Tailored Home Inspections
Okanagan, BC
Home Inspection Services
I am a Licensed Home Inspector and Member of the Home Inspection Association of BC, backed by a Bachelor of Commerce degree. With more than 15 years in residential construction project management and estimating, I understand how homes perform long after they’re built. My inspections reflect practical construction knowledge, not surface-level observations.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the home inspection take?
A typical inspection should take 2 to 3 hours to complete. This can vary, given the current condition and size of the home, the accessibility of mechanical systems, and so on. As a courtesy to sellers, we recommend that they be informed of the timeframe in a pre-purchase home inspection situation.
What do you examine?
We are unable to accept returns on certain items. These will be carefully marked before purchase.
What is included in the fee?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
Can I follow along?
Definitely. We encourage you to attend. The inspection is a valuable learning experience for most homebuyers.
Do you offer a warranty on the house?
A home inspection is a professional opinion based on less-than-complete information. It's a little like getting a check-up from your doctor. It improves your odds of good health but there is no guarantee or warranty. Some problems can only be discovered by living in a house; they cannot be discovered during a home inspection. For example, some shower stalls leak when people use the shower but don't leak when you simply turn on the shower. Some roofs and basements only leak when specific weather conditions exist. Some problems will only be discovered when carpets are lifted, furniture is moved or finishes are removed. As such, we cannot and do not offer a warranty on the house. Home warranty programs are available from others. We would be happy to help you contact a warranty company.
What our customers say
“Worth every penny.” We’ve dealt with inspectors before, but Colin was on a totally different level. His background in construction and estimating really showed, he didn’t just point out issues, he explained what they meant, how serious they were, and what they could realistically cost down the road. The inspection felt thorough, calm, and incredibly professional. If you’re buying in the Okanagan, this is who you want on your side.
“Felt like having a contractor, project manager, and inspector all in one.” Colin’s experience really shines. He walked us through the home like someone who’s actually built and managed projects, not just checked boxes. He explained things clearly, answered every question, and never made us feel rushed. We left the inspection feeling informed and confident instead of overwhelmed.
“Clear, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable.” What stood out most was Colin’s ability to break things down in a way that actually made sense. His background in project management and estimating added huge value, he could tell us what was minor, what needed attention, and how to prioritize. The report was detailed, well-organized, and easy to understand. Highly recommend Tailored Home Inspections.
