I was totally satisfied with Carl Barstead's inspection. He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable, and did a great job of explaining all details. I will definitely recommend Housemaster at every opportunity.

"Thanks for forwarding the report. I was very impressed with your
service and I found it very handy to view the report over the website!
Boy how things have changed!!! I have a quick question for you. I
decided not to buy the house I had inspected but may in the very near
future buy another place.
Just wondering if I can utilize the SHAW certificate? "

"Carl, thankyou for your service today. I've not only viewed your report online, but this format has enabled me to send the electrical report to a potential electrician via the net for evaluation and to my brother on SaltSpring for viewing--this very night--fantastic. So, excellent work. Carl and very thorough.
I won't hesitate to use you again should I ever recover from this project and buy into another--but rest assured if I do? What ever it is it will never be as curious and unknown as this one!! From here? I think I'll 'go uptown'. !!! I'll tell Judith in Victoria with Barnes and Co. that she should continue to recommend your company and so will I. And I'll email you the after pictures of Maxey. "

Hallo Carl,

First and foremost I want to let you know how impressed I was with your knowledge of what to look
for in the house and termite inspection but also your professional conduct.

Therefore I was glad that Austin did recommend you and Housemaster as one firm
which does home inspections. The very way you as an organization present yourself with
a folder full of info and a cd or dvd on top of that, which I shall put into my laptop when I finish
this e-mail.


Once more I like to thank you for all you have done and you were a great help in
us looking for a new place to live. When we buy another house I will have you again but
hopefully you will find nothing wrong as I cannot keep having inspections over and over but
I have recommended you to our daughter she with her husband are also looking for a house.

With kind regards,

Hendrik Hofstra

"As a first time homebuyer, I was unsure of many aspects of a new home purchase;
ie. what to look for in building structure, quality (what will need to be fixed). I had examined the building prior to the housemaster home inspection and thought I knew what I was up against. After their thorough exam, I discovered much more than my inexperienced eye could see. The detailed inspection showed me all aspects of what my future investment may be. A very professional inspection helped me to better evaluate my offer on the structure and, for the cost of the inspection, probably will save me thousands on my investment.
