Message from the President
Baker Street Home Inspection Services has been providing accurate and insightful information to our valued clients since 1985. Over the last twenty years we have reviewed over 30,000 homes and buildings to the satisfaction of our clients.

Whether you are buying an older house, buying new from a builder or request us to solve a problem with the house you own, our inspection and consulting services are focused on your individual requirements. For that reason, no two inspections or consultations are ever alike. That is why we encourage you to attend the inspection so that you may effectively communicate your ideas to us.

Once our initial service is complete we remain available to you for additional telephone advice indefinitely. Think of Baker Street as your home care consultant for as long as you own your home.

We look forward to working with you. You will find our staff very knowledgeable and always willing to serve.

Sincerely,

Jeff Clarke, CET, RHI
President
Baker Street Home Inspection Services Inc.

Proudly serving the GTA since 1985.

LEGAL REPORTS AND EXPERT TESTIMONY

Construction projects and related contracts can be very complex. A successful job depends on almost everything going right. Sometimes it doesn't. Construction disputes are very common in today's home building and remodeling industry.

Homeowners, or their lawyers, usually contact us well into or at projection completion. Invariably, it is at this stage when disputes come to a head. Homeowners who find themselves on the short end of the stick need our help in one major aspect to help determine their financial loss or contractual shortcoming.

Our technical reports and project review is essentially an audit of the entire scope of work. We generally classify grievances into the following categories:
 
  • deficient work
  • incomplete work
  • extras charged to contract which are not viable or have been excessively charged
  • material or workmanship substitution of a lesser quality than originally specified
 
The more project documentation you have in your possession the better. That would include:

  • approved permit drawings
  • construction contract and specifications
  • any correspondence from the builder before or during construction
  • written building department correspondences

We are very knowledgeable in codes and building standards. This awareness helps determine whether there was a breach of contractual obligation on the builder's part.

    Codes and standards we consider include:

  • The Ontario Building Code
  • The Ontario Electrical Safety Code
  • The Ontario Gas Utilization Code
  • Ontario New Home Warranty Program Code and Construction Guide for Housing

    • Being readily available to provide expert testimony is an important obligation of our service to you. Many construction disputes never end up in court, but if yours does we are there to help you all the way.
