Eric inspected a property that I am buying and I am impressed with the depth of the technical knowledge he has about property inspection.

The inspection report he produced is detailed with full of recommendations and solutions. He is super friendly and willing to help. I recommend Eric/Parent Inspection as your property inspector to get an exceptional service.

Eric is a very professional home inspector. When he arrive at the unit, he immediately pointed out the issue of the house and explained to me with patience.

On February 8/24 we had a home inspection done that was very poorly performed. I could not attend because I lived in Kingston and my wife had the car for work. ( 1 ) We were told by Eric he tried a electrical plug in every room and all was well. All was not well because the bathroom doesn't even have a plug. ( 2 ) The temperature of the hot water coming out of the taps is 150 degrees f . This could have scalded a person. ( 3 ) The furnace filter was completely plugged. The cavity the furnace is in was completely covethered with lint and dust. I had to take the byfold door off to get the filter out. Then I moved the door back to get the filter out and chahge it. ( 4 ) We were told that under the mobile home couldn't be checked because of the snow. We'll the entrance for under the home is in the 3 sided carport where was no snow. ( 5 ) There was no working smoke detectors. The 1st night we stayed the smoke detector was saying fire evacuate ( 6 ) the second smoke detector had no battery. ( 7 ) There were no GFI PLUGS inside or outside. ( 8 ) The bathroom sink was plugged. ( 9 ) The kitchen sink tap was leaking on the back. You could see there was extra caulking put there to stop the water from running under the counter top. ( 10 ) The dryer vent was plugged. (11 ) Some of the windows wouldn't close after opening because because one of the arms kept coming off the pin. ( 12 ) I should get our $600.00 back if not more. Y

Eric is an incredible inspector. He really provided a great amount of detail and explanation during the entirety of the inspection. Eric was able to provide me with the confidence to go forward with a commercial lease agreement after his visit. 10/10 recommend this company.

Eric is the only home inspector I've dealt with and will be the only home inspector I deal with if I ever sell my current home. He helped me avoid an absolute money pit that I had my heart set on, and, although it was disappointing, I am very grateful that he caught the foundation issues and the vermiculite in the attic before I shelled out 400,000 for a house that would have been a disaster. I am happy to say he inspected the house I ended up buying and I have had no surprises. This is not a side business for Eric, this is his profession, and his experience and education make him one of the best in the industry.

Reply from Parent Inspections Inc. 2024.02.13

Wow! Thanks Ken! You totally made my day (and it's been a rough one so it's even more appreciated). Thank you so much and please call me if you ever need any additional help.

The inspection process was very informative and detailed. The report is comprehensive at 45 pages! As a first time home buyer this inspection was invaluable.

Eric was very responsive when I reached out. The communication was efficient throughout the entire process. He showed up on time for the inspection and took his time to conduct a thorough inspection and discuss any issues or questions we had. His report was very detailed and extensive which explains why it takes some time to produce. It was still delivered on time. Eric makes it clear that he is happy to answers questions “post inspection” which is huge as there is usually a lot of information to digest during the inspection.

Thank you very much Eric, I'm so happy to hear that you were satisfied with the service you received. A donation of $25 will be made to the Robert Warner Fund of the Canadian Police Association. Thank you for your great review, and for your service. 😊

Thorough inspection and detailed report.
We were extremely pleased with the quality and thoroughness of a recent home inspection conducted by Eric Parent. Eric took the time to go through our new home from top to bottom, explaining everything he observed in intricate detail. Eric explained his observations very clearly, including why he was noting them, the impact and severity, possible options to remedy issues and added his recommendations. This was repeated throughout the entire inspection process that he spent over 3 hours to carry out, and resulted in an amazingly detailed report that is over 40 pages with pictures and schematics detailing exactly what was observed and recommended solutions. The report also included a quick checklist that is helpful for insurance purposes. I would recommend Parent Inspections Inc. to any potential buyer. We had the pleasure of working with Eric's father Marc when we worked with this company over 16 years ago, and clearly Eric has continued the tradition of providing home inspections of the highest quality. An excellent family run business. Can't say enough about how happy we were with this service.

