We're new to Canada and new to the way a Canadian house works. Tyrel did a great job walking us through the nuances of the Canadian home. He was very thorough with the inspection and brought a number of issues to our attention that we would never have considered. Thanks for a good job done

We've recently hired Tyrel to inspect our new house, and we so glad we did. Tyrel made a very detailed and careful inspection, from every possible aspect of the property. He then invited us for the final review, which was amazing! He pointed out every detail and advised how to handle each issue. This can be quite overwhelming for the buyers, but everything was explained in a simple and easy to understand language. Many of the findings would be very hard to notice until pointed out by Tylor. The inspection report was also written to the point, and was easy to read and understand... something we could consult at any time later as we live in the house. We've used multiple engineers in the past, but Tyrel is by far the best one we've met. We will be more than happy to use him again.

Tyrel was polite and thorough, but like so many professionals, he spoke at a hundred miles an hour, which made it difficult for me to absorb what he was telling me. Despite the fact that I would be getting a full written report later, I still found it frustrating. My fault for not speaking up and asking him to slow down. I would still recommend his services, though.

I was very happy with Tyrel's inspection of the home that I was considering. He found and pointed out a plethora of potential problems or future annoyances that I certainly would not have noticed. I thought that he was very thorough and he explained his findings in a manner that I could understand while offering suggestions as to the remedy. I would definitely recommend VI Inspections to anyone looking for that service. Good job, Tyrel!

Outstanding. You just don’t see this type of quality and customer service anymore. During my walkthrough Tyrel explained every possible issue with the property and I left the meeting with all the actionable information I needed. Further, the follow up report was submitted quickly and was the most thorough I’ve seen. I’d give 6 stars if I could.

I asked VI Inspections to do an inspection of our roof and advise current condition.

Tyrel did a brilliant job at my house inspection in Port Alberni. He caught some things that I heard a previous house inspector did not catch in the house, which is exactly an effective and thorough inspector should do. He answered all my questions and has been super communicative. Happy to work with you, Tyrel.

Tyrel from VI inspections provided me with inspections on two properties. He is extremely thorough, punctual and professional. He spent several hours going through the home top to bottom. He then did a walk through highlighting all areas of interest, summarised at the end and allowed me to ask questions throughout. He then promptly provided a summary report that was very easy to read and refer back to.I would not hesitate to reach out and use Tyler from VI inspections.

VI Inspections exceeded my expectations of what a Home Inspector would do. He spent a lot of time being very thorough and also spent the time explaining many things to me. After the Inspection, there was not anything that I did not know about the home. I feel that I bought the home with my eyes wide open and very well informed about everything from A to Z. I would highly recommend V.I. Inspections to anyone.

I was very happy with Tyrel’s inspection services of the duplex condominium I am purchasing. The inspection was thorough and Tyrel took all the time I needed to go through the inspection report and to explain, with clarity and patience, all the details about the home, the furnace, heat pump, gas fireplace, motorized awning, lights, fans and so much more. 10 star rating! I am very grateful!Janice Manuel

We contacted 4 different home inspection companies to do a full inspection of our new house. VI Inspections responded quickly and provided a full explanation of the inspection process. VI Inspections showed up on time and did a very thorough inspection of the home. They took the time to fully explain the inspection results, showed us all the pictures and answered all of our questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and it helped relieve a lot of stress. The price was much lower than the price quoted by the other companies. 5 stars for VI Inspections, we will definitely use them for all our future needs.

Tyrel is a perfectionist, and has an eye for detail which is exactly what you want in a home inspector. But knowing what to look for is only half of an inspection. Being able to tell someone what they have fond and why it is important is the other half of a great home inspection/inspector. Ty has the knowledge to identify the defences in a home and then explain it to the buyer so they know exactly what they need to know and why.
