Do I Need a Permit for Renovations

Construction, Home Education, Home InspectionBy Fortified Home Inspections

Do I Need a Permit for Renovations? This post is going to take a slightly different approach. Instead of giving thoughts or tips on maintaining your home, I’ve chosen to dedicate this post to educating and encouraging homeowners about the need for getting proper development permits before doing home renovations.   In some of the…

At Fortified, being homeowners ourselves, we understand the importance of the peace of mind that comes from having a home inspector thoroughly inspect your future home. A thorough home inspection can identify unseen dangers and potential problems that may not be revealed during a real estate showing. An inspection can also confirm for you that you're buying a safe and good-quality home.

Recently made online booking with Fortified for inspection of a property we're considering. Had very prompt email followup to fine-tune details of our inspection with particular acreage options and date around a long weekend.On inspection day the inspector was actually on the roof when we arrived, a few minutes late, as our realtor had met him, on time, and got the ball rolling. Bert spent the whole morning with us, walking around and through the entire house with considerable attention to detail, while he took photos, explained every step, and noted observations. Well worth the time. He sent us access/link to download the full report and a summary the same day. Very thorough, professional and highly recommended.

I had great experience with the home inspection. Bert conducted the inspection - professional , knowledgeable and thorough. Bert was exceptional in guiding me through the inspection and things that need to be thoroughly looked and pointing out flags. Also kind enough to fix some minor issue like clogging and some minor patch work.Bert managed to revisit our home second time on our request with no charge.Overall I highly recommend the team.

Home inspector was on time and friendly. The inspection and report was comprehensive and easy to understand. The report was sent the less than two hours after the inspector finished. I was able to easily make arrangements to fix any of the issues found due to a clear understanding of the severity and the level of service needed to make any repairs. Overall I absolutely would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection. Total price was clearly laid out before hand. Bert was fantastic.

I am a real estate investor who buys frequently and therefore order a lot of home inspections. I am not exaggerating when I say that Fortified are , by a mile, the very best company I have ever worked with. From their use of technology, presentation of their report, ease of reading and understanding their reports, I will for sure be using them again for all my business in Edmonton.

Definitely recommend Brett for home inspection. We have used multiple inspectors before for our previous purchases. No one even comes close to the quality of inspection Brett provides. He is thorough, knowledgeable and responsive. I would recommend Brett to anyone who wants to do a GOOD home inspection that can be trusted.

We had the pleasure to have Bert perform inspection on our home in Feb 2023. He was professional and went above and beyond what expected. We also got many home maintenance tips. He helped us identified the major issues that need to be look at and offered 2nd look once those issues identified has been resolved by builder. Highly recommend this super hero. Thanks Bert! Another super hero Garrett also answered all the questions we had and feel comfortable enough to go with Fortified with exceptional customer service. No regrets. They are priced right, we valued very much their exceptional dedication and integrity to their job. You will feel you made the right choice, you gave them your trust to do the work, and they have earned your trust in return. Thank you!❤️🙏👍

We used Bert for our home inspection and don't have one single complaint if you want a very thorough and quality home inspection this is your man! He did drone footage and thermal imagining of the entire home and checked every inch and tested/inspected everything the home had to offer. Very professional and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Fortified gives the best Home Inspections! Bert came out to inspect our new home. He was very respectful to us. He listened to our questions and took our concerns seriously. I’ve had five other inspections done in the past by other companies but this was by far the more detailed inspection we have had. Bert was knowledgeable on every topic. He took the time to look into everything with attention to detail. He shared how we could fix issues that were noted. The report was given to us right away. It included pictures even ones showing heat escaping the ceiling. Very impressive! Thanks Bert for your excellent report and professionalism. Choose Fortified for your next Home Inspection.

We recommend Fortified Home Inspections. Bert helped us do our 1 year inspection. He was very nice and knowledgeable, and most importantly very thorough with the inspection. There issues found that we would have never known if it weren’t for him. He even went beyond his scope to ensure that everything about the house was checked. He also gave us honest expert advise on how to solve some of the minor issues. Great job, Bert. It was a pleasure having you over. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family and would be using this company for the services they offer in the future!

Garret took the time on the phone to explain the regulations set in place to protect home buyers. I had to reschedule the inspection because the builder would not accommodate to have the new home inspected. At no cost he was able to push the inspection a week later.The inspector Bert was on time. He took the time to explain every item he was inspecting. The issues found were categorized from minor to major and a report was provided with tons of pictures and videos.Overall I wish they would of built my house very impressed on their professionalismThanks guys !

Garrett communicated with me on sms and email to make the inspection appointment prior to the house purchase. He was prompt to reply and was very clear about the price. A very competitive and reasonable price too. Bert was the one to do the house inspection. He texted and emailed me the day before the inspection to remind me. He showed up early and inspected the outside of the house with a drone before I arrived. He went through everything and even explained to me in details so I know how to deal with the furnace, the water pipe and water pump. Very friendly and professional. The report was released to me within hours after the inspection. I am very pleased with their service and price. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a home inspection before purchase.

Bert is personable, knowledgeable, kind, and just all in all an amazing human being. I felt informed during my entire home inspection and truly felt like he cared and had our best interests at heart. He went above and beyond and even offered to tighten the deck railing screws that were loose. And to top all of it off, his sense of humour made the inspection so much fun. Truly a gem!

Both my fiancé and I were greatly impressed with the level of service Fortified Inspections provide for our pre-possession inspection. Please appreciate my high recommendations of this inspection service being that I am experienced Project Manger and earlier in my career a JM Carpenter. During the inspection Bert was very helpful as I bounced ideas off of him for our plans for developing the basement specifically the plumbing in the partially finished basement. You will not be disappointed with this company for home inspections.

A very positive experience with Kaven for our first time home inspection.I appreciated the time he invested to do the inspection, going through a lot of details that I could ask questions about and learn. It was more of “know your home” than “here’s what’s wrong”.The report received was great, identifies all the items inspected. It also summarized the deficient items at the end to be tracked easily.He used a drone to inspect the roof, there was two inches of snow at that time but we could still see the vents and the exhaust fans.Payment was easy as he had a mobile terminal.I would recommend to family and friends!! :)

I am glad I called Fortified Home Inspections to do a home inspection. Kevan Rapley did the home inspection. He arrived exactly at the time we had arranged to meet at the house. Before the inspection, Kevan went through a total home inspection checklist with me and explained exactly what he was going to do and how long would it take to do the inspection. He gave me the option of following him during his inspection or let him work alone. After the inspection, which took about 3 hours, he went through the complete checklist with me and explained of everything that he did. He pointed out the areas of concern and made recommendations of anything that needed to be looked into. He emailed me the inspection report the same day, complete with pictures and videos of everything he inspected. I am very happy and satisfied with the home inspection done by Kevan. I would definitely recommend Fortified Home Inspections to anyone who needs a thorough and a professional home inspection done at a very reasonable price. Thank you Kevan.
