Testimonials

Thank you Glenn, for offering the services that you do.

I also work in the new residential construction industry and it's wonderful that Glenn is available to advocate for home owners.

The importance of understanding modern construction and how to get the most from Builders and Warranty programs cannot be overstated.I encourage those needing help to trust Glenn and his team where it counts the most, your home !

Very best regards,

Hi Glenn:

Thanks for your report and your recommendations on other professionals.  I very much value and respect your opinion.  I would definitely reach out to them all.

As the detail-oriented person that I am, I appreciate your detailed report & expertise more than you may know.

Is it okay to talk with you and ask you a few questions about the report ?  Just for my peace-of-mind. What day and time best works for you?

Again thank you for your time.  I've learned a lot from you today.

Thank you for your Professional Inspection /Condition-Check of my Suite, done with
care, courtesy, skill and generous professional expertise - explaining your process each
step of the way.
It makes me smile as a client, being able to see and observe you work, as it mirrors how
I also work, to know how good clients feel, when we both work.

I let you know prior to your inspection that I enjoy a live-work environment to design,
draw and build architectural scale models, it is busy.

You moved freely through my Suite, easily as have trades people and 2 fridge-delivery
movers. Your positive professional attitude, confidence, experience, pride and skill in
your work restored my faith in Home Inspectors.

Hi Glenn,
Thank you for all this. Laura and I really appreciated meeting you and we are happy to have some peace of mind in regards to our concerns after your Condition-Check, though our plans to begin the process of updates and renovations may be delayed at the moment as we might be expecting a visit from the stork.

We are grateful for your expertise & knowledge shared and will reach out again should we have any questions.

Thanks again,

Hi Glenn:
Thought you might be interested in the outcome of our claim with the C.R.T., against our Strata. I would say we probably won the claim by comparison, although not everything. Your detailed Report was given the most weight, though, which we are very appreciative!

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the detailed report; I appreciate your in-depth inspection at the Coquitlam house, yesterday. At least we know, now, what we are really getting ourselves into 🙂

Best regards,

I was in a pickle to make a big decision, of either replacing my failing water heater, or going tankless. I wish I could phone my dad for his advice, but he has passed. So, I asked myself, who else do I know that could call for some words of wisdom? Glenn Duxbury comes immediately to mind. Glenn provided wise, sage advice from his vast knowledge & experience. I am glad I called him; now I know how to proceed.

Thank you, Glenn

Glenn:

Thank you very much for this. It was a pleasure working with you. We appreciate you helping us through this exciting home-buying process.

We will certainly give you a ring when we buy our next property. Until then, be well and stay safe!

Best regards,

First-off, amazing work on the surface inspection Report for our legal battle; quite thorough.

Perfect Glenn – on the edits to the initial report Draft !!!

You’re doing a great job, thus far, so stay healthy and looking forward to your excellent work on the rest of this work, as we progress through, to fight back against this bully Contractor, going forward.

Glenn - of Duxbury & Associates is outstanding at what he does.
We just had a home inspection done by him two days ago and he was thorough, and very professional.
We were referred to him by my parents, when Glenn did a home inspection for them - back in 2006...14 YEARS AGO!
That is the amount of experience and knowledge that gave us that extra peace-of-mind knowing, for sure, that we would be given an exceptional home inspection. 
He also gave us more understanding of the home we purchased, which was wonderful!
We will surely recommend him to anyone we know, without hesitation.

Regards,

Thank you for all your work on this recent round of move-outs, Glenn. We really appreciate your expertise and consistency, at our housing Co-Op. 

Peace 

Glenn came to us in times of great need as the deadline on our one-year warranty for our newly built home was fast approaching.
Glenn handled the inspection very thoroughly and was pleasant to deal with throughout. He answered our questions in a competent and well-thought manner. It was comforting to know we could rely on Glenn's knowledge and expertise. We strongly recommend him to be on your side for any home inspection and related issues.

Hi Glenn,

Thank you very much for all your help.  The inspection process was really useful to us, to get a good understanding of the condition of the property and also a good idea on what sort of maintenance and upgrades will be helpful to keep our new home in good condition.

Thanks again,

~Adam and Anthe

Hi Glenn

Happy to offer this Testimonial for you:

I would not hesitate to recommend Duxbury Inspections.  Glenn was friendly, reliable and available on short notice.  His inspection was comprehensive without being alarmist.  I could purchase my home with confidence and peace of mind, after Glenn Duxbury’s thorough inspection.

Thank you again !

-Robyn

Hi, Glenn:

Thanks to you for all your help & input.

I have re-read the Form B the Realtor sent. It sure pays to read the fine print. Many more red flags for this building !!

The management company had called a "State of Emergency" regarding those long-overdue repairs. They could not get insurance renewal until some repairs are being done. It appears they have ignored repairs and maintenance for some time. They will go ahead with what needs to be done for insurance purposes, but not a lot of other work that is in that Report you reviewed for us (recommended by the Engineer). Good call Glenn, that place is a Money Pit !!

