from homeowners across Southern Vancouver Island

Adam was knowledgeable and thorough, with all of the right equipment. After he inspected the inside and outside of the home, he sat down with us and our realtor to talk about what he found and explained why it was important (or if it was not an issue as well).

Adam was awesome! His thorough inspection really made us feel confident throughout the home-buying and price negotiation process. The walkthrough and report were very detailed and easy to understand. He patiently answered all of our questions.

As a senior doing renovations on a rental home on our property I called Lockwood Home Inspections to be assured of proper workmanship. I found Adam to be prompt, courteous and respectful. It was a rewarding experience witnessing his professional attitude.
