My Happy Clients
I am 100% satisfied with the service AND the inspection performed by Mark. He was professional, accommodating and both my boyfriend and I were impressed with how thorough the report was. His summary is a great place to start the to do list and I am going into the sale armed with more information than before the inspection. Without hesitation I would recommend Mark and Apple Home Inspections. Thank you so much Mark!
Juanita Johnston
Mark was a fantastic choice as my home inspector. He is a lot of things: accommodating, professional, thorough, and helpful. He was able to fit me into his schedule on short notice which saved me a lot of grief during a very stressful time. Always available to answer questions he sent me highlights followed by a detailed and clear home inspection report. I now know exactly what I need to do over these next few months to get my new house in tip-top shape. I would definitely recommend Mark to any of my friends or family.

Look no further for a home inspector! After being totally stressed out in trying to find a home in the hot Vancouver Island housing market, we were really nervous about making such a huge decision without having a qualified home inspector help guide us in our decision. Mark exceeded our expectations. He allowed my husband to accompany him throughout the five-hour inspection and explained things as he went along. After we received his detailed and clear report, he answered our questions about the report and provided additional background information. He knows his stuff, is personable and goes far and beyond any inspector we have worked with. There were no excuses about what he couldn’t do. He did everything we asked and more. We highly recommend Mark / Apple Home Inspections and we were thrilled that we bought our home with confidence thanks to Mark. What a relief!
Cynthia and Maurice Lafleche
Mark, Whether it is a first home or a third home, it is always comforting to know that you have done your homework when checking out a potential home in Campbell River. We did just that when he hired you to conduct the home inspection on our new home. Terrific work, thoroughly professional and detailed in such a way as to leave no interpretation as to what was inspected, discovered and recommended. Thanks for the report, the sound advice and above all doing it the right way.
Ron & Sue Flanagan
Prompt and thorough with comprehensive report and excellent communication.
David Sinnett
We really appreciate the job that Mark did inspecting the home we were considering in Victoria. Mark gave us a thorough, unbiased report on the condition of all home components, recommended follow-up with specialists for areas of concern, took the time to explain what he was examining, answered any questions we had, and emphasized that he was available for any follow-up questions and concerns. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a thorough and professional inspection of a home they are considering.
Jeff Lukovich
The inspection was done very thoroughly and the pictures taken are excellent. This report could be put straight into the hands of a contractor to indicate work that needed to be done, or provide a guide to the do-it-yourselfer. As this inspection was part of a house sale, the comprehensive report allowed us to identify areas of normal wear-and-tear to be monitored, and other items that were not up to standard that required work. Quick, efficient, and easy to deal with.
Neil Parker
Mark does an amazing job. Not only does he document his observations accurately, he also explains the situation to you clearly in pictures and text. A home inspection is a valuable tool prior to buying a home. I highly recommend Apple Home Inspections!
Pat Zellinsky
I had the pleasure twice of using Mark and Apple Home Inspections. His work is prompt, reliable and the reports are accurate and well reflect the home he has inspected. Thanks to his professionalism, he has saved us from making a poor investment with his precise report. It has been a pleasure to have his expertise. I would highly recommend him for any home inspections for my friends and family and of course anyone purchasing a home. Thank you Mark....
Jill Comeau
Mark was great, very informative and thorough. We would recommend him to anyone, it gives you piece of mind when making a major life changing decision.
Adam and Rae Raby
Mark's inspection was thorough and professionally carried out. The report was succinct. Prospective owner's should attend the inspection to enhance the benefits of the inspection. His on-site comments and observations were knowledgeable and helpful in determining the potential severity of the issues raised.
John E.
Fantastic job on the home inspection! The report was extremely helpful and in depth 🙂 It is very clear that you know your stuff when it comes to homes 🙂 Even all the little things! Much appreciated, you did a great job and I will recommend you to anyone I know buying a home or condo! 🙂
Alicia Allen
I highly recommend Apple Home Inspections. Mark's attention to detail is out matched in the industry, and his use of infrared technology is, in my opinion, a minimum standard for home inspections. If you are considering a home inspector and the do not use that technology, think again, and then choose Apple!
Kirk Hammond
We were worried that an inspector might not be worth the money, but you were worth every penny. You did a very through job and explained everything as we went through and around the house. We have already recommended you to a friend who will be buying a house in the fall, and will definitely recommend you to anyone and everyone else.
Jeff Schering
Thank you so much Mark for your professionalism, knowledge when you came to inspect our house. I am trying to prioritize some of the recommendations that you have suggested. Before winter I think first is the gutters. If you have time, in your opinion what would be priorities? And what do you think the overall condition of the home is? I know you are a busy man so if you don't have time that is fine. Again Thank You Stacy Wilson P.S. When I try to download all the pics at once I get a error.
Stacy Wilson

Rhonda Bock & Glen Lowton
I have been very pleased with both inspections that you have done for me. Your in depth reports and attention to detail was very impressive. I can't thank you enough for helping me to see the flaws of each home. This enabled me to determine which one to back out of and which one to purchase. Sincerely! Cathie Matthews

Jana Ziman
Mark did an excellent job on our home inspection. He was extremely thorough and took the time to explain not only problems but also how they should be rectified as well as general maintenance issues. It is also clear that Mark is independent from the realtor community - a critical attribute in a home inspector! We highly recommend his services to anyone considering a home inspection.

Mark was recommended to us by a friend and he did not disappoint. I was able to tag along during the inspection and can say that Mark is very thorough, knowledgable and professional. The inspection report we received was very detailed and included background information related to some of the systems we discussed on site. He goes the extra mile to be sure. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for a qualified home inspector on Vancouver Island.

Jonathan
We hired Mark to inspect our potential house in Port Alberni. On the day of the inspection there was a 6 inch snow layer on the roof and he could only have a limited look at the roof. He immediately offered to inspect the roof at a later stage. The home inspection was very thorough and he spend 4 1/2 hours in the house explaining the things he noted. Although the house did not have a single serious issue, his report helped us to asses the total costs of what needed to corrected before we bought it and allowed us to get a good price for the house. The report was outstanding and he later inspected the roof with the same thoroughness. His price was at the same or similar level of many other inspectors and we feel that we got a great service.
Peter Mieras
Very Efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, easy to talk to.
I will hire Mark again
Lynn
We recently had Mark conduct a home inspection on a house we may purchase. Mark was out promptly and on time. He conducted a very thorough inspection and went over every detail with us and our realtor. I am very pleased with his work and he took around 300 pictures of every tiny thing he saw. Very good work and a very pleasant person to deal with I would Definitely recommend Mark and will use him on my next home purchase or sale of my existing home to have a pre-inspection for the home buyer.
