very thorough and professional
★★★★★
“ Our family is in the process of moving from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. We were not able to be there throughout the house searching process and based allot of our decisions on the information provided by real-estate agents and zoom viewings. We were so fortunate that Phillip inspected the first property we almost purchased for there were allot of issues that we were unaware of and based on his report we were able to cancel the agreement. With very short notice, Phillip was able to accommodate us and inspect a second property. Phillip was very thorough and professional with his inspections. He was very quick at sending us our inspection reports and I love that he provided us with an Action List (which is now my husband's "Honey Do List"). I am very grateful for Phillip for we could have made a very poor financial decision if it wasn't for his inspection. Thank you again Phillip for all your hard work and for protecting our financial interests and our family's future. We appreciate you so much and hope to actually meet you one day. Thank you, The Cornect Family”

best home inspection ever
★★★★★
“ We received the best home inspection ever from Phil at ReHome Inspections. Phil supplied us with a 60 page inspection report and 200+ photos. From being close to 2000km away from the property, the information supplied brought us so much closer.”
- Nico Pienaar
super personable and a real pleasure to work with
★★★★★
“ We hired Phil for 2 home inspections recently. The fact that we were buying sight unseen from across the country was a very challenging process as we could not be there to walk through the homes ourselves. The first house we fell in love with on line and thought was “the one” turned out to be a home that would have been overwhelming to maintain and repair and would have cost us more money and time than we bargained for. The second house, and the one we purchased, uncovered a couple of costly things in need of repair and we were able to amend our offer and reduce the price to cover those costs. Phil’s thorough and detailed reporting including photos as well as his honesty and willingness to answer questions after the inspection prevented us from purchasing a home we would have regretted and gave us the confidence in purchasing the one we did. I would highly recommend Phil. He’s super personable and a real pleasure to work with. Thanks for everything Phil!”

Oh, and with photos, the report was head and shoulders better than ANY I had ever contracted for, before. EXCELLENT! And with photos, the entire report was totally thorough and the best I've ever received (of many)!”

I recommend ReHome Inspections very highly
★★★★★
“ Absolutely excellent service from Phil Schnetzer, the owner of ReHome Inspections. This is my second time using his services. The first time, he saved me from making a big mistake purchasing a property that had a lot of major issue that would have been very expensive to repair. The second time, he identified a serious problem and backed up his recommendations with independent professional reports on the issue, which helped me to negotiate with the Seller to get it fixed at his expense. Phil is very knowledgeable, provides an extremely comprehensive and easy to understand report backed by many photos, along with really useful diagrams on the correct way things should be done. He is easily available for follow-up phone calls and provided recommendations for trustworthy local skilled trades so I was able to get detailed estimates done for my potential purchase of a heritage home, even though I live on the other side of the country. He identified the major issues that need addressing within the the negotiation of my purchase and provided a list of smaller things, with prioroties that can be addressed over time to make sure my new home is in good repair, preventing further problems long term. I learned a lot about home maintenance, problem prevention and the right way to do things as a side benefit of my experience working with ReHome. Phil is calm, friendly, a good communicator, clearly very knowledgeable & experienced and provided a very organized, printable electronic report very quickly--on the same day as the inspection. It was backed by an electronic system that let me list the priority issues to be addressed with the Seller and after purchase. I would would absolutely use ReHome Inspections and Phil Schnetzer's services again and I recommend ReHome Inspections very highly. It's worth every cent of the fee--and more.”

report I received is a masterpiece
★★★★★
“ I am now adding some additional laudatory foliage to the pile Phil must have stashed (laurel leaves).... if they had medals for home inspection Phil would have nothing but gold... I've just had a second house inspection done by Phil (no, not the same house as the first time...), and the report I received is a masterpiece. Everything you need to know is covered succinctly, including things you didn't even know you needed to know... Seriously, you can avoid costly mistakes from omission or insufficient knowledge because Phil has done the work for you and lays it out for you in clear and logical fashion. This is by far the most thorough and comprehensive home inspection I have ever had done (and there have been several, and in different cities...). Not only are you provided with an in-depth report that covers all aspects, but you are also given an extensive vetted list of tradespeople, suppliers, and services that you will definitely make use of, I can guarantee it. And if that weren't enough, there's also a blog/newsletter that contains useful and interesting information and that gets updated regularly. All in all, a terrific service and highly recommended.”

“ They say that the third time is a charm and this was certainly true for home inspection number three that Phil conducted for me. Not only did the findings of the inspection go better than I expected but I met Phil in person for the first time and was able to watch him do his thing firsthand. He is very thorough and explains what he's looking for and why. He offers suggestions for solving any issues he discovers in the moment. He is an expert in his field and he readily shares his knowledge with you. There was one item that was concerning and he prepared me for what I might expect and provided an estimated cost to correct if it was necessary. A few hours after the inspection was completed I received an email from Phil. He had researched this item from the product manual and discovered that it wasn't going to be an issue after all and I was in the clear. He provided the link to the appropriate information in case I needed it as a reference. This was going over and above what he needed to do but he did it anyway. His work ethic is outstanding, his customer service is extraordinary and he is honest. After all was said and done I could feel that he was genuinely happy for me that I had finally found the right home and there was little for me to worry about. Obviously as I have used his services three times I am a satisfied customer. If you need a home inspection done, Phil is the right man for the job. You may be disappointed with some of his findings but you will not be disappointed with the service he will provide to you. Thank you Phil for everything and it was a pleasure to meet you! If anyone ever wants a verbal reference from one of your clients I'd be happy to speak with them.”

