In Ontario, new homes are covered by the Tarion™ Home Warranty Program, which allows for construction defects in new homes to be repaired at no further cost to you. Many first-time buyers often ask: what is the Tarion™ warranty and why do I need it? In essence, the Tarion™ warranty provides new home warranty protection to nearly every new home in Ontario. Tarion™ handles the investigation of warranty claims, resolves disputes between homeowners and builders, and offers deposit and delayed closing protection for new home buyers, while also taking action against illegal builders.
H&S Home Inspections offers professional home inspection services that include clear and concise pre-delivery reports identifying issues that require attention. We provide a detailed list of items that are incomplete, damaged, missing, inaccessible, or not operating properly, along with photos and references for clarity. Our descriptions of locations are designed to make it easy for you to reference our reports.
The Pre-Delivery Inspection is your first chance to report defects in your new home to your builder. Did you know that after taking possession, any scratches and dents may no longer be covered? They are only covered if it can be proven that the builder caused them. You have the right to bring a home inspector with you to the Pre-Delivery Inspection, so be sure to take advantage of all the coverage available to you. We will compare your new home to modern construction standards, identifying conditions and defects that are likely to be warranted by the Tarion New Home Warranty, following the Construction Inspection Protocol and the Tarion Construction Performance Guidelines. We’re on your side!

H&S Home Inspections offers comprehensive home inspection services, including a Thermal Imaging inspection that utilizes infrared thermography to identify issues like plumbing leaks within a home and moisture intrusion from the exterior. We also conduct scans to detect electrical hotspots and other energy issues that you should be aware of. Contact us today! What is a Thermal Imaging Inspection? A Thermal Imaging Inspection is a powerful, non-destructive, non-invasive, and safe method for diagnosing, monitoring, and providing immediate visual documentation of problem areas in your home, such as walls, ceilings, plumbing, and electrical panels. Thermal imaging delivers critical information about extremely small but significant temperature differences across various areas. These variations appear on our camera's view screen as 'cold' or 'hot' spots, revealing hidden problems that often elude visual or manual detection. Certified Technicians A high-resolution thermal imaging device is not a simple 'point and shoot' camera. The Canadian government has established certification requirements for Infrared thermographers in its National Master Specification, which cannot be fulfilled through an online, short-term webinar. Our experts have undergone the necessary training to provide the most detailed building defect reporting available. It's important to note that since thermal signatures and infrared imaging necessitate a temperature differential of 10°C or 18°F, we may sometimes decline a service request. Whether for a pre-listing inspection or a routine check, call H&S Home Inspections to schedule your Thermal Imaging Inspection today and ensure your home is covered under the Tarion warranty!

It is normal for small issues to arise in the home. However, small issues that are left unnoticed and unaddressed can quickly turn into large issues that are expensive to repair. This can be avoided by scheduling a home maintenance inspection. H&S Home Inspections offers exceptional home inspection services that will thoroughly inspect your home for the small repairs you can make now to save yourself time and money later.
Giving You Peace of Mind
Maintaining a home can be stressful. The most important thing to know as a homeowner is that your home requires care and regular maintenance. As time goes on, parts of your house will wear out, break down, deteriorate, leak, or simply stop working. Even the most vigilant homeowner can, from time to time, miss minor issues or forget about performing routine home repairs and seasonal maintenance. This is called “deferred maintenance” and can eventually lead to much larger and more expensive problems.
We will evaluate all major systems of the home, including plumbing, heating, electrical, HVAC, structural, and roofing. You can rest easy, knowing we will help you prevent serious, long-term, and costly damage from minor issues that should be addressed now.
Helping You Rest Easy
Robust Action Plans
Throughout our home maintenance inspections, we will provide valuable perspective and guidance that will help you create and prioritize three action lists: 1) Required Items; 2) Deferred Items; & 3) Future Maintenance Items. As the names imply, Required Items are issues that demand your immediate attention, Deferred Items are problems that need to be addressed in the near future, and Future Maintenance Items are noteworthy points that aren’t urgent, but that you should keep an eye on during future investments. Additionally, if you are preparing to list your home, consider a pre-listing inspection to identify any concerns upfront.
We help you keep on top of things