We will look elsewhere. Thanks again,

Thanks Glenn!! Here is the attached client feed-back Survey.

We did buy the place there, in Vancouver, officially on Jan. 11, 2019 and are now moved in and are loving life.

You were on-time, respectful and courteous, knowledgeable, certainly worth what we paid and we would definitely not only recommend you to family /friends, but also use you again & again.

Thanks very much for your services, they were very much appreciated.

Thank you so much, Glenn

I've decided to go ahead with the purchase.  The Seller has agreed to fix some of those major items you had identified on this 16 year-old House.  Thank you very much for all your help !

~Tri

Thank you so much Glenn!

And both Brandon and I were impressed within 2 minutes of Glenn being there, for the walk-through on my new Condo and will definitely be looking to use his services again when Brandon's own apartment completes next year…

 

We write to advise that the noted litigation matter has new been settled and you are no longer required to appear at the trial, originally scheduled for August 30-31, 2018.

Thank you very much for your assistance throughout, once again.  I look forward to retaining your services again in the future, as they were instrumental in bringing this matter to an early resolution.

Yours very truly,

BTM LAWYERS LLP
~Wes Berger

Hi:

We did not purchase that property (on the excellent advice of Glenn).

Our address is still the same, meanwhile. We are going to rent temporarily, instead of buying another place, right away.

If we need an excellent Inspector in the future or know someone who does, we will certainly use Glenn, again.

Cheers

Hi Glenn:

Thanks for all your work and the results.  I think you helped us reach high-quality levels on this cedar roof-restoration project.  I think we are done with roofing inspections for now; if some new issues show up we will contact you.

We will keep your name on our short list and contact you again whenever needs arise for other projects.

Regards,

~Dragan

Good morning Glenn:

Thank you for the very thorough job of that house, yesterday. We really appreciate your knowledge and recommendations.

Hi Glenn,

I am mortified to say that it just dawned on me that I never sent any response when you sent over your expert report on this personal injury case for our Client, before Christmas. Please accept my sincere apologies, as well as my Thanks – your expert report is excellent and it will be extremely helpful.

I will follow up with a more formal request, but I was hoping you could make yourself available to be a witness at the trial of this matter, later this year.

Once again, thank you so much for your assistance. I trust all is well with you and hopefully we’ll talk soon.

Best regards,

Glenn Duxbury is very experienced and helpful when you have questions about real estate. The best part though is his care and passion that he displays. He truly loves helping a new home buyer feel at ease when purchasing a first home, or helping them save money. If you need the best Home Inspector, contact Glenn !

Duxbury & Associates is the most honest, reliable and hardworking building inspection and consulting company I have ever worked with. Glenn’s attention to detail is incredible – he isn’t afraid to go where other Inspectors won’t (like in a small crawlspace). I recently hired Glenn for an inspection on my townhouse. The entire experience was great and I received a detailed report to share with buyers. If you are looking for a Property Inspector, Glenn is your guy! Thanks again, Glenn !

"Excellent service and attention to detail. Would highly recommend; very professional and helpful…"

Duxbury & Associates home (condo) inspection for us was extremely thorough, looking for and noting things I hadn't even thought of.

Glenn was patient as he explained or showed me a few concerns. He presented the facts, not only during the inspection, but with also his detailed report. He inspected the Condo itself as well as the building as a whole - for any big upcoming projects we may need to prepare for. We were able to make an informed decision about the biggest purchase of our lives, confidently. Glenn was courteous, professional and thorough. I would recommend Duxbury & Associates to my friends and family in a heartbeat. We now can't wait to move into our new home !

If you are looking for an expert in all aspects of Building Inspections, don't look any further, as Glenn Duxbury & Associates – Building Inspection and Consulting Ltd. is what you are looking for. Experienced & knowledgeable; you will be happy to have contacted Glenn Duxbury’s Team.

Hi Glenn:

Thanks again for doing such a thorough inspection on my “future home” yesterday !

I have decided to go ahead and purchase that townhouse, after all. Thanks again for your fantastic inspection. I did manage to get the price down - due to your recommendations concerning repairs needed. I would really appreciate the contacts you mentioned, as well.

Much appreciated !

Many thanks,

Glenn:

My client and I appreciate your swift response to our legal issue and your professionalism. Your report helped us assess the evidence and prepare for trial and assisted in achieving a settlement. Thank you again for your hard work and attention-to-detail.

Regards,

Your input, previously, helped us make a good decision to not purchase that 1st flr. Condo, after all.

Thank you as always; a great service you provide!

Regards,

Hello Glenn,

Thank you again for the great service you provided us. It's really given us the confidence we needed to buy this house.

As discussed, I'm hoping you can forward me the contact info for that general contractor you mentioned who could do the bathroom repair work needed, please.

