a home inspector you can trust

His job is to find the truth and ensure his clients have the right information before making the biggest purchase of their life time.

A special note from John

“When purchasing an existing older home it is assumed there will be some problems that need to be addressed. Especially if it is a very old home that is going to be gutted and renovated.“

“But in new home construction we are seeing more cracks in the foundation and even truss heaving where the roof is not attached to the house properly. As your inspector it is my job to find the tell-tale signs and inform you.“

“Your first line of defense is your home inspector. We are the ones that should be familiar with the construction process of building a house and understanding the TARION rules.“

“TARION works in your favour if you follow the rules and fill out the online forms correctly. If you miss any of the reporting periods then TARION will protect the builder and you will not be able to have your defects repaired.“

“Service Departments are only bound to follow the rules and standards created by TARION. If you do not do a proper Pre-Delivery Inspection then the builder does not have to do the repairs you missed for the allotted time frame. An experienced inspector will ensure that all visible problems will be corrected.”

Understanding your needs

As a dedicated home inspector and professional in the construction industry, John M. Simanic wants you and your family protected from the pitfalls and traps of this business.

His skill and knowledge will ensure this as you navigate to the purchase of your next home or investment.

Just a few words from satisfied clients

"Because of John we were able to reduce the purchase price by $15,000.00. He had factored in the estimated repairs for the older home my wife and I purchased. Natasha and I recommend John because he treats the inspection as if he were buying the house. "

"I am a real estate agent based out of Toronto and have referred John to 3 of my clients. He has helped them to make sure the builder fulfills its obligations."

"I purchased an investment property in Fort Erie and John did my Pre-Delivery Inspection. He helped me fill out the on line TARION form so that all my repairs were properly filed."

"My wife and I used John to purchase an older home close to Lake Erie. He pointed out the problems we might face. We did buy our house and we are happy to call it our home."

"Thank you for helping my clients and I look forward to working with you again in the future."

"Thank you for helping with our Pre-Delivery Inspection in Fort Erie."

"Thank you for helping me inspect my new home. We will make sure to refer you to our friends."
