Your Home Inspector - Gene Meandro

Our straightforward, uncomplicated approach to the inspection covers every possible aspect of the home and yet packages it in a clear, concise and simple report, allowing you to evaluate and make an informed decision on the home.  We provide, free of charge, a preventative maintenance and cost estimating guide to assist in planning and budgeting for regular maintenance, repairs or renovations of the home. A maintenance calendar also assists clients in the regular upkeep of their new home.

As well, Lighthouse is available any time to answer your questions about the home - before closing or well after you settle into your new home.  We want to ensure that you have all the information and can you suggestions and assistance on maintenance and repairs to the house.

Here's what Gene's clients have to say:

1RST TIME HOME BUYER ...THEY PUT MY MIND AT EASE. Gene was recommended to me by a real estate agent Ameil Gill. I'm a first time home buyer and to be honest I know nothing about owning a home. Gene was thorough, patient and extremely informative. He took me through the entire home, answered all my questions and gave me some amazing pointers. I have actually recommended Lighthouse inspections to my co-worker and she was very pleased with their service. You guys are awesome and I will continue to recommend and use your services. Regards, Polly - March 28, 2012