Thank you!

Duxbury & Associates is a fantastic Home & Property Inspection and Consulting Company!

Glenn is professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. He is always looking out for the best interests of his clients. I have been very happy with his services over the years. He always walks you through the highlights of his inspection and explains all the details very thoroughly.

If you have any questions, Glenn is keen to provide you with the answers. I strongly recommend Glenn and Duxbury & Associates to my family and friends.

Hi Glenn,

Thank you for the very thorough inspection today.  I will certainly recommend you next time I hear of somebody planning to buy.

Take care and have a great weekend,

Thanks very much, Glenn, for doing this Emergency response review on that Unit and your Report in Langley on such short notice for us, last week !

Hi Glenn,

Thank you so much for your time and the detailed feedback on that Condo, this AM.

Here is the Depreciation Report for your review /reference, if you don’t mind...


Warm regards,

Hi Glenn,

Thanks again for all the awesome work today, on that Condo.

Very much appreciate all your expertise, insight and recommendations.

Thanks also for that Painter reference !

Cheers,

Hi Glenn,

John said it was a real pleasure to meet you and to get to know you today. Thank you for such a thorough inspection service. We will certainly pass the word out to our friends, neighbours and co-workers about your expertise.

We have come to trust you and would trust your recommendations, as well. You sure know the industry well and we respect you for that.

Once again thank you very much for your great service today.

Warm regards,

By the way, the Warranty company accepted all the claims documented in your detailed report on the deficiency items with our new home (except the lack of outlets and wrong placement of switches in the basement suite, which are relatively minor).

Thank you very much, again & we will definitely recommend you to others.

We have had the opportunity to have the services of Glenn Duxbury from Duxbury and Associates on 3 occasions, now and have been impressed and extremely satisfied with the services we have received. We intend to use Glenn for any further home inspection we need in the future.

The first occasion was when we wanted to buy a house and Glenn's report and honest discussion helped us to walk away from the house - even though we were keen to buy this home.

The second instance was when we wanted to buy a 3 year-old house and again Glenn's report and honest discussion helped us to see some of the defects which we were able to ask the owner to correct.

The third occasion was when we asked Glenn to come with us for subject-removal after the inspection. Once again we found Glenn's knowledge and discussion with us and the builder helped us to move forward to buy this new home in near-perfect condition (defect-free).

We would highly recommend Glenn Duxbury's company & services to anyone who wants an honest and correct home inspection report from a Building Inspector who will work diligently for you.

Glenn did a home inspection for me a few years ago (several years after I bought my current home).   I was very pleased with his most enthusiastic, professional & can-do attitude... he took time to answer all my questions on Inspection day & many times afterwards... in fact in my case, as many times as needed & with a continuing great attitude!

I believe he is a professional you can trust !   Glenn really cares about you & your family... it's not all about getting paid with him... he REALLY CARES !

I highly recommend Glenn Duxbury for your 1^st or next Home Inspection.

Thank you Glenn, for your help today. It made a huge difference in our decision- making and because of your very detailed report, we've have already been able to negotiate on price and demands before the sale is final.

In other words, you gave us a better picture of what we've really would be getting ourselves into. Thank you again and I will be needing your help again soon, so keep in touch, my friend.

Very good advice; Thank you for your good counsel today, Glenn, I have some good information to get me started on condo ownership.

You are worth every penny and more than you charge…

Thank you.  We indeed purchased that home. The inspection related to and indicated many safety issues - confirmed during recent renovations.

Glenn was very helpful in pointing out serious issues we have since attended to…

You are amazing, as always, Glenn !!!

We are considering making an offer on this address & wondering if you see any red flags that you think you might warn us about ?

Of course if our offer is accepted, it will be conditional to your very critical inspection, once again.

Thank you so much,

A testimonial so good it had to be played on a piano!

I cannot say Thank You enough to Duxbury and Associates.  Glenn had saved me and my partner from buying a money pit back in 2013.  He has also helped us purchase a condo with "good bones".  He is professional, generous and was willing to take the time to answer all and any question I had about his methods.  We will continue to hire him for any home and building inspection jobs and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. View the video testimonial!

Thank you Glenn, for the amended deficiency report.  We feel much safer with it in case the builder does just try to make an issue…

We have sent your contact details to 2 people so far, including a Realtor we know and another friend who is looking to purchase a home in our area.

Kindest regards,

Thank you Glenn, just sent e-transfer, to complete our transaction.

You inspection was very professional, thorough and has empowered me to make the right decision for myself. I don't think I will ever look at a Condo parking garage the same way again.

Thank you!

Hi Glenn,

Do you remember we did the inspection together in Vancouver in August ? We finally didn't proceed with purchasing that house. Thanks again very much for your great and professional service.

