Certified, professional and thorough home inspections in the greater Annapolis Valley / County, NS. Make a confident, informed and fearless purchase by hiring a trusted inspector that is dedicated to his profession. Serving Digby, Annapolis, Kings County and beyond.
Hiring the right home inspection company is critical; a reputable inspector is one of your best layers of protection. With over 25 years of building, renovating and maintaining houses in the Annapolis Valley, I know what works and what will fail over time. I've been inspecting for 10+ years now and have logged over 1500 inspections – this experience matters. I take a holistic approach to inspections; looking at the home as a whole system while understanding its individual components are intimately interconnected.
As a Certified Professional Inspector I am held to a high standard and adhere to comprehensive standards of practice and code of ethics. ReHome Inspections is utterly devoted to integrity, honesty, objectivity and courtesy. My obligation rests solely with you and to impartially represent the best interests of the home itself. I work for you and with you, nobody else.
Walk and talk with me as I meticulously inspect the property from top to bottom and inside out; all house systems and hundreds of components are inspected – too many to list here (but I still tried at the bottom of this page). Protecting you from costly surprises is my driving force.
Training from the most revered educators and an ongoing commitment to continued learning keeps me abreast with the home inspection industry, inspection tools, technology, and evolving building practices. Homes are complicated and the learning never stops for a good home inspector; I strive to gain credible knowledge and insight through whatever means are available.
Your home is as important as my own.
It’s a professional evaluation of the current condition of a home’s major components. It is a mostly visual and non-invasive inspection of readily accessible areas in order to identify those components that are at (or near to) their end of life, are unsafe or show other signs of deficiency.
A home inspection is not intended to evaluate design considerations, cosmetic state, code violations and concealed conditions. It is not to be considered as a warranty or insurance policy, nor does it take the place of a professionally administered energy audit or environmental assessment.
It is a prudent and inexpensive investment to avoid a costly oversight. In comparison to the price of the home it is a minuscule expenditure to assist you in understanding exactly what condition one of the biggest purchases of your life is in. A home inspection can quickly pay for itself by helping you to credibly negotiate for repairs. I routinely discover unknown/hidden issues that save my clients thousands off their original purchase offer.
The major house components observed are: roof, exterior, lot grading, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, insulation, interior, and vapour barriers. I walk on roofs, get dirty in crawlspaces and inspect everything in between (with the exception of concealed items and things that aren’t built into the structure, such as furniture and free-standing appliances).
No obsolete paper checklists. My reports are rigorous, descriptive, and media-rich. A comprehensive look that’s easy on the eyes and heavy on the data.
Navigate the structured report with ease. Find what matters quickly. Includes an actionable ‘Repair List’ for the seller. Take a look!

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.” — Red Adair
I was extremely impressed with Phil's inspection of a house under contract. The report was extremely detailed and contained photographs of damage and needed repairs. I would highly recommend his services to anyone and very grateful for his report.
Very thorough and helpful. Phil's inspection set our minds at ease about the overall condition of the house, and helped us organize our priorities.”
Phil did a very thorough job of the pre-purchase inspection of the home I am buying. His report was very detailed and informative. I highly recommend him.”
Buying my first home in today's market sure is a stressful event, and we had Phil do the house inspection. He did a very comprehensive report and was kind and personable during the whole process. He gives a complete report with photos and an action list for things that need doing. Very happy with the service, highly recommended.”