Wow! I honestly don't know what to say, I've read and re-read your review and I just can't find the words to express how much I appreciate your amazing review! From the bottom of my heart I deeply appreciate your feedback, and I am more than thrilled to know that you were satisfied with my work and the service I provided. I also read your review to Marc, and I think you managed to make his entire week, as with mine as well. He thanks you for the kind words, and wishes you the best. Please don't hesitate to contact me anytime in the future if there's ever anything else I can do for you. I'm always there for my clients, and I'm always more than happy to provide any additional advice, guidance, or support you may need. I'm always in the area if ever you want me to stop by to examine something or provide advice for an upcoming renovation, and there's never any charge for helping my clients. I thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for the kind message you left me, and I wish you the best in your new home.

Eric is responsive, has an eye for detail and explains everything very well. As a first time home buyer, I had many anxieties and uncertainties. I don't think I could have come across a better person to my mind at ease about everything. His report gave me the confidence to purchase my first home.

Reply from Parent Inspections Inc. 2023.08.12

Thank you so much Vahid, I'm so happy to hear that you found my service helpful and that my work is appreciated. Please don't ever hesitate to contact me anytime if you ever need advice or if there's ever anything I can do for you. I'm always there for my clients. I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a nice review, nothing makes me happier than hearing that a client is happy with the service I provided them. You made my weekend, thank you so much!

Eric did a home inspection for me a few years ago, and I was amazed at how knowledgeable he was and how much information he gave me compared to other home inspections I had in the past. My husband and I are now buying a cottage and Eric gave us some very valuable advice at no charge, and then gave us a nice discount on our full inspection. Once again we were completely satisfied with his service, and his report explained to us how to properly repair the problem with the foundation. This was very helpful because it contradicted a very high estimate from a local foundation contractor. We had an engineer compare Eric's recommendation with the original quote from the contractor, and the engineer agreed completely with Eric's recommendation. We had a different contractor perform Eric's recommended repair, and it was less than a fifth of the cost of the first contractor's estimate. If you need a home inspection, hire Eric Parent. Trust me, you can't go wrong.

Reply from Parent Inspections Inc. 2023.05.27

Hi Nancy, thank you for the great feedback! I'm thrilled that I was able to save you so much money on that foundation repair. Like I said during the inspection, it's clear that the footing had shifted due to a geotechnical issue, most likely LEDA compaction, and the visible clues told me it was an acute condition and has long since stabilized, so major underpinning would be unnecessary since the footing clearly has not shifted since the original soil compaction event, and several years have passed since. I'm happy the structural engineer agreed with my assessment and you went with my advice to perform a pressure injection of structural epoxy instead of a full footing underpinning. Great to hear the good news from you, you made my weekend! Please keep in touch and contact me anytime if you ever need more free advice, I'm always there for my clients!

Eric conducted a first-rate home inspection, and I guarantee you'll want him for yours.

Eric possesses strong technical knowledge and many years of quality experience that shine through during the inspection and report.

During the home inspection, he freely spoke about the items he was inspecting and addressed any questions I had - he was easy to talk with, and you'll get clear explanations.

What's impressive about the report is that it details the state of the home and its shortcomings and, most importantly, what that meant for me! With this information in hand, it enabled me to make a confident decision about moving forward with the home.

The price aligns with market standards, but I felt I was getting a better service than I was paying for.

If you want to be confident that your prospective home is assessed correctly, call Eric - I know I will be the next time I need his services.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We definitely put a lot of work into our reports, several hours at least, but we hope that it's a benefit to our clients since they can learn not just what the issues are, but why they occurred, how they occurred, and how to properly correct them. It's a great pleasure to hear that the work is appreciated, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please feel free to contact me anytime in the future if you ever need additional support, advice, or a follow-up visit. There's never any charge for additional support, and I'm always more than happy to help.

All my best,
Eric Parent

Eric conducted a home inspection for me, and he is, without a doubt, the one you want to perform your home inspection. During the inspection, he demonstrated a breadth and depth to his knowledge that he can put into practical, understandable terms. He's open and easy to speak with; you'll be left confident that a true professional conducted your inspection. This professionalism reflects in the report Eric generates - it's top-notch. It provides excellent insight into all items covered in his inspection; I understand each item's state, what's impacting its integrity, and what that means for me. As a prospective home buyer, I felt confident about the state of the home - I knew what I was getting into bed with, so to speak. Eric will be the one and only name I recommend for the services he offers, and I will be booking him when the time comes again!