I am going to ask for your help again for another home inspection…

Thanks so much for the Safety-Check Inspection on our home. It was very helpful and it was very professionally done. You uncovered dangerous items that I never even noticed or thought about. I'll definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

I never seem to win anything so I'm so excited that I won this prize-draw for your Home Safety-Check! Thanks again.

And thanks for the recommendations for the electrician and the general contractor also!

Hi Glenn,

Depreciation report is attached if you need it...

Thanks again for the inspection today. I was very impressed.

Hi Glenn,

I wanted to say thank you for all the time and effort you put into your inspection for us. It has helped me see everything much clearer as to the current state of the property we’re thinking of buying.

Glenn is a great inspector, professional and polite. Definitely treats his clients like family! Our real estate agent was even impressed at how professional and easy to work with he was.

He was able to catch things early like the beginning of mold in the attic, which would definitely save us huge money in the long haul because we are able to address it early on.

Very detail oriented (like checking fire detectors and appliances). Walks you through the highlights of his inspection and explains very well. Was very approachable and could ask him any questions at all.

He was timely and was early for the inspection to look around the strata complex. Was available at short notice, too. Glad to have found him and would recommend him to my friends and family.

Hi Glenn,

Thank you very much for your inspection today, we were very impressed with your attention to detail.

We will look over your report later tonight and will let you know if we have any questions.

I have known Glenn for about 1 year. During that time I have seen him speak at events and met with him to discuss his services. I have also talked with realtors who have worked with him and know of him. So, Glenn is known in the industry for his expertise and professionalism. I have only heard positive things about him.

In an industry with so many options for home inspectors, I am very happy that I know Glenn which saves me time in looking for a home inspector if my clients ask for my recommendations. I can suggest they contact Glenn, with no reservations at all.

Glenn is my Building Envelope Consultant. I hired him after researching and talking with other BECs because he seemed very professional and knowledgeable on the phone as well as having the most reasonable rates.

After the first site visit to our new home being built, I was glad I hired Glenn because he was indeed very professional and knowledgeable. He found a number of detail defects in the way my Siding Contractor installed the Hardie Board and even suggested ways to correct them. Glenn took his time with every inspection, answered all my questions precisely and always made me feel that I received more than my money's worth.

What really impressed me was Glenn's total attention to all details, big and small. He climbed up to the roof to check the roofer's workmanship. He checked the progress of the Hardie siding /window installation thoroughly, every time and even used a telescope to check the siding contractor's workmanship all the way to the top, from my walkout basement (three stories). I am confident that my home's building envelope is the best possible. Thanks Glenn, you are a credit to your profession.

It was a very pleasant experience working with Glenn.He conducted himself very professionally and walked us through the process step by step.The inspection itself was way more thorough than I expected, enough to get a reduced price on our house. I would recommend Glenn to anyone of my friends or family.

We’ve used Glenn’s company and quality services over the years since our first home purchase. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after us. We’ve saved many thousands for just a small investment each time. We recommend Duxbury & Associates highly and that is why we keep coming back!

As a first time home buyer, it was great experience working with Glenn. My impression of him is that he is punctual, patient, hard working, nothing goes past him and he really enjoys doing his job. I would highly recommend Glenn to anyone.

Very professional, organized and great attention to all details. Learned a lot today with Glenn regarding building structure and condos. Very satisfied and highly recommended...

Rate this company: 5/5

Thank you so much for the prompt and detailed inspection report.

My father and I were very impressed by your professionalism and the information provided.

I want to thank Glenn for a very thorough inspection of our brand new townhome. He went through our home step by step and showed us things we would never have considered. As first time buyers, we now feel extremely comfortable with our purchase. Thanks again Glenn for a happy experience.

Your attention to detail and bravery in going in that awful crawl space is admirable!

I recently had Glenn Duxbury from Duxbury & Associates do a pre-purchase inspection of a Town Home I wanted to buy. I was delighted with the friendly customer service during our conversations to set up an appointment. I was impressed with the quality of his work.

Through the inspection, he was able to identify a variety of issues that I was thankful to know about. The fact I was invited and encouraged to be present during the inspection was the icing on the cake for me. It is much easier to understand some of the investigative results when you are right there. I would highly recommend Glenn Duxbury and his company.

Our strata contracted Glenn Duxbury & Associates to prepare the required Depreciation Report for our building. Glenn and his associate did a very thorough investigation and review of all systems (interior and exterior) paying special attention to detail and provided an analyses for future concerns. They were very professional in the conduct of their review.

After initial review of the Report, all owners were especially appreciative of the fact that Glenn was able to personally meet with us to present and explain the highlights of his report with an emphasis on areas that need immediate attention and offered strategic planning scenarios for our future.

Thanks again for the great job and hope to see you for our report renewal in 3 years.

If you are buying or selling a home I would highly recommend Glenn Duxbury! He is highly ‎professional, punctual, friendly and he really goes the extra mile. Thanks so much Glenn! 😀

They repaired all the deficiencies you found, except a drywall nail-pop which will be repaired before my completion date & move-in. I will contact you again before my 1st warranty expires.

