Mountain climate & moisture
Canmore homes face deep snow, freeze-thaw, and higher humidity than Calgary. We pay close attention to roof condition, attic ventilation, ice damming, exterior sealants, and signs of moisture intrusion.
Townhomes, condos & vacation properties
From lock-and-leave condos to full-time family homes, we inspect in-suite systems, common-element risks, and secondary-suite or short-term-rental considerations.
Wildlife & building envelope
Bears, rodents and insects look for entry points. We check soffits, vents, foundation gaps, and decks for vulnerabilities that could let wildlife inside.
Same-week availability
Whether you're buying, selling, or finalizing a new build, we deliver detailed digital reports the same day so you can meet tight condition deadlines.
