Overall good experience from booking the inspection to after the completion of the inspection. Andrew, the inspector, was very nice, respectful, professional, thorough and helpful. He was good at explaining things, and even made himself available after the inspection for any related questions. I am glad I chose Mose.

Our inspector from Mose, Michael Kallaur was excellent. He inspected 2 homes for us and one of them was a bit of a tricky situation. He went above and beyond to make sure the home was properly inspected, even going back a second time (asap) as a certain area was impassable the first time. Micheal made us feel like we could trust him now and in the future. 10/10 recommend.

My husband and I purchased our first home and Carol came highly recommended as an inspector and we couldn’t be happier with her services! She was prompt and responsive over email and found availability to inspect our new home in just a few days. She spent a lot of time explaining every detail and made us aware of all issues in a professional and friendly manner. Highly recommended!

As a first time home-buyer all the steps in the process are new to me. Gerry patiently explained to me what he was checking and his preliminary results as he went. Not only that he gave tips & tricks on certain maintenance tasks I would have had to figure out completely on my own. Top notch service!

I had the chance to work with Renaud Lévesque for the inspection of my condo in Montreal. He was extremely professional, kind, and helpful. He went above and beyond to show me how to maintain certain appliances and took the time to explain what his observations meant. I really appreciated it and highly recommend him. Thank you Renaud.