Thank you again for the very thorough report. Have a good day!

Best wishes,

Thank you Glenn for recently conducting our home inspection.

I recommend Glenn and his team 100%, especially if you are thinking of purchasing a new home for the first time.

As first homebuyers, we were very nervous, embarking on the largest financial decision & commitment of our lives, not to mention how much of a stressful process it can be.

The content and professionalism of the inspection, not only gave us peace of mind, but Glenn also discovered a gas leak (which was promptly dealt with thanks to the inspection). The Seller had the leak repaired and we are now eagerly anticipating moving into our first home.

Glenn certainly made a stressful time easier to deal with and now armed with the information from your inspection, we have confidence that our decision to purchase this home is the right one.

Thanks Glenn, we'll certainly recommend your services.

Farah and I remember how we stuck around during your last inspection of our current home and asked you a bunch of questions. Your walk-through and explanations made it a very educating and fun experience, Glenn.

Thanks so much & we look forward to learning lots more at our next purchase !

We have known Glenn for many years now. Glenn has done an inspection on our home and identified some hidden deficiencies. Although easily fixed, they would have led to expensive repairs if overlooked. Glenn is truly an expert in Home, Commercial and Strata Inspections. Thank you Glenn for sharing your expertise with us and we look forward to referring you and using you whenever possible.

Thanks for the advice, Glenn. I'll make sure to follow it.
After careful consideration, we've decided not to pursue the house after all. It would be too much work for me to take on…
Thanks again for your excellent inspection and advice.

Thank you so much for your help Glenn!

You were definitely very thorough. We will definitely refer you in the future to anyone we know who is buying!

Cheers

Thanks for such a thorough Report !

Thanks so much for all your help, Glenn, too - it nice to have someone involved who only has our best interests in mind!

Thanks again for your professionalism and thoroughness there, yesterday !

We really appreciated your insights and comments.

I have some good friends – currently buying /looking at purchasing a home and I will be forwarding your name and contact info onto them for an Inspection…

Thanks again,

This is Ed who used to be your Mentee when I was working on my CHI certification; thanks again for being my Mentor and all the support !

Thank you for your reply...it was very helpful. My gut feeling is ... I just don't trust this contractor.

I remain a "fish out of water" - struggling to survive this difficult situation...

I hope your day went well & you also got to enjoy some of this wonderful weather...SUNSHINE !

Many Thanks for your continued interest, support & caring, Glenn.

I really appreciate this valuable assistance and guidance !

I would like to express my gratitude for being an excellent mentor. I have learned a great deal from you, Glenn.

Once again, it has been a pleasure working with you. I am sure our paths will cross again.

Best regards,

Thank you again for your thoroughness and all of the great teaching points on our Inspection yesterday – I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was wondering if you could forward the contact info. for a trustworthy general contractor, plumber and /or electrician ?

Many thanks, again.

Hi Glenn,

Not sure if you remember me but you helped us to inspect a townhouse about 3 years ago and thankfully, with your guidance, we did not buy that Unit due to all the problems you spotted within just 20 minutes.

We found you trustworthy, very honest and we value your opinions.

Thank you, Glenn!

Glenn has been my number 1 home inspector from day 1. The reason why? Glenn isn't afraid to say "No" to a home. I know this may sound odd from a realtor, but I've had home inspectors try to buy my business by telling me that they'll always convince someone to say yes, no matter the condition of the home.

Glenn has displayed unparalleled integrity and taken great care, with every client I have sent his way.

I wouldn't hesitate to retain his services for your next home inspection, or even a pre-listing consultation!

Thank you for the learning experience !

We have decided not to go ahead with it, after all...

We will surely recommend you to our friends.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for all your help, Glenn - it nice to have someone involved who only has our best interests in mind!

Glenn's professional and thorough inspection on a recent property enabled me to make an informed decision on my purchase. He was friendly, knowledgeable and objective in his report - providing details and facts without undue speculation. He took the time to go over the report in detail, answering a number of questions that I had. I appreciated his candour as well as his good humour!

I would definitely recommend Glenn and should a future need arise, I will use his services again.

PS - I bought that and negotiated a further $25K reduction based on all the issues you brought to light…

Kind regards,

Thanks for the advice, Glenn. I'll make sure to follow it.

After careful consideration, we've decided not to pursue the house after all. It would be too much work for me to take on…

Thanks again for your excellent inspection and advice.

Thank you again for coming out on such short notice, Glenn.

Rob, my friend that recommended you was right, you are very, very thorough, which is great!

It's been a pleasure working with you. I am glad to have found a place that I feel confident is well built and maintained. As promised, here is a written endorsement you can use on your website:

I would highly recommend Glenn. He is everything you want in a home inspector: thorough, detail-oriented and very professional.

