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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
