Renovation Inspections are requested when a home has had significant renovations, additions, or unique systems installed. These inspections help homeowners understand how new work integrates with the existing structure and whether key components appear to have been completed safely and appropriately.
Renovations can greatly improve comfort, functionality, and value—but they can also introduce risks if work is rushed, poorly coordinated, or not fully documented. A renovation inspection provides an independent, professional overview of the visible results of construction or upgrades.
Evans Essential Home Inspections performs renovation inspections throughout mid Vancouver Island, including Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Comox, Courtenay, Duncan, Campbell River, Port Alberni, Tofino, and Ucluelet. These inspections are commonly requested after kitchen or bathroom remodels, additions, basement conversions, structural changes, or the installation of specialized systems.
The inspection focuses on how renovated areas connect with the rest of the home, reviewing workmanship, moisture management, ventilation, structural alterations, and general safety considerations. While a renovation inspection is not a municipal code compliance inspection, it can help identify red flags, inconsistencies, or areas that warrant further review by a qualified trade or authority.
Renovation inspections are particularly valuable when purchasing a recently renovated home, completing work done by previous owners, or preparing for resale. They can also provide reassurance when documentation is limited or when multiple trades were involved.
Following the inspection, you’ll receive a clear report outlining observations, areas of concern, and practical recommendations. The goal is to give you confidence in the work completed—or clarity on what may need attention—so you can move forward with informed decisions.
If your home has undergone major changes, a renovation inspection offers peace of mind and an objective assessment of the work you can see.