Thank you so much for your detailed work and advice today on that Richmond home. We really appreciate it. You saved us tens of Thousands on that other house last week...

Best Regards

I wanted to thank you for your thorough inspection of the house last week; you certainly were worth your weight in gold. I will certainly pass your name along to anyone that may be needing a really good inspection and will give you a call if I need your services on another property.

All the best

Glenn is the home inspector who we have retained on two occasions – most recently for our inspection of the Fort Langley home and previously, when we renovated our New Westminster home and had BIG issues with the work of that contractor. On both occasions, Glenn has conducted a very thorough inspection, providing us with comprehensive and valuable reports. In fact, the report from the New West. renovation was used in legal proceedings with the contractor and proved to be a valuable resource.

We value Glenn’s professional and detailed approach to inspections – he doesn’t miss a thing! We also appreciate the time he takes to review and explain the inspection findings. I highly recommend Glenn Duxbury & Associates-Building Inspection and Consulting for any home inspections you may require.

I'm writing to thank you for a fantastic job you did for us on Sunday. Your showing up a few minutes before the appointment time demonstrated your devotion to the project at hand. In the downpour, you quickly pointed us a few actions needed for home improvement. One can easily see that you are experienced in this field and you have a keen observation. You also have the talent of explaining complex matters using simple terms and analogies. You put me at ease to learn from you because I feel I can ask all kinds of questions without feeling embarrassed. Did I mention you are also humorous and pleasant to work with us (even though you pointed out quite a few less-than-desirable problems in the home) !

Thank you again for the thorough inspection and report! Would you please pass along the contractor info we’ll need ? You have our trust for the recommendations.

We were really impressed with the thorough house inspection Glenn did for us recently on a property. We asked a lot of questions and he explained things very clearly. Based on his findings, we decided not to go ahead with the purchase - and consider the inspection fee money very well-spent for all the information and education we received. Thanks Glenn!

We'll be calling you soon for another inspection 🙂

After having such a bad experience with a previous home inspection company, I wasn't expecting much better this time around, either. I found Glenn Duxbury & Associates through an Internet search engine. Glenn showed up at the stated time & completed a thorough inspection of our Surrey townhouse. It was a very comforting experience seeing a true professional at work. He took his time & did not rush through any parts of the inspection. Moreover, he took over 3 & 1/2 hours to complete our town home inspection, unlike the 30 mins. the previous company did. I asked a lot of questions & he was patient in answering all of them. He paid attention to all the small details, as well & not just the major ones. I would definitely use his services again & would recommend him to my family & friends.

Thank you again for your services, Glenn & take care…

We would definitely recommend you to family and friends. Why ? - Because Glenn Duxbury & Associates are just plain excellent: extremely knowledgeable, so thorough in their inspections, reliable and nice guys, too. They seem to really care about their job and their clients and realize a person's search for a home is important to them, too...

I am so impressed with your high standards, it will be a pleasure to recommend you wherever I can, as I feel you are one of the most professional and honest businessmen I have come across in a very long time…

THANK YOU - We were on the verge of purchasing that _____________ home, when you came to our rescue.

You made it easy to walk away and you saved the day. We repeat - "Thank You, Glenn! We will be happy to give others your phone number."

I have found Glenn Duxbury & Associates- Building Inspection to demonstrate a distinctly sound working knowledge of building infrastructures and systems.

I had Glenn Duxbury inspect my apartment prior to purchasing. I found him to be extremely thorough in his Inspection and professional in his demeanor. I was very impressed with his knowledge I would certainly recommend him to others going through the home-buying process.

Thank you very much for your recent inspection of our house.

You identified a number of issues and your suggestions for remediation were most helpful (we) especially appreciated the extra time you took in explaining the details – you clearly have much experience in this field.

Glenn, many thanks to you and Peter for the prompt attention to this deficiency issue. I will definitely pursue this with the builder, now that I have an accurate assessment of the problem…

I will not hesitate to refer people your way if they require an Inspection.

Thanks for your attention-to-detail and extensive time on our Inspection and your help in explaining the Report.

They came down $______, eventually!

We will take possession @ month-end…

Thanks once again; it’s so nice to have someone to trust!

My family and I are just settling into our new house now…

Just dropping a line to thank you so very much for your thorough inspection.

I can’t thank you enough!!! Since your visit yesterday, we contacted the company that Anway bought the Hardi Plank from. We have since found out that we actually don't have "Hardi Plank", they actually used a different product. I’m not saying its an "inferior" product, just we didn't know. The company is supposed to be sending out a representative tomorrow. Once we hear from them, we will go from there.

I have already told my girlfriend, who is doing extensive renovations, about you. I almost think it would be worth it for people to budget in a few hours of your time through different stages of reno's and building - just to have someone protecting their interests. Its obvious many contractors are not doing that.

Thanks again.

