Mark, thanks for doing such an excellent job with the inspection. The report was clear and comprehensive and supported by the walk around. It is always a relief to know that a large asset purchase such as a house has been given a thorough going over by an expert!

Mark was absolutely great ! Buying a house is never an easy feat but we were far better informed after Mark's inspection. Friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. We will certainly reach out for our next house inspection.

Used House Sound Home Inspections on our house a few months back. Wrote a review then and am just following up. My brother is a builder in Australia and was blown away at the detail their report came in. Also had an issue with turning the old oil furnace on while out of province. Mark was so kind as to pop over and give us a hand with the issue a few months after the initial inspection. You don't find business' like this nowadays. Cannot recommend them enough.