Very impressed!
★★★★★
“ Phil’s report is so detailed! The action list and multiple pictures are beyond any inspector’s report I have ever seen. Phil called us personally to discuss the process and get a sense of any concerns we may have seen on our tour of the house so that he may address them in his report, I highly recommend him! Very impressed! Thanks Phil.”

You cannot do better than this guy!!!
★★★★★
“ I've had previous home inspections done but their reports have not been nearly as detailed, knowledgeable, clear, or to the point as Phil's has been. In addition to this Phil's site provides a wealth of information and vetted (!!!) recommendations and on top of all that, he is responsive to questions(no matter how dumb), articulate, and generous in the time and effort he is willing to devote to a client/customer. You cannot do better than this guy!!!”
- John Ruttner
heartily recommend his service
★★★★★
“ Our inspection report was extremely detailed, well organized, and written in a way I could easily understand the issue and what needed to be corrected now as a priority, or could wait to the future. Lots of links to helpful sights were included, and lots of pictures. Phil did a great job for us and we would heartily recommend his service to anyone looking for a home inspection.”

expert advice and excellent customer service
★★★★★
“ Phil has done two home inspections for me over the course of the last six months. He provides a very detailed report coupled with some expert advice and excellent customer service. He is always willing to set aside time to discuss the report and answer all of your questions no matter how many you have. He is extremely knowledgeable. In addition to the thorough report he provides, the ReHome Inspections website is very user friendly and has a multitude of resources available at your fingertips. As I was residing in another province during the inspections unfortunately I was not able to attend and watch Phil in action. However I did have representation during one of them and the report back was all positive! I would highly recommend Phil and the Home Inspection service he provides.”

inspected carefully and thoroughly
★★★★★
“ We engaged ReHome to do a home inspection on a property we wanted to buy. Philipp inspected carefully and thoroughly, explaining his findings as we followed him around asking questions. He arrived well prepared with lighting, camera, short and long ladders, and test meters for electrical function and moisture detection. He was extremely professional in conduct and demeanor despite the excessive effort it took to go through this old property which had been added onto and changed over time. His report included detailed photos and descriptions of defects, as well as explanations of proper repair or replacement. He completed his full report immediately after the inspection on the same day. In addition to the report, he provided an Action Item summary, which we found extremely effective for further discussions to arrive at final terms of purchase. I would certainly hire ReHome again, and highly recommend Philipp's work to anyone buying a home or otherwise needing a thorough home inspection.”

excellent, courteous and thorough service
★★★★★
“ ReHome inspections provide an excellent thorough and courteous service. Phillip patiently explained things as he progressed and was happy to answer all my questions. His action list and comprehensive report was received later the same day. His reports are accompanied with photographs which are extremely useful. He also was able to recommend who in the area could do specific quality work related to his findings. He has a comprehensive web site with a myriad of further information. I highly recommend ReHome inspections to anyone purchasing a home in the Annapolis Royal area.”

above and beyond
★★★★★
“ Phil was recommended to us by our real estate agent as the best person to thoroughly inspect our potential new home. We immediately knew we made the right choice. From first email to first meeting and throughout the whole process Phil was friendly, clear, and completely reliable. He allowed us to be with him throughout the entire inspection. I had no doubts in his ability when I saw how thoroughly he checked each specific area and he answered all my questions and concerns. He even went above and beyond "just" inspecting and actually had ideas on how to fix, upgrade, or improve things to prevent issues later on. I have never worked with another inspector but I cannot imagine that I would ever choose anyone else in the future. I left the inspection feeling like I understood everything and was prepared for what needed to be done, without being scared, confused, or overwhelmed. I cannot say enough about Phil. I have already decided to have him come back after some of our suggested changes are completed because I trust his opinion and skill on my new investment. A truly great inspector with a great personality and work ethic. A joy to work with him!”

Philipp was incredibly thorough, checked all important aspects of the home including the not fun to check things like: the roof, and attic, under deck areas etc. As well as pointed important safety and mechanical considerations which could easily be overlooked during the busy time of purchasing Our home.

Excellent service
★★★★★
“ Phil of ReHome Inspections did a presale inspection report on my 160 year old house in Bear River on Sunday. I am so pleased with the excellent service that he provided including both pre and post the inspection. The process was outlined clearly and the report is very detailed which I appreciate. I did an inspection on the same house when I purchased the house a few years ago and this report AND service is far superior in every way. I have already referred ReHome to other people in the community. Highly recommend the services of ReHome.”

Treated me like one of the family
★★★★★
“ I am so glad I hired Phil Schnetzer to do my home inspection. He was very thorough, informative, and customer friendly. He didn't treat me like a client... He treated me like I was one of the family. There was so much I did not know about when it came to a home inspection. But Phil made what could have been an intimidating experience, into a more enjoyable one. I gained new knowledge about the home. And also have a better idea of things to keep looking for in our home, to keep our stay there as stress free and comfortable as possible. On his business card it says: "surprises are for birthdays". And after having seen him in action, I fully believe he stands by that. He had an informative answer for all my questions, and for someone like me with limited knowledge in home upkeep? That's like having a big weight lifted off my shoulders. He also has a very quick response time when it comes to his report. We received his full report (including pictures), the same day the inspection took place. I highly recommend Phil Schnetzer for anyone who is getting a home inspection and wants to come out of it feeling like they were educated by a friend/family member and not feel overwhelmed about it. I am definitely passing the word around about Phil, and if by chance I am in the market for another home inspection... I know to contact Phil Schnetzer of ReHome Inspections. Thank you so much Phil.”