I hired Glenn for a home inspection this past year and he was outstanding to say the least. He showed up on time, was extremely thorough and very detailed in his explanations to me. I highly recommend Glenn for any of your home inspection needs. He is worth every dollar and then some.

Thanks, Glenn!

Top qualities: Expert , On Time , High Integrity

Thanks for all you work. It really made things easy for us. While we know any building will need some repairs, it's nice to have a clear understanding of what needs to be done and by when. Plus, I think it gives us some great leverage when dealing with the sellers on price.

Thanks again, Glenn!

Thank you for the expertise you brought to bear in the recent inspection you performed for my son's pre-purchase of a condo. I know he was very impressed with the detail and thoroughness of the inspection. Any questions I've posed such as "Do the appliances all work" have all been answered with "Yes - they were checked out and passed”.

I appreciate your professional inspection and I know Adrian and Chaline are much more secure in the knowledge they're making a sound investment in their purchase.

We were introduced to Glenn Duxbury by an industry expert in 2004. Since then, we have utilized Glenn’s home inspection expertise on several occasions both pre- and post-purchase of our residences. Each time, Glenn’s company has provided the same high level of service: Professional, courteous, very thorough and accurate. His reports go above and beyond a simple description of ‘what is wrong’. Glenn’s reports are multi-paged on what is good and what needs work, along with recommendations on how to fix it.

If you are planning to buy a property (house, apartment, condo, etc.), consider calling Glenn Duxbury; it’s worth every dollar…

As you recall, you did a home inspection for us on the above property on Sat, Sep 22nd. We were very pleased with your thoroughness and professionalism. We would not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends /family should they need the services of a really good home inspector. Your report was very helpful in determining what needed to done on the house...

Regards,

Thank you so much... It was a very enlightening experience going through the process of inspecting a property. It surely equipped me and my wife with more information and facts to arrive at a sound decision. I'll be happy to recommend you to anyone I know who will be buying a piece of property. Piece of mind is certainly something you can't put a monetary value on.

Thanks for your good work on the home inspection. We made a counter-offer to factor some of the more immediate repairs, and needless to say, the other Realtor was not very happy at all. My Realtor, however, feels that we will end up getting some sort of reduction in the price. I'll keep you posted…

Dear Glenn

Thank you for your assistance. As a single, first time home buyer with a sizeable financial outlay before me and little experience to draw on, my anxiety level was elevated to say the least. This was greatly reduced by your customer relation skills, accommodation with scheduling and time you made available.

Your experience and knowledge became increasingly evident as the unit and building inspection proceeded on June 6th. Your attention to detail with explanations and answers to my questions made this apparent. The information gathered independently identified a number of items in the condo that needed attention, which I had overlooked in my preceding personal inspection of the premises. Repairs are in progress which have helped me avoid unnecessary expense. I should add that the satisfaction of being in a reliable and informed position has greatly enhanced my confidence in my ability to move forward with my decisions.

My experience has been so positive and I have no hesitation at all if you wish to pass on my recommendation for your services. Again, your help has been so very much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Thank you Glenn for your thorough inspection of our first house in July, 2009. Your inspection was the final subject on our offer to purchase the house. We really appreciate that you encouraged us to be present during the entire inspection. You showed and explained everything you were doing and were able to translate into layman terms when we didn't understand! We were able to renegotiate our offer with the seller, thanks to the detailed report that you provided us.

We have already recommended your services to a number of our friends who are looking to purchase a place!

Best,

Thank you again for coming out for us, Glenn !

Unfortunately, as a result of what all we had read and felt from the Council Minutes, on top of all the information from you, that both corroborated and added to the existing "concern list" and a growing feeling of stress with regards to how they run the Strata Corporation...

I was sitting with our Agent - trying to draw up the final details of our offer to clear all subjects based on them accepting a price adjustment - we realized that the time and stress of “working with the strata for the next 5 to 10 years, trying to convince people to be more proactive and deal with things properly”, just wasn't worth it even if they dropped the price a bit ! So, in the end, we agreed to walk away...

Thanks, I think you helped save us a whole ton of stress,

Hi, Glenn:

Thank you for your inspection at _______ 20th Avenue, Surrey.

That house has lots of unexpected problems. We have decided not to purchase that property…

My wife was impressed by your knowledge and appreciated your advice.

Thank you again!

Once again thank you for your excellent work and service, Glenn; we would definitely call you back in the future. Thank you also for your extra feedback!! We are really happy with your job and thanks.

We give you a “10 out of 10”.

Glenn has now done 3 home inspections for us and we were extremely impressed by his level of knowledge, his diligence and the fact that he seems genuinely concerned with our welfare and well-being and wants to ensure we find a good home to live in.

We would definitely recommend you to friends (“10”, again).

Because Glenn Duxbury & Associates are just plain excellent: extremely knowledgeable, so thorough in their inspections, reliable and nice guys too. They seem to really care about their job and their clients and realize a person's search for a home is important to them, so it's important to Glenn and his company, too.

