See What People Are Saying About VI Inspections
Tyrel went well above expectations in both his level of customer service and the diligence in the work he did. Right from the beginning, he was responsive in his communications and accommodated us at every turn to ensure the inspection could be done within our extremely tight schedule.

We found Tyrel personable, professional and extremely detailed. He went over and above answering our various multitude of questions regarding the house. We would 100% recommend using him for the purchase of your next home.
We are extremely happy with the pre-home inspection we received with VI Inspections. Tyrel was very thorough with his inspection and was looking at things we never would have thought of. After his inspection, he walked around the house with us showing the highlights and discussing his professional recommendations. We received a fully detailed report later that day. My wife and I appreciated how courteous he was in answering all our questions and making sure we understood everything that we needed to know before making the biggest purchase of our lifetimes!
My wife and I were thoroughly impressed by Tyrel's detailed analysis and inspection report. Complete with photos and descriptions of every problem presented. We are so thankful to have spent the money on the inspection with VI Inspections!
This is the third time we have hired VI Inspections for a pre-purchase home inspection. Tyrel is thorough, efficient and honest. I would not hesitate to call on VI Inspections again...and I could not recommend Tyrel enough.
If you need a trusted home inspector look no further. I needed a home inspection done on 2 potential homes I was looking at. Both times Tyrel had to squeeze me in last minute.
He was extremly diligent, professional, friendly and made me feel 100% comfortable with the report he gave.
It was detailed and written for everyone one to understand. There are quality photos taken of everything he finds so that you can clearly see what he is discussing. (He was not the first inspector I have worked with but he will be the inspector I use for all future work. He is extremly detailed with his investigation.)
If you are looking for an inspector that knows what they are doing and how to properly write a report, Tyler is amazing.

3 times I had inspectors to inspect the houses prior-purchase. Tyrel stands out because he has done the work thoroughly and very detailed. When we had a walk through the house with Tyrel, he presented in a professional manner and explained every issue found during the inspection very well, this along with his inspection report being concise and easy to understand.
I would like to continue working with him if we need any inspections in the future.

Tyrel was extremely responsive via email. He provided an excellent summary of his inspection during our walk through. Additionally, Tyrel answered more questions after providing his inspection report based on new information we were able to provide. Great service!
Tyrel was recommended by our realtor and I’m so glad he was. He was incredibly thorough and the inspection report was incredibly detailed while remaining easy to understand. Tyrel was also extra helpful and communicated very well while working with us remotely from the mainland.
We were extremely pleased with the home inspection provided by VI Inspections. Tyrel was so knowledgeable and informative. He spent 2 and a half hours doing our inspection. After he was finished, we walked all around the home exterior and interior where he pointed out and explained the issues that were found. I found Tyrel to be extremely thorough and that evening we received a very detailed report by email with pictures and recommendations. Tyrel was very kind and patient while answering our many questions and his price was very reasonable. We would highly recommed his services. Thank you Tyrel.
My wife and I have bought and sold 5 homes, all of which got inspections. Tyrel did 1 of the most thorough jobs I have ever seen!
And took extra time to walk through the house and show us everything he saw.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an inspector.

Tyrel did a great job with my inspection. His response time and scheduling availability made it easy to accomplish it within very tight timelines. The pricing was pretty decent, if slightly less than at least one other local company. Tyrel was willing to explain my follow up questions thoroughly, so I highly recommend this inspector.

Very thorough. Feedback while he was doing the inspection and provided a detailed report with good pictures. He was neutral during his inspection simply showing me the facts. Great to work with and would definitely recommend him for your home inspection.
This guy was the bomb. Super thorough, easy to chat with, and gave loads of time for the walk through. Fantastic
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 very thorough and provided a detailed walk through and report. He was able to accommodate us on short notice and answered all of our questions. We would highly recommend him for your home inspection needs.
Very efficient. He came very quickly when he knew we needed the inspection right away. Very thorough in his work. He provided detailed explanations and photos of the work that needed to be done. Very friendly and easy to deal with. I highly recommend him

Tyrel was very thorough and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and went over his findings of the house he inspected. His insight helped us in making an informed decision about purchasing the house. We’ll definitely use Tyrel 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.
Second time we have used VI Inspection and Tyrel is excellent to work with he was both responsive and timely. Reports are easy to read and provided great information. Highly recommend this service.
Very thorough and he spent the time to show us everything so that we were able to understand.

I would use him on any future inspections without hesitation.
Tyrel did a brilliant job at my house inspection in Port Alberni.

As a real estate agent, I've had several clients use VI Inspections to do their home inspections - my clients are always impressed. VI Inspections does a very comprehensive inspection, and take great care to explain everything to their clients. The reports are always complete, clear and easy to understand. The price of the service is in keeping with market prices, and the value is tremendous. I would recommend VI Inspections anytime!
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!

Tyrell was very easy to work with. He communicated everything clearly, did a thorough inspection and had easy to read digital documents for me afterwards. Highly recommend
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.
Very thorough and knowledgeable. He identified an issue with my furnace and clearly explained what needed to be done to fix it and the best way to go about it. Highly recommend.
Clear, concise and efficient! He explained everything very well and was respectful of the entire process. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Tyrel was fantastic to work with, and we’ll definitely be recommending him to our friends in the future. Tyrel was thorough and detailed, his report was clear, included photos, and was very helpful in aiding our decision to move forward. I feel confident removing subjects knowing the ins and outs of our new home. Big thanks! 5 stars!
