Service areas
Where we inspect
Eight cities, eight different mixes of housing. The age of the buildings and the ground they sit on decide what we look at most closely.
- Vancouver
- Character houses, Vancouver Specials, 1990s wood-frame condos and downtown towers. Four different jobs under one name.
- Burnaby
- Hills, post-war bungalows, 1970s split-levels and a lot of strata buildings, from low-rise walk-ups to towers.
- Richmond
- Flat, low and close to the water table. Slabs, crawl spaces, drainage and settlement matter more here than anywhere else we work.
- North Vancouver
- Mountain slopes, creeks and a lot of mid-century post-and-beam houses. Water moves downhill here, and so does the ground.
- West Vancouver
- Big houses on steep, rocky lots, close to salt water and creeks. Retaining walls, decks and flat roofs take most of the attention.
- Surrey
- Newer subdivisions, big townhouse complexes and a lot of basement suites. Mostly 1990s and later, so warranty and Poly-B questions come up.
- Coquitlam
- A French-Canadian mill town, 1970s suburbs, new construction on Burke Mountain and condos around the SkyTrain.
- New Westminster
- The oldest city in the region, with Victorian and Edwardian houses on a steep hill above the river, and newer towers by the water.
Outside this list
We will consider properties just beyond these cities, such as Delta, Port Moody, Maple Ridge or Langley. A travel charge may apply, and it is quoted before you book. Phone with the address and the subject date.
We do not publish a street address because we work at your property. The contact page has the phone number, hours and booking form.
Have a subject date coming up?
Send us the address, the subject date and the approximate age of the building. That is enough for us to tell you straight away whether the date can work.