Knowledge, skill, care, dedication…

We really couldn't think of anything you need to improve on. You are doing a great job and we wish all businesses were so trustworthy and competent.

Thank you again for the home inspection and report you did for us at 404-5350 Balsam St. Just to let you know - we did buy the condo there and are moving on 2nd of September.

If we know anyone requiring a house inspection done, we will definitely recommend that they contact you!

We recently purchased our first home. We used Glenn Duxbury & Associates and were very pleased with the home inspection service we received. We found Glenn to be very professional and he was always ready to answer our numerous questions - even when it meant he had to stop what he was doing. The fee that was charged was very reasonable.

The comprehensive report was helpful to us in making our decision to purchase our home. We will definitely use Glenn Duxbury & Associates again and will recommend them to everyone.

If you can remember when you took those important pictures and identified the new balcony repairs had come unglued or something - so if someone power washed their balcony after _________ had just completed the re sloping of balconies, it could leak water in ? After I paid $6,000 for this work !? I know you helped put something together that you had identified – a very critical problem that otherwise would have not been identified…

Your regular reports like this, plus ongoing site meetings once a month keep us up to speed on everything that is being done and allows us to ask questions, make informed choices and ensure poor work does not get done behind our backs...

* Think I will also try to sell in Spring (FYI)…

I very much appreciate the quality of your assessment, the detail you've provided and all the critical information you've shared with me! I will certainly keep your name and contact info on-hand and call you once again - when it is time for the 'next'.

Thanks again, Glenn, for doing that Inspection at __________ on such short notice. The Report was very helpful & as discussed - it would be great if you could also return in about a month to re-check the 'wet' Laundry and basement Bathroom tiles for moisture (proof they have repaired that problem). I'll be glad to pay for your return visit and also to recommend you!

After having a bad experience with a previous home inspection company, I wasn't expecting much better this time around, either, but was glad to be surprised. I found Glenn Duxbury & Associates through a Internet search engine. Glenn showed up at the stated time & completed a thorough inspection of our Guildford, Surrey townhouse. It was a very comforting experience seeing a true professional at work. He took his time & did not rush through any parts of the inspection. Moreover, he took over 3 & a half hours to complete our town home inspection, unlike the 30 min., the previous company did. I like to ask a lot of questions & he was patient in answering all of them. Paid attention to all the small details as well & not just the major ones. I would definitely use his services again & would recommend him to my family & friends.

Thank you for your services, Glenn & take care.

Best regards,

We were really impressed with the thorough house inspection Glenn did for us recently on a property we were looking to buy. We asked a lot of questions and he explained things very clearly.

Based on his findings, we decided not to go ahead with the purchase - and consider the inspection fee money well spent for the information and education we received. Thanks Glenn !

We'll be calling you soon for another inspection 🙂

First and foremost, I would like to thank-you for your honesty, integrity and the way you were able to explain everything to me in a language I could understand. You simplified this process for me, which made it less stressful and I thank you for that. I have dealt with many building professionals throughout my life and seeing your high work ethic is outstanding. It will be my pleasure to recommend you to all of the customers I deal with on a daily basis, as well as putting up your business cards throughout our depots, which is seen by hundreds of workers. I cannot say for sure if they will respond, but I am so impressed with your high standards, it will be a pleasure to do this as I feel you are one of the most professional and honest businessman I have come across in a very long time.

I thank-you again for your thorough job and I look forward to doing business with you again.

I have known Glenn for about 1 year. During that time I have seen him speak at events and met with him to discuss his services. I have also talked with realtors who have worked with him and know of him. So, Glenn is known in the industry for his expertise and professionalism. I have only heard positive things about him.

In an industry with so many options for home inspectors, I am very happy that I know Glenn which saves me time in looking for a home inspector if my clients ask for my recommendations. I can suggest they contact Glenn with no reservations at all.

Hi Glenn,

Lisa and I would like to thank you for services for 519 Lehman Place in Port Moody. We are moving ahead with the place and take possession next month.

Once again thank you for your services; we are very pleased with your knowledge and professionalism.

Best regards,

Hi Glenn,

Thank you for a hell of a job today in Vancouver… was very impressed. Have used 4 other inspectors for other purchases and you are, by far, head & shoulders above all the others…

Have an excellent weekend. Take care

Regards,

Hi, Glenn:

If we, or anyone we know, ever need a "Building Inspector" or a good Consultant, we will know who to contact, now.

Thank you so much for all your help, suggestions and input on this mess we’re in...

Regards,

Hi Glenn,

My wife Michelle and I recently hired you for a home inspection of a townhouse we were interested in purchasing (Boundary Park in Surrey).

We were very pleased with the detailed written report and observations that you provided throughout the inspection, so we would like to work with you again.

We are interested in having you do an inspection for us on yet another nearby town home in Surrey this week…
