I am so glad I hired Anton to inspect the house of my dreams. He was able to point out all the issues and provided an excellent, detailed report. If it weren’t for him, I might have had lots of future troubles inside and out of the house. Thank you!

The inspection was super clear and the service was of great quality. Being new to Canada, I was stressed about buying my first home but TRU Inspections made the whole process so much easier.
Maleek, Brampton, ON
Having our prospective home inspected by Anton was the right choice. He is very honest, positive, thorough and patient with multiple questions he encouraged us to ask during the inspection. He has completed the inspections for us in the past and we will use his services again and will recommend him to friends and family.

TRU Inspections is the company that provides great services. Anton is very customer oriented, friendly and knowledgeable. We asked a million questions during the inspection, and he was able to answer all of them with the great deal of patience and professionalism. The report they provided was top-notch, comprehensive, with lots of pictures and easy to understand. We would highly recommend Anton and TRU Inspections to anyone looking to buy a home in Vaughan.
Linda and Sam, Vaughan, ON
Anton from TRU Inspections has performed the inspection for me last week. He was very professional and thorough walking me through the house and explaining how everything works. It was some kind of revelation to me – so many things in my new house that I wouldn’t know how they work and what needs to be monitored and maintained. Very positive experience and professional services! Highly recommended anyone to trust Anton with the job.
