Testimonials
Very thorough and detailed inspection. He finds every detail - from the big things (that saved me a very expensive mistake) to the little things that wouldn't make or break a deal but are nice to know to fix at your leisure. I would highly recommend Gil and would definitely use his service again.
Having read a couple other reviews I'd like to add that the expensive mistake he saved me from was rotten floor joists...he ducked down into a tiny crawl space in a perfectly renovated and beautiful home to find the one (and catastrophic) fault in the house. He also identified the potential for water damage to the foundation before we even entered the house, noting details about the property that could lead to problems. When we went through a second home, he noted a few things that would help me keep the property well cared for and prevent issues.

After much research we decided to go with Gil for our home inspection over the Mike Holmes inspector offered through Costco and we couldn't be happier.
He's a soft spoken, well mannered, charismatic guy that makes you feel you've known him for years. He was not only very professional but his vast wealth of knowledge from his many years of experience really made the whole thing very informative and extremely helpful. His insights really put us at ease and he went over and beyond to make sure he covered everything and much more. He even inspected the well and water replenishment capacity for us, something that's not even in the scope of what we were paying for.
He took his time and answered all our questions and addressed all our concerns, and left us feeling reassured we had all the information we needed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants quality over the pointless bells and whistles offered by the competitors.

Overall our experience with Gil was outstanding. He arrived for the home inspection early in order to prepare himself and his equipment. His thoroughness and attention to detail was very appreciative, he went out of his way to ensure that the information he was giving us was accurate. His overall knowledge of homes and home maintenance made it easy to understand what will be required of us in the future to ensure that the house is well taken care of. He inspected every inch of every floor, inside and outside of the home making sure that there wouldn't be any surprises once we moved in.
The detailed home inspection report was excellent, he included pictures and very accurate information of the entire inspection, making it easy to understand. Gil was very professional and due to the fact that he knew we had a very short time frame he worked around our schedule and finished the report in the same day.
Our experience with Gil was excellent and could not have been any better. We look forward to recommending our friends and family to Gil and Electrospec when the time comes.
Thanks again, 10/10

"Gil was very detailed, thorough and honest when completing two recent home inspections for my son and daughter's first home purchase. Gil took the worry out of wondering if there was something 'hidden'.
Thank you so much Gil."

"Gil came by to look at a property we were planning on purchasing. His knowledge of the way houses work, his ability to know what to look for, his patience in explaining the complexities of the property, and foremost, his honesty and level of knowledge was astounding. I really was impressed with his skill and professionalism and straight up attitude towards the inspection. With his advice, we made the correct decision. I would not hesitate to recommend Gil and Electrospec to any prospective home buyers, and would strongly suggest you get Gil in before making any decisions."

"My clients have used Gil many times for their home inspections. He does a great job and works thoroughly and quickly. He makes sure that you know your home inside and out before you buy it. I would recommend Gil to anyone looking for a quality home inspection!"

"I would highly recommend, Electrospec Home Inspection Services, they recently did a most comprehensive inspection on a property built in the late 1800's for me. Gil Strachan went beyond the call of duty and even found a secret room. Because of his incredible attention to detail and his superior knowledge he was able to foresee any probable troubles, regarding the property inspected. Electrospec Home Inspection Services thoroughly inspected all building structures and mechanical systems. The time was well-spent on the inspection, making me aware of the possible cost of many repairs that were required on the property. Electrospec provided services that went beyond my expectations."
