection report. Having lived in my home for a few months now, I have referenced Steven’s report numerous times as I prioritize the projects that I want (or need) to take on. Thank you again Steven!

Steven provides an incredible service. His approach is thorough, detailed and went beyond expectations. His reports provide a summary so you can get an overview of the inspection without having to scroll through each and every item. He catalogs each item and provides a detailed breakdown, adding colour pictures and, when necessary, a short video. We heartily recommend using Steven and his service. You will not be disappointed.

Inspection was done in a timely manor and very thorough. Pictures and videos with detailed descriptions were completed for my convenience and understanding. Steve was very pleasant to work with, and answered in detail all our concerns and questions we had. This company also provided a convenient list of other carpentry, electrical, plumbing, etc workers if any further work/advice was needed. I would 100% recommend ‘Walker Home Inspection’ to another, and will use him in any future endeavors.

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.

He answered any questions we had and took time to explain anything that we were not sure about. The report that he provides is detailed and easy to read. We received the report just a day or two after the inspection making this whole process easy and efficient. If you need a home inspection, we highly recommend Steven Walker.Janette and Graeme.

Very talented and knowledgeable. Steven went out of his way to ensure we were informed about all the inner workings of our home. Steven created a very detailed report that allows us to check and review everything that was inspected at any time. Steven was also willing to give us advice on various aspects of the home which may need some changing at a later date. Overall I feel Steven went above and beyond and I am quite satisfied with his service and advice.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

Pre-Listing

Pre-Purchase

A comprehensive assessment of the property’s condition, identifying potential issues and ensuring transparency in the real estate transaction. An essential step that offers peace of mind to the purchaser.

Post-Purchase

If you’ve already purchased your home or business but did not have the opportunity for a quality inspection, now is a good time. Maintenance and repairs are usually much less costly when discovered before things go wrong.
