I've had a great experience with Adam. He was professional and also very thorough. Learned a lot about the house because of him. He spent over 5 hours going thru inspection on every part of the house and explaining them to me in details. His reports are also very well organized. I would ask for his service for any residential inspection

Why West Vancouver Homeowners Choose Next Inspections
West Vancouver runs from Horseshoe Bay, Whytecliff and Gleneagles along the water to Ambleside and Dundarave, then up through the British Properties, Chartwell, Sentinel Hill, Cypress and Caulfeild.
The houses are often on a slope, and the ones near the water also take salt air and wind. The North Shore page describes the rain and steep lots shared with North Vancouver. This page is the West Vancouver detail: waterfront and near-water houses, larger hillside homes, and the condos and townhomes in Ambleside and Dundarave.
There is no mileage charge to come to West Vancouver. The City and District of North Vancouver have their own page.
Local Knowledge
Top 5 Things We Watch for in West Vancouver Homes
West Vancouver inspections are about slope, rain and the water. These are the five things we look at most closely here. Shared North Shore conditions are also on the North Shore page.
Steep lots and retaining walls
Homes in the British Properties, Chartwell, Sentinel Hill, Cypress and Whitby Estates are built into the slope. We check retaining walls for leaning and cracks, and look at drainage and moisture on the uphill side of the house.
Salt air and wind near the water
Houses in Ambleside, Dundarave, Whytecliff, Eagle Harbour and Horseshoe Bay face the inlet. We look at roof coverings, flashing, metal rails, decks and siding for wear from wind and salt air.
Rain, moss and roofs
The same North Shore rain that soaks North Vancouver lands here. We check roofs and gutters, then the attic for stains, compacted insulation and fans or dryer ducts that dump moist air into the attic.
Older homes and buried oil tanks
A lot of Ambleside, Sentinel Hill, Altamont and Caulfeild housing dates from the 1950s to the 1970s, when oil heat was common. We look for fill and vent pipes and other signs of a buried tank, and recommend a tank sweep when we see them.

Most West Vancouver condos and townhomes are in Ambleside and Dundarave, including buildings from the leaky-condo years. We look for moisture around windows, decks and cladding, and suggest reviewing the strata minutes and depreciation report.
