What's Up With This

[John Allingham]

From the local newspaper.

[Allan G. Berdahl, CMI]

Man if this isn't a witch hunt, I don't know what is. I wonder if they will give inspectors a chance for rebutal. Highly doubt it.

[James H. Bushart]

Every home inspection association in North America should have its members bombard this advertisement with coolheaded, logical and well worded objections.

[Christopher Currins]

Key words>>> "and found hidden problems after you moved in"


Were they hidden from the report or hidden from the naked eye during a visual inspection?

Hope it stays up there for sure.

Notice that came out right after the CBC marketplace report on new home inspections. Thought he was up to something. I think he is planning on changing the industry to the Mike Holmes way of doing things.

With a sledge hammer Gerry?-------

LoL I don't know if you saw the clip. When he was inspecting a home he was punching holes in the garage dry wall with his fist and his comment. Just as I suspected no insulation.

[Rodney Misener]

I know alot of people who are fans of Mike Holmes' way of doing work. I bet they wouldn't be fans when they got the bill!! Anyone can rip a home apart and find problems. I don't think any home is perfect. IMO, Mr. Holmes needs a reality check.

[jbettencourt]

Go to his website , he is getting involved in new home building with his "Holmes Homes Communities". He is a marketing machine.

[Allen Cavdek]

Guess Mike"s ratings are plummiting in his other show,,now he needs to go after home inspectors
Thats OK...if he speaks the whole truth!!!
Secondly How can you have someone doing a home inspection show if they are not a seasoned home inspector????? or even one at that Ha Ha Ha !!!!
Not to worry we have already set up with my attorny,,if he bashes all home inspectors and misleads people we shall do a Class Action Lawsuite against the producers of the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember a home inspection
1. Greatly reduces the risk of buying a home cannot completely remove all risks
2. Within a 3 hour average time frame you are limited to what you can do or find
3. latend/hidden defects cannot be found
4. No one can re-create the same scenario/invironment after the home inspection
5. Without dismantling the home completly all defects will not be found!!!
What do people expect for around $300.00 most are cheap nigotiators on inspection fees and they end up hiring a low skilled home inspector who writes soft reports...The then have themselves to blame.
Hope you contact home inspectors before you do this show???

[George A. H. Luck]

Good for you Allen. If it comes to that I will be happy to kick in $$, as will other inspectors, I'm sure. This guy is a first class A-hole and we shouldn't let him attack and destroy our industry without fighting back.

Gerry,
That is how we do it in Barrie. You should see Erich.... smashes holes in almost every wall of a house. When I told him they do not insulate partition walls.....

Funny comment I copied from CanNACHI message board

He has some great ideas. and then some bone head moves as well. He does know how to hype up a show. If you said," This wall needs some insulation behind".... does not get the same attention as walking to the wall, punching it out and hollering " I thought so, this is not to code! They should be fired! I am sick of seeing such shoddy work! We have to rip it out! This will cost $100,000 to repair! ($10 for materials, $999,990 for me)" Now statements like that make it all worth watching!
