VC HOME INSPECTIONS

My father, Valmont Bérubé started our general contracting company more than 40 years ago. And for over 15 years now we have been leveraging this wealth of knowledge by focusing on providing professional home inspection services to Ottawa and the surrounding areas. I’ve been in the construction business since 1994 and a building inspector since 2005.

As part of our commitment to supporting our Ottawa community, we shared our knowledge through our informative television series on Rogers cable called 2×4. For over 9 years, we provided our audience with great tips, tutorials, manufacturer tours and relevant news to help you improve your home, health and safety.

Our​ ​knowledge​ ​sharing​ ​continued​ ​as​ ​we​ ​provided​ ​carpentry​ ​education​ ​at​ ​La​ ​Cité​ ​collégiale, teaching​ ​men​ ​and​ ​women​ ​on​ ​home​ ​construction​ ​as​ ​they​ ​work​ ​towards​ ​their​ ​carpentry certificates.

Home​ ​safety​ ​is​ ​an​ ​important​ ​topic​ ​for​ ​us.​ ​I​ ​apply​ ​my​ ​knowledge​ ​and​ ​experience​ ​as​ ​a​ ​former volunteer​ ​firefighter​ ​and​ ​fire​ ​code​ ​inspector​ ​for​ ​the​ ​City​ ​of​ ​Clarence-Rockland​ ​to​ ​all​ ​our​ ​home inspections.

My​ ​father​ ​passed​ ​away​ ​in​ ​2013​​ ​​and,​ ​in​ ​his​ ​name,​ ​I​ ​Continue​ ​to​ ​pursue​ ​our​ ​shared​ ​vision​ ​to providing​ ​honest​ ​quality​ ​services​ ​to​ ​our​ ​local​ ​community.

What is a HOME INSPECTION ?

A home inspection is a visual inspection and a general condition survey of the physical and all systems of the house. Are you thinking of buying a house or condominium? It should be properly inspected by an experienced, professional and impartial home inspector.

Why do I need a HOME INSPECTION ?

The​ ​purchase​ ​of​ ​a​ ​home​ ​is​ ​probably​ ​the​ ​largest​ ​single​ ​investment​ ​you​ ​will​ ​ever​ ​make.​ ​You should​ ​learn​ ​as​ ​much​ ​about​ ​the​ ​house​ ​as​ ​possible​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a​ ​clear​ ​and​ ​confident​ ​decision.​ ​A mistake​ ​could​ ​be​ ​very​ ​costly​ ​in​ ​repairs!​ ​Hiring​ ​a​ ​reputable​ ​house​ ​inspector​ ​with​ ​several​ ​years​ ​of experience​ ​and​ ​a​ ​vast​ ​knowledge​ ​in​ ​construction​ ​and​ ​safety​ ​of​ ​your​ ​home​ ​is​ ​key.

What does a HOME INSPECTION include ?

A home inspection includes an on-site written examination of both the interior and exterior of the house. As summary is also included with the report which provides repair and/or replacement requirements. A time frame in which these should be done, as well as, a cost estimate can be included.

Because the inspection is site specific, I encourage you to accompany me so you can let me know of your concerns and needs .By following the home inspector around the house, by observing and asking questions, you will learn about your new home and get some tips on the maintenance in general. This information which will be of great help to you after you’ve moved in.
